when i first started wearing (soft) contact lenses, in around 1986, they were prescribed for wearing for six months, i think, before being replaced.
over the years the technology has become better, they've become cheaper, and wear time has become shorter... three months... one month... .
now i'm wearing two-week (water-wada-wada-oxygen-permeable-completely-inexpensive-state-of-the-art) contact lenses.. but damn, when i have to throw the little critters in the bin or down the drain after two weeks, i feel guilty as heck!
My optometrist says that as you approach your 40s you shouldn't consider lasik because you will soon have to wear glasses again.
Damn.
In my 20s I thought I'd wait until the laser technology improves. Now it seems the tech is great but my eyes are getting too "old" LOL!
i am not refering to the elders staking out a house to see if you're in there alone with another person who isn't your mate.. .
i am talking about 'regular stalkers' who stalk you for the obsessive psychological reason of needing to be near you physically.. ever been followed?.
ever had the feeling someone was looking through your windows?.
I don't understand your post, restrangled.
Who inserted 'spam'?

Oh I have to add that I do take them out and rinse and soak them every night. Do others do that with two-week lenses?
Theoretically I'm allowed to wear them for two weeks straight, and sleep in them, and perhaps I'd be happy to turf them out after that.
But I can't sleep in contact lenses, it feels strange to wake up and be able to see out the window lol!

someone who lies once generally makes a practice of lies
You see, it's funny but I've found the same thing in my life.
Call it intuition, call it instinct, whatever. But people who are okay with lying about the small stuff, in my experience, also lie about the bigger stuff.

But damn, when I have to throw the little critters in the bin or down the drain after two weeks, I feel guilty as heck! I was wearing them only a moment ago, and they're still perfect. Some starving blind child somewhere could have their life transformed with these two soft little pieces of plastic I'm about to discard...
Now I'm dreading going onto one-week lenses. One-day lenses will have me in a psych-ward before I know it.
Yikes.
Is it only me?

This greater topic, across all its different threads, across many protagonists, and across boards right now, amounts to a discussion about only one thing, honesty.
And honesty is not about revealing everything about yourself to everyone you meet.
Honesty is about being truthful about what you do choose to reveal.
Otherwise how is Trevor, with his non-existant dying Linda scenario, different to Eclipse, with her husband and four kids or never-been-in-serious relationship scenario?
I am not the only one on JWD who has fudged their real status.I did so because I was hiding from someone who knew me.
We are all here to share thoughts, experiences, humor, support of other people with whom we have this JW thing in common.
But isn't much of that invalidated, turned into nonsense really, when it's based on blatant lies? Not omissions. Not protection of privacy. But straightforward fibs.
Frankly, then it becomes a waste of my time and yours.
There is a series of many very fine lines, a fragile wall of dominoes, between stating an untruth that nobody will ever catch you out on and receiving money because your imaginary wife has just died. It's just a matter of degree.
Trevanian
I believe she died in the flat a few hours before supper.
I'd like to hear your theory, Badboy.
well, it's late.
i need to go to sleep, got home from work, but i thought i started a newbie thread why not a thread for those who have been on the board a long time , or for awhile now ?
so, lay it on me, what are your concerns for jwd ?
SHAWN 10538 - There are a lot of positive people on this board who are accomplishing many good things at present ! Hitch your rope to their wagon, bro !
I agree with flipper here. And an excellent example is Elsewhere and Darth Frosty's brilliant achievement: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/150022/1.ashx ... scanning a quarter of a century's worth of confidential Body of Elder letters from the WTS and placing them on a server. And someone else has started torrenting them.
Now there's a wagon!
Okay, if you have theories then you will love this website...
but first a warning - don't go there unless you are very interested in the case and have a LOT of time to spare! It can be addictive reading.

.. the adverts that pop up here?.
whatever the topic, the ads are [somewhat] linked.. sometimes it's hilarious.. mention a topic, like sex sex sex or religion religion religion... and watch how the ads change..
sometimes quite funny - I'm tired of the jehovah is king advert, though.
Agreed, Hortensia!
Those are usually the big ones at the top and bottom of the page.
But watch the ones that appear below the first post on every page. Usually there are four, sent to the page by matches to the words on the page, and their connection to the topic being discussed is sometimes very amusing.
