we always talk about the crazy j-dub fundy types, but i knew some cool jws (co, do, bethelites, pio) during my time.
this is kind of a "where are they now" post along with acknowledginig some jws who were cool and down-to-earth.
as with most "cool" and good people in the borg, most of them are either not jws anymore (burned out) or are not "serving" in responsible positions (funny how that works, isn't it).
Bob & Becky Horn, Sandy Congregation, Sandy, UT. Super cool people. I really miss them to this day, 16 years later.
momscrazy and her hubby were pretty cool folks. I used to hang out with momscrazy's husband a lot when we were younger (same congregation). Now they're both out. Yeeeee hawwwwww!!!!
i haven't left.... 1 thing while i'm actually in is being here though.... i'm happy here.
i actually feel for the first time really "right" about something... .
Sweet, sweet fornication.............ahhhhhhhhh.
john just made me take a bath, just because i was muddy and smelled like a dog.
he can be such an @$$hole!.
simba.
The look on your dog's face reminds me of a pic I have of my dog, Ronin. He looks really guilty in this one:
i am reading buried alive: the terrifying history of our most primal fear, it's really cool
My screen name (Low-Key Lysmith) is actually a character's name in American Gods. If I told you how the character's name applies to the story, I would ruin it for you if you haven't read it yet.Lowkey said this about.... AMERICAN GODS by Gaiman.
Thanks Lowkey for your opinion too.
a number of years ago, there was a large group of us that went to an unasigned territory.
many of us stayed at a small motel, motel 8, 6, 666 something like that, others camped out.
so, most of those that stayed at the motel were in the in group.
FHN is absolutely right - skinny women dont do it for me either
Amen brother. Bones are for dogs.
with the increase in evangelical churches there seems to be a lot more emphasis on the practise of "speaking in tongues".
i quite like the way these churches conduct services, with live music and great singing.
it is so different to the kh meetings and like fresh air.
It's a bunch of improvised gibberish,
"blahlalalalala goobylalapoogleebeebee"- ridiculous. It doesn't take Holy Spirit to prompt someone to spout a bunch of babble.

Thanks for the reminder about Neil Gaiman. I requested his book, AMERICAN GODS, from the library and I see the request did not go through. I have to reorder it.
BEST. BOOK. EVER.
as jw's we were taught that almost everything was bad for some reason or another.
xmas, birthdays, lucky charms, watching r rated movies, not going to meetings, .
going to college, liking sports, etc.
It was this type of reasoning that helped me deal with the guilt shortly following my exodus from the JWs. I figured that I was a "good" person because I didn't lie, cheat, steal, murder, etc. I smoked a little pot and fornicated a bit, but who was that hurting? I finally came to the conclusion that if an angry god wanted to smoke me for hitting the Devil's Lettuce and making love to a woman that I cared deeply for, then so be it. Years later, I lost all belief in God whatsoever.
But you're right, destroying someone's life by DFing or DAing is one of the greatest evils ever, as is covering up and excusing abuse. Condemning someone for giving someone a Christmas present or eating a bowl of Lucky Charms is absolutely absurd considering the evil, hurtful deeds done daily by this diabolical organization.
for me, there are a number of movies that i never tire of.
here's a partial list:.

Looks like an over-hyped Godzilla movie to me.
