Atheist with crisis of conscience. Please help.
by parakeet ini'm an atheist having a serious crisis of conscience.
please help.. i've read many, many posts that talk about atheism as a faith as distinct as any other faith.
there has also been much made of the atheist lifestyle.. my dilemma -- i don't know what the atheistic faith entails.

ExJWs either BAs or atheists -- do you agree?
by parakeet ina week or two ago, a poster (i forget who; sorry) noted that exjws tend to fall into two camps -- born-again christians or atheists/agnostics.
there doesn't appear to be much of a middle ground, e.g.
joining a traditional, mainstream religion.. the observation has some merit to it.

Dubs and doorbells -- has there been some "new light"?
by parakeet inthis afternoon my husband looked out the window and saw two unmistakable dubs shuffling up our street.
he didn't have time to warn me before they came to our door (he knows i get a bit testy whenever they visit).
i was in a nearby room, but heard nothing, saw nothing.

MsMcDucket's mom
by parakeet inmsmcducket's mother died this morning.
she posted the announcement deep in a thread she had started several months ago when her mother first became seriously ill, and as a result the post sort of got lost.
msmcducket, i hope you don't mind my taking the initiative to start a new thread about your mom.

Need help from former cheerleaders
by parakeet ini have a friend who is researching for a book she's writing about the social mores of the 1950s.
she's been asking friends to remember the cheers (as in cheerleading) they heard in high school.
i can only remember a few, but because she's a good friend, i decided to ask all of you for help.. do you remember any cheers from your pep rallies?

A real-life dub fairy tale. Happy ending? Not so much.
by parakeet innew light for you started a thread a day or two ago regarding an email that's been circulating around dubdom.
it's a fairy tale in which a 60-year-old guy with down's syndrome supposedly searched for years for dubs to connect with.
when he finally found one, all the dubs rejoiced that jehovah doesn't let his faithful followers down, blah, blah.

I'm celebrating The Memorial, parakeet-style
by parakeet inthis year marks an important anniversary for me -- the 30th year i've not attended the big shindig.. i believe i'll throw a virtual party for myself -- wine i can actually drink, leavened bread (so much tastier than unleavened), maybe crab dip.
balloons that read "in memory of the memorial.".
everyone's invited, provided they bring something that adds to the anti-memorial theme.. .
