there was a time we could laugh about mindless silly things.
someone using an ethnic accent, making fun of their own race, making fun of someone’s intelligent, etc.
we could laugh without feeling constantly offended , upset or disturbed.
If you like comedy come to Jamestown Ny and visit the National Comedy Club. It's a state of the art place. Some of the biggest performers in comedy have performed their. If you come in the summer on Saturday just around the corner is the Farmers market where you can stop by are booth and say hi.
Comedy usually shows the mood the nation is in for it's time period. Some is funny and some is not. Still Totally ADD
some democrats are zealously pushing the impeachment route to get rid of trump.
even if you don’t like him, do you support impeachment proceedings?.
Minimus you make me laugh saying the Dem. manipulate the electorate by using impeachment. They are no diffrent that what the Rep.have done in the past over a blow job. You guys really need to get another line of reasoning. The "We Are Right" mentality will be the end of all us all. Because it will turn into WAR and I hope this is something none of us want to see.

We are now in the twilight zone. You all have fun trying to convince yourself that trump is a great guy. Yes he needs to be impeached. Still Totally ADD
hi from new south wales australia.
fyi , it's tuesday 10th september 2:36am here.. i am categorically not going to blame the cult for every poor choice.
i am conscious of the fact that i was at a genetically determined disadvantage academically; i was never going to be outstanding in my achievements, no matter how hard i tried.
A big welcome Ray to this board. Your story really rings true for me in so many ways. I must say if it was not for the cult my parents would have divorced before I ever started school. They needed structure and the cult gave them that. With that said everything else about it really sucked. Looking forward to read more of your experiences. Take care. Still Totally ADD
born into a strong jw family in the early 80s.
my father died when i was 4 and that left a huge emotional scar on my tender mind.
with my mother, i went to live with family members and was sexually abused between 4 and 10. he was an ms but when elders later found out, all that happened was he got his privileges removed.
GMOOH welcome. Such a sad story you just told us. As a survivor myself of sexual abuse I feel for you brother. I would suggest if you have not yet done it is to get some professional help. You owe it to yourself and your family. Please remember none of this was your fault but as a adult you have have the opportunity to take care of yourself. Just like many here you are also a survivor of the horrible abuse this cult caused. So happy you have found us and are looking forward to seeing more comments from you and how you are coping. Take care and again welcome. Still Totally ADD
i was wondering how many of us have switched to a vegetarian or vegan diet and why.
i'm not doing it but have friends who do.
lovely people and seem very healthy.
I went vegetarian march of 2017. Lost 40 lbs. and went off 3 medications and feeling 1000's times better. My wife is a great cook and we eat alot of our food from the garden. She does a vegetarian hamburger that will knock your socks off. One of the big secrets is spices and lots of hot peppers. I grow 5 diffrent kinds. Any rate its not that my food has a face it is because it makes me feel healthier eating a whole food plant base diet. Still Totally ADD
as an ex-jw recovering for cult indoctrination and paranoia there are a few things that make us realise how far we've come.. eating black pudding.
smoking a joint.
sleeping with someone on a first date.
As a born-in I lived a life of horror. I don't need to see fake horror movies. To much complex PTSD or it may be the fact I just don't like horror movies. Still Totally ADD
i’ve been out for many many years.
i still like to know the latest jw news although i find myself not as excited by things..
Being out for over 8 years now with a son and family that are a year out I still have a interest in whats happening in the borg. My son is working with another x-jw on a facebook page. For me somedays I am interested and other days I am not. Like minimus I like hearing changes in their teachings, money grabbing and the how the law is closing in on them for child abuse.
Recently I am coming to terms with my background as a jw and I realize it will always be a part of me. So I am using the positive things from my experience. As they say try to make lemonade out of lemons. Still Totally ADD
president kennedy's brother robert excited the world as a candidate for president 5 years after jfk's murder.rfk, in turn, was murdered.the assassin's name was sirhan sirhan, he was palestinian.it just so happened the assassin's father, bishara, was a member in good standing as one of jehovah’s witnesses.so what?
so this:this seemingly innocent fact would jolt jehovah's witnesses into a near panic.
i know because i was there.here are the facts as i remember them.______the jehovah's witness, bishara sirhan unfortunately had a reputation in his neighborhood and community for being excitable, even volatile at times.
Thank you Terry for thr history of the wt. A history most jw's don't know. Many question I have had answered by your review. Great job. Still Totally ADD
