i bite my lip when i'm upset. it's distracts me.
i also bite the insides of my cheeks, cause otherwise i clench my teeth and my jaw pops out.
i think i suffer from some kinda neurosis!??!?!

okay, this is a strange request, but i'm desperate... i have bit my lip too many times.
i bit it for the first time on sunday and have bitten it about 10 times since!
no matter how careful i am, i keep biting it!

sometimes i wonder, with the number of letters that the wt receives refuting doctrine & practices, does the gb really buy what they put out?
or are they just pushing literature and living off the collections from congregations.
i would think that if i received overwhelming evidence of the faultiness of my religion, i'd be forced by my own conscience to change or speak up or make a difference.
not that masturbation is wrong.
i've convoluted the topic haven't i?
i'll just go deal with my munchies and avoid the subject altogether.

warning, this point may be offensive to some.
i immediately thought of the old "you'll go blind" warning parents gave to masturbating teens...
you did it anyway right? but wasn't there still that fear you might actually go blind?

i know.
what were some film scenes that pleased or horrified you so much that they stayed vivid in your memory for a long time?
the one i always recall is the scene where anthony hopkins (playing as hannibal lector) lobotomised ray liotta (paul krendler) cutting off pieces of his brain and giving them to him to eat.
he also took some of liotta's cooked brain in a plane and gave them to an unsuspecting passenger boy sitting next to him to eat.
oh, and
one flew over the cuckoo's nest,
the very last scene.

the guys eyes being held open with metal brackets. that's the sole reason for my hesitation for lazer eye surgery.
i agreed with all of the winners at last night's oscar's except for the best actor award.. i would have given it to joquin phoenix.
i thought his performance as johnny cash was great.. i also thought that jon stewart did a great job.
i particularily liked the opening skits.
phillip seymour hoffman won.
he's one of my fake husbands.

inspired by one of the other threas on todays board i was remindedof what the po of my 'then' cong' said just befors i left for good.. can't remember what the subject was but he ended up quite proudly announcing.....'if jehovah asked me to.....i would have no trouble killing someone, i would find it easy'!!
stunned silence.......this man is now a circuit overseer!
the phrase 'crazed extremist' comes to mind.. what was the most unbelievable, outrageous thing that was uttered in your earshot.
are these the only aspects that characterize a wit. marriage? sex and religion? if your mate is df'ed or apostasizes, then you have to keep up the sex, cause that's all that's left. perhaps i read the context wrong.
The marriage partner would render the marriage dues according to the law of the land and in due payment for all material benefits bestowed and accepted. But to have religious communion with the disfellowshiped person

i'm on the phone as we speak, with my sister.. i told her i didn't feel like complicating my situation by implicating/involving people that are not "certified" in assessing my situation.. her reply "you are so scaring me.
you sound like you don't have jehovah's spirit...".
any thoughts on what i should say... i'm stalling.. cal.
here's a gem.
"you're being visited by satan."

OMG, i just have to add this:
"faith bridges the gap between what we understand and what we don't".
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
