My Partner and I have been together for 10 years today!
by ohiocowboy ini am very proud that we have been together for 10 years!
being raised a jw, it was always hard for me to find a long term relationship.
most people that i met weren't interested in anything long term, and each time one ended, it left me feeling like i would never find someone who shared the same feelings.

JWs and medical marijuana

I would like to thank all of you...
by sooner7nc in...for helping me see the light.. in 2008 i voted for the first time ever.
i voted for obama for president because i truly believed he and biden were a better choice to lead america than anybody running with sarah palin.
she scared me and still does even though i respect and admire john mccain.. being in texas and enjoying our relatively strong local economy i voted for rick perry to remain as governor and voted a mix of republican, democrat, and one libertarian for the other state and local positions that were up for election.

Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW
by RayPublisher inthe matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?
", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".
shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

Wow! Jah really answered her prayers! Unfortunately for every story like this, there are 50 stories where Jah decides not to intervene and people either have to quit their job to pioneer or attend the Friday sessions of the convention, or they have to forgo those things and keep their jobs. I wonder how Jah chooses who's prayers to answer and who's not to answer?
Well said!

No I don't. First off to me, institutionalized racism is what existed before Dr. King, where state mandated racism was allowed and went largly unchecked. Moving the present time though - in any level or institution in the country including law enforcement there are people of all races working in them creating a balancing effect, so to say there is "institutionalized racism" is just ignoring facts. It doesn't matter what color your skin is you can go as far as you want in this country. I've traveled to other countries and most people don't realize how good they have it here.
I agree 100%, racism/prejudice will probably always exist in the minds of some in any mixed society, and hispanics have had their share of it too like so many others. If people don't like you because of your race - oh well; you can't police thoughts/feelings and that is the price of freedom; as long as they don't interfere with your rights there is no problem. Each person can go on living their life and the haters can get over it or they won't thrive in a diverse and modern society. We all know it exists, but hopefully as the years pass we can let the scars of the past heal and just be Americans.
Does that mean that it's good and productive to fan the flames of racial divisivness (as Sharpton & co have done) when it's really not neccessary? I submit absolutely not; it doesn't serve any purpose except to divide people, open up old wounds and keep the problem perpetuating. The more the younger generations are whipped up into a frenzy of hatred, like in the Martin case the more it keeps the problem alive and growing. I still have not heard one convincing argument or seen any evidence that convinces me that the events leading up to this murder had anything to do with racism. Yet instead of calming things down on that front they just double and triple down on the charge of racism as the cause to save face, which is disgusting.

Things are not always black and white. I'm of hispanic descent btw, and I've already spent a great deal of time thinking about the tragedy of Trayvon being killed - thank you very much. The only distraction here is this poor boy and his family are being cashed in for cheap political points for the illusion of justice, and futhermore I don't believe there is "institutional racism" as you so bluntly put it, in this great country of ours. Take your pick of the dozens of countries on the face of this earth you can live where there is real "institutional racism". Whether you like it or not the U.S. (although far from perfect) is the beacon of freedom and opportunity for people of any race.

LOL - Yeah he probably agreed to it so he would have one less day per week to endure the daily trauma of those horrible WTS inspired fashions.

My son was murdered today
by truman ini have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.
i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.
maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

I'm so sorry to hear that, it sounds like your son was a good person and certainly did not deserve this; surely he will be missed greatly. Hopefully you have many good memories of him that you can cherish. I could not even begin to relate to what you must be feeling right now, but If it helps feel free to share some of your feelings and happy memories of your son with us; talking about it hopefully may help you cope with this tragedy a little. Please accept my deepest sympathies and condolences and a hug.

I'm not sure if it was the parents that called Sharpton & co in the first place; but if it was I bet that is probably one of their biggest regrets in this whole tragedy. Sharpton never did aplologize over the Duke Lacrosse false accusations he made did he? What a nice guy...
