  I love Judge Judy, I tape it every day so I can watch it after work, I have been watching Judge Judy from day one.

  I love it when she says ( Don't pee on my leg and then tell me its raining).

  They are giving my kids notebooks for the special assembly. Why?

  by Check_Your_Premises in

  now if they were only giving them to my children, i would raise cain, because it is an obvious attempt to imply that they have to provide what i am not.

  it is also an influence ploy, in that by giving them a gift, it obligates them to use the gift.. but they gave them to all the kids and everyone at the book study.

  the sweet part was that i actually showed up.

  This is not normal, but they could be doing it to encourage young ones to go to the SAD and take notes. This will help to keep them from getting distracted during the program.

  Why write a letter of disassociation?

  by tfsm in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my question may seem vague but if one decides to leave "the organization", why write a formal letter?

  why not just leave and not have any further contact with the witnesses?

  is there some legitimate legal reason for this or do people do this because the witness thinking has overtaken their logic?

  I think a DA letter allows people to say things that they have not been able to say before. it gives you a chance to "speak your peace" and finally let your feelings be known and your voice heard after years of always being told what to feel, and think.

  Also it allows the writer the chance to say "it is over". When you fade you are still in and the brothers may call you and pester you and you also feel like a fraud ( at least I do) knowing that you haven't made a stand and that you are just floating on. When you DA you know what you stand for and you know the momment you write your letter that there is no going back and you have finally said where you stand and what you are all about.

  i know things would have been different if i had not been raised as a dub.

  since i left the borg, i've been making up for lost time, but still did not fully become what i wanted to be.

  i wanted to be an artist... i do some artwork, but it's only a small part of what i do for a living.. how about you?

  Reality TV and talk shows infuriate me.

  by Low-Key Lysmith in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  imo, they are no different a form of entertainment than the gladiatorial arena fights of ancient rome.

  i actually feel that they are more sinister because they attack people on an emotional level.

  jerry springer, dr. phil, the real world, survivor, elimidate, all are full of nothing but catty, bitchy women and douchebag frat boys or people cheating on one another, or a panel of celebrity "judges" who do nothing but get laughs by ruthlessly insulting other people.

  You and I like the same things!!!

  I love Oprah, not only is her show entertaining but I think that in a lot of cases it is also educational. She talks about things that sometimes are swept under the carpet and to be honest I feel that she is trying to help to make the world a little better.

  I also like doctor Phil but don't get to watch him very often because of my job.The only soap that i watch every day is Passions on NBC ( I am addicted).

  I have not been a fan of reality tv because some of those shows are disgusting, I can't even watch the ads for them without feeling sick, having said that a few weeks ago I stumbled on a show on VH1 called Breaking Bonaduce (spelling?), and I must say that I am hooked.

  So, are you, by nature, and introvert or extrovert?

  by onacruse in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mulan's thread, and simon's post thereto, got me to thinking about this, especially in terms of what i might be today, minus the influence of the wts.. by nature, i was always an introvert.

  early on (age 10 or so), i immersed myself in mathematics, physics, chemistry...the "pure" sciences, devoid of "worldly" meaning...just the plain and simple facts, thank you ma'am.

  i'd stay in my room and study stuff until my mom had to literally grab me by the ear and say "craig, go outside and blow off the stink!.

  Well I'm with Low-key on this, I am an extrovert, I like talking to people and can start a conversation with someone that I don't even know. However if I am placed with people that I don't like or that make me uneasy I will "shut down", not because I am an introvert but because I either do not trust the people I am with or because I do not like them.

  I wasn't always an extrovert as a child I liked to be by myself and really did not welcome other children in my life, however I could alwas start a conversation with someone years older than me, it wasnt until I was sixteen that I really began to feel okay in social situations and now it is my nature to walk into a room and try and make friends with the people that I meet.
