I'd like to nominate whoever invented Hommous - never was a chickpea so delightfully rendered so as to cause exquisite delight to the tongue in its creamy texture and palate in its intricate notes. I declare it is delicious and its all over my salad right now. YUM!

Whoever invented chocolate is "da bomb" in my world!!

Oh, YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Those are definite ..........though not necessarily together, mind you.

AHA! and now we know what Richie has up his "sleeve" without having to peep!

NEED HELP: What's wrong with CURRENT Borg policy on molestation?

by Open mind in

ok, first off, please don't shoot the messenger here.

the dateline show on jws hiding pedophiles was one of several "defining moments" in my process of questioning "the truth".

it disgusted me.

Thoughts on the "two-witness" rule. I think the best way to broach this to my wife would be the: "What if it was XXXXXX (our child)?" approach. See what you think of this possible dialogue:

Me: Man, I can't imagine how difficult it would be to know that "Brother" Scum-of-the-earth who raped our child is still in good standing in the congregation. I don't see why the organization doesn't just come forward with whatever they have on the guy and volunteer it to the authorities. Instead, we're going to have to make our child go through a bunch of interrogations in order to "maybe" get the DA to try and subpoena congregation files. If the organization really cares about our child, why aren't they more proactive?

How's that sound Frannie?

Excellent idea, Open Mind. There's nothing better to get the point across than to put their feet in the shoes of the victims or portraying someone near and dear as a potential victim.

I see there's a lot of other great ideas here, too. Bravo, one and all!!!

She deserves to be celebrated, and I may just have to do that.......She'd kick me in the arse if I didn't....And believe me, she could still reach this far!!!!

Well, do raise a cup or more in celebration to her life as a wonderful person to you, Shell.

backstory:.

i work part time as a "body adornment specialist" which essentially means i'm a body piercer.

i work at a shop that is owned and operated by someone who is a fairly big deal in the body modification industry.

nothing says rebellion like a little metal in your pants.

I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants.

LOL, Richie! This reminds me of the comment in the Letter to Proctor & Gamble that Scully posted! Too funny!!!

I LEARNT TO SWIM!

i write this in the hope that it encourages others.

one never is too old to learn anything or overcome a fear!.

for many years i was absolutely terrified of water.

Thank you so much for sharing your swimming experiences with us, Ian. I still can't swim on the "front" as you say you couldn't before. At least I finally learned to crochet at age 38 after failing for 26 yrs.

And congratulations on overcoming your fear and succeeding at swimming!!!

WILDFIRE IS BACK IN THE SADDLE...

by wildfire in

hi gang , its good to be back ...........i have gone through 2 years of captivity ,,i have been out of the jws since 2002, i moved to austin ,,texas in 2004.. i even had the priviledge of attending a true dallas apostofest,which i will never forget..met alot of great apostates..

but for 2years i have been in a tailspin..last april my 20yr old jehovah witness daughter got married in minnesota.

oh ya i was invited, only to the wedding which was not held in a kingdom hall (because of me iam sure)..my son who was never baptized came allthe way from florida to his little sisters wedding, only to be treated like he was da or df..we were not allowed at the reception and the only pictures i got were from my other daughter who (she was studying at the time so she was allowed to stay for all the festivities..) so me and my son decided to do what any out cast would do...went drinking and checking out the quaint little town that night...had a blast...they had not won ,,i was down but not out...haha

Frannie Banannie

having depression and dealing with depressing events over and over can and does take its toll....but since I live in the MUSIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD...I make full use of the nitelife and musicians ...We just ended an event called south by southwest which is about films, and musicians who come to play from all over the world...My friend and I volunteered our services so we could get in free to the venues and lordy did we have a blast... free parties..free booze and all the debauchery two single girls could handle...wow sounds like my last apostofest in 2004... thanks again,,

I know it does, ((((((WildFire))))) But it sounds like you've been at least making a dent in it, eh? Just remember, while partyin' stops, even temporarily, you are a precious party unto yourself, chere!!

Have a fiery bouquet

and some chocolates

Cheers!
