New Light
by choosing life ini watched a documentory on cults on the history channel last night.
what jumped out at me was that they said that cults could not exist if they didn't get people to believe in "new light" and "present truth".
the fact that they used those exact words sent a chill down my spine.. they also stated that cults are apocalyptic and believed heavily that god had chosen them to rule the new world after armegeddon.

Does anyone play the drums?
by Schism inwhile we are on the subject of singing and piano lessons, i figured i'd ask this question.. i play guitar (some piano), and sing, and i am desperately wanting to have and play the drums.
it's been on my mind for quite a while now, and it's almost like when i was 12 and had the "guitar fever" and i wouldn't shut up about it until my dad would get me one.
i'm starting to talk about drums every day.

Does anyone know about real estate (mom? dad?)
by Schism inyeah, i won't ask my real life parents this, so i am turning to my jwd parents for help, lol.. i have just caught wind that a 2 week long class will be opening up on a nearby campus.
once the class is over, the students will then be able to take a state test and get a realtor's license.
the course costs $700.. ok, so i need to get a job, otherwise we are going to starve to death.

August 15, 2006 "Do You Remember" Causes More ???s
by Schism inboredom got the best of me, and i took a glance at the "do you remember?
" on pg 30 of aug 15th watchtower 2006.. the question: "under the law, why did certain natural sexual functions make a person "unclean"?".
the answer: "the laws concerning uncleanness ascribed to seminal emissions, menstruation, and childbirth fostered good hygiene and a healthy lifestyle, stressed the sanctity of blood, and showed the need for atonement of sins.".

Is this your first post JW Christmas? Tell us about it!
by LovesDubs ini was still in the borg when my children came...the oldest was going on 9 and the other two 6-1/2 and 2 when i decided it was time for mom to jump ship and run so my children,,,and me could live normal lives.
my neighbors whom i had dutifully avoided as bad association for all those years, heard that i had left the jws and that my children were having their first christmas ever in december of 1997. they got together and brought to us a little well worn and loved artificial tree, boxes of extra ornaments from their own collections, some ceramic village pieces with lights inside (which has grown to a really big village now with people...something my kids delight in setting up each year), and presents for the kids.
i tell you what...i have rarely been as moved as i was at that moment...the love these people showed for us even though i had never allowed myself to be close to them, being told they were evil, was heartwarming and pure.

2006 Our planet's health checkup
by Schism indid anyone else watch this on national geographic last night?
it was a program with a bunch of experts recapping the good and the bad on earth this past year.. the bad news: there are too many humans, we are filthy, it's still getting hotter, we just can't learn to stop killing so many animals wastefully, polar bears are running out of food fast, china can't get enough shark fin soup, china is making more pollution now than ever, china needs a wake-up call about eating so many sharks and how it will destroy the ecosystem.. the good news: it can still be fixed, thousands of acres in different countries became national parks to preserve wildlife and forests, africa has become heavyhanded in their fight against poachers, chinese sports stars are swearing off shark fin soup to try to persuade others to follow, 70% of people (i don't know which people.
i'm guessing all of them) want to be more proactive about going green, and big comanies realise now that they will make more money by appealing to the public as being eco-friendly.
