  i haven't read a good book in a long time and i'd like to get into reading again.

  i'm not into autobiographies or sports books.

  Funeral for an atheist

  by Stealth in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.

  the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.

  if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

  Michael Brown verdict discussion policy - take II

  by Simon in

  i had originally thought that making the rules clear about what was and wasn't going to be allowed when discussing the michael brown verdict that we'd be able to avoid some of the unpleasantness that surrounded the subsequent trayvon martin trial discussions.. michael brown verdict discussion policy.

  i had hoped that once the evidence came out there would not be as many people promoting opinions that contradicted it.

  unfortunately, that appears to have been naive of me.

  Working on Thanksgiving

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  every year now, we all get story after story of the cruel practive of taking people away to work on thanksgiving.

  while i was not raised to celebrate the holiday, and even after taking it on, i still see it as a dinner and at best a few friends and family members eating together.

  yet for most americans, it is not really that big of a deal to work on thanksgiving.

  Michael Brown verdict discussion policy

  by Simon in

  1. forum

  it's likely that the grand jury verdict on the michael brown incident will be released in the coming days or weeks.. i've no doubt many people are going to feel strongly about things whatever the verdict is.. whatever the outcome though, here's what's not going to happen:.

  we're not going to put up with inflamatory language and comments designed to rile others up.

  be respectful.. we will not allow accusations of racism simply because some have a view of the verdict that contradicts others.. there will not be invented evidence or claims being repeated - if it's been falsely reported or debunked then it's off limits.. it's not going to be an opportunity for people to air past gripes over past discussions.. if you feel that you cannot discuss the subject in a rational way then it may be better to simply avoid any topics on the matter.. please try to be objective and respectful if you do decide to comment and not keen to take offense.
