I'm for and against, depending on the circumstance. (I'm very indecisive!). Ultimately, I come down on the pro-choice side, but I don't think it should ever be used as a 'fall-back' measure if people can't be responsible enough to used contraception (and this is def the case with some people...)
There are lots of issues surrounding the whole debate too, like the morning-after pill etc...

One of the 144,000
by out of the box ini wanted to share this story.. we were (many years ago) going out in service.
i was in the car with annointed one driving, his wife and the person who had 'brought me into the faith' and my daughter.
we went through an intersection where this old man (annointed one) was not paying attention.

I didn't know women could be annointed..,? My memory of these things isn't that fantastic - it's been a long time since I was 'in' and this board has brought back memories that had been filed away in the darkest recesses of my mind!

Person from the stone age
by greendawn inif you met someone from the stone age of five thousand years ago, that was resurrected to live in our times and world what would you say and do for him/her?
.
remember our world with all the recent inventions of the last 100 years or so will be unrecognizable to them.

I would let him/her watch 'Les Visiteurs' (sp.?) and hope that he/she would see the connection!

Movies to make a JW THINK
by M.J. ini've heard various suggestions of movies to show a dub.. those of us with a spouse / family in the borg might find it pretty useful to rent such movies as just another way of chipping away at the indoctrination, or drawing attention to the wts control tactics.. one movie i saw which was somewhat helpful was one called "equilibrium", which was suggested on this board a while back.
its about a society that has acheived peace and order by requiring everyone to repress their emotions through sedatory drugs.
the good thing about this one was when it showed how everyone was so indoctrinated to follow the directives of the organization in charge, with every person keeping an eye on everyone else.

I'd love to see "Uitgesloten". Does anyone know if it's available on DVD (with English subtitles)?

witnoid weddings
by katiekitten inwhen i was a kid weddings in the troof were a big deal.
probably because they were the main if not only excuse for a knees up.
if someone was getting married they were not in control of the decisions about the reception.

yes, cream or 'ivory' (whatever the hell that is) for the 'experienced'. woe betide the bride if the cream or ivory was a little too gleaming. strangely, the groom wasn't obliged to advertise his 'status' through the medium of colour...

Can inactives be D/F'd?
by tabbycat incan inactive ex-jw's be disfellowshipped?
i've always been interested but can't ask my mother (still a jw) for fear of upsetting her.
if i was d/f'd, would it really mean that even my immediate family would 'shun' me?

I suppose posting on this is reason enough. Oh the joys of living in a totalitarian state. Fortunately, I am far from my orginal 'stomping ground' and my family are too (though nowhere near me sadly). Thanks for the advice. It's hard to keep up with all of this 'new light' (the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades).
