I haven't tried chocolate covered Xena, and I doubt I ever will, but it does remind me of an Italian movie I saw once with this prostitute who had all these specialty clients, and one was a baker who covered her in chocolate and then decorated it with gorgeous flowers and things. It was a really cute movie.

I am sitting here eating...
by myauntfanny insomething that is really vile but i am wondering if i'll acquire a taste for it.
i went into a very posh gourmet chocolate shop today, and feeling cheap got the cheapest chocolate in the shop.
it was still expensive.

They're both good. But cheezits stick in your teeth, that gets on my nerves. So bugles, but only regular flavour. Those other flavours are too new-fangled for me. And they taste really chemical.

do you ever write posts but not post them?
by dh ini find that i do it a lot, often to do with politcal threads, i read some of the stuff people write and i want to rip into it so badly, of course because i know i am right all of the time and everyone else just thinks they are, so i write a post, then i read it and don't bother to post it... i figure, why destroy everyone elses illusions that they are right?
that just wouldn't be nice.. sometimes i spend a while writing a long post, then i just hit ctrl+a followed by space bar, and back in my browser... does anyone else do this or is it just me?
i am particularly interested to hear from other people who like myself are right all of the time but would feel guilty about shattering everyone else's illusions.

Enemy combatants
by Simon inwe keep hearing the phrase "enemy combatants" which seems to be a new invention to mean people fighting on or near the battlefield but not part of the army.. these are baaaaaad people, we are told (how dare they defend their homes and countries god damn it!)..
they can be tortured, imprisoned without notification or trial and generally not treated very well.
the legalities of this are in serious doubt.. what then of the numerous "enemy combatants" in iraq at them moment?

I'm talking about the private armies and security forces.
I'm a little worried about that too. Do mercenaries even have to honour the Geneva Convention?

Has this happened to anyone?
by Purza inso my mother opens the door for a discussion (via email) and i totally freeze up.
i find it almost impossible to tell her how i feel about the jw religion.
when i finally figure out what i want to say, she completely dismisses my thoughts.

Nos -- selective memory. My mother has that too
Years later, I told me my mother how much it hurt me that I wasn't allowed to have any friends outside the church, especially since there were only a couple kids in the church and they weren't allowed to associate with us because my father was an unbeliever. Which meant that I actually had NO FRIENDS as a child (I did have siblings, though, thank goodness). Anyway, I couldn't believe what she said back to me, she said "but honey, I didn't stop you from having friends, you just didn't WANT friends". The feeling of total unreality I got when she said that was very wierd, like I was almost floating. I had to call my sister up and say, listen, I'm not crazy am I, we weren't allowed to have friends, right? I was relieved when she confirmed it.

In german
Es macht nichts (it doesn't matter)
or just Bitte which means "please".
A: Thank you.
B: Please!
Sounds wierd, don't you think?
I really like the way Americans and English are always coming up with new way to say things. It's creative.

Do you believe in God or Jesus ???
by run dont walk inpersonally, i could care less about god and/or jesus, have no use for either of them, very disappointed in how they run things.
and when i die, i hope i get the chance to tell him/them that.. there was a great song in the late 80's early 90's by depeche mode called blasphemous rumours(spelling ?
) "i don't want to start any blasphemous rumours, but i think that god has a sick sense of humour, and when i die i expect to find him laughing.".

I refused to believe in god for years because he seemed like such an a**hole. But, I got to thinking that hating some brutal uncaring sh*t of a god I was still just really believing in the god I'd been taught, only in a negative way. Now I think, well, we're totally free to believe in the god of our choice, it's really not a matter of having to choose between the JW big-fat-mean-wanker god, or no god. One thing I really blame the JW religion for is that it so often leaves people cringing like whipped dogs when it comes to spirituality. That spiritual abuse cuts people off from something that might actually be a source of strength and comfort for them. I think if we hate god because JWs were such berks, then in a twisted way, they WON. They say, "ours is the one true god", but why believe it? Why not make a god that suits you? They do.

Parents don't understand...
by überRabbit inmy parents just don't understand why i don't want to be part of the jehovah's witnesses organization.
it's not that i don't believe jesus' teachings, but i believe that the society has taken it too far.
they read too deep into god's words, that they end up putting training wheels on everyone.

Yup, I went through this, 30 years ago. I'll tell you what, I remember lying in bed when I was eleven years old calculating how many years it would be before I could get a job and get the hell out of the house. The hardest thing in my teens was looking at my parents and thinking they were so bloody wrong about this religion, but I still had to follow their bizaare, destructive little rules, because they had the power, plain and simple. I got very rebellious and did silly things like running away from home (right before an assembly, I just could not stand the thought of another assembly) but I don't recommend that. Rebelliousness just makes them stronger and more self-righteous, it gives them something to pound on. You'll be surprised how much more you can get away with, if you just do it with quiet self-respect.
Good luck.
