GOP budget cuts would lead to furloughs at tsunami warning centers, undermining their ability to react.

by villabolo in

this article os posted from climate progress.

while the oil companes receive 50 bilion dollars in subsidies, with republicans thwarting obama's attempts to lower those welfare handouts to the corporate elite ($ 4 billion); the gop is, in its eternal wisdom, slashing the budgets for tsunami warning centers, hurricane monitoring weather satellites, and first-responders to weapons of mass destruction.

how much do these beancounters save?

The Republicans learned a lot from Katrina, didn't they?

Just remember, Brownie has everything under control!

Don't get me wrong, it does suck. But after being on ex-JW boards for years, and being DF'ed for almost 10; I do see some hidden blessings.

First, you do NOT have to struggle with fading successfully. You are just out; the cord has been cut. No suffering about losing friends, they are long gone!

You have the opportunity to move forward in life immediately. You have no fear of the elders anymore, as they have absolutely no power over you. What can they do, "Double Disfellowship" you?

I see people struggling to mix bullshit meetings into their lives that are diametricly opposed to what they now believe. I would rather have glass shards shoved up my rectum than go to another meeting.

Family wise, I really do miss my one sister that hasn't spoken to me in years. Then again, I am blessed thatI don't have to have anything to do with my other sister and her husband. I would be shunning them if it wasn't the other way around.

Just a few random thoughts . . .

Hobbies

being a jw, especially if you work, there is no time for anything else really.

work, field service, meetings.

wash, rinse, repeat.

SCUBA diving, golf, guitar. Less time for it now than when I was a JW. My job is a time sucker.

What will the excuse be?!?

by brotherdan in

so we've all heard the ramblings of obves and larsinger about the coming end of the world this year or next.

i want to know what you think the exuses will be when they do not come.. harold camping is the one proclaiming may 21, 2011 as the time of the rapture and october 21, 2011 as the end of the world.

when no one disappears on may 21st, what do you think his excuse will be?

JRK

I have my good shades. I am ready for the end to come. Bring it on.

Disfellowshipped for eating FATTY FOODS, BEING FAT, BAD DIET

by free2beme in

jw
friends

heart desease is the leading cause of deaths in this country.

bad diets are leading to an ever increasing population of diabetic and fat children and adults.

if we keep this up, more and more people will be too sick to work or live a normal life.

JRK

Because of the prohibition on higher education, and pushing people out in service, all they have time and money for is McDonald's. And the greasy dollar menu at that. It is systemic, so they will not DF people for becoming fat turds.
