i went to get my hair done and my beautician happens to be a dub.
she has known me and my family for a long time and she has an idea that im "inactive" but thankfully she hasnt been really nosy otherwise i would take my business elsewhere.
anyway, i've long since faded and when i do go to get my hair done i manage to avoid all "jehoober" related conversation and have so far been successful.
That's hilarious. You ought to write a film script or something. You got some special little talent there for reproducing funny dialogue.
Don't conversations like that just make you want to say something really bad? When I read it I realised in a flash where I got my underlying constant desire to shock people.

I still post there but there's a lot of scripture slinging and I'm not a biblical person. And every time you talk about a personal experience you get a torrent of messages from JWs accusing you of whining, it's disheartening.
last night was the first meeting of the circuit overseers visit.
i didnt go, but i know (because of a call from an elder about two weeks ago) that they are going to visit me this week.
ahh!!
Oops, that first line should have been in a box to show it came from Theocrat.

But as I've said before, somebody has to expose you idiots for what you are.
Expose what to whom exactly? I don't think there's anything really exciting to be exposed here. It's a great JW fantasy that being an ex-JW is a terrible, shameful thing. Nobody else gives a toss. Does anybody you meet even know what a JW is, current or former? (unless they saw Dateline?)

Hi. This board is a LOT more fun than Bnet, don't you think?

i remember as a kid being freaked out by two pictures.
one was of the demons floating away leaving their screaming wives and babies during the flood, and the other was the collage with the gas mask guy and the kid holding his hands over his ears and the dead guy with the chopsticks..... oh yes, did i mention that i wasn't allowed to watch the care bears movie as a kid because of the "frightening and demonic" scenes?
Crazy, isn't it? I hope they don't do that anymore.
this is very interesting and i believe there is something in these sweeteners.. .
please read .
subject: all diet soda drinkers beware .
If you want to check for aspartane in a product, what do you look for in the ingredients list? I mean, will it necessarily use that name, or will it be broken down into consituent ingredients that are difficult to identify? Or go by some chemical name that normal people wouldn't recognise as aspartame? Are there other artificial sweeteners that have the same effect? Are you likely to find it in all sweetened products or just ones that say "sugarfree"? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a little concerned and I know these people are sneaky, sneaky bastards.
i think humour is a good way to establish what wavelength a person is on, what do you think?
I hardly ever use sarcasm directly towards a person I am talking to (except my husband when I'm really really REALLY mad at him, but that is pretty rare and I don't actually think it's okay even then, I just get carried away). But I think it's okay to make fun of big political figures, people in the news who are acting ridiculous, the Borg. It can establish a common ground with other people. Of course it could also land you in a fistfight pretty fast. I think you do have to walk a fine line with sarcasm, or it can just come off heavy handed. The English are great at it. I'd have some little interaction with a shopkeeper or whatever, and I'd be two blocks away before I'd realise they'd insulted me, and I'd still be laughing even though it hurt because they were just so dry and subtle.
