Armageddon Clubs
by Dune inwhen i was 13, i remember an 18 year old "brother" telling me that he and his friends were part of some pact called the "armageddon club".
the object of this club/pact was to stay single(unmarried) until armaggedon.
the last person to stay single would win something like a sum of money or bragging rights i guess.

Tell your coworkers you're no longer a witness?
by Dune inwell, when i first started working at my current place of employement, i was (still am) a witness.
i went through a whole year of having to explain over and over why i didnt vote, why i didnt celebrate birthdays, thanksgivings, christmas and why i couldnt take part in lotteries and all the rest of that crap.
i'm two years into the job and now it doesnt present a "problem" anymore.

"Help! my dad is watching Pornography" Cries of a JW teen.
by Dune inas some of you may know, i'm still an active witness and i'm still in the planning stages of my "escape".
i met a sister at a district convention a year ago and i've been talking to her on aim for a while.
i think she is very amusing considering that she is very intelligent and often voices her views on the doctrinal falicies of the wtbs, but when its my turn to give my two cents she makes it seem as if i'm the only poztate.

Do you miss the sense of Superiority?
by Dune inwell i'm slowly wrapping up my stay in jw land, but as i move further and further into the year, i've noticed that my views of the world are slowly changing.
no more am i just a watcher who feels completely aloof of the world's struggles and injustices.
i dont look at activists, philantropers and humanitarians and silently laugh to myself because i know that whatever they are doing is a waste of time (because the end is so close).. i was listening to that song by the flaming lips called "do you realize?

Sign that God doesnt care about us? (not for the squeemish).
by Dune ini was surfing around the other day and came across a guy citing the existence of the guinea worm as a sign that god really doesnt care about us.. the guinea worm is a parasitic organism that is eaten by water fleas.. they in turn, are consumed by human beings from contaminated water.
the stomach acids kill the water flea and the parasite is released into the human intestine.. the parasite grows and within a year it potrudes out of the skin so it can release eggs.
(at this point it can get up to 3 feet in length).. the parasite is extremely difficult to remove and the only effective method is to wrap the potruding portions around a stick and pull it out an inch at a time for several weeks.
