Would you rather be a sports star or a rock star?
by Dustin ini was thinking the other day, if i could choose to be an awesomely gifted basketball player, or an awesomely gifted singer/guitar player; which would it be?
in the end i decided i'd rather be a rock star.
better parties, and definitely more of a bad boy image.

Do you feel bad for all the things you did as a JW?
by rebel8 in.
i do: shunning df/da'ers and others i was told were "weak" or "bad association"telling on fellow dubs to the elderscalling the rc church and being hostile/rude while demanding they remove my name as a parishoneranything and everything i did in field service and informal witnessingintentionally having a distant relationship with my "unbelieving" dad and other relativestelling my relatives i was planning on going to bethel, which broke their hearts (of course i never went, because it was a lie--my mom made me say that sh-t)sitting during the pledge of allegiance/national anthem or during prayers when attending funerals/weddings in other churches (imo it's intentionally disrespectful--obnoxious--why make the point of being in the room and then disrupt--they should just leave the room if they can't be polite)being judgementalparticipating in the kh grapevineobeying my jw whack mother's rules and all the other jw rules, and tolerating mental abuse--i feel guilty for not displaying basic self respect.allowing my mother to continue spanking me until i was 18, again which showed lack of self-respect (lol, on my high school graduation day, she tried to punch me and i held her hands back, said, "you are never going to hit me again.
" younger sibs clapped!

WTF???!!! Hunter Thompson Kills Himself...
by Valis inman that sucks bad...i believe he was one of the great writers of all time..and he partied like hell too!.
denver, colorado (ap) -- hunter s. thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like "fear and loathing in las vegas," fatally shot himself sunday night at his aspen-area home, his son said.
he was 67.. "hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his friends and admirers respect that privacy as well as that of his family," juan thompson said in a statement released to the aspen daily news.. pitkin county sheriff bob braudis, a personal friend of thompson, confirmed the death to the news.

I can't help but wonder if it was just a drug-addled accident. Hunter S. dropped acid 5-6 times a day. That compounded with the Chivas Regal that he washed the acid down with day after day has had to take it's toll on his judgement. Just a thought. But I will raise a glass to one of the best writers EVER!!! May ye get to heaven a half-hour before the Devil knows you're dead Mr. Thompson.

Any new announcements about DF'd/DA'd family members?
by Low-Key Lysmith ini'm really curious, my grandma, who has pretty much been the only family member to check in on me on a regular basis since my dfing, called me about three months ago and asked me a list of questions that sounded like she was reading them off of a teleprompter or something.
the questions sounded really rehearsed.
"do you believe in god?

No, I guess I should have. The Elder scenario sounds feasable too. Hmmmmmmm?

"Do you believe in God?" "Do you ever plan on coming back and tying to get reinstated?" There were a lot of questions that just seemed really out of character for her. I answered her questions honestly even though I knew it would really disapoint her. I haven't heard a word from her since. She used to call @ least once a week. I have tried to call her and no answer, ever. I know she has caller ID. My question is: Have any of you out there who still go to meetings hear an anouncement that relates to my Grandma's behavior? Are families supposed to get down to the real nitty gritty with their outcast relatives and shun them entirely if apostasy is admitted?

A little more about me
by Ticker inhello everyone, you have probably read some of my posts but i wish to tell a little more about my story, not all of it but just to give a mindset of where i stand and how i feel.. i had been a witness since childhood as i had been indoctrinated at a very young age by a zealous grandmother who had devoted her life to an organization.
like i had stated before i have come to realize she was serving a image of god created for her consumption by imperfect men, but none the less i know she meant well in her actions.
i have always had a good heart toword others and god, and though at times it troubles me to think of how i used to carry the jw mindset of judging others viewpoints and faith, not intentionally but because of being molded into such a form through misdirected thinking.

Read and enjoyed your post Ticker. Your attitude is admirable. I have one question though, as I have been out of the borg for some time, are they seriously encouraging young couples to obstain from having children? What a crock of S##T!!! That is an outrage.

Tough day -- my mom died today
by cruzanheart inpoor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. I lost my mom last April to pancreatic cancer. I hope that you do not have to go through a disgusting JW funeral like I did. I had never been so offended in my life.
