  How many Christmas yard ornaments is too many I ask?

  there is a house in my neighborhood that has to hold the record for christmas decorations in their yard.

  the neighborhood i live in has one road in and out so we can't avoid this eyesore.. i swear, they have every inflatable, plastic, lit up, wire formed, animated yard decoration that has ever been manufactured.

  it looks like k-mart threw up in their yard.. they have enough lights on the house, bushes, trees, eaves, roof, fence to signal the mothership into a safe landing from any galaxy in the universe.

  Islam Diss'ed Again....

  seems a 54 year old british school teacher who is teaching grammer school classes in the sudan has committed a despicable act by blastpheming and showing no respect for the prophet!

  can you believe it; she actually allowed the children in her class to name a teddy bear being used in a class project muhammad!!

  the sudanise government, carrying out its god given duty is putting her on trial.

  Although it certainly is remarkable for the extremist Muslims to carry out this punishment, one has to wonder, what was she thinking, doing that in the extreminst state of Sudan? No doubt this is obsurd, but she must have known this is a big no-no. Hello?? If I go to a place where Budda is worshipped and pull a prank like that, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get my ass handed to me, duh!! Why don't people, especially a school teacher, think of these things ahead of time?

  The Oklahoma City skyline at Christmastime (No atheists need apply)

  i was zipping along, driving towards downtown at dusk this evening to pick up the mrs from work.

  i was sitting with my niv bible under my left butt cheek (i use it to balance out my 2 1/2 inch wallet in my right back pocket) and flipping channels between the three christian rock channels available trying to find the best christmas music to sing along with.

  i happened to look up at our skyline and noticed that the folks at two of the largest and tallest buildings downtown had begun to configure the lights inside for the holidays.

  Now you have left, are you donating more money to charities ?

  by aligot ripounsous in

  i'm still a nominal jw, get literature at the hall, use the premises (power, heating etc.

  ) so that i feel that i have to bring a financial contribution to the organization.

  however, i find the wts's constant calling for money, especially at this time of the year, rather irritating and as far as i'm concerned, it is utterly counter-productive since i think that i will donate less this year than in previous years.

  Yes, definately. I have found myself in a more giving mood/spirit since leaving. It feels really good to give to the poor and homeless.
