within a few weeks i leased a condo on the banks of the willamette river just out side the city of portland.
as she got into her car she looked at me funny again, laughed and just shook her head.. .
i told him that if i said i was sorry, i knew that is what they wanted to hear but it was not the truth.
Honest to goodness, Dave....this is absolutely the best Exodus from the Borg story I've ever read....Good on ya.....almost peed my pants during the "Sexy Harlot/Dancing" episode....Kudos to ya! Idnit great to just feel free to breathe again?

who is willing to harm another person in order to get what they want?
Yes.
i had to share this..
an elder dropped off some material he printed out to encourage me.....i don't think he read it himself....in discussions i have continually pointed out the reason why i have doubts is because i've read most of the publications from the late 1800's right through the glory years 1914 to 1942 and lost faith due to seeing the repeated changes and false predictions made by russell and rutherford.
why would god tell rutherford to name anything after him and reveal complex bible passages which are still hotly debated by many scholars while allowing him to teach and mislead thousands under that same banner of truth.
Doubt is bad only when you're a JW....and to them, it's ALWAYS bad.....

a man decided that he was going to ride a 10-speed bike from phoenix to flagstaff.
he got as far as black canyon city before the mountains became too much and he could go no farther.. he stuck his thumb out and for three hours he hadn't gotten a single person to stop.
finally, a guy in a corvette pulled over and offered him a ride.
LOL, Ken! Kinda reminds me of this one:
THE MOPED VS. THE FERRARI!
A hip young man goes out and buys the best car available: a 1997 Ferrari GTO. It is also most expensive car in the world, and it costs him $500,000.
He takes it out for a spin and stops for a red light. An old man on a moped (both looking about 90 years old) pulls up next to him. The old man looks over at the sleek, shiny car and asks, "What kind of car ya' got there, sonny?"
The young man replies, "A 1997 Ferrari GTO, it cost half a million dollars!"
"That's a lot of money" says the old man. "Why does it cost so much?"
"Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour!" states the young man proudly.
The moped driver asks, "Mind if I take a look inside?"
"No problem," replies the owner.
So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his moped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car, all right!"
Just then the light changes so the guy decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds the speedometer reads 320 mph.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer! He slows down to see what it could be and suddenly, whhoooossshhh! Something whips by him, going much faster!
"What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?!" the young man asks himself.
Then, ahead of him, he sees a dot coming toward him. Whoooooosh! It goes by again, heading the opposite direction! And it looked like the old man on the moped!
"Couldn't be!" thinks the guy. "How could a moped outrun a Ferrari?!"
But again, he sees a dot in his rear view mirror! Whooooosh and KablaMMM!
It plows into the back of his car, demolishing the rear end. The young man jumps out, and it IS the old man!!! He runs up to the mangled old man and says, "Omigosh! Is there anything I can do for you?"
The old man whispers in a raspy breath, "Unhook...my suspenders...from your side-view mirror..."

if you had your whole adult life ahead of you, what career would you choose to pursue and why?.
i'd choose marine biologist or scientific research.....because i wouldn't hafta deal so much with people's attitudes, marine life is beautiful and fun, science of this planet is interesting....it *can* be a lucrative field, depending on which aspect of it i choose to pursue.... frannie b
Maybe I'll help the poor, get an S.T.D (Doctors of Sacred Theology, not the other kind) Maybe in 10 years Rev. Dr. Ignorance is Strength will be on this board
That is too KEWL, Iggie! Let us know what you decide...

jw's can be rotten, but what about the "brutally honest" jw strangers at assemblies?
i have had some issues with the general meaness jw's are to people that they do not even know, and are jw's.. example 1: i was maybe 13 years old and i was a fast developer, i had big boobs basically.
well a dress i had was really nice...my parents would not have let me wear something that was not apprepriate for me, but i guess the dress was low (i didn't think so) and when i was in the bathroom at the assembly at the mirror, a woman just came up to me and was like "you are showing all the assets you have to offer" or something to that effect.
Sorry to hear about that ol' "green-eyed" jealousy gettin in your face, jwbot...it wasn't anything but pure jealousy, for sure....
But, yes, an elder DID say and do something very mean, both to us and to a pair of elderly, physically challenged sisters during an assembly one time.....my children and I were seated in the elderly/handicapped section with two elderly/physically challenged sisters we had provided transportation and rooms for....we were seated with them in the section so we could help them get up and down the stairs to the bathroom and fetch their food and any publications they chose to buy.....an elder came and ran us out....would NOT allow nor listen to any reasoning as to why we were in that section to assist those sisters....I hated his guts for that.....

Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.
This is especially true of the WT-BATS publications, since they contain so much wavering "light"....their words have become "like nails driven in"....into their coffins.

i was reading a book on celtic beliefs.
and as the western beliefs have the zodiac; and the asians have the 12 animals who came to buddha, so the celts believe different trees represent basic characteristics in humans.. so ok which kind of tree would you be ?
i would be an oak.
A rose bush.....I'm scared of heights, but I like to smell nice and I'm kinda thorny...
