First of all, LW, I am not going to get into a pissing contest with you. I made an assumption about you, and so, OK, get a rope. I apologize and I am very glad you were never a JW. Yay, good for you . . . which means that you aren't exactly one who has walked a mile in very many people's shoes who post on this forum.

I do hope your above comments were a parody, because your contridictions are laughable.

That comment was a pretentious as your "Courier-oh, pay attention to me" font. You bring the funny when you make statements like that and give no reference.

I am trying to remain calm whilst I respond to your accusations toward me......
I am not, nor have I ever been a jw, so your statement is a lie and will be obvious.
I am also not a "fundamentalist" as I have no religious or idealogical persuasion.
I am sorry that our collective discussion about FILMS ended up a labeling, name calling attempt on your part to silence my opinion.
You could not be more off the mark as far as your thoughts about me are concerned. For those who know me are laughing at your mistake.

You really should calm down, lol. There were no accusations or name calling. You might just be overreacting just a bit. Was your initial comment to my post not an attempt to silence my opinion? A little intellectual intimidation, maybe? Hmm . . . you bring the funny when you overreact.

My daughter is scared of crocodiles. Any advice?

by myauntfanny in

every few nights my daughter calls me in and says she's worried about the crocodile coming to get her.

i know some people on here have small children (she's three), what do you say to them?

i tell her there's not really any crocodiles, but it doesn't seem to help.

Let her watch Steve Irwin, the croc hunter. She will get an education about crocs and have a laugh or two. Just the thing to break her fearful pattern.

What is funny? Who brings the funny? People like Little Witch bring the funny when they go from fundamentalist cult member to political expert.

Talk about spinning! Everything in the media is spun. Even FOX's (fair and balanced) O'Really Factor does a wonderful job of spinning. Bill O'Really, in his "no spin zone", spins the content of his show simply by asking loaded and slanted questions. Bill uses the same intellectual intimidation tactics the WTBTS uses in their publications. It's all bullshit and we have no control over whatever version of the truth that comes to light each day.

Anyway, Moore's "spin" on the 9/11 thing and the Bush administration is just as fair and valid as the lies propigated by that adminstration and the spin put on matters by the conservative Bush butt-kissing bunch.

Michael Moore writes on his site:

When you hear the wackos on Fox News and elsewhere refer to this prize as coming from ?the French,? please know that of the nine members of the Festival jury, only ONE was French. Nearly half the jury (four) were Americans and the President of the jury was an American (Quentin Tarantino). But this fact won?t stop the O?Reillys or the Lenos or the Limbaughs from attacking the French and me because, well, that?s how their simple minds function.

I am looking forward to the film's release here in the states. I enjoyed seeing Moore stick it to that old bastard, Charlton Heston, in Bowling For Columbine, and I am going to enjoy watching Moore, even more, sticking it to the Bush administration. Vincent DiNofrio's character said it best in Salton Sea, "you got to go!".

Taking sides politically is, in my estimation, a complete waist of my time. They all lie. I have heard enough lies in my lifetime, and all I know is that whoever we get in the White House next will not be anywhere near as evil as George Dubya.

[Edited to say] I have not yet ever voted, and I usually do not complain about who is in office because they all suck, but I do miss Bill Clinton a bit. I am thinking of voting this time around simply to say that I do not want that dumb-arse monkey boy in the White House for another 4 years. Something is wrong when the president's wife has to constantly go on late night talk shows to explain her husband to America . . . it's like it's her sorry-ass job to come in behind the idiot and tell everyone what her husband meant . . .

My daughter has been accepting of my intervening in her relationship with an unbaptized JW. Although still sad at times, she is determined to finish high school (this is her senior year) and go on to college. (Carl, her x-boyfriend, is a hs drop out and aspires to get a job at Guitar Center and eventually get certified for smog inspecting automobiles. He once told her during their relationship that he did not see why she wanted to go to college . . . that was red flag #1 by the way . . . )

She has tried to hit the ground running after the forced break-up and has drawn closer to her friends at school. In her determination to move on, she decided the night before to attend the prom with her friends. She was going to take Carl to the hs prom before the break up. I was delighted and my wife, Mary, and I made a mad scramble to help her get ready. Dear Puppie jumped in came through with a beautiful prom dress just hours before the prom. The group of kids she attended prom with rented a limo and they had a good time . . . something most of us who were raised as JW's did not get to do while attending hs.

Today she is helping her uncle out at his pool supplies store where they are having a big parking lot sale . . . she is selling hot dogs and sodas.

Here are a couple of picks from her prom.
