Should the age of consent for sexual acts be changed?

by RubyTuesday in

this woman seems to think so.pretty scary who is controlling our laws..wouldn't you say?

june 14: avowed feminist and aclu activist ruth bader ginsberg was appointed to be an associate justice on the supreme court.

based on a report she co-authored and on her previous decisions, these are some of the positions she has expressed in the past.

Would this law(s) mean that you could get a 12 year old prostitute legally?

Do you still preach?

by Theocrat in

jw
friends

many here are not jehovah's witnesses anymore because of one reason or another, but do you still preach?

do you still think that it is important for a christian to preach?

just wondering.

Atilla

Thanks to some witnesses taking the time AND assistance, we have pulled ourselves out of poverty. They were the only ones who NEVER looked down their noses at us in our raggety clothes.

AFIN,

What you say above is great but a little good doesn't excuse a lot of bad things that JW's have done. Also, you have set yourself up as boob, most likely to be indebted forever due to the JW's spiritual and material assistance. Also, could you go to the meeting in those raggety clothes, have parts or give answers in those same clothes. Maybe for the the first month, but after that they would probably drag you to Goodwill to pick out some nice used dress clothes.

Do You Think George W. Bush Will Be Re-elected??

by minimus in

i do.

but i also thought, nixon, reagan and clinton were going to get re-elected.

Atilla

It could be very close and anything could happen between now and November. I actually just read an article in the Washington Post about the possibility of Bush winning the popular vote this time but losing the electoral college vote. Now, wouldn't that be ironic.

I did it!!!

well, this week i become a college graduate.

thanks for all those who offered encouragement over the years.

it meant a lot to me.

Atilla

Good job and congatulations. Although, frankly the typical 4 year college BA degree is almost becoming like a High School Diploma. You definately need your masters and I know some people who are going for 2 doctorates. Well anyways, not trying to depress everyone, you have come a long way, enjoy it. I myself will graduate to become a teacher in less than 2 years and I plan a big party. I'm thinking about sending out invitatations to my graduation to some of my old witness friends who are my age. Maybe they will get the point then again do I really want these people at my graduation. However, I doubt anyone would show up.

Call me crazy, but I kinda liked it when ELF members were burning all those Hummer dealerships. The Hummers make it less safe for other vehicle traffic on the road and they drive up the price of gasoline with their bad MPG. So, while not officially endorsing them, there are better ways to achieve your goals, I say burn baby burn. Plus, anyone I see driving a hummer, I always give them a pissed off look followed by the finger, who the hell do they think they are besides rich or credit stretched?

Why men are happier...

your last name stays put.

the garage is all yours.

chocolate is just another snack.

You can wear NO T-shirt to a water park.

Actually, I almost got thrown out of a park for wearing no T-shirt, and no I'm not a woman. It was Hershey Park here in PA, and I ended up getting into a big argument with a security guard who insisted I put my shirt back on.

Favorite Scripture? Here's mine...

by confusedjw in

do you have a favorite scripture?

mine is ecc 7:3 "better is vexation than laughter, for by the crossness of the face the heart becomes better.

ever realize you are a certain way and it just makes your face cringe?

Atilla

Ok, not my favorite but about the only one I can remember because it was pounded into my head so many times-Ps. 83:18 To this day, when I'm traveling or when I run across a Bible, I still look up that scripture to see if "god's Name is there." I know, I'm such a loser.

My ex-JW girlfriend is getting married.

by Atilla in

jw
friends

yep, i just found out not too long ago although not directly.

my parents were actually invited but i guess my invitation got lost in the mail.

the funny thing is that she is going to marry a guy from grenada in grenada.

Atilla

Yep, I just found out not too long ago although not directly. My parents were actually invited but I guess my invitation got lost in the mail. The funny thing is that she is going to marry a guy from Grenada in Grenada. I guess she went there on a vacation to visit some old friends from the U.S. and then met her guy. I must admit that I did kinda screw her over 3 years ago when I left the Org. It was really out of my hands though because after an elders meeting, her dad, also an elder came up to me and told me I could no longer see his daughter. I was considered "bad" because I was moving out into an apartment with this girl from work. However, there really was no other option at the time for me, unless I wanted to live with my parents forever.

Well, my parents will obviously not be going to the wedding because they wouldn't go to a wedding across town let alone one in another country. I was thinking about emailing the girl and saying congratulations or something like that, it all depends. I hope her marriage goes all right but she is probably getting married to someone from Grenada because there aren't very many JW guys here in PA. I know a lot of JW girls who get married to guys from other countries because choices here are very limited. I mentioned to my parents that I might contact my old girlfriend and my mom got real nervous, like ah, why would you want to do that? I guess my parents are afraid I would say something to shake things up or open people's eyes, who knows with them. Like I said, I really do hope the best for my ex-JW girlfriend but I have the feeling that a marriage like that is bound to have problems. What to do, what to do?

Undergoing Hypnosis

by dh in

jw
friends

.

having thought about it a few times and talked to another member here when i first joined, i think i would like to be hypnotised and asked some questions about things, life, previous life, early memories, repressed memories and a whole bunch of other stuff.

have any of you ever undergone this procedure or know anything about it, would you do it?

Atilla

All I know is that my school actually had a hypnotist come in for a school assembly, and of course I wasn't allowed to go, stuck in some study hall room for 2 hours. From what I hear, everyone had a good time, but you can never be too careful with the damn devil.

Why Hasnt America Been Attacked Again??

by ApagaLaLuz in

what is your opinion of this?

the us recently released a report stating that airport screeners are not doing their jobs correctly, and outlined which airports were the weakest.. .

do think the reason we have not had any new terrorist attacks since 2001 is because the government has beefed up homeland security?

Atilla

One thing has kept us safe and that is duct tape, we have lots of it, and since 9/11, we have gotten more duct tape than any other country in the whole world. Any organizatioin or country would be crazy to attack us, it would be suicide with all of our duct tape.

As far as the national political conventions this year, I'm not sure anyone would try to hit such a convention, even though it might be very attractable. I do wonder though if a attack were to occur, who would it help, Bush or Kerry. I think it could go both ways. People could be like, well Bush obviously isn't keeping us safe or they could get scared and say well an attack every 2 to 3 years isn't so bad, we'll stay with Bush. Hopefully we won't have to find out.
