  What do you _really_ think?

  by daystar in

  quite often we maintain a polite silence about others when we'd really like to tell them to shut the hell up, that they're pompous, or ignorant, or simply a pain in the ass.

  "god, i can't stand reading any of his posts.

  or, perhaps we really would like to say something really nice about someone, perhaps even a bit personal.

  Well Daystar,

  I have read some of the comments and everyone seems to know you better then me so I will leave it at that ... but I could relate to the earlier comments of anxiety regarding meeting at an Apostatefest. My first one was last weekend at Hemp's. I was a little apprehensive at first but it turned out to be a great experience. However I can see why a person would not want to start off with a party like that.

  So if you want to get just a few of the Dallasite posters to meet up at a Chilli's or something in town for their famous molten chocolate cake with ice cream topper then just let me know. I'll risk my ass getting big for the occasion.

  Many Smiles ....

  I LOVEEEE yoga.

  My advice for what it's worth is to try them all. Read all about the different types and ask questions before and after class. Figure out what you would like to get out of it (more meditative or exercise or both). If you are a little fearful of just walking into a class then try out the DVDs first for a introduction. And most of all have fun!

  Too bad you don't live around here ... I would go to your first class with you.

  Well, I really don't like to be catagorize as any certain thing or put under any certain group heading. With that said I do believe in spirituality (for lack of a better word). I read and have read everything from christian to buddhist to hindu to mystical stuff to taoism (which I am enjoying right now). I like to stay open to and enjoy all the possibilities. And believe in what ever feels right in that regard for the moment knowing that it may change tomorrow. Open to everything but attached to nothing.

  And as far as 'opinions(beliefs)' go ... they seem to be like assholes ... everybody has 'em.

  So I just try to enjoy and honor each person's belief/opinion and live my own momentary belief authentically.

  There was a certain euphoria about being blind (and then the blinders came off )!!!

  What is wrong with me?

  i just went out for only the second time in the last three months since i broke my leg - to socialise - for a meal with a girl i haven't seen for a year.

  she kept saying nice stuff about me and how she liked me and so on.

  so why do i feel so dreadful and didn't believe her..

  Just thought I would put in my 2 cents. Keep in mind pennies don't buy anything these days.

  I use to have problems accepting compliments (at times still do). I even had an x that would remind me when he gave me a compliment that the appropriate response was "thank you".

  With that said ... I had to come to love myself and sincerely see my beauty inside and out (including my 'weaknesses') before I let go of my suspicions of other's compliments and before I could truly let their compliments sink in when they said them. I feel this is even a bigger struggle at times in the female world with females who are considered as being attractive physically. I always viewed the people who complimented me as superficial or unsincere or like "what do u know". But now that I am in love with myself as well as try to love others this doesn't pose as much of a problem. I accept every part of me and don't judge it right or wrong it just is. So now I can sincerely agree with the compliments that I may get here and there. :-)

  I don't know if any of that fits. But that's my 2 cents.

  Big hugs *** I hope you get to feeling better soon.

  Why is everyone starting to sound so normal? I guess I am the only weird one in the bunch.

  This is the first thread that made me laugh out loud ~ so I’m game

  i’m “technically” a 35 year old black female – but really i am more of a white girl trapped in a black girl’s body

  i’m “technically” heterosexual – but my best fantasies are about being with women – and I do not plan dying without trying it at least once

  i’m “technically” exclusively dating a man right now – but i really think i put up with his crap because he makes allot of money

  i love to walk around the house in the nude even though i am just now becoming comfortable with the size of my own ass

  i use to be a topless dancer and would still be one if the business hadn’t gotten so flooded with women

  i don’t think i really want to settle down with one man (or woman for that matter) EVER ~ technically i don’t think one could put up with me for that long or me them

  i took my 97 saturn in for an oil change yesterday and found out it was bone dry of oil. i have no real interest in cars

  i don’t listen to music in the car because the sound of the thoughts in my head are so much more entertaining

  i often look up at the clouds and yearn to be relieved of my human existence even though i have no idea what that means

  i love to masturbate and can never remember a time that i didn’t

  i was raised in a cult and went back for a second dose for a while in my late 20’s

  i don’t like most of my family members

  i constantly loose would be friends because i have no tact about saying what i see as being true

  but all in all i really like me

  Exaggerated Protection of Freedom - is there a such thing?

  by Smiles_Smiles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am wondering if this is a jw side effect.

  feel free to keep bitterness and bashing to yourself, please.. ok ... here goes ... i find that the feeling of being free after being in religious bondage for so long is so intoxicating that i have a hard time even committing relationship wise.

  that is committing in 'word' not deed.
