Back in the day, I was guilty of this as well but my last two dub roommates really stretched the limits for me. One was a tall black brother with nipple piercings who had a collection of naked photos women would send to him. He went to goth clubs on Friday nights and would stay up until it was time for FS on Saturday. He also had a dead rat in a tupperware jar until it got so rotten he could boil the flesh from it's bones and keep the skull and other rcognizable bones. The other worked with me. 'Worked' is an overstatement. He slept and drank on the job, he had a porno mag stash. He stole booze from me (my deceased father's last bottle of homemade Elderberry wine, no less). And yet HE was used in the congo. He was popular with the sisters. He was being fast tracked to MS and held up as an example to ME.

The Two Faces of a JW
by Nosferatu init always amazed me how jws can have almost two different personalities.
it's not quite like having a double life, but it's the hypocricy of jws themselves.. i remember going to those meetings and seeing everyone with their plastic smiles, as if they were the greatest people in the world.
but you lift the curtain of their home lives, and their true personalities come out.. my mother was an entirely different person at the meetings.

No, but a local mega-church hung some hot pink fliers/invitations on a few doorknobs in my neighborhood.

I was down in California in the mid-80's and I saw the gap between the poor and wealthy congregations. I attended with the other less well-to-do brothers even though I had family in the rich territories. I felt more at ease in th older, slightly run-down but clean building used as a hall than at the shiny, manicured, and landscaped KH of my relatives.

Can Someone Explain Horror Movies?
by onesong ini try to be open minded and not judge anything but when i see these movie commercials----.
i think it was saw iii or something, all this blood, gore, shrieking and grotesque violence, all i can do is ask with a sense of awe --why?
why would someone want to watch that?.

I like horror movies, especially the older ones like the Hammer series. I guess they'd be considered campy by today's audiences. But what I do not like are slasher movies. Films that rely on blood and severed limbs rather than tension, suspence, and surprise.

Funny Symbol - Anyone Recognise It?
by misspeaches inhi guys... on an off chance that someone here might know..... my manager is one of those very well spoken, very clean cut & well attired breed of men.

Awkward moment Tuesday night
by Jourles inon tuesday night, i took an elbow to the nose while playing volleyball.
a guy i play with is an er doctor and recommended i go to the er just to make sure everything was ok. turned out i had a "nasal fracture with contusion.
" anyways, while talking with the admissions lady, one of the questions she asked me was, "any religion or church you want me to put you down as affiliated with?

Jourles, If your own blood didn't leave your body,I guess technically it wouldn't have been a "sin" to swallow it. I remember the dubs using the example of the heart bypass surgery (closed continous circut) and as long as it wasn't "primed" with blood it was okay. You didn't "prime" your throat with anybody elses blood did you?
