  Yeah. I remember seeing that pic awhile back.

  Still always makes me laugh though. And a bit turned on.

  JW's 'tattling' on each other - an ugly culture.

  by Gregor in

  when i was an elder i often was approached by publishers who wanted to report some kind of bad conduct by a brother or sister.

  this led to all kinds of unpleasant, unloving situations.

  the first question of the accused was always "who told you this?

  The girl I had been best friends since we were little girls tattled to her elder father when she saw me coming out of my boyfriend's house one day back when I was 17. But I guess that was the best thing to ever happen to me because the way I was treated during those damn "judicial meetings" finally gave me the courage to listen to my heart. So hello "apostate sites" Boy, I started clicking away after that!

  Me and this girl were like sisters. We even shared our first kiss-with each other!

  I never, ever tell my buisness to anyone and all those that know my buisness- I know theirs too.

  The best thing to do is just choose to not have any "friends" in the hall.

  JDarley,

  You're only 16? Girl you're so young! But I guess you're in love and I was there once. Actually, at 22 I think I'm still there now.

  Anyway, if you are just studying for your boyfriend's approval which I am guessing you are because I did not stop bugging my bf when I was 17 till he finally caved in and started studying; then I urge you to stop while you're ahead.

  But only you know yourself. As far as the rules.. yeah basically what everyone is saying:

  -no petting of body parts, oral sex, sex period (but duh), touching of privates, gotta be careful about being too affectionate in public, etc.

  Think of a nun being in a relationship with the Pope.

  Black History Month? Is it separation or just realistic?

  2. friends

  so i got to thinking after seeing 60 minutes this last week.

  morgan freeman said black history month is "ridiculous" and pointed out that it keeps african-americans seperated from other americans.

  i guess my thinking is that the school text books haven't really changed since i was in school.

  Ms McDcuket,

  Goodness. You took my post chopped it up and completely miscrewed everything I said. Never did I say that people who happen to be middle aged at the local Job fairs that I go to have no right to be there.

  It just seems like whenever one of our own has something negative against our people were considered a "sell-out" as they used to call it. Its like one jumps on the "angry black man" bandwagon and we all got to jump aboard. Like the Tookie incident. I was completely against the whole "Save Tookie" thing. I should of just kept my mouth shut about it in Psych class because I swear every black student in that room looked like they wanted me hanged. The man murdered a bunch of innocent people and aint no amount of anti-violence childrens' books in the world that can compensate for that. I say quit spoiling the black man. they get themselves in mess and we always there to get them out of it. But that is wayyy off topic. Sorry.

  
  As for the spinners?? LOL. Actually I was speaking about the black community in general. I was thinking about how I am tired of dating brothers who got the latest Nextel cell phones, Rocawear clothes and spinners on their car but they live in their mama basement complaining about how its "the white man" that keeping them down??

  In no way were any of my comments directed to you. We don't even know each other so how could I? All I know is I've had to throw hands more than once back in high school because some american chick would say a racist comment against my heritage.Here is a girl whose got the same skin tone as mine, same hair texture, same big ol' lips and I've gotta rumble with her after school for what? Because of her ignorance. I had cousins who came here from haiti that I had to constantly make sure nobody was messing with them because I knew how many of the kids would make fun of some of the immigrant kids and there poor english and different style of dress. Not the white kids which you'd think you would expect. . (Perhaps, this is so shocking to you but keep in mind-I was in West Palm/Miami area. So my school was extremely diverse and we had new students from Cuba, haiti, Jamaica, etc coming in throughout the year.) I gotta watch my cousins back from my own people- people who should of understood the most. I'm sitting in after-school detetion for what? Cause my own "sista" has just reminded me that in my world-I aint got no "sista"

  Most black Americans just don't want to admit they can discriminate against their own kind at times. That's whats embaressing.

  If she is not willing to fight than maybe she is not the one. Perhaps you should evaluate where her heart is really at.

  Even if you really do get her to change her viewpoint you may have to constantly fight with her over the DUB ways for the rest of your lives. And you know the elders will be on you guys like a hawk from here on end.

  Really, think about this. Think of the long run, not just of tomorrow.

  JW dead at 83- duped for his entire life

  by moshe in

  i saw an obituary last week- and elder i knew from the beginning had died- a faithful jw dub to the end.. he was baptised in 1939. his parents were part of the russell movement and died claiming to be annointed.

  i just wondered how anyone could spend his entire life being duped by the watchtower propaganda.

  i left so many tracts at his kh in 1989-90, that they posted a guard in the parking lot to keep me from hand billing the cars.

  I see that happenning with my own parents. My mother is so into the DUB ways its heart-wrenching to see her sometimes.

  But that is where they find their comfort. Sometimes ignorance can be bliss.

  MsMcDucket,

  They know nothing about black history and the civil rights movement?? Screw black history because it all centers around is black american history.

  My high school textbooks were filled with black movers and shakers like Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks. But what about Marcus Garvey,from Kingston Jamaica who started the entire civil rights movement from the very beggining!? Before all these other people were even born Marcus was fighting for our rights. Jean-Claude?! Who led an army against the English when they attempted to turn Haiti into a slave country?? Nobody here's about them.

  And DUH! Black immigrants do take the jobs that the americans won't. My mother came to this country at 19 years old who barely could speak a word of english and cleaned public restrooms while she worked her way towards a college degree. But you got middle aged black folks up in the Job Fairs fighting for $6/ hour cashier jobs that I should be getting. I'm the full time college student! You had your chance! What were you doing for the past ten years?! And I'm always the youngest person there. I'm sorry but thats just embaressing.

  I hate to be critical but hey-spending your money on the latest spinners for your Toyota Camry and Baby Phat tank tops aint gonna mean nothing in the next 10 years. That's what I always remember.

  GOOD 4 U!

  Perhaps I will start reading it at Borders this week. I find that if you find a quiet little place in a corner nobody bothers you about buying a book first before reading it.

  You know how us college students are both oh so poor. And cheap.
