sorry I can't be at apostfest
by ballistic insorry i can't be at the apostfest.
i really wanted to go, but i'm not only working but as you can see from my other thread, i am avoiding all pubs, beer, smoke and anything which may cause me to start smoking again.
(sorry - i don't mean you guys are all smoking piss heads) - i just think a weekend away from my high intensity self control would not be good.

Drama's and JW acting skills
by sleepy init nice to be entertained by a good tv programme or film.but there is some terrible rubbish produced also.. but nothing can prepare a person for the atrocity that is the convention drama!.
it would first be hyped up by the chair man at the begining of the assembley as a highlight to be looked forward to.often it was a high- light for very different reasons.. first of all you need to know that in britian they use the american duved vioces in the drama.. now theres nothing wrong with american voices , i'm sure you all sound lovley , but this is britian we do not have american accents.. we do not use all of the same words.
and unfortunatly this is american acting at its worst.. the result is an embarassing soap opera style dialogue that at my local convetion was heared all over the city centre , as our assembly was in a open air sports stadium right in the middle of town.. yes i can hear it in my head now the corny voices of moses , pharoh , jesabel.i can see the arms of the actors waving franticly in the air the gross over gesturing and parading of the cast.. and the names "randy , do-you-not-know gawd (hands in the air)hates.

Are you really ready for big moral issues?
by Mindchild inwhile reading the abortion thread on this site today, i was reminded of a college class i took on dealing with ethical and moral issues.
i learned something interesting in this class and it was that just because we have strong beliefs about something, it doesn't give us any rights to impose our beliefs on others.. this is of course the "christian" way...to demand that their beliefs should be the standard by which we all live our lives.
this intolerance, or in milder cases disgust for nonconformers, is in itself one of the huge moral issues we face.. essentially, regardless of things being right or wrong, our world defines societal norms by community standards.

Define spirituality
by sleepy indefine spirituality if you can.. what does the society mean when they talk of being spiritual?.
all i could figure out is just someone who follows the rules.. so if there is no god is spirituality meaning less or something still desirable?

Amish and shunning
by gambler ini just did some research on the amish and found out an interesting fact.shunning created the amish.a group of people broke away from the mennonites in germany because the mennonites would not suport the shunning doctrine.these people became the amish.as a side note, do you guys remember the 60 minutes that delt with shunning.they had amish and jw teenagers that were shunned by their parents because the wanted out of their religion.
