The apostates were the crazies who picketed in front of the conventions. It would never have occurred to me they might be in my hall! (yeah, I was oblivious. Of course I was, I was a DUB!)

Bumblebee makes a good point. I was thinking along similar lines. What is likely to be more offensive, not participating in whatever religion specific customs might be involved, or not even bothering to show up!?! Once more, trying to use total crap reasoning. What a load of shyte.

I Burn For You, the live version on his double album Bring On the Night. Haunting and beautiful and savage. ORRRRRR, Be Still My Beating Heart. I love the helpless wonder the song somehow conveys about falling in love. Tea in the Sahara for the Police, or Murder By Numbers, tough choice... brunn

aside from mark nearly swallowing the mic... this is some of the best ever done.

I loved the Brothers in Arms cd. I had the album, wore it out, bought the tape, wore it out and I've gone through two cds since I lost the first one. The final album cut is so haunting it still gives me chills. brunn
i really have never understood prayers too well or how they are answered or not.
i really think it is more of a self-help type excercise.
aren't there some really funny experiences in the yearbooks on prayers answered!?
LOL, oompa! I always felt like I was talking to myself anyway. I hated the long pompous prayers at the hall that weren't really prayers but instead were opportunities for sanctimonious S.O.B.'s to hammer home the "sin of the week." I am SO glad I'm outta there! Thanks for reminding me of how stupid and inane they are! brunn
has anyone experienced something really outrageous among the jw's that you want to share?.
we once had a couple of jw's follow us (policeing us) as we were on our way to my (then, he's now my ex) husband's boss's home.
his boss wanted us over for an end of the year party and didn't consider it a christmas party because he knew we didn't celebrate christmas.
LMAO, knock knock!!! That is freaking hilarious!!!

after the thread about our first cars, i was wondering what everyone drives now.
i know that roller has the apostatruck, but what does everybody else drive?.
i personally have a pontiac grand prix for work, and a saab convertible for fun.. jk.
I just bought my first brand new car, 2007 Honda Civic Coupe stick, galaxy grey with a moon/sun roof - great gas mileage and hella fun!

i hope that some of you lurkers out here really take a look at some of the thread in this section of the board.
this awake magazine says not one thing about how families are asked to trust their elders and how these very elders were and are abusing their children.
it mentions nothing about watching out for these trusted men in the congregations.............oh it brings out the internet, other family members and fathers and males in particular.. it will tell you how much your child needs to do to prevent something like this from happening.
My mom tried to convince me to take this "for my son's sake" and I nearly threw up. I wanted to tell her I'd left the dubs for my sons sake and he was safer now than he'd EVER been while we were going to the hall. I didn't because it would just hurt her, but still, I was so angry and sickened by the hypocrisy I had to leave before I said something awful.
