  We bought a t-shirt recently that says -

  BAD INFLUENCE

  and my hubby is having a fun time with it. He was wearing it outside doing yard work last week and I had just told him to take it off as it was getting stained by the shrubs - no more than a few minutes later, we were "flower bombed" by two sisters coming by for the first contact in two years - dang, if only I'd not had him take the shirt off - we would've loved to see their reaction to it. His words to them might have led them to the same conclusion, shirt or not tho.

  BTW - the shirt is made by the Lost company and it has a small tag on the inside that reads, " THE TRUTH HURTS" Who's the entrepeneur on JWD that's marketing these?

  Very interesting ideas/thoughts!

  We're so happy to finally be able to think about such things and ponder our life and those "Big Fives". I'm one of those that is still formulating my list but my hubby just fulfilled his biggest of the five - cycling through Italy. A life changing experience as he soaked up the warmth of the culture, enjoyed the food and wine, the kind folks, and the love of cycling over there.

  - Thanks for the post

  for those that no longer go to the kh --i was curious as to what you have done with your field service bookbag?.

  for a long time i could not look at it without feeling guilty, then a couple of times i looked at with contempt.... after awhile it mysteriously ended up in the dumpster including... the books, tracts, wt's, awakes, and return visits slips that was in it.. where is your bookbag right now?.

  Kept 'em in the closet for a while thinking that there may be times that we'd use the men's leather ones for other business matters, carrying paperwork etc to an appointment or something. I would feel SICK every time I'd see them in there though and finally did bag them up and they went off to the Salvation Army. Didn't think any brothers would go to their thrift store lookin' for a new bag, but again felt some person in the business world could make use of one. But, then again, would they need to be shopping at the thrift store?

  Just the other day, helping to clean out my son's desk - (per the messy desk thread, I got motivated-thank you all) - I found his littlest thin magazine bag from his youngest years, and we happily tossed it.

  As for the movie?

  You are probably correct in the $ amount the movie has taken in as the majority of folks out there would not be interested in it - but with our past experiences as JW's, we found it to be entertaining and engaging - stimulating our thinking which we now allow. I have no doubt that most on this board would be LAO at many points in the movie. It will probably be out as a rental soon.

  2. child-abuse

  i just saw on the local news that a jw i have personally met and whose family i know was arrested for child pornography.

  he is only about 30 years old.

  this is the second case in 2 months involving an arrest for a child sex crime within the same congregation (the man on the news actually moved away a few years ago).

  From Silentlambs links and reading story today, I can't help but wonder, how do you have 98 photos taken of you of the lurid sort mentioned and not know that photos had been taken of you? Just curious.

  No.

  There are other ways to remember a loved one other than subjecting yourself to the Cult's influences. We had no KH memorial for my dad who died under their control.

  A KH wedding is the saddest event of all as you watch them become entangled in that 3 corded WTS rope.

  I have to share this story -

  ...this is a newspaper clipping that I carried in my Bible for several months when I had become SO annoyed at a certain elder's usage of the word, APPRECIATE, in his talks, prayers over the years. I had started to do a checklist during his parts of how many times he used the word - in just one 5 minute part, it was used 18 times! Clipping made me realize that it wasn't only me!

  Feb. 2002 WORD HATING MAN SENTENCED

  Galveston, Texas (AP) - A man who becomes upset when he hears certain words was sentenced to six years in prison for shooting his girlfriend because he thought she was about to say "New Jersey".

  Thomas Ray Mitchell, 54, was convicted earlier this month of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for shooting Barbara Jenkins outside his apartment in March 1999. He faced up to 20 years.

  Jenkins died recently but it was not connected to her injuries from the shootings.
