on a day to day basis, does it really make any difference to you as how you perceive others and how they perceive you?
if so, do you think this thought process can be altered, in one way or another, for the greater good?
I am learning to walk in the open-- freely, lovingly, and with the awareness that "we are all in this together" and are all part of the same great cosmic oneness. I'm a bit clumsy at times but try not to trip up anyone else. I have been known to do a little magical work to tie someone's psychic shoelaces together, though, if they are doing harm to others.

as i told kl, i'm not sabotaging her thread, mine has a twist, for example, my wife 'descibes' me best by always reminding that i'm not 'normal.
' this means i do things differently than the ordinary person as i'm into many activities.
many of these activities involve people.
I'm simply indescribable...

i contend that we are both atheists, i just believe in one less god than you do.
when you understand why you dismiss all other possible gods, then you will know why i dismiss yours.

Here's 2 I like:
1) "The real questions are the ones that obtrude upon your consciousness whether you like it or not, the ones that make your mind start vibrating like a jackhammer, the ones that you "come to terms with" only to discover that they are still there. The real questions refuse to be placated. They barge into your life at the times when it seems most important for them to stay away. They are the questions asked most frequently and answered most inadequately, the ones that reveal their true natures slowly, reluctantly, most often against your will." --Ingred Bengis, Combat in the Erogenous Zone
2) "If you can't make a mistake, you can't make anything." --?

dear concerned forum posters:
i feel at this time, in my long and varied career here at the forum, i must protest to the exalted and respected administator of this site, that a problem does exist in it's "labeling" of posters.
this concerns the titles that are given to posters when they reach a certain amount of posts.
And in response to an earlier post by upside/down... please don't start trying to "behave"! You're one of my favorite JWD bad boys

You people are just too much!!! And, as Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing is just about right." So where can I go to get a great sense of humor like you all got and how much is it going to cost me?

Don't know anything about it but would like to now. You have my curiosity roused.
Any info anybody?

where i live, its not usual for people to "dress up," especially business people and executives, you are more likely to see them with a button up shirt, khakis, and one of those fleece vests on.
so, on the whole, jws look very out of place wearing their cheap suits (though a few elders didn't wear cheap suits and they made that known, "look at this, i got a spot on my new $200 designer shirt" -- really, something like this happened).
but what i did notice is that, in my area, dressing guidelines usually weren't followed, or enforced for that matter, for good looking women.
I never got reproved or counselled on wearing anything that went against regulations (probably because I was generally quite conservative) but there were a few times when people complained to my mother and she then spoke to me about being careful not to stumble others ( at one point I had taken to wearing men's ties with my buttondown shirts, tailored jackets and skirts and topping it off with a corduroy driving cap).
But I did tend to notice that younger females were allowed a little more leeway in how they dressed (maybe because the elders are all male and like to take a little peek now and then?).
I also hated wearing dresses-on-demand in all kinds of weather and rarely wear one now unless it is totally hippy trippy or elegantly slinky...

you may have read my post about the loss of our brother dave.
well dave isn't df'd or da'd.
he faded out as an elder, and so did his wife.
Wishing blessings and comfort to all at the "apostafuneral"...

10. Other... Doubts about the Bible and religion as a whole. Once that was wash out for me, the WTB&TS didn't have a grain of sand to stand on.
But it was... 9. The Internet that made me seriously question their motives and methods!
