Why not shave the beard to please your wife and get a piercing or tatoo to rebel against the Watchtower?

To shave or not to shave? That is the question. A fun subject.
by TotallyADD inwhen we moved up to pa back in late april the first thing i did when we got here was to grow a beard.
not a full face beard just around the mouth beard.
i love the look but my wife although she thinks i look good with it does make me look older because it is grey.

And calling me a "super fine apostle" seems a bit condicending.... You would do well to remember that us spirit appointed window washers, sorry "elders", are going to be princes in gods new world. And based on the great dc earth quake of 2011 id say thats gonna be soon!
LOL, EE! But I meant it in the most reverent way!

Oh, and sorry for not writing you, Jamie--I was distracted once I got home, and a little obsessed with trying to fix the computer. Let's hope nothing screws it up again. I hope I can print stuff at home once more. Maybe I can scan something I'd been meaning to send you quite soon. We'll see.....

Oh, oh, what is it? I think I knw what it is and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA!!!!!! I knew it!!!! Vindication!!!!! I'm really sorry all of you are going to be dying soon as I'm sure this marks God's great and fear inspiring day is near at hand, but as an elder appointed by holy spirit I'm SURE I'm going to be OK! IT is a tragedy but I will remember you all fondly, and I'm deeply sorry that my efforts to restore you all to god's favor was unsuccessful. BTW, my panda, which I am sure I am soon to receive now, shall be name "Bruce". Bruce and I will silently and privately mourn you all.
I thought a super fine apostle such as yourself would want a lion, tiger, or ohhhhhhhhhhh, a bad ass black panther with amber eyes, LOL!

Are there any songs that remind you of being a jw ?
by man in black in.
this afternoon the song music box dancer came on the radio and i was instantly transported back to 1978 when my best jw friend got married.. this was "their" song ,, they are now divorced and one of them left the religion and is remarried.. another song that makes my skin crawl from a jw standpoint is mambo # 5.. there was an elder from my old hall, j. renfroe who always was telling the young people what music was acceptable for them to listen to.. and this guy was just so opinionated regarding everything.. so one time at a wedding this song comes on and he starts dancing almost uncontrollably.
it was agony to watch, and i ( and many others felt embarrassed for him because of how he was dancing and how his self rightous opinions seemed to be thrown to the wind this evening.. any other examples of music that became tainted from a jw experience ?.

Hey Fade-Away, I love that song, and I'm probably much older than you!
And the song that reminds me of being a jw is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5KZEvLAFok
It made me think about a two-fold secret that I was keeping. One that I was living in terror of my jw husband, and two, the elders expected me to stay in that distressing situation. I knew that I would have to give up my God and my family and hoped that I would live to tell what was happening to me.
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wallChorus:
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of meI know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside, you can't take that from me(chorus)
2nd Chorus:
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance againIf I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How could they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How would they hear
When would they learn
How would they know(chorus)
(2nd chorus) -

Only problem now is, the subway's totally backed up, I think, and moving at a snail's pace. Here's hoping I can make it home. Home computer is too damaged by malware to comment on JWN, though (long story, technically my fault, but not my fault simultaneously), so...I can probably just e-mail Jamie or something assuming I make it home and all...

I haven't heard from SD-7 this evening. I hope he made it home okay.
I'm on NE Ohio, and I didn't feel the earthquake at all at my house, which is 91 years old. My husband was sitting in a car about 15 miles away, and the whole car was shaking.
