  The news media and the watchtower have something in common. They both rely on fear to get people hooked and keep them from changing the channel or throwing that rag mag in the garbage.

  Yes, the world is coming to an end for all of us one day. It's called death. We could meet our end by means of a terrorist bomb, and earthquake, a flood, or via the next virus mutation. I'm hoping for a massive brain hemmorage in my sleep when I'm 90 (quick and relatively painless). The point is we are all going to die sooner or later and we don't know where or when. The two things in this world most likely to cause premature death are car accidents and smoking. (too lazy to look up medical reference). Do we go around in constant fear of those things? No, we happily get in our cars every day and zoom around with barely a care. Yet, we agonize over the remote chance one of these other less preferable deaths should come our way prematurely. The only certainty we have is that one of those things we fear will kill us one day, but only one of them and only once. Why waste what time we have to live worrying over how we are going to die?

  the partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me.

  the first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth.

  That's OK SirNose

  I can be self-centered, tedious and neurotic at times myself. How about that teacher who gave them an A+. What a great sense of humour he had!

  Sir Nose:

  Now, I thought it was Rebecca who really had a penchant for prose! But then I'm from Venus and your from Mars.

  Actually, this was one of the funniest things I've ever read.

  What keeps you from killing yourself?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every once in a while, the whole "futility of life" thing washes over me and something inside of me mentions the suicide option.

  not that it's ever seriously considered, but one of the low-level accounting-types in my head quietly sends around a "worst-case scenario" memo that everyone reads, then dismisses.. after all, things always perk up.

  "but," reminds the pessimistic little guy that should've been fired years ago, "they always go back down, too.

  My son keeps me from killing myself. He is also the reason I usually feel like killing myself (teenager). There's your irony for you Auld Soul!

  Revenge: If you want to make everyone who ever made you feel bad suffer you don't leave. You stick around and get even (as in living well is the best revenge).

  Vanity: I'm too fat to die. I have to lose weight first so the paramedics and morticians and everyone else will say, "What a horrible tragedy. She was much too young and thin and attactive to die!"

  Science: I am waiting for science to figure out how I can morph into a fly on the wall so I can watch everyone at my funeral wail uncontrollably and throw themselves onto my coffin and into the grave due to the enormity of their grief.

  p.s. Quandry: Thank you for your post. I was thinking maybe I should go to the Hall just to have someone to hang out with because I have been lonely since I left six months ago. After reading the sick, hurtful thing the elders did to your teenage girl, I remembered why I left. There is no one there to hang around with that is worth putting up with that kind of mental and emotional abuse!

  *** w00 3/1 p. 22 keeping life simple to serve jehovah ***.

  since things were now going well at home and i was healthy and unencumbered, i decided to leave home and enter the pioneer service, as the full-time ministry is called.

  my parents encouraged me to do so.

  LDH: Well, I was told a few months ago by my dad, who is a high ranking presiding overseer in his congregation, that the society told the elders at the elder's school that Armageddon was going to be here SOON! So there!
