regret, anger frustration?
how about sadness, sorrow, sympathy, understanding, even yearning!.
it can be quite confusing at times.
I feel overwhelming pity for them, and I shun them! Id hate to have to speak to them - the ones I know anyway, because I would feel sorry for them having to make up polite conversation with me. I just cant be arsed.
Ritchie - what on earth is that photo of? It looks like the back door of a prison. Jeeezus!

Welcome Tez. This is a great board for healing and letting off steam.
actually i have a friend in mexico who wants a green card.
i cannot see any purpose in marrying a very large, spanish speaking, gay man in order to get him a green card.
but still he did learn to tell me he loves me in english.
Jeez, you are so lucky, I have never had a big gay mexican ask to marry me.
in the 16th, and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before commercial fertilizer's invention, so large shipments of manure were common.. it was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when wet, but once water (at sea) hit it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation began again, of which a by-product is menthane gas.. as the stuff was stored below decks in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen.
menthane began to build up below decks and the first time someone came below with a lantern, 'ka.........boooom!'.
several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was determined just what was happening.. after that, the bundles of manure were always stamped with the term 'ship high in transit' on them which meant for the sailors to stow it high enough off the lower decks so that any water that came into the 'hold' would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane.. thus evolved the term "s.h.i.t.

Seems to me shit has some VERY religious hidden meaning.
to understand so that's why the wts published the new book being released at this year's district conventions.. the new book gets "straight to the point".
according to her "and many others", the knowledge book was too difficult for those just beginning a bible study.
i said, "you're kidding!
Where do we get the sticks from? How do we get there? Does God bring us back for an Apostacy Tour called One Last Time? Bagsi get to beat the shit out of the paedophiles that get through (cos I can spell it, so that qualifies me). Will my stick be strong enough?
analysis of a typical congregation.
group a. percentage: 10 % .
name: the holy ones.
Group B:
We had one bloke used to come to the hall to make LOUD testimony that he was John the Baptist.
We had a bloke turn up on our door (our address & number was listed as the local JW contact). He wanted to come to the meeting because "he liked to clap". It only took my dad about 3 hours of serious study in the living room to spot him as a fruitcake - plus the 1 hour free drive home.
for decades it was always stressed (especially in one of the pubs that came out in the 70's, i think the one about the thousand years) that one of the signs of the beginning of the great tribulation would be when they started taxing religion.
in another thread we were directed to http://www.bibletopics.com/biblestudy/84a.htm about the society going to court to support jimmy swaggert.
it seems to me that maybe the society was running ahead of jehovah by doing so, and the organization started on a downward spiral since then, ultimately slapping jehovah in the face by going to bed with the un.
When I was a teenager they were always stressing that if anyone was hiding secret sins (like tongue kissing, or maybe even worse) that Jehovah would remove his spirit from the whole congragation, and we would all start fareing really badly and not be able to place magazines and stuff.
Judging them on this criteria I can only assume Joe Hoba pissed on their chips LONG ago.
in light of all the crap going on recently, i made a few phone calls and got a beach trip going!...
i know some of you are land locked and some have never seen an east coast beach, soi took a few pics!....
here's a good general picture of the beach... nothing too fancy.
Beautiful photos Ritchie. Not just snaps, but proper studies of the subject.
Is that an Elders DAUGHER??? I see you with???
i can't understand why they have put this ad up on this site, as it is only people who are not jw who look at this site (and others) so why advertise "meet single jw just like you on this site".
i thought maybe it was for single ex jw, so went into that site, and low and behold it was for jw only.
they were saying something like this "... we would like to say thank you so much brothers for this site as i have meet my wife/husband etc ....and thank you so much jehovah..".
I always thought that link was stupid too. Those ads are hilarious though - so sickeningly arselicky to Jehoba.
If the society got in on it instead of condemning it, maybe they could make a buck or two, and the added bonus of even more control over the R&F - cos they could dictate who they were allowed to date.
sooo i'm sure this has probably been asked before.
i'm newish so in the great spirit of getting to know you (sing with me) getting to know all about you......what do you do for a living and do you enjoy it and if you could would you do something different?
i'm in advertising & marketing for a group of magazines.
Im a mathematics teacher. Its bloody hard work but the holidays are great. Some of my kids are so sweet, and funny and lovely. Some are awful, and some are so damaged, its really sad.
If I could be anything I would have loved to be human rights lawyer, fighting evil, winning for the little guy, etc etc Ive been told im like Erin Brockovitvch, but i think thats just cos I like to cuss and swear a lot!
