If you happen to be female wearing a short skirt or getting a piercing (for me - my upper ear) will have the same desired effect (well, in ultra-conservative New England, anyway).

since growing a pony tail i have a sense of command .
i am no longer visited by the elders ( to encourage me), dubs may say hello but never converse ( to encourage me).
i have a sense that i'm having the last word .

someone i knew stood up at the convention to answer her two baptism questions both with a "yes".
she was having an affair with a married brother at the time.. but i'd top my 'biggest lie' list with four small words; "in the beginning, god"
That's easy -
The Witnesses have the truth.

what are some of your fav quotes from movies???.
i love the line in face off "oh eve i hate to see you go but i love to watch you leave".
and the one in the rock " you want me to stick this in my heart are you f#$%ing nuts".
"take me to bed or lose me forever"
Top Gun
Country Guy - Office Space is my favorite movie EVER!!!
i have noticed that, in general, there is a "core" of regular posters on jwd that have been members for several years.. however, it seems the vast majority of "newbies" disappear after a couple posts, days or perhaps a week.
how many "welcome" or "introduction" .
threads have we had here where the new member disappears within a day or so, never to post again?
Hi Kid-A,
I guess I fit into the category that you describe. I'm here nearly every day and I read lots, but even on the internet I'm not a very social person because I seldom post. I still find this forum to be a huge support to me - my experiences with the org have been similar to so many others.

believe that gods name is jehovah?
do you still use it as his name?
I don't really think it matters what his name is.

i once posted here a copy of my empassioned plea to the watchtower society--i want my mother back.
well, i just wanted to let all of you know that i got her back for a whole 17 days, and we had one final adventure together before she died, and there wasn't a damned thing they could do about it.. my mother is, was, a long-term loyal jw and i was her disfellowshipped daughter.
i believe she was in an almost constant state of conflict over me because her very strong maternal instincts demanded she behave openly and lovingly toward me, while her wts-trained conscience demanded the opposite.
What a wonderfully touching story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

could be anyone, osama bin laden, oj simpson, pat robertson, someone who personally hurt you or your family, anyone at all.
would you pull the trigger, throw the switch, etc, which would end someones life?
would it make a difference if no one would ever know, versus everyone knowing?
I never thought I could until I had a baby. If someone hurt her, I'm fairly sure that I could kill them.

........................at my last meeting, the elder was talking about 1975 and said "it never happened, it is appostates using a time when (some) brothers took the info in the wt wrong"...................i just blinked and finally woke up.. i had been on this site lurking for a couple of weeks, and realized thing werent right, but to have some creep say on the platform " it didnt happen"............when this ruined my and my siblings childhood, just made me snap.
on the way home, i told my hubby "that was the last meeting im going to"................boy was he pleased.. .
so if you didnt get df ......................what happened at your last meeting.?.
I wish I could remember my last meeting, but for the last few years they all blended together. I left because I always felt really crappy emotionally and physically it wasn't until later on that I realized all of the doctrinal issues.

some time ago i attracted some really agressive responses that surprised me because i had no intention of offending so i had to learn a lot about how to word things on this forum, smiley faces etc so others would know i was pulling their leg, but i oftened wondered if a posters nickname or avatar puts you off instantly??
you know, first impressions.
i would think someone like satanus or mouthy would be intimidating but miss peaches was as nice as pie and this thinking might reflect how i would reply.
Well, in an effort to be less forgettable, I've added an avatar. I too remember people by their avatar.
<-------------------------My baby.
