  Men suck.. (no offense to any guys here)

  by Dirt Rocker in

  i can't believe how many guys that have told me "oh i really really like you" or "i would never hurt you" <---- (my personal favorite) or just any other bull hooey that they just telll you to try to see how far they can get with you or whatever they want from you.

  i'm not even 18 yet and i'm already sick of it!

  ugh!!!

  I think that I have had it up to my eyeballs with all the crap that I get from guys. One minute, they like you. The next minute, they just want to hang out with you so that they can f*** you. Then they never call you.. ever again. I just don't know what to do. I know that I should probably just forget about guys right now, but that's hard. Not just cuz I'm 17 years old. It's because I'm a 17 year old girl who likes to have a guy there that I know cares about me for me. I used to have that. I feel like I need it to be happy, and that's not a good feeling. I don't want that feeling, but I don't know how to get rid of it.

  Speaking in terms of natural selection, it is the biological purpose of man to mate so as to perpetuate himself. However, it is the perogative of the female side of the species to secure a single mate to provide for her and her offspring, that is why women are "jealous."

  I'm a guy around your age Dirt Rocker. We ARE DUMB!!! Do not even use your precious time worrying about us because we aren't worth it. Wait a good long while and you'll start to see respectable men. But in high school? No.... never....

  I don't know about that. All the "dumb" people I knew in high school were really good people inside, even those who did extremely stupid things (most of which I cannot repeat, ever ).

  So the moral is, just have a good time in life and don't take things too seriously. Thats the West Coast philosophy and it works well for us here.

  All I can say is that people will have disagreements, why should we care if there was any particular petty quarrel by men who think they are God's gift to his people.

  607? 587? What does it matter

  by IP_SEC in

  2. bible

  personally i believe that 607 is not the right date, but here is another point of view.. does 607 or 587 or 609 or 586 or 1914 really matter?

  yes but only after you have a pivotal date.

  5 starting from the pivotal date.

  Scholar, where did you get your degrees, I demand credentials. What kind of archaeology courses have you taken? Did you focus on biblical archaeology? I'm interested and just wondering.

  ... you're driving down the highway and the heater falls out of your joint/cig?.

  ... you're having a haircut, your eyes are closed, and your hairdresser says "oops"?.

  ... you finally get home from work, then realize you stepped in dog sh*t on the way in?.

  ... a smelly person sits beside you on the train.

  I have a Dilemma ... would appreciate some advice....

  by stevenyc in

  well, it appears that i?m in a bit of a quandary and would appreciate any advice anyone could give.

  two days ago i announced that spring had finally arrived to some fellow new yorkers.

  they tried to convince me that on the north east coast, spring is never certain until summer is here, nonetheless i was adamant that, ?spring had indeed arrived?, and took on full responsibility for such a (now obvious) brash statement.. .

  I would take the slap up the head. Have you ever gotten snow down your pants? It burns and your member will most likely freeze in shock (have you ever jumped into an icy lake, 10x as bad). Why don't you settle for a simple, on the ass paddling, like on the Simpsons ("The Paddling of the Swollen Ass.")

  Do you hide apostate literature on your computer?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  i was wondering how many here take special precautions, like deleting internet files and clearing your internet history, so that no one else may use your computer and find out that you're visiting apostate forums and reading apostate literature.. maybe some won't even put a jwd icon on their desktop, just incase a jw family member could see it.. .

  There's much to be said about Windows XP and the concept of different users. As long as you keep your user as the only administrator, you're safe b/c they can't access the history of your user account from theirs.

  No, I don't hide apostate literature, I've got a room full of it!

  What if "the end" happens in 2150?

  by JustTickledPink in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a question.... what if the wts came out with a for sure prediction based on new light that without a doubt armeggedon will be here in 2150?

  well, that means that our generation will all die, but we can hope for a resurrection and we have to continue to preach and our grandchildren or great-grandchildren might actually be the ones to walk through the "end" into their "new system"

  the question is how many jw's would there be?

  I think most of them would stay in regardless, its kind of hard to break the power of a social control cult (I finally figured what type the JWs are, its not mind control!).

  heathen I've always found it interesting that they play with numbers like that, yet they say that 666 in Revelations doesn't code for anything, because a Christian wouldn't play with numerology. Hypocrites.

  Well, first they'd have to find some wacky way with numbers to "prove" that 2150 is the date. Of course, I don't think they did that for 1975...
