There are alot of things that gross me out about the opposite sex even though I'm not gay. Yeast infection!?! Ick!

I'm sure women aren't too jazzed up about the thought of jock itch.

What ya'll are saying is that because you find a yeast infection gross you can't accept a woman for who she is. It's gross and evil. See how silly you look?

" Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. She's baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough..........a little extra cheese on the taco"!

a line from another movie, me myself and Irene. The funniest part for me was when Hank played by Jim Carrey displaced the breastfeeding baby, and had a good suckle himself. At the time that movie came out I was a voluntary breastfeeding counsellor,......that tickled me!

I'll be going to see gorgeous Heathy baby................"mmm tacos!"

(no I'm not a lesbian, just doing a Homer Simpson line)

It's a movie, not all movies appeal to all people, if you don't like it don't go and see it.

GB -> unprofessional

by DannyBloem in

when i read some post on this board, they give me the feeling thet the gb are some crooked pure evil demons.

i do not believe this, for the following reasons:.

first of all i think that the issues that come out are actually few, if you compare it to the number of things printed, done etc.. like the un thing.

deeskis

Hi Danny

I agree with your sentiment that individual members may not be crooked or "bad". I just finished reading Ray Franz COC, and he also said some similar things in their individual defence......

HOWEVER..............

As a group that is supposed to be Gods channel, or intermediary I think that they do not have the human characteristic of being allowed to make mistakes.

to describe the UN debacle as being a stupid mistake is on a par with describing Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a "July 4th firecracker"

They misled, covered up, caused countless distress to many people, and they cannot and should not be trusted again.........

JWs knock on my door three times in one week

by Sirona in

my husband is off work at the moment recovering from a double hernia operation.

the jws knocked one day and our friend, who was here doing a bit of painting for us, answered the door and simply told them he wasn't the householder.. then at the weekend, early on a saturday morning, they knocked again.

i was in my nightclothes and had only just gotten up, or i would have answered.

deeskis

Hey Sirona,

I get the witnesses to my door two or three times a year, I don't get into a conversation, just tell them that my family are witnesses and I get the literature from them (actually, that's a LIE, in 25 years my parents and sister have never once given me a mag or tract.........thank G. However they have given my kids the book of bible stories, (little acorns?)

Anyway maybe you're sending out the wrong aura??!.........see my post http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/106952/1858904/post.ashx#1858904

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.

I'm in an amateur singing group, and we do lots of stuff around Christmas, - Nursing homes, local community group parties, Carols by Candlelight on our village green etc. Amazing Grace is one of our favourites, I sing it with two others in a three part harmony, always brings out the tissues!!

This Christmas my youngest, ten year old girl was involved with us. We sang the Boney M medley Mary's Boy Child/Oh my Lord. I held back and just did a little backing vocals. She brought the house down. Going on to bigger things me thinks!

BTW we were in Queensland last week and Saw Barnsey at Twin Towns, What a voice, it was a big sing-along...........loved it!

Hope you didn't overimbibe in that "overproof Bundy" over Christmas

Fate or Coincidence

by deeskis in

i was wondering if others have experienced the strange pull of jw'ism in their life.

i know that it is a minority religion and yet i seem to come across it so much.

consider some examples of this:.

deeskis

Thanks everyone for replying.

Hey Josie, I reckon it was meant to be, hope you're still together. By the way, where do the dubs come in, in that scenario?

Ozzie, the school nurse was scottish, saw my sisters sirname and asked who her father was.....

the employer commented at the job interview that he valued christian principles in employees, in fact his wife........etc.

the babysitter......she looked after my first baby a few times, born in may. I probably left the baby first when she was around four months old, september, another time I needed a sitter would have been closer to Christmas and I think I asked her about her families plans for the festive season, I can still remember my surprise (shock, horror) when she told me they did not celebrate as they were witnesses!! It was her that told me that there were other witnesses living a few doors up from us.

My friend in the mothers' group was raised a witness, the group was making christmas cards one morning. which resulted in a christmas type conversation. that's when I found out about her background.

My neighbour, (children's teacher), was over for coffee one day and whinging about how her mother was neglecting her and her kids as she devoted so much time to the Jay Dubs, they had taken over her life...I nearly choked on my coffee!!

My son's best friend spends most weekends at our place, his father committed suicide a few years back. (they're 14 now). His mother was talking with me about how that had affected the family dynamics. Her sister being a twin is very close to her, and the boy spends a significant amount of time with his aunt and cousins (witness's), they have been to my house on a number of occasions to drop him off, or collect him.....

so they examples I gave are not "seven degrees of separation" - (btw I loved that movie!), not somebody's auntie, who knew somebodies cousin, who was a JW. They are all people directly involved in my "daily grind"

To be fair, the instances have happened over a 20 year period, but I still feel that there is a significant WOW factor..........?!

has anyone an angle on the "aura" suggestion that my other friend, (to be fair, she was not really a friend, but an aquaintance, as I knew she attended a spiritualist church and I was a bit freaked about that!), mentioned to me? cause if there's something I can do to change that aura, I'd like to know..........!!

Hi Wombat

as far as I know it is. That's the song my parents got my daughter to compose on their mobile phone for a ring tone. Now all their friends in the cong want it too!

I also liked "keep your eyes on the prize". I can still appreciate a nice song, but I agree with an earlier comment that most of the songs are about obedience rather than praise.

beards not a rule but!!!

by frogit in

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4666132.stm .

this caught my eyes and reminded me when as a ministerial servant that we had to go into the back room for instructions from the po (not very clever man), he tried his best to explain to us ms and elders about the wearing of beards in the congregation.

he must have gone on and on for 30 minutes about not having beards, but kept impressing that this was not a rule, but beards should not be worn, but its not a rule, just dont expect to have any privileges if you grow one on your face and wear it (sounds like you wear it like a tie he he) but we are not making it a rule, just dont wear a beard.

"soul chip" eh?!

in Australia we call it a "flavour saver"! lol

Hi everyone

I was wondering if others have experienced the strange pull of JW'ism in their life. I know that it is a minority religion and yet I seem to come across it so much. consider some examples of this:

To set the scene elder dad resigned, the family mum and five kids stopped attending meetings for six months then moved to australia.

1. within a few weeks my young sister now at school in Oz had to visit the school nurse who ended up being a JW who knew my dad previously in the old country. So we were invited to their place for a BBQ and of course to the local meeting......I passed!

2. My dad went for a job interview and at the interview the employer said that he valued christian principles in his employees, and that in fact his wife was one of Jehovah's Witness's. My dad was blown away........."it's a sign, and started attending meetings with my mum again.

3. My husband and I moved to a small town 2 hours away. five thousand people. a contact through his work offered to babysit for us. She turned out to be a JW, ended up like a surrogate gran to my kids.

4. We bought land and built next door to a teacher at my kids school who's mother is a JW.

5. JW's live four houses away on the other side.

6. my husband and I became good friends with a family, I had met the woman through a mothers group. Her parents are JW's.

7. My son's best friend's mother is a twin. The twin and her family are JW's.

Whaddya reckon?? I once mentioned this to a woman I know who is into chanelling, personal angel guides etc. She said that I was putting out some sort of aura attracting witness's and those related to them.

anyone else got a theory, or had similar experiences.
