Hey, italianmomma:
It was just a joke...don't take it too seriously.
Hmm, very good, Spaz...I don't normally like poetry, but this one kept me reading to the end.
but for some reason, i kept picturing the ride of the four horsemen as I was reading this poem. Don't know why, or maybe it was b/c I'm in a gloomy, pissed off mood today...and it's getting hot outside in guangzhou today and I don't think it's gonna rain anytime soon today.

is it just me or..... 1. do the vast majority of the "good" females in the jw publications look like they stepped out of the martha stewart-wannabe/betty crocker/beaver's mom mold?
and the bad "girls" look like some cheesy bad girl from a chessy 80s movie?.
2. did i see a lack of interracial couples/families in the jw pubs?
Marilyn: Hmm, I have really seen thos eposters...believe it or not...
I'm in guangzhou (Cantonese land)...but I'm about to jump back to america on the 19th...
ok, now that i have your attention................................... it seems like most of the witnesses i know, and who have posted here, say their parents kept them in the dark about sex.
do you agree?
my parents never discussed it at all- in fact- if they did- or saw a love scene on tv- my mom would always say "thats disgusting' (yeah, right mom) .
Let me add to the Mandy R--- story: I hadn't noticed that my pants were making a "teepee" when my mom smashed the Kingdom Melodies (wasn't what the brown "songbook" was called?) on my lap.
i think when people leave the organization, they lump it all together- jehovah- religion, organization, etc.
i am not doubtful there is a god, but just doubtful that he used the wts to be his one & only means.
just wanted to say that.
And it's Jehovah who has proven that he's homicidal.
And wishy-washy too. Back in college, after I left the dubs, I took a "Bible as Literature"..had to use a bible other than the JWs'...it was a long time ago, but I seem to remember that somewhere in Kings and Chronicals (Can't remember which book -- 1 or 2)there were two conflicting views of when King David had the census. In one book it says he was told by Jehovah's spirit to do it and he gets punished for it. In the other version, Satan gets his kicks and gets the ball rolling...(can somebody more knowledgable help me out on this one? I don't have a Bible here in China with me.)
So, now, tell me why i shouldn't bash the almighty Jehovah...he's worse than the dubs, in my book.

2. Did I see a lack of interracial couples/families in the JW pubs? I can't remember seeing any in the mags when I was growing up. I stopped looking at the mag in 1990 and i didn't pick an Awake! up again until 1997 when I was waiting at the bus stop. Lo and Behold: A white guy and Asian girl...Now isn't that playing along some racial-sexual stereotypes?
(In fact: maybe this is why many kids in the KH, when I was growing up, would challenge me about my mother: "Is she really your mother? Are you sure she isn't your step-mother? She doesn't look like she could be your mother.")
3. Do Mormons and JWs have a lot in common when it comes to organization/heirachy and when the layperson pissies them off?
4. Does the Watchtower logo looks suspiciously like a chess piece...hmm, does that mean the dubs are pawns?
5. Fill in your favorite "is it just me or.." question

Yeah, neither did my parents...at least with me. My mom had the talk with my little sister. i guess they figured I'd get into trouble if I knew how to do it....funny, tho'...my sister is the black sheep of the family. I turned out to be the loyal husband.
Worst moment that I discovered girls: When I was 14, Mandy R--- the busty blond bombshell of our congregation walks by me in the KH in a really tight black dress, showing cleavage, and her breasts all perky (I wondered even then how an Elder's Daughter could get away with that), even though this kind of girl never really attacted me much...but those breasts did, being 14 and at all...and I popped a boner. My mom saw this and slapped a Kingdom Melodies down on my lap..really hard. Ouch. My intro to sex ed.
