I used to play Free Cell all the time and it is addictive!
Ha, lately I've been playing Tetris on my Gameboy and love it! I've also started playing Bejeweled, fun game! Yeah I know these aren't card games but fun time wasters none the less!

LHG:
People might be pleasantly surprised at what they find and may well find them to be better people than the ones with a better outward appearance.
I learned that very early on in life, something I'm grateful for.

You do realize that you summed up the religion in a single phrase? It is LOADED with people who are clinically but controllably insane.
MinisterAmos how true that is! I used to wonder at times if the inmates were running the asylum....now I know. I always felt like a human doing in that organization rather than a human being. I just wanted to be me and it be enough. Oh well.....I don't know why but this topic struck a nerve with me today and I'm really a bit emotional over it.

Over the 40 years I was a JW believe me there were plenty of odd people like;
The young 20ish schizophrenic brother who tried so hard to be pleasing to Jah, studied, commented, was regular in field service, had regular parts on the service meeting as well as in the Ministry School. All of this while living with his mental illness and a house full of very dysfunctional people, parents and too many siblings to count.
One night he had the Bible reading which was not given first thing as is regularly scheduled but postponed until last talk. He gets up on the platform and apologized the the Congregation for being late and said it was due to his just getting out of the hospital minutes before because he tried to poke his eye out. He had a bandage on his forehead.....sadly enough many in the audience began to laugh. I have a sister who has this same mental illness, I didn't find it funny.
I always was amazed by his dedication and zeal for Jah, something which I felt lacking in myself and would many times wonder why a mentally ill person could do it and I couldn't.
Then there was this young married couple who were both mentally challenged and who found such delight in the simplest of things but had a hard time fitting in with other young couples in the congregation. Many of the older couples took them under their wing. They were cute, strange but very sincerely in love and sincere about their service to Jah. I once again found them to come up to the standards of serving Jah in ways I felt lacking. I also wondered how a (excuse the term) but a retarded couple could be so happily married with all the struggles that goes with marriage and I was so called normal and very unhappily married. I envied them.
Then we had a sister who's parents survived the concentration camps in Germany, he mother was a militant and literally snuck herself her daughter and a son into the US. They lived with meager means. The sister lived as a street person back in the 60's and had very little to call her own. Somehow she got hooked up with the JW's and they really helped her out, but her Mother disowned her due to becoming a JW.
She moved away from her Mother and ended up in our congregation. She married a nice guy (brother) and they had one boy. She was notorious for going to the swap meet in town and the town dump where she got most if not all of the furnishings for her home which btw was beautiful. You could never give her a complement about what she was wearing or anything with out her saying; "I bought it for a quarter at the swap meet, thrift store or found it at the dump." In her heavy German accent which was mocked by most all the JW's in the congregation behind her back, myself included, it became a joke.
Her husband had a good business and did well and she invested all their money in property to this day she is a millionaire, takes care of elderly people and sad to say he husband (who btw left the b'org) was murdered by some druggie while trying to get the rent from him.
I grew to love her she was a very humble person, kind and giving and really cared nothing about what others thought of her weirdness, she knew where she came from and was very proud of her achievements. I got to where I stuck up for her when others (JW's) would start mocking her.
I could go on and on here newboy with the strange and weird ones I got to know over the many years as a JW. My point is I used to think of the different ones as weird and shamefully before I knew better I used to join in making fun of them. I went through a very tough time and learned a lot about human nature, myself and what makes us tick and began to see the "nut jobs" differently and put myself out there and got to know them. Most people are damaged goods, we all are to some extent I know I am but now I try not to judge them and see their strangeness more as a response to the trials in their lives.
I know your purpose with this thread wasn't to make fun of people and I don't mean to put a damper on the thread. This is just my intorspection so to speak about what I've learned from a few "nut jobs" I've know in the B'org. Whos to say they are the nutters anyway? LOL

He's not sick.........he um, got reinstated the other night. Ya, you read that right. He's not doing too well with it as he never wanted to do this, but his family has left him little choice. He's still going to post here which I'm glad of, as he's going to need our support now more than ever.
God damn religion.
Oh dear, this sucky religion has another one of the good guys by the big kahunas, dang! Hang in there Gumbysack, we're thinking about you!
Mary hope you're feeling better!

Princess' Polar Bear Swim
by Mulan inshe will probably kill me for posting these photos, but i can't resist.. last thursday, our rachel (princess here) and one of her friends decided to dive into a local lake and do a polar bear swim, despite the fact that the temperature was in the teens and there was fresh snow from the night before.. here are a few photos.
you can see the snow on the ground and notice everyone else is bundled up.. .
this is before she dove in.

Unfortunately, I know this because three teenagers were playing on the ice and fell through last night. One of them died.
I had no idea when I heard that news story it was the same lake. I did wonder if you and friend had taken any safety measures like someone on the lake in a boat to do a rescue if one of you needed to be rescued? Hypothermia can affect even the strongest of athletes and thing can go bad really fast. I'm glad you are both okay.
While I think you are awesome and it's great to challenge yourself it did seem to me to be risky and I hope you never put yourself in harms way it's really not worth it, but I'm sure you know that!
Quite simply, the coldest and most painful fun I've ever had. It's not that I couldn't do it again. I just don't think I need to. Been there, done that, have proof.
Good to put that one behind you! Keep safe!

"Cat-faced women"
by onacruse invindication book 2 p. 141.
"the young men of aven and of pibeseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go into captivity.
" (30:17){ezekiel 30:17} "aven" means "vanity, wickedness," and "the young men of aven" seems to refer to the strong ones of big business giving worship to the selfish and wicked things which are vain.
