A call to all NF's and NT's (Myers Briggs)
by becca1 inok, some of you may be sick of these personality type issues but here goes.. i've noticed that whenever these topics come up, nf's and nt's come out of the woodwork.
in case you didn't know, these are the minority of the geneal population.
in a random setting you will have only 2 to 5% of n's (infp, infj,enfp,enfj,intp,intj,entp,entj).

Did U Ever Know Of An Elder That Committed A D'Fing Offense While An Elder?
by minimus ini used to go to strip clubs with another fellow elder when we would go out of town on "business".
i believe those lapdances could've gotten us removed.
don'tcha think?

My father molested me when he was an elder and i was 10 -12 ish When i eventually told 10yrs later he was still an elder he was "removed" but it was announced as "bro so and so is no longer an elder" and everyone assumed he'd stepped down and commiserated with the family on whata great elder he was and how great it must be to have him as a father.
Never df'd totally stumbled me. Especially as he was supported and i wasn't.

My husband (non jw, never been a jw) went to my nan's funeral with me when we were going out, we'd been to his nan's funeral 3 months before.
he was impressed that the elder giving the talk knew my nan
the funeral of his nan was done by a vicar who had been passed information by his horrid aunts who claimed they'd looked after her in her old age when it was actually him.
but my nan was cremated and the talk was held at the crematorium and that means u only get a 20min slot so they didn't have much time to waffle, so it was half her and half her beliefs.
at least the dubs dont say that god has taken the person who died - so sad when its a child and parents are told that god wanted the kid so took them.

A quick question:
by Vinny ini disassociated one year ago.
no meetings, no memorial no nothing since then.
there was one jw young man that talked to me continuously and who also lived right next door, 25 yrs old, a best friend of my step-son, (we all fished on my boat at least a half dozen times together).

I can't get my nose pierced it would just look too wrong, but I got my navel pierced sometime between 23 and 25. I wanted my nose pierced but as I was still associating it wouldn't have gone down too well.
It's not too bad but it can take a LONG time to heal (3-6 mths). Also I didn't realise how much you move your torso! My recommendation is not to do what I did which was to drive there and back. Get driven or walk or use public transport but don't drive. It hurt to change gears and turn on the radio, I listened to the same station for weeks. I suppose if you don't drive stick it wouldn't be so bad.
After the first day or two it was fine, it did get a bit infected but I just had salt baths.

Why is Europe more liberal then the United States?
by free2beme ini have wondered this for awhile and can not figure out why.
any ideas?
apparently being liberal does not lead to an economic power house, but it does lead to a lot of hatred of the united states in these countries.

The Spanish - Because they'd like the Caribbean back
Um fifi40 I'd just like to point out that the Caribbean is British Commonwealth , head of state is the Queen, policed by British police and they play Cricket!
