"At my school, homosexuals do immoral things in full view of other kids and think nothing of it." - Michael, 15.
Sounds like this kid has locker room fantasies.
ok. i've just read this in the march 2006 - i reckon its an out and out lie and i challenge anyone to find a school where this is happening.. this is in the young people ask section:.
'how can i say no to sex at school?'.
"every day, kids are talking about sex.

i'm quite new here, so i apologize if this topic has been covered.. the reason i ask this,, i was raised in the midwest.
a majority(more than 50%) of the children at the local congregation were homeschooled.. the end result was that these homeschooled kids had social problems, found it difficult making and keeping friends and were completely out of touch with the world.. as these kids became adults, rarely did they stay on as witnesses and usually went to the other extreme,, you know the old saying,, sex drugs and rock n' roll..
A couple kids were homeschooled in my hall and so I felt like it was the cool thing to do. I was spending almost every non-meeting night afterschool at a local dance studio and homework was really preventing me from dancing. So I told my parents I wanted to homeschool so I can pioneer. I believe I aux-pioneered maybe for one month. But I turned 16 and started working.
Honestly, I don't think it was a wise choice. After getting kicked out of my parents house for coming out to them I didn't finish school. It took till I was 19 and moved out here to California to get my GED, get on my feet, and then finally enrolled in a community college at 22.
whilst christians like to portray jesus as the supreme example of love and mercy ( as opposed to a supposedly wicked 'watchtower god' ), does the bible's presentation of jesus cast him in quite the same flattering light that christians like to believe?
for instance, at revelation 19:15 jesus is described as 'smiting the nations and ruling them with a rod of iron and treading the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty god.
' does jesus sound just as bad as the 'wicked watchtower god'?
I already have a friend named Jesus.

OMG we have so many of these at my office.
the story is beyond excellent.
every line is so well crafted and the story, published in the new yorker magazine in 1997, is much more than two young men falling in love.
one of the major themes of the movie is fear.
Uhhhh......they both assume the position?
HAHAHA!
I agree especially after seein what has to be one of the most unflattering sex scenes in gay cinema.
i casually mentioned to my jw friend yesterday that the local paper carried the ap article on jws.
he asked what it was about.
i just said "something about the changes in the blood policy over the years.
Or hopefully he doesn't think the article is a product of Satan's media attacking the borg.
i was peacefully reading an old copy of stephen cox' article "can the truth survive the internet", and all of a sudden i realize that the instrumental music playing is the d*mn kingdom melodies.
it was actually pretty good.
it was that instrumental cd released sometime back with a lot of harp, piano, and woodwinds in it.
So I guess the subliminal messages didn't take hold of you.

We had an elder that would arrange basketball every saturday afternoon and open it to 3 or 4 congregations. I'm not good at it but my parents made me go a few times for the good association. Afterwards people would usually go to dinner or out to the movies. There was also a MS that had three teenage kids and he would hold little parties at his house a couple times a year.
When I was wanting out, I used to use basketball as an excuse to hang out with my "worldly" friends. My parents trusted me a lot so I would tell them I was going to basketball and then get in a school friend's car about a block away. It all fell apart when one day my mom decided to surprise me after basketball and pick me up for dinner. I usually said I took off with the brothers to dinner. So when the game was over and I never came out she was pissed. Of course she said, "Jehobah wanted me to find you out."

but these on this site are hilarious - "let's scare them out of hell" seems to be their theme:.

Some of our maintenance workers leave the Spanish version of these tracts in the kitchen all the time. I promptly remove them.
I also find tracts like these (but not chick) in Russian on my windshield. I live in a Russian neighborhood.
i actually always thought i had a pretty good hand on what was happening online.
then the other day someone mentioned this place called myspace.com and i thought it was something new and went there.
it seems to be the happening place online now and has been around for a long time.
It's a huge marketing tool owned by Newscorp (FOX). But I still use it. It's great to post little posts that goto your friends such as: "I have no plans this weekend. Anyone have any ideas?" Then people can get back to you at their leisure.
