  Look at the bright side: you were spared from Captain & Tenille's "Muskrat Love".

  men want 'say' in unplanned pregnancyactivists seek right to decline financial responsibility for kids.

  new york (ap) -- contending that women have more options than they do in the event of an unintended pregnancy, men's rights activists are mounting a long shot legal campaign aimed at giving them the chance to opt out of financial responsibility for raising a child.. the national center for men has prepared a lawsuit -- nicknamed roe v. wade for men -- to be filed thursday in u.s. district court in michigan on behalf of a 25-year-old computer programmer ordered to pay child support for his ex-girlfriend's daughter.. the suit addresses the issue of male reproductive rights, contending that lack of such rights violates the u.s. constitution's equal protection clause.. the gist of the argument: if a pregnant woman can choose among abortion, adoption or raising a child, a man involved in an unintended pregnancy should have the choice of declining the financial responsibilities of fatherhood.

  i just looked at my avatar after i made my 500th post here and realized that i have officially signed up on this forum 3 1/2 yrs ago but was lurking for several months prior to that.

  now 500 posts isnt that much for over 3 yrs and i am still a jw in "good" standing while so many of you have come here, left, and moved on already.

  so how long did it take you to leave after coming here?

  I left more than 20 years before finding this place by accident one day. I killed a lot of time here in 2004, as it never had occurred to me to search out Dub related sites on the web before then. It was interesting ... I really hadn't talked much other ex-Dubs (to my knowledge). I gradually tapered off posting here but still occasionally stop by here to see what's going on.

  i keep meaning to ask one of the super dubs this question, but i'm afraid it will "stumble" them.

  in the weeks before assembly we are given the list of do's and don'ts at ministry school.

  one of the instructions is always something like "if you notice that a person has become ill (has an attack etc.

  Yeah, but wouldn't he have wrenches & saws & stuff? Maybe even a torch for cauterizing wounds?

  Hmmm ... I saw The Cowboys (John Wayne, Bruce Dern, Roscoe Lee Brown, Robert Carradine) and The Cowboy Way (Woody Harrelson, Kiefer Sutherland, Dylan McDermott, Ernie Hudson) ... but this is one cowboy movie that just doesn't fit my mold. I'll certainly pass on spending money at the box office to see it. I might catch it if/when it hits HBO. Maybe I'm a homophobe, too.

  This may be my last post…so goodbye and thanks

  i never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.

  when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.

  that is not the case this time.

  I would normally wish you "good luck" with this, Dave. I know what MS has done to a couple of my cousins, so I understand a part of what you're facing. And so I'll simply wish the best for you. Wander thru again if and when you can.

  "I Took the Blue Pill", to the tune of "Margaritaville"

  by AlmostAtheist in

  2. friends

  this only makes sense if you're familiar with the red pill/blue pill decision faced in the movie "the matrix".

  if you aren't familiar with it, and don't mind finding out without watching the movie, you can read about it here: http://www.arrod.co.uk/essays/matrix.php.

  (i'd just tell you, but i don't want to spoil it for you if you'd rather see the movie first.).
