Greetings, fellow book nerd! I have searched and searched for a fellow nerd to share my book opinions with! Sadly, most of my reading revolves around
1. Stephen King
2. Mr. King
3. Did I mention Stephen King?

But really, his books did have a slight impact... I now can only read his books... noone else compares!

I'm reading C of C right now, thanx to lilacs, and it is having an impact. I now can understand, without the shadow of a doubt, that JW isn't the troof, whatever you want to call it.

Usage of the internet

by joelbear in

most people use the internet for two main purposes.. 1. to gather information, both factual and editorial, on subjects that they have an interest in or a need for.. 2. to communicate with other people that have similar interest in topics they have an interest in, in order to exchange information on a one to one basic.

this is done through instant message, emails, discussion forums and chat rooms.. both of these purposes could also be fulfilled through offline activities and most people use both sources to meet their needs.. then, there are people who use the internet to invade other people's personal space by purposely disrupting discussion forums or chat rooms.

some of these people go further by sending unwanted email and/or instant messages.. these people also typically engage in antisocial behavior just as name calling, threats and insults and also very typically braggadocio.

Does looking at pictures of... questionable... human... anatomy count?

Do you still think like a witness.

one of my customers asked me today whether i celebrate christmas and birthdays almost automaticly i was about to say no.. then i realised i'm not a witness anymore.. i didn't really want to go into a conversaion so i just said those things didn't bother me.. so what things are here stuck in our minds like that ,that are hard to get rid of?.

do you sill have a feeling arrmagddon might come , even though you don't mentally bleive it ,does it still effect you?.

have you realised yet that you are not going to live forever and in fact you will die?.

mindfield

On the Christmas matter, I have to agree with you, I'm not pro or anti-Christmas. It just doesn't bother me. Live and let live, and as for me, I'll just go along with whatever my family does, that is, not celebrate it.

Armageddon doesn't bother me anymore... we're all going to die, armageddon or not, c'est la vie. As far as I know, death doesn't have any psychological hold on me. Maybe on a subconscious level, probably all of us have it on a subconscious level, but it's not a thought that recurs often.

Omission of truth=LIE #2

do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved?.

many millions who have lived in centuries past and who were not jehovah's witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life.

mindfield

LOL! They actually did lie in that one. With no omission.

Many millions who have lived in centuries past and who were not Jehovah's Witnesses will come back in a resurrection and have an opportunity for life.

In other words, if you didn't get a visit from us, you may still have a chance. And a better one yet:

now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before God's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation.

Which means, some will convert to JWism just before the end. The others, well, you know the rest. The rest of the paragraph is just nonsensical nonsense which has nothing to do with the question itself.

What if?- A sobering Thought!

has anyone ever pondered over the two scripture's at matthew 25: 31, 32 and daniel 12:1?

the first tells us that the son of man is "sitting down" ... and that then a "separating" work begins.

then in daniel 12:1 it tells us that when michael "stands up" a great time of trouble ensues.. do you think it's possible he is not yet "standing up?

I'm with andi here... I'm not perfect (or am I?...) and I make mistakes, but I try as most as I can not to do anything irreversebly idiotic, hurtful, etc.

Also, I haven't killed anyone... yet...

What's a guy like him doing an ad like that?

Although he did play an excellent role in Naked Gun... okay, forget it... OJ is an excellent actor and individual. I rest my case.
