  The Most Tasteless Awake Cover ?? - Feb 8th 2003

  by BluesBrother in

  this magazine was disturbing to me at the time, but i lost track of it and only recently found it .

  this is exactly as it was printed, no photo shop, i am not that clever.. it is credited to a newsagency, jan banning , panos pictures - so i do believe that she was a real child prostitute .

  there is something that gets to me even now about this picture.

  The release of this article was significant for me. When this magazine came out I decided to stop reading some articles. This then lead me to analize what depressing, terrible material I was feeding my mind with as a JW. A route call also told me that she felt my depression could be because of reading such depressing material all the time. That clinched it for me. A really nice woman with concern for my mental state, saying it like it is. A year after she said that I left the org. I also realised that due to terrible things such as these happening, I has no belief in a god who allows it for ANY reason.

  the one that got me recently is the matter of elders being removed if they encourage college education in the cong.

  where in the scriptures?

  any others that spring to mind?

  Who will ever forget the beard thing? Did anyone ever TRY to scripturalise that gem?

  Forbidden Pleasures ......

  this morning on the way to work, i burst into song.

  not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "star spangled banner".

  i just felt like singing and i wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice.

  I like pulling on my colours, going to the pub & having a few laid back beers & then shouting on my footy team. A simple pleasure that takes me back to my childhood family activities which I unfortunately sacrificed under the guise of pleasing god. Watching my dad's hface as he realises that he has me back as a normal son is fairly good as well. Thinking for myself & expressing my opinions. Telling everyone that my children & my family come 1st in my life above EVERYTHING. I just love being me again.

  Did you return to celebrating holidays?

  with this new light, i am starting to try and figure out what to do with my life and my time... now that the world is opened up for me to finally explore.. i have been wondering if i will return to celebrating the holidays with my 'worldly' relatives.

  my parents, brother, and in-laws are all witnesses.

  i have pretty much rejected the holidays say for 25 years.

  Fancy discussing the manner in which people will die. Sick bastards! Really, I despair with this nonsense.

  Observations about dubs as people...

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  2. friends

  i was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.

  1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?

  2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.
