Bristol Palin and her typical black & white right-wing / religious mindset
by Simon inso, bristol palin is through to the final on dancing with the stars even though it's obvious to everyone with half a brain that she doesn't deserve to be based on her dancing.
she's there simply because the obsessive palin fundies are voting for her.. i thought it was interesting listening to her describe people who think she shouldn't be there as "the haters".. what black and white thinking and typical of the religious / right-wing mentality.
people can't have an opinion that is based on reality and see that better dancers were voted off while she stayed way past her skill level warranted.

"Perfect weekend"??? I would go out in service saturday morning dread every step and every knock of the door praying no one would answer. Finally it was over 2 hours seemed like 2 days. Would get home and start counting the hours till the next saturday...so not only a crappy weekend but would ruin my whole week till the next saturday...

OH believe me when I say they DO celebrate Thanksgiving...One thursday in the 4th week of November I'm invited to dinner at a pioneer sisters house with her family and some of the friends from the hall. Well I'm thinking I do have the rest of the week off from work why not...Now I had spurned my worldly families requests to attend thanksgiving dinner for years telling them how it would displease Jehovah to celebrate worldly holidays...
I arrive at the pioneers house for dinner **did I mention it was on the 4th thursday in November** I walk into the house and what I see but a full on decked out THANKSGIVING dinner, turkey, mashed potatoes cranberry sauce the whole 9 yards...I was stunned and shocked but I did not leave and felt such the fool when I left...

Friedman's "Who really wrote the bible"
by bohm inyesterday i began reading friedmans "who really wrote the bible" and it is a deeply satisfying experience.
i was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the book, in particular, i am very interested in how it conflict with the typical wt explanation of how the bible came to be (which i find very confusing; i think its very hard to figure out how, exactly, the wt view the history of this periode), how usefull it has been in terms of reasoning with jws, and experiences in general.. to kickstart, here is what the book has given me:.
i have generally looked at the bible in a way i now see as quite naive, namely as a collection of more or less conflicting stories that made very little sence.

Republican Vs Democrat
by Bangalore ina republican and a democrat were walking down the street when they came across a homeless person.. the republican gave the homeless person his business card and told him come to his business for a job.
he then took twenty dollars out of his pocket and gave it to the homeless person.. the democrat was very impressed, and when they came to another homeless person, he decided to help.
he walked over to the homeless person and gave him directions to the welfare office.

Obama's post midterm election press conference was profound to me
by sabastious ini voted for the first time this last november 2nd.
it was a glorious day for me and a historical election.. after i voted i felt like i was standing up for what i believe in, and that's listening to the people.
because that's what voting is, the people's voice, and it can overturn the country.. it was such a stark contrast to what i am used to in the watchtower.

Good for you I remember the first time I voted after leaving never felt better. At least when we vote we have the right to complain...

I was born and raised in California Mr. Flipper and saw this coming decades ago. I hope for the sake of my beloved California he can but I don't see how. It is a failed socialist experiment. The only difference between California and the Feds is they can't print money...
