I'm new to this board too, only been coming here a week or so, and have been made to feel very welcome. Please don't be afraid of the Internet; the only people who want you to be afraid of it are people who don't want you to be able to make free, informed choices. As you're still associated with the JWs, I guess you experience quite a lot of fear when you do anything approaching 'independent thought'. It's worth just acknowledging this fear and then maybe asking what sort of people use fear as a weapon to control other people.

Hope you find this board supportive and informative, and don't let the fear get to ya!

Hugs!

I saw Bob Dylan last nite

by ashitaka in

i saw bob dylan last nite and he rocked.

his voice and manner were amazing.

he played a 10 minute version of tangled up in blue.

Saw him at a festival in London about six years ago - amazing eyes, glimmering and glittering in a darkly knowing sort of way. The Pogues were on the same bill and the whole day rocked. Forgottn who else was on the bill owing to copious amounts of lager being imbibed.

What do I hate? Stupidity.
Why do I hate it? Coz it's stupid.
What do I do about it? Drink a lot of beer and act stupid. It's called infiltration and all done in the name of research, I assure you.

er...i got this.. london, nov 15 (reuters) - lloyd's of london, the global insurance market, said on thursday it will not quote for several risks proposed to them by the watchtower bible tract society(wts).. the 300 year old insurance market, facing its biggest ever single loss of 1.3 billion pounds ($1.87 billion) from the november 11th attacks on the world trade centre has apparently adopted a safety first approach.. a lloyds representative said we were prepared to quote for their buildings insurance but there were certain aspects of the deal we could not entertain.

he added they wanted us to insure them against the financial consequences of making false prophecies.

we were advised that this may not be viable in view of the past history.

ChimpGirl

Hysterical! What a brilliant piece of parody! Poor ole Celtic 4 falling for it - don't be discouraged in your good work, Marky love. Says a lot about your view of the Borg that they would try to insure themselves against false prophecy. Bet they'd do it if they could!

adam was walking around the garden of eden feeling very lonely, so god asked adam, 'whats wrong with you?

'' adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.

god said he was going to give him a companion and it would be a woman.

Eve was wandering around the Garden of Eden, feeling lonely. All of the other creatures had mates, but she was the only one of her kind. So she spoke to God and asked for a companion.

'Well,' said God, 'I can provide you with a man. He will be strong and will do all the heavy carrying and digging work, he will be uncomplicated and easy to please, but I'm afraid he will also leave loin cloths lying around all over the place, snore, scratch his nuts and become obsessed with kicking balls around.'

Eve thought about it for a bit and, having weighed it up, gave God the go-ahead to create man.

'One more thing', said God. 'He'll have an inflated sense of self-importance, he won't like it that you were here first, so let's keep it our secret, just between us girls.'

care to give me definitions?

of course your never completely there with the answer, until .... sorry, definitions, my mind runs away with me sometimes, a mans best friend is a dog?!!.

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy?.

ChimpGirl

Well, man's best friend isn't going to be a sea monkey, is it? I mean, I bought the sea monkey kit, waiting excitedly for them to start dancing around in their top hats, and all they did was slowly simmer to death on my window cill throughout the summer months. No, I'm sure much more interaction and entertainment is to be had in the company of a dog.

Besides, dogs, like men, can be kept happy for hours on end chasing a ball around a field.
