Ok, technically Brooke is not a slut because she charges.
But since she doesn't charge very much, and even on occasion has paid for it...
Well I will let you decide.

whyamihere, buttlight, and myself kicked off the meetup early at the brewpub along with seeing the panthers kick the crap out of da bears.
anyways, we are posting the pics from the bar and will be adding some more as the night moves along.

i recieve many pms, emails, and more recently, many thread replies which ask me a simple question.. why are you disassociating yourself?
why not just fade?.
well, here's why.. my mother, and her mother, are in the "truth".
Since I was one of those who suggested fading, I just have to say whatever you do was already sure you had good reasons. You don't have to explain yourself to me.
Good luck to you.

i notice that so many at the hall have these vague, chronic diseases or afflictions that make it hard for them to go to all the meetings or out in regular service.
some get all sorts of sinus problems.
others have chronic fatigue.. did these clear up after you left, indicating that in many instances these were psychosomatic?.
Nope, sorry.
Wish I would have thought that one up though. Bummer. That sounds like it would be a pretty interesting thread. Much more interesting than mine.

i found this book for sale on the internet.
the writer lives at bethel.
the forward made me laugh.
I highly recommend this book for those who are not JW and wish to understand the KH dynamics better. This thing REALLY opened my eyes to alot of things around the hall. One of the prime motivators for everyone really is status, the JW world is no different. This book will show you how the guys go about getting it.

i am search of a 'loving quote'.
it need not be biblical.
hopefully something that shows we still love our loved ones still held captive, or love, unconditional at any rate.
"To me, saying I love you means that I have a powerful, heartfelt desire to see your best interests served. So what is another person's best interests? Ultimately, the most basic longing of all people is to have as much control of their world as possible. So when I say I love you, I mean on many levels, that I want you to be in control over your life. As much as possible, I want you to be able to control your destiny without any interference from even your own flaws and weaknesses, and especially from the flaws and weaknesses of others."
I told my wife something like this once. Some folks liked it. It doesn't really sing. But It is particularly fitting when talking to a cult member methinks.

sent to me by another person...
1 How has it affected your faith in God?
2 Explain any differences in the way you arrive at religious
understanding. (if the person still believes in God).
3 What were the biggest obstacles in leaving the JWs?
4 Describe any internal conflict over your decision to leave. How
did you deal with it? Why did the scales tip in favor of your exit?
5 What life lessons, or general principles did you learn through
all this?
6 What do you do with all your extra, stress-free time?
