Disfellowshipping, what else can they do in a case like this one? .....
by HappyGuy inokay, the disfellowshipping doctrine is inhumane, usually.
but, i remember a "brother" in jacksonville, florida, can't remember his name, i was 17 at the time, i think he was 18. this scumbag claimed to be a jehovah's witness.
we went to the same school.

My children's house burned, how "worldly" people are responding...
by HappyGuy ini have three daughters, aged 26, 20, and 17. the house they live in (with their mother, my ex wife) is a house that i bought for them, i paid off the mortgage and deeded the house to my ex wife and told her that i wanted the children to have a home that they would not have to worry about losing.
that was 14 years ago.
i did not want my ex to suffer due to the divorce so i gave her that house free and clear.

Why Christains make no sense to me, an example from Haiti...
by HappyGuy ini have some in laws who recently went to haiti to do "missionary" work at one of the churches there.
this "missionary" work basically consisted of singing and dancing and entertaining the church goers.
my relatives stayed at some houses owned by the church on the church property.

Working for a JW, what a horrible experience...
by HappyGuy inone of the things that made me start doubting the wtbts and jws was the way jws treat their jw employees.. i worked for jws several times.
the experience was always the same.. 1. pay was less than the going market rate for the same work at "worldly" companies.. 2. there were no benefits of any kind, no paid holidays, no sick time, no overtime, no insurance.. 3. whenever possible the jw forced the jw employees to pay their own company related expenses like gas, pager, company uniform, etc.. 4. any attempt to discuss the poor working conditions was always responded to with "but you get to make all the meetings and you get to go to the assemblies and you get to work for brothers.
" and, if you said "i would go to meetings regardless of who i worked for" and pushed back on that answer then they started in on your "loyalty" and you were unspritual if you questioned a "brother" and were not "loyal" to your employer.. 5. any attempt to find another job was met with harassment, being told you could not give the jw employer as a reference, being threatened with lawsuits, etc.. 6. the jw employers themselves were lazy and would not do the things they expected of their jw employees.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------.

Princess and the frog, best movie I have seen in a long time....
by HappyGuy ini don't usually go in for this sort of movie, but the princess and the frog is the best movie i have seen in a long time.. funny, charming, wholesome.
the attention to character detail and development is incredible.
a granny firefly with a walker, flying along with the other fireflies but pretending to walk with the walker.. my favorite line in the movie "i think i chipped my favorite tooth".
