  I'm wondering if that is the same show that is suppose to be aired this Friday at 9pm on 20/20 in the US. I've seen a few teasers on it.

  I guess I'll have to watch it now.

  ... to say hello to one and all.. i received a couple emails last night from a couple of posters here wondering how i'm doing.

  happy to say, much better than before.

  i managed to catch the flu and was out of it for a few weeks - working at a call center is comparable to working at a germ factory.

  Hi Bridgette!

  Poster formerly known as "Andee" here. I remember you well. You left to have a baby if I remember correctly (and given my age, I COULD be wrong).

  Good luck informing your brother's girlfriend. She may have to experience it to believe it, because some of it is pretty unbelievable to those that have never been on the "inside".

  You might want to tell her that if her child ever needs a blood transfusion to save it's life, the WTS, the Congregation, and maybe even her "future husband", would rather see her child die than to receive the blood.

  Do NOT PRAY for the Astronauts families!!!!!!!!!!

  that is right-- do not pray for thier families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  they had no business being up in the heavens anyway, the earth is what jehovah created for mankind,

  man has continued since the days of nimrod to reach into the heavens.

  Hey James, good to see ya
  

  I was at Bethel when the shuttle blew up in the 80's and during lunch not one word from the head table was expressed, no concern for the millions of school kids who saw a teacher die, NOconcern for the folks who lost their lives, no expression of concern for their families

  
  
  Well, of course there would be no concern. A tragedy of this nature is merely a appetizer compared to the horrific deaths and devastating destruction that ole Jehovah has in store for them to witness "any day now".

  whether this is going to work out or flop, i am not sure.

  the goal however is to make my eating habits public in an attempt to prevent myself from straying off my diet.

  i have not always been overweight but currently i am friggen huge.

  I'm DONE with dieting!

  DONE! DONE! DONE!

  Went on my first "diet" when I was 12. That was my first step to nearly 30 years of roller coaster dieting, starving (sometimes literally for months), and unbelievable bingeing. Things got so bad that I checked myself into a hospital back in 1987.

  Always the struggle....struggle...struggle...struggle...

  Food (love and hate). Weight (Always hated, never loved)

  Write my food down, don't write it down, carbs are bad, carbs are good, fat is bad, fat is good, fat makes you fat, don't eat after 6pm, drink this magic formula, never mix protein with carbs, you have a disease, only eat when your hungry, Atkins, Scarsdale, Pritkin, Beverly Hills, New York, ........blah, blah, blah.....

  Then this winter I became constantly ill. Worst flu season in decades. In the past 4 months I have been ill probably 75 percent of the time. Because of my allergies I am especially vulnerable. It's been a very difficult time for me.

  I have worked out over 20 years but I couldn't now. Just too weak. I just wanted to be healthy, again.

  An epiphany and a relief.

  So, I just gave it all up. The focus now is on my health. I want to be healthy not "thin". I have made a decision to stop the self loathing when I look in the mirror. I have decided that I am pretty damn lucky considering all that I have put my body through and it's been pretty damn good to me.

  So, Jelly, I wish you well on your journey to be HEALTHY.

  A Few Thoughts On Barred Posters.

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are posters that are naturally disruptive and attacking in their behaviour, and after a while their departure is greeted with relief by most folk here.

  we've all had experience of people like that.. my biggest concern is for the poster who is simply amazingly volatile, yet is actually a big-hearted person beneath all of the bravado.

  i think of them as "garbage mouths", because they just can not contain themselves, especially when they have had a few drinks or the adrenaline is running on high.. maybe it would be a good idea, if, rather than actually barring someone, they were to receive a compulsory "time-out" period, say of 7days or so.

  That having been said Simon - you are a liar and a large one at that and I am sending several hundred links, which took me sixteen hours to track down to prove it. By the way, both your children are liars as well as being Watchtower plants, if you deny this you yet again prove yourself to be a liar. Another thing, Mother Teresa was a liar, she should actually have called herself Father Teresa if you get my meaning. What is this world coming to?

  Several hundred? That's it?!

  Great perspective and great post.

  FARTING IN THE KINGDOM HALL.

  by nightwarrior in

  2. experiences

  i was lead to beleive that cleanlinness was next to godliness,that jehovah is a clean god, .

  as we as a family sat down behind ( being the operative word ) a couple of elderly sisters ,arriving late we took the only seats available,even then we caused disruption as we even i were fighting over the seats as to where one would sit ,sure enough i allways seemed to end up in the firing line of these elderly fat arsed sisters,whom allways ended up farting in your face,the smell was so strong that you could actualy taste the stench it in the air 10 minutes later,i allways felt sick ,my children grinning .

  how did you cope yourself

  It's more than "just a forum"

  by nilfun in

  2. friends

  ok, i just read a post that has me close to tears.

  (it wasn't on any of the threads started or replied to by me).

  i know i am really no more than just a stranger to most all of you.. i heard tell that peeps posting to this site aren't "real people", that we're all just names on a screen.. wrong.

  LOL @ that pic Nil! I'll bet it's not too far off, either!

  I think that this forum is different things to different people. To some, it IS just a forum. Nothing more. Well, ok, fine. Still, I get annoyed when they chastise those that become more personally involved as needing to "live REAL life" . As if this sort of communication has no value.

  I don't post as much as I used to, but I still check in from time to time. I have talked to a few people on the phone and have met one poster in person. Though, I find my "relationships" formed here mirror in many ways the way I have friends in "real life".

  Sometimes I can't reply to threads because they've touched my heart so deeply that I just don't have the words.

  Once Mimilly wrote a thread about her Dad. I was overwhelmed with emotion because of how closely I related to her experience. I will never forget that post, ever.

  Though I am no big fan of 12 step programs, they do have a nifty motto that I think is fitting here: "Take the best, and leave the rest".

  It's up to each individual to decide exactly what is "the best" for them.

  In '65 I was in the Huntington Beach Cong.
  

  This caught my eye. Are you talking about the Cong on Talbert Ave in Huntington Beach? I mention it because that was my family's Cong in the 60's. It was the KH where my parents were married in 1959 (Even though my Mom was not baptised. I think the family had a lot of pull). My Grandmother was especially active. Very "spiritual" and completely devoted to the society.

  I was only a child at the time so I don't know if there were any other Congs in HB in the 60's.

  Also, Welcome to the board!

  Mega,

  PG & E did fight. They also agreed to binding arbitration. Once the verdict is delivered, there is no appeal. Hence, they HAD to shell out the cash.
