beware of the 'voice of strangers'.... .

...unless she has a sexy voice, her phone number starts with 1-900, and it costs you $4.00 a minute to talk to her .

seriously, has anyone every called '900' numbers or the like for umm, the entertainment value?

Actually, my favorite was that Jamaican psychic -- loved her accent!

What ever happend to her and all of the rest of those Psychic folks?

She was found out to be a fraud. She isn't Jamaican. You also dont get to talk to her. If you talk for hours and hours then finally you might get to talk to her. It turns out she is from LA. She was prosecuted in California and I am not sure of the specific charges but she was found guilty and her enterprise was taken down.
She was used as a voice actor in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She played a Haitian cocaine Gang queen.

Young People Ask: What is the age of maturity?
by Nosferatu in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in the book "your youth: getting the best out of it", it suggests that people not date until they reach maturity, which is usually in a person's early twenties.

was this enforced at your kingdom hall, or were there jws openly dating younger than 20 (not in secret)?
FirstInLine

You cannot reach maturity until you reject a bunch of morons that say you must allow them to control everything you do to ridiculous degrees.

i saw the ad blondie was talking about in one of her posts.

i, along with all my kids were quite surprised the society was taking this pr road.

anyway, the ad depicted a young girl chatting on line with what she thought was another teen (boy).

Ferris Bueler was a failed attempt at a show back in like 94 i think.
But I remember 95 was the last time I heard a teenager use the term coolness. It was the only time I ever heard a teenager use the term coolness.
Well here is the story. This one "punk" guy was standing around me in Gym class by the tennis courts. He was talking to me in front of his friend. He said "Here is you on the coolness scale (hand low) here is me on the coolness scale (hand high)."
He decided to demonstrate one more time within about 5 seconds so I decided to change the balance. I pushed his to the ground. As he got back up I pushed him down again before he could get all the way up. He didnt have a "coolness" take on the situation at that point. He didnt say anything. Yes I was still a dub at this point.

BTW I left because it is completely bogus. It is also very boring. Worst of all there is no point to it whatsoever.

but, i have a question.. i went to the assembly for the weekend.

Nickey if you are having doubts then I am afraid you are going to have to sit down in front of the judicial comittee. We cannot have you infecting the masses of exJWs on this board with your backsliding attitude.
If you are disfellowshipped dont be too downhearted. We always allow people back into the fold when they demonstrate their repentance.

After I left the WTS I gave up on religion. I studied evolution and believed that for a few years.
Then I became a born again Christian. I joined a Lutheran Church and am still involved.

has anyone have any information on can or will the wt forgive a girl that gets pregnant out of wedlock.. my daughter has just revealed that this happened to a girl she knows who went full term on the pregnancy and was forgiven by the wt.

would such a person be given good treatment by the other members in kh.

The Spanish Inquistion was started over pre-marital sex. I think that alot of it has to do with anger by married people that were scared enough by tradition that they got married at 18 or so just to have sex. The irony is pre-marital sex is never condemned in the bible.
Come on now, who is really ready for marriage at 18? hahahaha. You think getting married at 18 legitimizes sex? If anything its less legitimate. I wouldnt enter a lifelong contract perhaps way too early just because I was in a hurry to "have a woman." Thats just silly.
Anyone notice how JWs kids tend to get married much younger? I remember an 18 year old guy marrying a 16 year old girl in my grandparents congregation back around 1991. They should have just done it discreetly and used a condom if they were that horny. Now they are stuck with eachother regardless of whether or not they made a mistake.

Explanation to Bush as 42nd President
by Brownboy in

2. bible
numbering of the presidents.

you may have noticed that the numbering of the presidents on this site differs slightly from other sources.

the reason is because of the two non-consecutive terms that grover cleveland served in the late 19th century.
FirstInLine

The VP is selected prior to the Presidential election. The VP is elected along with the President.

And now for something completely irrelevant....
The Ghostbusters had proton colliders that turned protons into positron streams or jets. A very different and much more violent and complicated process than a laser. In addition lasers emit negative particles whereas a positron stream is positively charged.
