You must however credit Derrick as an optimist. Good for you Derrick. So many who leave the borg become so dissatisfied it alters their outlook on the situation. Good luck, I'd like to hear how you make out.

Needless To Say...
by Derrick inyour harsh criticism of the watchtower is not helping matters.
instead of criticizing the problems, why not suggest solutions?.
this is pointless, provocative and designed to ignite a firestorm of followup attacks.... "the borg's disfellowship policies totally sux!!!!!".

What's sex?
by JH inimagine when the earthly resurrection will begin, and maybe 20 billion people who lived in the past will have a second chance to live eternally, but this time without sex (luke 20:35).
having to live an eternal life without having the passion of love, and no sex whatsoever.
how would you cope with this?

So not even masturbation? How about sodomy? (Intended for Ted Jaracz)---Is he in the clear?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that story is incorrect. I read on CNN.com that the gov't has since removed that sentence.
Second thing, Islam is not based on just the Old Testament. They are (or so believe) the descendants of Ishmael, the son by means of Abraham and Hagar. They also believe in Jesus as another prophet. Islam is merely a 'continuation' of God's Word. Now whether Islam is a evil religion, imho, can be debated until the end of time. Supposedly they are supposed to be peace-loving. If anyone wants a good book to read, try "Why I Am Not a Muslim" by Ibn Warraq. I couldn't put it down. It makes the current child abuse problem among dubs look like child's play. According to the Koran, Mohammed advocated sex with young boys. That's what Warraq says anyway. I'd hate to imagine God telling Mohammed that it's ok to sodomize young children. But hey, you decide....

Was Public Reproof Traumatic for You?
by zenpunk ini was reproved at the age of 17 and, believe me it was a nightmare at home.
first, my parents felt such shame over me - i was such an evil disappointment to them.
i would hear my mother talk on the phone to other sisters about how sad she was about the way i had turned out.

I had the same exact experience zen...Got totally shitfaced at 18...somehow the elders found out about it...my future brother-in-law was removed from being a m.s., I got taken off the mikes...my parents were so ashamed of me. I remember going out in service the following saturday and just hung my head in shame while we were on a coffee break, while my parents tried to maintain composure during a conversation with other dubs that were there. I know it sucks. Try not to let it get to you.
You know what tho? It was one of the best things that happened to me! A little pain to help you see the light is not so bad...

Composite Sign
by JH instudying with the witnesses 15 years ago, i was told that all the signs that jesus gave (earthquakes, wars, pestilence, and so on) would all occur in one generations time.
that was the composite sign, that all happens in 1 generation.
they said there were earthquakes thousands of years ago, wars thousands of years ago, famines thousands of years ago, but that wasnt the sign of jesus.

I think every generation thinks they're the last. Everyone in history can point to 'composite signs'...

Where Have All The Pretty Women Gone?
by Englishman into explain: i recall in the 60's and 70's driving down portsmouths commercial road during a lunch time.
in the summer, there would be dozens of pretty girls strolling along, enjoying their lunch breaks.. high-heeled, well groomed and shapely of leg and well turned ankle, these delightful creatures smelled as good as they looked and were a real tonic to an over worked young man such as me.. so where are all the pretty women now?
all i see these days are skinny women with their boobies pushed up to their chins and half a pound of shrapnel punched through their noses and ears.
