Don't plan on doing any Joint breaking, or beer drinking, but then again I never paid attention to every talk at the district convention....
Can I be an attendant?
let's show up at a few assemblies (close proximity) and have a p-a-r-t-y!
screw the debates over words; when we spoke to the boe, cos, dos, and bethel we were dealing with murderers, pedophiles, and protectors of mean men and women, called brothers and sisters.
now it's our time to have some fun within "the courtyard of the gentiles.

my foot tastes kind of nasty......like the recent response i made to a post about "sexual positions" (what is sex?
) it is a done deal and i apologize for it as i have done at other times here.. ok.....i'm done with my apology......i have salved my conscience.
ok.......you get my point.
Tattoos are rediculous.
Why would you want something so permanent on your body forever? Tattoos aren't for individuals, they're for sheeple.
Just kidding man, welcome to the dark side!
Remember, tattooed people are the same as everybody else, they're just way cooler and can kick your ass!
In response to your question, addicting isn't the best word- but it works. I get tattooed on average once a week, and I certainly look forward to each and every appointment.
it was the 14th of april last year that i had to sit my mother down and tell her i was an apostate.. i was closer to her than anyone else.
my father and mother are still married, but he let her raise me as a witness, and that meant it was me and mom.. me and mom in field service for 100 hours in july because she had to make her time as a regular pioneer.. me and mom fighting over what to bring for lunch to the district convention.. me and mom up late at night, when she would berate me, and then unload all her problems on to me.. me and mom and our 4 hour family studies, where we discuss 2 paragraphs of a random book, and then she would browbeat me until early in the morning.. somehow, through all that, i pretended to be a witness for years, just to appease her.
looking back, i don't know if i loved her, or if i was just afraid of her.
First of all, this is an oldddd thread.
but I'm still fine.
Don't feel bad for me.
and yeah, I couldn't have done it without God's help.... right.
Hello SPAWN! welcome. Give your old man a hug for me, tell him he's alright in my book! Hope to see you around!
P.S. I'm working hard to understand your generation. After all, you will be running the show when I retire. Of these three jobs, which do you see as being the most important, the most interesting, and why?
1. Politician.
2. Teacher.
3. Activist.
I'll take a stab at this on... most important- teacher, informs the masses. second most important politician, makes decisions for the masses. Most interesting, activist. You get to sit around and complain all day! I already do that!

Mavie,
First of all, I'd avoid the second design, as it looks a bit too much like a certain liquor logo.
The last link is a guy I know. He's reallllly cool.
This phoenix is actually the logo of the shop right next to mine, and I've always liked it :
PM me your location, and I'll find a few good shops for you on the superawesome freak network (otherwise known as BME's IAM)
ME likes the phoenix way more than the buddhist stuff. I know a lot of people with buddhist themed images on them, and they seem to always have a hard time explaining it.
But if you have to do buddha, you have to do him like this
I'm really busy today at the shop, but I'll swing back in when I can.
i have always been slightly uncomfortable using the phone, but over the last month i seemed to overcome it in a more general way.
to financially bad effect.
i just got my bill for one month and its horrendous.
Sorry to hear it crumpet.
I'm not a phone person myself. My mobile phone plan is 300 outgoing minutes with free incoming calls and night and weekend minutes. I've never gone over. I hate talking on the phone, and seldom call people if it isn't work related or I don't have a very specific question to ask.
they work hard and take care of their mothers.
they are loving uncles and kind hearted.
but they are 5'3', 290 lbs., bald at 35 and their personal interests are grounded in 3 stooges movies and star trek reruns.
Everyone, Richie? I think not.
Hyperbole man, sorry.
Both men and women can feel equally used and humiliated when sex is not handled properly.
Eh, I'm not going to debate "equally". But it doesn't matter, we're not discussing a bedroom discrepancy, we are talking about comments which said (jokingly) that they were willing to use alcohol and other drugs to lower their date's inhibitions so that they can have coitus with them. Call your local District Attorney or Chief of Police, and run that idea by them. "Uh hey, I have a date later on, and I plan on getting her drunk, and then uh, throwing down. Is that a problem with you guys??" Its called Date Rape. And its a crime. Not that bad because you're not using roofies? Lie. You just increase your chances of her waking up mid-assault.
I think the comments of several make clear that many unhealthy attitudes about sex and physical attraction and intimacy abound, and probably always have, in society.
Yes, but joking about adopting those attitudes oneself isn't funny at all. I can think of at least 3 date rape / marital rape survivors who are well respected posters here, and I'm sure the shadows may hold more.
I think it's great to be able to discuss these issues in this forum.
It's great when we discuss these issues. But no one has discussed them.
Its nothing personal, Nvr, but seeing things like this come out of the mouths of people I respect is hard to do.

You know what's funny?
Everyone here is quick to say that prostitution is horrible, horrendous, blah blah blah.
Yet everyone's laughing at the concept of date rape.
Seriously, that's just disgusting.
