What do you think about the latest Mentalist episode? (SPOILERS!)
by will-be-apostate inred john is sheriff thomas mcallister, which was a big surprise for me and also a bit dissapointing.
i was expecting a more complicated reveal of red john.
also the scene when jane kills him is just not that much epic as one would expect that it should be after 5 season of chasing.. however i look forward to see the way lisbon an the others get out of this mess.

I donĀ“t fit in here, so goodbye and take everyone.
by Mr Fool inafter some reflections i have come to the decision to disfellowship myself from here, permanently.

All those times Jehovah answered my prayers...
by Julia Orwell in...and granted me strength, friends, a job, whatever...was all either through my own effort alone or sheer luck.. i wanted a government job so i prayed for one and went out looking for one every day for ages and made a heap of applications...and got one.
my own effort.. i wanted a friend and prayed for one, crying myself to sleep with loneliness.....and after 6 months in the new congregation someone reached out to me.
chance.. i prayed to be able to stand up to my family when they put pressure on me about christmas etc...my own cult conditioning so strong.. i prayed to find a nice husband...luck when i moved congregations and one of those sisters who just has to match make introduced us.

The Euthyphro Dilemma as it Applies to the Doctrine of Atonement
by yadda yadda 2 ininteresting article here that kind of shows how absurd the idea is that jesus' ransom sacrifice could atone for all the evil in the world.
also makes a point showing the absurdity of the trinity doctrine.. http://www.infidels.org/kiosk/article869.html.

Did you suffer humiliating childhood experiences as a JW?
by yadda yadda 2 inin john cedar's (jwsurvey.org) latest excellent article on his blog about a us teacher that got reprimanded for trying to force a jw boy to salute the american flag, he relates a similar childhood experience where he was terribly humiliated at school in view of his classmates.. this reminded me of a similar humiliating experience i suffered at school, when i was 11 years old.
during our school's end of year 'prom night' (not actually called that in the country i live) which was in the style of a disco night, my unbalanced jw mother came to pick me up early and stormed right into the hall and grabbed my arm and pulled me out in front of all my friends right in the middle of the dancing.
on the way out she gave the teachers a lecture about the music being far too loud and how unwholesome the whole thing was for children of my age.
