I preached the 'truth' to an active JW, her jaw is still on the ground!
by BLISSISIGNORANCE inwell, the best thing about being a fader is that you can still talk to dubs you meet.
they think they can us the contact to upbuild you and you use it to plant the seeds of 'truth' which is what i did in this situation.. last week when i was at the markets i saw a sister shopping and although i normally avoid dubs, i didn't this time.
i said hello and she was very happy to speak to me.

I can only choose one thing?
In that case, I choose the Faithful & Discreet Slave. They make me want to vomit. They sit up there in their tower in Brooklyn, making decisions for millions of people, and enforcing those decisions through their legions of minions (aka BOE) around the world. Mind you, that doesn't mean that when a decision has been made, it's final; oh, no, there's always new light and another pendulum swing on key issues. They have got such nerve; one would almost think that they have a pact to see how many wild variations the great crowd will accept before they finally crack. Bastards!!

I particularly love the Jesus emails that try to guilt you into forwarding it on; the ones that say, "Every day we forward jokes and similar emails without thinking twice; yet when we get emails of a spiritual nature, we often hesitate before sending them."
Well, no hesitation here; I delete them immediately!

Has anyone seen this movie? It's a few years old, early 1999. It has Bruce Willis, Denzel Washington and Annette Bening.
An attack on FBI headquarters brings a state of martial law to NYC; the military is called in to police the city. Arab-Americans are rounded up and confined to football fields until the attackers can be found.
At the time, I remember watching it and feeling that it was soooo far out there, such treatment of ethnic groups would never happen in America. (Granted I was a few years younger then too) In fact, I forgot almost completely about the movie for a couple of years; until events of the two or so years brought it back to my consciousness. I'm now struck by the realization that it no longer seems unfathomable, but rather entirely possible.
If anything, it's already happening; not just to a particular group, but thanks to the Patriot Act, it could happen to any American. Perhaps not in a literal sense of being rounded up into groups; but certainly in the sense of targeting certain ethnic groups for heightened surveillance.
Is anyone else scared by where this is heading? -

Well, I also agree wholeheartedly with the distinction between religion and spirituality; IMNSHO, I believe the two have little, if anything, to do with each other.
Jim, I liked that quote too.
Here's another one I like: "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
