  have not been as regular on this site, as i was years ago.

  so i need to know, which posters here are playing the characters of ones who either claim they speak to god, are god, speak to an angel, hears god's voice in their head, are a prophet or any other numerous form of that character.

  some times those folks come up and bite me when i forget those sort of characters in the play are here.

  I'm not too bothered about god. I'm responsible for me and that's about it.

  I have smoked weed (pot) don't like smoking it - prefer it in a biscuit (cookie) Have it rarely. I have tried smoking ciggies - ugh - hated it - hate the taste and don't like kissing smokers (it's the taste sorry) I have tried a cigar and nearly poped a lung.

  Every now and again I'll have a hubbly (hooker) with fruit malasis - that is quite enjoyable.

  '1600 years of Ice melting in 25 years is a bad omen'

  by designs in

  glaciologists from ohio state university have been studying the ice fields in peru.

  tropical peru is home to ice formations 18,000 feet up in the quelccaya region, the largest of these tropical region ice sheets.. the glacier is melting so quickly that plant samples are having to be frozen artifically so that scientists 30 years from now can have something to study, lonnie thompson from the university said in the interview.

  the ice field is the smallest it has been since the last ice age.. peruvians rely on the water from the glaciers, which will be reduced by 50% in their lifetime.

  ohiocowboy - I agree with you, the earth has gone through so many cycles and will continue to do so whether or not mankind aids it along it's way - we've just got to realise that and when it comes a few will survive and continue on. It the circle of life.

  Were You A Sneaky Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  you know, the type that looked like a model witness but at home you were not the best example o your family?.

  or maybe you accepted from the faithful slave that oral sex was bad, but you did it secretly---same with masturbation.. or perhaps you put in some wonderful hours and placements on that report slip, knowing you might have exaggerated just a bit.. so, were you one who practiced what you preached?.

  I went through phases: I'd practice what I preached because I felt so guilty for going out to a club and kissing three differnet boys and having a feel or doing one or two naughtier things. It was a vicious circle. I never ever got naughty with JW boys because I knew they might get all guilty and go to the elders.

  i haven't got much of a story.

  i'm in my late teens, grew up in it, and got out of the society's regime by the skin of my teeth.

  nearly go baptized because i firmly did believe it was the "truth" but because of a gut feeling that held me back, that i almost ignored, i didn't sign my blood to big brother.

  they keep pretending to be my friend, and then i get word that they actually hate me.

  they have even slandered and said i not worthy to talk to.

  then of course, there are the rumours... needless to say, i am pretty depressed..

  What Do You Do All Day?

  by Bangalore in

  what do you do all day?.

  a man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard.. the door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.

  proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess.

  How do you feel when....

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ...when you remember that you are free from that religion?.

  for me, it is the best pick me up i can ever have.

  i may have had some really dark days, i may still, but that is the one thing that pulls me towards myself: i am free to think for myself, i am free to associate with whom i want, i am free to sleep in on the weekends, i am free of the guilt, i am free of an angry god that made me feel shit about myself.. i am fortunate enough to have put that time in my past - though i am happy to speak to ex jw's - to share experiences, to laugh, to cry and then to celebrate we are out.. i know that many of us still have people in that faith that we love.

  Hey Nancy drew - I love the ocean and am very fortunate to live really close to it - it's not even a 5min drive from me. I would hate to be landlocked - it would throw me. It is so wonderful to go down to the beach and just sit and look on out - sooo gloriously peaceful.
