OMG Have you ever taken a keyboard apart to clean it?
by Lady Lee ini did this years ago and it was so gross i didn't want to do it again.
and each key came out separately - a real pain when you wanted to put it all back together.
my good ergonomic keyboard wouldn't put in spaces so typing was a pain.

"That I may make a reply to him that is taunting me"
by under_believer inso for our "congregation book study", we are still deeply mired in the bible teach book.
this week's lesson talks about the whole idea that the book of job relates the central issue of the entire cosmos, a vital issue raised by satan, where satan questions whether humans follow god because of what they are given, or because he deserves it.
i'm surprised that the book of job, obviously archetypal and figurative (for example, i doubt people back then literally spoke for hours in hebrew verse, and i doubt that four messengers showed up all in a row with stories telling that they, only they, got away to tell of a disaster) even has a place in the canon; aside from its lack of any specific historical position or accuracy, the argument it advances (especially as the society interprets it) is facile: the idea that privileged, wealthy, powerful job somehow stands as a representative for all humanity and serves as a litmus test for man's interaction with god is downright silly.

becoming a jehovah's witness
by pcecilia inhello all who may read this, i am in the midst of writing a story, and a character who has appeared in the story is a jehovah's witness... i am attempting to gain a better understanding of the religion and its practitioners so as to present witnesses in a fair light... i am of no religious affiliation, but i assume that anything that a person believes is valid as long as they have put it through much consideration and thoughtfulness...
) of you are ex-witnesses, but i would like to know about what first attracted you to the religion to begin with... was it just passed down in your family, or did you make a conscious choice to become a witness?
if so, for what reasons?

past experience leads to present curiousity
by twilly ini'll be honest; i'm mostly a curiosity seeker, though i do have some jw history.
my grandmother (my dad's mom) who just recently passed away at the age of 86 was a jehovah's witness; at her funeral i heard the jw story line about resurrection and eternal life on earth.
i was not unfamiliar with it.
