so i've been here now about 4 months and about to be upgraded from a newbie.
(woohooo!!!).
and since i didn't get to go to college and a host of other things (i really wonder just how good of a baseball player i could have been).
Great idea freedomlover ! ( except maybe the stripping...or who knows, get enough alcohol in me..)
I could point out the JW's, announce who they are and mention they're shunning me. Oh to dream! What song to dedicate? Welcome to the Jungle
Would you like me if that was me? It's not, but very well could be. I play, sing and look similar. (w/o the beard) My pic will be up soon.

I've decided I'm going to pursue something I couldn't have done as a Dub...I'm going to bartending school tomorrow!!!
I can't wait 'til the elders on my former body visit the local watering hole after a meeting and see me behind the bar!
What do you think the tip will be like? ( I mean just how much do you tip a blasphemer?)
Since this post is a sort of milestone I'd like to thank all of you for your input and support. I'm so grateful your all here!!
My love to you all !!!! -Onesong

Thanks Richie ! I got the CoC set on my desktop.
I like it when you get bored!
long story short -- my father-in-law and uncle-in-law came today to buy some appliances from a friend of ours.
while my father-in-law seemed willing to stretch the "necessary family business" clause to its limits to talk and joke and be basically human, my uncle was cold as a witch's dead penguin.
if i said anything to him related to the task at hand, he answered as minimally as possible.
Congrats Almostatheist--there ain't nuthin like your first shunnin'
Cheers!
let's say you have 20 seconds (give or take) to make an impression on a jw.
to say something that will stick in their head and make them really think.
because you know, that once they realize you are an apostate, they will shut down anything else that you have to say.. what do you say?.
By the way BlackSwan I loved your DA letter. I remember it well. Any response to it from anyone significant?

If faith is required then how can you be right and everyone else wrong? Wouldn't that be fact?
i don't know why this has popped into my head.
just wondering about j/w weddings.. is there music?
are there any traditions used in the ceremony?
The wedding talks of JW's have got to be one of the most inane and degrading processes known to man.
Every one I've ever heard is an instruction talk, all the do's and don'ts.(If these people haven't figured this stuff out before today their gonna have some problems.)
There's always some stupid, humiliating joke about the woman's "time of the month" (I always wanted to scream when I heard this, I can't imagine how you women felt.)
Then there's the "squeezing the toothpaste tube" conundrum that's inevitably going to be brought up.
And of course it's "subjection, subjection, subjection."
Can any couple really remember their talk? (if it wasn't recorded) Who's actually listening?
I was 23 years old, still very much a virgin and was thinking " I'm actually going to have sex tonight!".
the fact that nimrod's name means: "he stirred up the whole earth to rebel"
and yet ezra's name means: "help"
what caused nimord's mother to name him something that had such a negative meaning and yet he turned out to be just that?
Thanks Tetrapod, that was great work. How can anyone honestly argue with that?
Here's one from Paul that I haven't seen the Society comment on:
2 Cor.12:2 "I know a man in union with Christ who, fourteen years ago-whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know; God knows-was caught away as such to the third heaven."
