Two lesbians say "I do"

by writerpen in

i'm always coming back to this site to read everyone's post and only start a thread when i really feel the need.

only you guys would understand the irony of what happened yesterday.

my partner and i had a commitment ceremony yesterday.

You and I have something in common: We both like lesbians.

Jokes aside, good luck with your partner.

And that irony is truly appreciated. Jehovah messed up on that one, apparently. Another tract gone to waste...

And one I should probably know: What does "R&F" (or some similar abbreviation) mean?

If you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?

by AlmostAtheist in

if you could "intelligently design" yourself, what would you change?.

you're welcome to start from the ground up, if you like.

or just suggest changes to the existing platform.

A more effective immune system. Like that of a horseshoe crab. Any foreign substance is imediatlely attacked and killed.

Faster healing times. Not like seconds, but days instead of weeks.

Brains that don't break. I'm astounded at how weak the brain can be sometimes. And yet, I'm astounded at how some people can maintain thier sanity at other times. Maybe something like an unbiased self-analyzing center in the brain. It constantly checks for abnormalities in mental functions, and corrects it.

Higher capacity lungs.

Stronger bones.

The ability to implement scientific finds instead of sitting there with them and not getting anything acomplished. It goes hand in hand with people realising that money is worthless in it's current form. Gold is just a mineral, and is poor representation of actual work done to be paid with money.

Anyone else do this in the morning?

by free2beme in

i get up each morning and turn on the news, right as i get out of bed.

not because i want some news to start the day, but rather this is often been a major moment in my life.

i remember turning it on one morning and hearing about the first trade tower bombing, turning it on and hearing about the oklahoma city bombing, turning it on and seeing the trade towers burning (well, one of them, i watched the second plane hit live).

US president assassinated.

Is that such a bad thing? :P .

Although, they say Cheney is from the dark depths of hell so...

"I Felt Really Betrayed When I Found Out it Was all a Lie."

"yes i have anger.

i've been angry at christianity for years.

that doesn't mean i don't love the people who've been brainwashed though.".

AnonyMouse

I'm all the time angry at religion. I never truly belived in it. I detested going out in service, and thought it was a waste of a perfectly good saturday. So I'm not mad at finding out its a lie.

But I think I'm angry at my present situation. Being repressed and such. I get really angry at odd times for no reason, like my mind is breaking (prolly true ;) ) .

Your Most Hair-Raising Moments in Field Service

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

your most hair-raising moments in field service throughout my tenure of being one of jehovah's.

witnesses, i am thankful that there were only.

two or three incidents which proved to be some.

AnonyMouse

I would brave the insults and violence (I happen to think myself skilled at hand to hand) to see some attractive women that don't like to wear clothes that early in the morning ;) .

Don't blame me...blame the hormones. Or the gender, either/or :P.

Would Everlasting Life under Jehovah's rulership appeal to you?

by frankiespeakin in

jw
friends

i don't find it the least bit appealing to even think of living forever under the jehovah's rule because he is such an egocentric god.

always worrying if you make him mad.

AnonyMouse

My jaw dropped when I read "The diary of an Armageddon Survivor".

People always say "Ooh, I'll take that house in the new system!"

It never occured to me, that you might have to pick up the dead bodies of the occupants, thier dead children (imagine clearing out the crib in thier nursery...), and then getting rid of all thier possessions. Pictures and things that were important to the dead folks. It gives me shivers just thinking about it...

I'll have to say something next time that gets said.

Thankfully that won't happen though. Pending nuclear disasters or biological warfare...(fingers crossed)

"Newbies"

by Butters in

jw
friends

uh, hello, uh, well, i wanted to know how long it will be before the "newbie" title comes off?

i noticed that some others who have been here since 2004 still have the title "newbie".

how many years do you need before you move up?

AnonyMouse

I'm still a newbie too. I like to read a lot, then make GIGANTIC posts. And it takes me a long time to make each one, so I don't get many posts per day. Quality over quantity. Well, they probably bore you all to death ;) .

stillin4now (seems to me like it would be stallin, but nevermind), I wish you luck. I'll be "going through" this for 2 more years, until I'm 18, it just depends if you want stories from a little kid ^^.

But the main thing I'm looking at is that you're husband looks too. I've seen far too many stories where one person leaves, and the spouse stays, and it all tears apart the family. I would hate that if it happened to me, and I hate to see it to happen to others.

I hope you both stick with it!

Shattered LivesThe Watchtower Trauma and your Healing Process

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

shattered livesthe watchtower trauma and your healing process a few days ago a topic of discussion presented itself .

regarding the subject of suicide and former jehovah's.

witnesses.

AnonyMouse

Wow, I feel kinda lucky.

I guess I caught it early enough that it didn't really do any damage to me mentally. Sure, there's my mother, whom I despise, but I forgive her. Or, at least I WILL, once I turn 18, and have a reason to be happy enough to forgive.

I didn't have enough time to get baptized (I never really wanted to anyway, now I know the reason). And I never got into a relationship, only to realize after a few children that it was all a lie, only to tear our family apart because she won't listen to logic.

Or even worse, treating my children terrible, because they leave the truth as soon as they hit 18, and I don't listen to thier logic.

And at maximum, sitting on my deathbed, thinking over all the years, and suddenly realising it was all a waste. I get nothing from it. I might have even destroyed the lives of others in the process. My children hate me, I'll have never seen my grandchildren.

But I caught it early. So that makes me very lucky... And I hope the best to those that need it. I don't really understand what goes on with you, so I won't say what to do. But good luck with whatever advice you choose to follow.
