In Canada it will be just the opposite. The men will circle the block naked and the women will drink beer on the lawn.
Is it too late to go to Canada?
i just recieved this in an e-mail-.
mark your calendars for saturday.
as you may already know, it is a sin for a taliban male to see any woman other than his wife naked, and that he must commit suicide if he does.

(while this article was originally written for psychotherapists working with ex-fundamentalists, it should be helpful for anyone who has been involved with a restrictive religious group.
Thanks for puttin' this up Frannie. I'm going to print out a copy for when I go to Seattle next week and meet with a psychiatrist.
Althought I have other issues, this JW stuff adds an interesting dimension of it's own.
So, I'm off to have my psyche decompiled, reverse-engeneared, analyzed, and rebuilt from the ground up. (If it were only THAT easy.)
Thanks,
Nate

p.s. I am SO sleep deprived that I have this fascinating 'detachment' feeling going on...almost feels like a buzz
i have a young man emailing me.
he is a mormon.
at first he emailed to me because he found my cousin's story on randy watter's website and my email addy is in the story.
an Oxy-mormon
--Jumping up and down excitedly like on The Price Is Right-- "I want one. I want one."
Tell him if he doesn't back off, you'll give his email addy to me. And then I'll make him my bitch.
i was going through some photo's today and i came across this one, the scene is poland, world war ii, it is my grandma getting married to my grandfather who was killed shortly afterward.. i often look at old pictures to get a perspective of who i am and where i come from, my life exists because of wars, and it is because of those wars that i have so few blood relations, and those i did have i never knew, like i never knew my father, he never knew his father, my mother never knew her father and the only person who knows anything at all is my grandma, because grandmas know everything.
no uncles, no aunts, stepfathers going back generations... sometimes i just look at photos and wonder.. i can see in the faces that i share the same blood as these people, i just sometimes wish i knew them.. .
anyone else got any old photo's the feel like sharing?
Nice thread topic dh.
This is a photo of my great grandmother Ann after her confirmation (Lutheran)
I don't remember all the details, but this was close to around 1910, she was 14 (??). She died the spring of 1996 which put her at 101 and a few monthes. Huge family. HUGE. She was first or second of fourteen children. Most I have never met. Mainly in parts of Wisconsin; Rhinelander and Pelican Lake. Her full name was Anna Maria Magdalene Buckholtz Müller, during WW I, the entire family changed the name to Miller. This photo is all I have of her.

Is the Work of Jehovah's Witnesses Propagandistic?
Some opponents of Jehovah's Witnesses have accused them of spreading Zionist propaganda. Others have charged that the ministry of the Witnesses promotes Communism. Still others have claimed that the work of Jehovah's Witnesses promotes the ideals and interests of "American imperialism." And there are those who assert that the Witnesses are anarchists, fomenting disorder with the aim of changing the social, economic, political, or legal order. Obviously, these conflicting accusations cannot all be true.
The simple fact is that Jehovah's Witnesses are none of the above. The work of the Witnesses is carried out in faithful obedience to Jesus Christ's mandate to his disciples: "You will be witnesses of me . . . to the most distant part of the earth." (Acts 1:8) Their work focuses solely and exclusively on the good news of the heavenly Kingdom—God's instrument for bringing peace to the whole earth.—Matthew 6:10; 24:14.
Observers of Jehovah's Witnesses have found no evidence that this Christian community has ever been a force disruptive of the good order of any land.Is the false argument being used here Red Herring or Straw Man or a mix of both? Not that it matters. I had a funky day and seeing this set me off. I'm now going to go memorize phone numbers from the phone book and count toothpicks.
just recently, i have come out of the utility room.
it's kinda like coming out of the closet, but not quite as serious.
you see, the utility room is the straight man's closet, cause there are tools in there and stuff.. you see, lately, i have for some reason become interested in men.
We just want to treat ourselves well and feel good about ourselves! We know this cheer is a little long, but there is nothing that rhymes well with metro !"
And to do that you need a lable? Metrosexual...hmmm? Sounds kinda "gay" to me.
We use lables for the purpose of understanding something, but to give a thing or person a lable can be very limiting; to that which is labled or the one doing the labling.
So you're treating your mind and body well. Good for you. Keep it up. I'm doing some of the same.
I really liked dh's response to this thread.
Dude, I hope you see I'm not picking at you, just lables.
ok... as the title states... i usually see these threads as the author being really up themselves, but something just occured to me, and i would like an opinion.. those who have seen me in chat / pm'ed me / read enough of my posts have seen me joke around.
i flirt (with members of the opposite sex, and the same sex), play around, mock people, once in a while get depressed... etc etc.... but... in real life i am so different than all this.
i am a loving husband (very straight) and step father at 21 years of age.
Nina, that is an interesting idea. I am currently reading some of the works of Jung, and his Shadow material concept fascinates me. So this is one possible area to bring our shadow selves to life? Maybe.
