by FreedomFrog ini just read a thread where one of the posters was saying christmas is not pagan.
from my research and what i remember reading up on it, it was taken from the pagans.. let me explain.
first, i apologize because i researched this about 4 years ago and i don't have all of my research material at hand.

2 Thess 2:11
by Dawn inbecause of this, god sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
growing up as a jw i believed that this scripture applied point blank to apostates - those that decided not to believe in jehovah.
because of this one scripture i was terrified to really look into my doubts and ask too many questions - i was afriad that god might decide to just "let me believe a lie" and write me off.. it took me a long time to get over that fear - the one scripture that finally resonated with me one day was mathew 7:7 "ask and it will be given to you".

Another Wealthy Celebrity Gets off the Hook (Temporarily) Phil Spector
by flipper inhello people.
since i have a justice streak a mile long, after reading about this little weasel getting off in a hung jury today on a murder charge, just had to comment on the lack of justice in our society.
it seems in this country, if you are a star ex-athlete guilty of killing his ex-wife , or a famous singer guilty alledgedly of molesting kids over the years, or in spectors case a record producer with constantly bad hairstyles, it seems as if you can avoid punishment with the right connections or amount of money that buys top attorneys.

Hello everyone, first post.
by Frjprice inhello, i just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here - as i will be posting here.. i grew up a jw and pioneered, was a ministerial servant, ect, i was in the organization for 17 years.
i left and naturally my family did as they were told and cut off all communication with me.
this left a horrible taste in my mouth for not just jw's, but any religion for that matter.

What's Your Favorite Seinfeld Episode?
by Lloyd Braun inmy favorite all time episode is the tennis/j peterman incident where kramer is walking across the tennis court and a racquet goes flying and hits a machine and kramer gets pelleted with tennis balls.
another really good one is when newman smells kramer basting on the roof and starts seeing him as food.. .
