'of course, our children's attitudes can be influenced both for good and for bad.

Moshe calls bro Sinutko- Grrr!

SCI FI fans - looking for a story I read 35 yrs ago
by hamsterbait ini read this in a collection i got from the school library.. a man wakes up from cryogenic sleep, to see a painted bust.
he is restrained.. turns out he is the last human, and the robots have attempted to keep him alive by painting a statue so he is not shocked by their appearance.. the lead robot becomes known as "sister.

I have another XJW advice article if anyone could use it
by IsaacJS2 inhttp://www.atheistgeeknews.com/xjw04whytheyactweird.shtml.
i tried to explain some of the bizarre behavior and conversations that exxers like us have to go through with wt friends and family.
a lot of us find it hard to stand up to the parents, the elders, and all that, especially because we tend to see them as innocently "doing what they think is right" or "meaning well.

WHO WAS THIS POSTER? Help please!
by Open mind inwhen i stumble across someone's long life story or a really good sounding long thread, i often cut and paste it into my nerdy little pda for later reading at the kingdom hell.. well, i did that for a life story from a poster who signed off as "dave" but i blew it and didn't get his username or the url for the thread.
his life story in a nutshell centered around a 2 week trip he made to bethell to work as a consultant for the art/graphics department back in the 80's.
it really woke him up and he subsequently left the dubs.

Atheists, Agnostics: Do you still pray?
by Eh infor people who left, not only the organization, but also the canaanite/judaic/christian/islamic/bahai god, do you still pray?
before we left the group we (my wife and i) were questioning the bible and the existence of god.
being witnesses, we were uneducated and never heard of things like pascal's wager, but we (my wife especially) had come to a similar idea - even if the whole thing were ballocks, there was little harm in continuing.

Luke 16: 19-24
by vlad in19but a certain man was rich, and he used to deck himself with purple and linen, enjoying himself from day to day with magnificence.20but a certain beggar named laz arus used to be put at his gate, full of ulcers21and desiring to be filled with the things dropping from the table of the rich man.
yes, too, the dogs would come and lick his ulcers.22now in course of time the beggar died and he was carried off by the angels to the bosom [position] of abraham.. also, the rich man died and was buried.23and in ha des he lifted up his eyes, he existing in torments, and he saw abraham afar off and laz arus in the bosom [position] with him.24so he called and said, father abraham, have mercy on me and send laz arus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because i am in anguish in this blazing fire.. my old account does not seem to be working, so i am not a new member but i did not post loads anyway.
i am an now an athiest myself but anytime i ask jws about a scripture they say its pointless discussing it with me becuase i am only doing it to tear them down.
