Is Lindsey Lohan gay?

by free2beme in

recently there was an uproar about ms lohan's sexuality.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080802/ap_en_ot/people_lindsay_lohan.

while i am the first to say how disappointed i am in this woman, who played some great disney characters as a child and then turned in to one of those super party whore girls, as an adult.

i actually find the prospect of her being gay, and perhaps settling down a bit ... good.

ok, so i'm doing research on my family.. we've been in this country since 1650, and like lt. dan on forrest gump, i have had someone from my family fight and die in every us war.

so my family came to georgia in 1789, they were given a land grant for their services in the revolutionary war and settled here near uga/athens.

when they came to the area known as "goose pond" there was only one church that was established.... it was called "millstone creek" baptist.

Maybe they threw out the wrong guy and they caught hell for it!

Dawg, do the records indicate the degree of shunning practiced? Was it more like, "You can't come to this church anymore," or was it more along the lines of JW-style shunning?

Ohhhh...also, how about F gate at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego......It back in the late 80's, Gate F was one of the biggest mecca's in Watch Tower History. The Elder's just hated us. I mean during the 1997 DC, They had an all and out reformation, no one under 20 could talk. I actually was told, during lunch that I was to go sit with my family....This was huge. I decided to walk away and they followed me. It was the only mistake I ever made being a witness. I say that becauce, that is when I should have left. I knew damn well they were "haters of happiness" but I just thought ...........JW's can not be that bad...especially the Elders..........guess what?............Yes they RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Ahh yes, Club F is legendary. Not so much anymore...there are actually more people clustered around Ramp E than anything....

440 Bethelites reassigned

by stillajwexelder in

although not in print yet - 440 bethelites reassigned, was the figure i heard from the platform as to how many bethelites have been reassigned to the field in one way or another in the usa

SirNose586

Hmmm...someone made a comment about how "this organization doesn't put anyone out to pasture" or "chew them up and spit them out."

I wish I had something a bit more concrete than rumblings from a message board to show them....

I don't think Randi would call shenanigans on this man's incredible talent. By every other means except sight, he can imagine colors, shapes, and perspective. Another important factor in this man's talent is that he does not allow himself to be shackled by his blindness.

Tim Curry.... Greatest Actor?

by Preston in

i've seen thousands of movies and occasionally get into discussions with other movies fans regarding the best performance / film score / film in a certain year / etc..... i've had disagreements with people as to the acting quality of marlon brando, james stewart, jimmy cagney, bette davis but.... the one actor that i've never experienced any disagreements on is (inexplicably) tim curry, who i've been a big fan of since 'clue' and i'm almost convinced that there is not a single purveyor of film that doesn't like his acting, but i'd like to do an experiment on here to see if anyone does.. does everyone really like tim curry?.

.

- preston.

He's a bit too flamboyant for me, but a decent chap otherwise. I've no quarrel with the quality of his work.

RECENT REVISIONS TO THE KH DRESS CODE?

by navytownroger in

i was told by my former book-study conductor recently that a new 'dress code' had been handed down by the wts, because people had been 'getting too casual' with their styles of clothing.

one item he mentioed was a new rule for women prohibiting denim skirts.

and, when a woman wore a denim jacket, she was also told this was not appropriate for the kh.

SirNose586

This is about that bizarre tract telling people how they should dress when visiting their conclave. Denim is now verboten.

i found this on a pro-witness site http://pastorrussell.blogspot.com/2008/07/seeing-onself-as-victim-denied.html.

do you think this is a fair assesment of "apostates"?

i think he fails to see the whole picture.. .

He lost me at the first sentence, sorry. Not a good sign when you can't even begin an essay in a good manner....

Love note from a JW...want to reply?

by LovesDubs in

apparently mr. scotte here has been reading my stuff on freeminds and objected to it because i dont have anything posted anywhere else under [email protected] except there.

anybody want to tell scotty anything?

i have to wonder what else he read on freeminds and why was he reading apostate websites?

SirNose586

I'm guessing that Scotty is neither a JW or an adult...

Not an adult, sure, but who else besides a JW would go through the trouble of leaving this incomprehensible diatribe? Edit: Hmmm...it seems his note seems to be upset that anyone would make fun of "religion"....weird but whatever....
