Willie Nelson is not 85. I think he's more like 77. Splitting hairs, I know.

Show me a beautiful married woman and I'll show you a guy who's tired of poking her.
There are actual physical causes of ED, but the biggest cause in an otherwise healthy male is familiarity.

Well, that depends on what the meanings of "are" are.
Huh?

I remember as an early teen listening to the Beatle's "Across the Universe."
This was probably 1973 or 1974. The great refrain in that song is the haunting "Nothing's gonna change my world, nothing's gonna change my world."
I would sing along, but feel very sad, because I knew that something was about to change my world in a big way (come 1975).
I also felt a little guilty when I sang it, because I didn't really want my world to change, but three days a week at the KH that's all we talked about.

"Jehovah Unmasked" by Nathaniel Merritt Now Available as Free PDF
by BabaYaga ini ordered this book and read it a few years ago, and it resonated greatly with me.
i don't agree with all of it, but i haven't found many books that i agree with 100%, particularly those dealing with the bible.. i have recommended this book before on this forum for those questioning the logistics of the bible (genesis in particular) and i have just discovered that nate has offered the book now as a free pdf.
(incidentally, nate used to post here at jwd/jwn a few years ago, but that was before my time.).

Too bad C.T. Russell and Merritt were not contemporaries, they would have made quite a pair. I'll have to go to the library and read up on Gnosticism before I can determine how deep is the doo-doo.

Things That Matter and Things That Don't
by AllTimeJeff inbeing a jehovah's witness at any time and at any level is a major head f*ck.
the reason is that it obscures what is important and causes you to focus on what doesn't matter.. i've moved on from my jw experience.
it's a shame that i found myself a born in, taught to focus on things that don't matter.

When will the crashing and burning of this organization begin?
by easyreader1970 inas i see it, there are three looming threats that all have the potential - individually or combined - to bring the wbts to its knees, at least in the united states, anyway.. 1. youth retention.
the young people aren't buying it.
the watchtower will argue that faithless young people are giving in to demonic persuasion and leaving the truth.

I was never DF'ed, I wasn't abused, I never lost a loved one to the ban on blood
by OnTheWayOut instrange title, huh?.
the point is that i wasn't "burned" in some incredible way by wts and i don't carry a huge chip on my shoulder from some incredible injustice from wts or the local elders.. i say this because some people have constantly accused me of being really screwed over by my experience because of my comments on others' threads.
i explained myself there for my reasons, but wanted to repeat what those reasons are here in my own thread.. i explained on some post somewhere that i had felt that i experienced "divine intervention" in my life at one time and that same intervention ended my suicide attempt.

Being raised a JW can be thought of as a certain type of child abuse. It saps you of all your ambition at an early age.That's a terrible burden to put on a child.
I remember thinking early on, "Why bother trying to make anything of myself, when I'm probably gonna end up as bird food anyway?"
I went through the motions of being a child JW, but I knew in my heart (or gut) that Jehovah knew I was just going through the motions, and didn't deserve life after the Big A.
So, other than getting off on the wrong foot, so to speak, I was never really burned by the JWs. That feeling in my gut kept me from ever getting baptised, so I was able to quietly walk away. I've been playing "catch up" in life ever since.
If nothing else, coming up a JW gave me some discipline at an early age. I've mostly been respectful of others, and know how to fake sincerity, which is the hallmark of being a JW (sorry, just had to throw a zinger).
I can't complain. I'm in good health for my age. I've got a good job. I've never been hungry, cold, or without shelter a day in my life. I've made love to some beautiful women along the way. I've seen the Mona Lisa in person (and Elvis Presley).
My biggest regret is that I've displayed some moments of unkindness to others, even on this board. For that I am truly sorry.

I no longer let the WTBS define me. I'm just a guy trying to get through this thing, whatever it is. They are delusional.
