  You mean not everyone does this?
  
  I talk to myself all the time, often out loud. I also "rehearse" conversations in my head with other people so I'm prepared for when they happen.

  It was a Memorial 2003 (I think~maybe 2002)
  
  I had stopped going to all meetings two yeras early when I was attempting very sincerly to get reinstated and they threatned to DF my much loved Grandmother if she continued to LOOK at me during the meetings. They also told her that I was not to sit next to her and she was not to share her songbook with me.
  
  Anyway, for the next 2 years I only attended the memorial to please my mother, the last one was ridiculus. As I'm sitting there (in the back row of course ;-), I'm looking at everyone in the hall. The guys my age (early twenties) that I used to know where trying their hardest NOT to look at me, the girls were glaring at me, elder's wives were examining my outfit, elders were pretending I wasn't there, the little kids were to trying to talk to me (and quickly stopped of course). As the memorial started you could see the glazed looks come into everyone's eyes.
  
  That was it for me! Why did I ever want to be included with them? They weren't happy, they were miserable and tried to make everyone else feel the same way.

  17 Days: One Final Adventure

  by Merry Magdalene in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  Men vs. Women (Fluff but funny)

  by TweetieBird in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me.

  the first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth.

  Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix:
  
  The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent.
  
  There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."
  
  The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca and Gary. THE STORY: (first paragraph by Rebecca)
  
  At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.
  
  (second paragraph by Gary)
  
  Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
  
  (Rebecca) He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.
  
  (Gary) Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dimwitted, wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty through the Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty, the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.
  
  (Rebecca) This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semiliterate adolescent.
  
  (Gary) Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F--KING TEA??? Oh no, what am I to do? I'm such an air-headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!"
  
  (Rebecca) Asshole.
  
  (Gary) Bitch
  
  (Rebecca) F__K YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!
  
  (Gary) Go drink some tea - whore.
  
  (TEACHER) A+ - I really liked this one.
  
  
  Hope this worked.
  I also have a Mac just above the subit post button uncheck the "HTML" and check the "AUto Cr/Lf" before subitting a post.

  alopecia

  by BlackSwan of Memphis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello all.. ok i'm wondering if anyone here has ever had to deal with alopecia which is bascially loss of hair.. the reason i ask is because we have noticed that our 6 year old daughter's hair seems much thinner.

  at first we thought it was just because she was getting ahold of the scissors and giving herself a trim.

  but we are both (her dad and i) noticing that it seems like its just plain thin and that there is hair in her bed in the morning when she gets up.. i just noticed when she got out of the bath that it seems thinner at the root area.

  I just remembered, when our bodies are under stress the hair might not experience it for a few months because of the dormant phases of growth it goes thru. Usually within a few weeks (6 is sticking in my head for some reason) it will start to fill in again.
