  I love Cello music...it's soothing. I'm going to look into this Gregorian Chant stuff. Sounds like the kind of music I'll like...Crumpet, can you give me any suggestions?

  I love all things Celtic...takes me back to my roots. Soothes the soul...

  I like new country...some old Johnny Cash,

  I love Bjork....her voice is beautiful, with her accent.

  I love heavy metal, death metal, (especially for housecleaning, boy, does my house sparkle when I play this)

  I also like some rap...

  I like all the stuff my kids are into...

  Self Proclaimed Doctors within the Dubs

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a previous post regarding herbal meds brings to mind two people, of course they're dubs, that swindled those in "da troof".

  back in the day, when my mother was first brainwashed and attended the edgecombe cong in harlem there were two teenagers, shirley and gladstone widdick, whose father was a jw but there mother was not (smart woman) they even relocated to queens around the same time we did in the early 1960's.

  many, many decades later, there seems to be some kind of buzz within the congregation that iridiologist (sp), i'll just call him the guy that looks in your eye and can diagnose every problem you've had since birth, is going to be in his hometown in new york and that he was "hangin' up the shingle" while he was here, needless to say this self-proclaimed dr/quack was dr. gladstone widdick and his book of appointments i'm sure was longer than the dr. that performed bill clinton's open heart surgery.. i believe he was/is located in the north carolina area, are somewhere in around there, any of you every had your eyes gazed into by this dr/quack ??.

  I had to chuckle at this topic. My mom and her sisters and brother, take every herbal pill, and remedy going, for this and that...and yet they are the sickest bunch I've ever seen. I think they take far too many things and it all counteracts against each other...

  My mom has a shoebox full of stuff she takes with her if they go overnight somewhere...and yet, every time I talk with her, she's just getting over one illness or another.

  What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.

  .

  what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

  I have a raccoon who likes to make his home in my garage....last week I saw him and a cat, (who was patiently waiting his turn, I might add) trying to get at my garbage. Until I opened the door and scared them both off. They each ran in a different direction, lol.

  One night, I drove into my driveway and scared off a raccoon and a possum....they are UGLY!!!! Those big huge teeth!!! Yikes!

  When I was younger, we lived in Northern Ontario, and we used to go to the dump at night, to watch the bears forage through the gabage. They were cute, but we knew enough NOT to get out of the car, or roll down the windows.

  the most beautiful cardinal just hit the window in our den.

  he's breathing, i can't tell if anything is broken.

  i'd check a little closer but i don't want to get pecked or something.

  We are aware of these recordings and would like to inform you that they do not have our approval. Please do not circulate or download these recordings from the Internet. We trust this information will clarify matters.

  This is funny, because my mom made sure that I received the same cd a few years ago. I remember her saying, "this is from our dear brother, George Benson and some of his good friends, Celine Dion being one of them." My mom and her friends made sure everyone they knew got a copy, lol.

  I got rid of it...it was nice, but Kingdom Melodies? Not my cup of tea, thanks.

  hey there.

  i'm new to the forums and just had to say hi, and thank you to all of you who've shared your stories which have let me know finally and for sure that i'm not crazy and nowhere near as abnormal as i've been feeling...well, forever, really, but more so over these last few years!!!

  i can't tell you what a good feeling that is, but i suspect you already know.

  i've been a lurker on the forum for a while and wanted to finally register and post something.

  i'm 23 years old, and was born and raised a jw.

  i've been out "officially" now for about a year, although i've really been out since i was 16.

  Hello and welcome. I'm not from Florida, but I've been there a few times....

  It was a bit trying, to make friends on the "outside" at first, because of the JW upbringing, and their thwarted view of so-called "worldly" people... but it eventually got easier. I work with the public, and I'm an out-going person, so it helped.

  Just go to places that you enjoy, and seek like-minded people there. Like a library, or museum, a theatre, coffee shop. Do you have any work mates that you can chum with for a start? Neighbours?

  5. It's cheaper.

  When I was a teen, the KH I attended in a large city was constantly having rocks thrown through the windows. So they eventually removed the windows and bricked them in.
