I ain't THAT gay. I'm like a Kinsey....4 or 5, meaning mostly gay. And in the summer time I'm a hardcore 3.6, LOL!. 'Gay' to me is more of an identity, like the right for people to be with people of the same sex... and besides when I dream i am in the arms of a guy instead of a girl.

Doen't mean I don't appreciate a nice figure or a nice set. Especially a nice a$$. You have that, guy or girl and I'll follow you anywhere.

Just sayin'. We all don't fit into categories AS easily. that's why my mom freaks out 'cause I *could...possibly be with a woman...for a little while... I guess...* ^shrugs^

And might I add, now that I'm on a better computer... you're Hot Too... c'mon and take a wild on the queer side. It'll be fun to look at other guys and have me comment on them with you while I'll massage your legs or something. Emphasis on the something.

Faudy,

Oh God, I remember when my mom tried to do that to me... who, luckily she wasn't as computer savy and a quick swipe of the History put me in the clear. I can't imagined where I'd be if she found the sites I was at...

And my 'gay' siter, stereotypes ring true for a reason. Of course no one fits them all... most people don't even see me and see gay and I can't dance or decorate your house... but play some madonna and I OWNs the dancefloor.... well as much as a non-dancing person can own the dance floor

So it is only a matter of time. I bet you'll start trying to help the environment or help end male supremacy and misogny. The 'Gay'... it just sneaks up on you like that, LOL!

For all you Jesus freaks out there.

which scriptures are the best for describing just exactly who jesus is?

thanks for playing.

Oh God, this is gonna turn into one of those believers v. non-believers threads.

I think we need a better... language or terminology. Because people are going to be on the board and still have theistic beliefs and need to be respected (Freaks even offended me and I'm not even a christian) BUt also allow those who have went through a struggle with dealing with those same theistic beliefs to express themselves. 'Cause yeah sometimes i need to vent and roll my eyes at stuff but...

Yeah, I dn't think you'll get the answer you want calling out the Jesus Freaks. Or maybe you will and somebody with a nice good christian heart will put aside the crack and give you the answer you want... if you really want to hear it 'cause it just seems like your poking the bear.

And here thats a Big Bear.... A bear that can expand to at least or 7 pages if you aren't careful.

The Fader (Me) at a Restaurant with the Cong. Dubs (long)

I did learn a valuable skill. Just yesterday my husband and I were lost in a neighborhood. He was driving round and round, totally lost. I said to stop the car. I got out and went right up to a house and knocked on the door. I introduced myself and said I was lost and asked them to point me in the right direction. They did.

My husband was very impressed! I got back in the car and told him " See, its just like being a witness going door to door. The householder told me where to go!"

LOL! anewme, I can SO relate to you on this one! I remember having to figure out which one of the apartments in a building was my friends because she left a message for me to stop by. Both her cellphone and house phone were off at the moment so what do you think I did...

I also did it when I hit a parked car, I went and knocked on the guy's door and told him w/o any fear.... I tell people that story and they are flabergasted that I had the balls to knock on somebody's door after I hit their car- even more that I did high-tail it out of there.

So OnTheWayOut, I recall a few gatherings where we all had to gravitate aroun the marked folks and what not. Like you were allowed to enter the bubble for a little while, but if you stayed too long people would start looking and wondering what was going on.... So, it made you not talk as much 'cause you could feel the stares (whehter they were real or imagined) burning into you amd end the conversation with a "Well, it was nice seeing you-" as if you somehow aren't in the same house or lacation. it was quite sad, but folks slapped a smile on their faces and all was well again.

God its weird how this behavior can be seen as "normal" or okay because back then it didn't even phase me.

My poor gay sister! It's gonna be okay- I agree with the others, don't put yourself through that. I remember when I was asked to have a talk with the Elders about my "gay tendacies/inclinations/...faggotiness?" and I was scared, like- "this is it-OH MY GOD!" Because you have it worked in your head what is going to happen- as if your whole world is gonna come crashing down.

But really, I think yo have more than most gays do- and hell so do I to some degree since I was never baptized and realized my feelings before I spent the next ten years denying them, destroying my loverly JW wife and kids in the process-

Your family is out, which is awesome and besides your hard-headed sister it seems as if they've dealt with or are trying to deal with it.

They know... and in my mind, being "gay" is one of those things that gets around since its soo juicy and scaaaaandolous that everybody eventually figures out in at least the three nearby halls after four or five months. Or even sooner. So if someone's seen you then chances are they ALL have seen you. You've probably been in someone's comment in the Watchtower and not even know it

You are here and that is awesome! I followed the advice of those on this board who had gone through a JC and recognize what I might have been faced with (pervy elders wanting to know my browser history!) and I did not go, nor did I contact the elder who wanted to give it to me. He was nice though- really nice guy. But I was not gonna put myself in that position and realized just because my family wanted to give him that power over us does not mean I had to as well- I didn't, in that area.

So I say don't go and when you feel comfortable, just DA yourself. I don't think anyone can tell you to do that but you and maybe you have some emotinal involvement/pain or fear you aren't ready to face. It sounds like if you were to do that then you woulnd't be able to communicate with a very close friend of yours and I def. understand why that would be a reason to just Fade. But realize that... well the relationship can only "grow" or get to a point whereas she to would be in trouble, and if she realizes that one day and doesn't go the way you want her to- out of the truth, then she may turn on you (in order to get Ms. Jehovah's approval again). So just be careful, and I'm sorry you are going through this and it isn't fair. After spending all that time struggling with your sexuality (22 years! I'm not EVEN 22!!!1one1) this is the last thing you need and you deserve to be happy with your girlfriend...

Building things.... and taking in about four or five cats or dogs. Don't lie, you know you are!

Describe How A Jehovah's Witness Thinks

by minimus in

jw
friends

what goes through a witnesses' brain??

when they see a loved one die---what goes thru their brain??.

when a non jw tells them about their fun filled weekend, what goes thru a witnesses' thoughts?.

saywhat29

Yeah, i agree with all of you- it's a blend of not thinking since everybody can see you and might report you if you ever have a "bad thought"- very BIG Brother. I mean have you ever seen a "questionable" movie and wondered if someone might have seen you- or were at a place and ran into a witness who would wonder about what you were doing there and felt the need to explain yourself? It's like this need to constantly look over your shoulder in case anybody sees you or reports you. And then- don't forget about Sky Daddy, Ms. Jehovah- I mean I would feel like the most disgusting thing ever when I was younger for doing the five-finger jive knowing that the Almighty was watching me and that one day someone would find out. It was insane- one time I thought that this book a brother had given me had a microscopic-camera in it and he could actually see what I was doing in my room... talk about paranoia.

As for when a Witness hears about your holiday/weekend/life they usually have to file it away in their brains as unholy or demonic and figure how sad your are for not knowing their God, and how you may be having fun now but they will be having fun for forevah!

Finally, what are the winning lotto number for the MegaMilions?

And, if you can get me tickets to Madonna's 50th birthday concert- that'd be awesome!

Whats the funniest thing you've ever seen happen in the KH?

by shell69 in

i remember being a kid and we didnt have the fancy fabric seats, they were plastic stackable chairs all set out in the usual lines.. an elderly bro, rather rotund, farted, the noise so loud and thundering against the plastic seat!

or the time when i must have been about 7, my dad brought his bible study family to their first ever meeting, i had to sit on mums knee.

i recall giving the daughter of the new family a very vigorous v sign during the meeting.

saywhat29

My brother farted very loudly at a book study once and turned to his friend that was sitting next to him and said "yuk how can you do that here". The poor guy went bright red and everyone thought it was him! My brother got away with it.

Mrs. Smith, your brother is awesome.

Halloween! Some Spoilers, but not that many!

by saywhat29 in

omg!

tell me somebody else here has seen this movie- i think it was a great remake of a classic- i really enjoyed it and i'm not even a horror fan.. however, i have to say that the halloween series was "the movie i had no business atching growing up" but i just felt for jamie lee curtis and when i was younger i found myself unaware of what i was watching and was scared to death but not by much, so i kept watching.

it was a marathon, so i had watched a few of the later movies as well.

OMG! Tell me somebody else here has seen this movie- I think it was a great remake of a classic- I really enjoyed it and I'm not even a Horror fan.

However, I have to say that the Halloween series was "the movie I had no business atching growing up" but I just felt for Jamie Lee Curtis and when I was younger I found myself unaware of what I was watching and was scared to death but not by much, so I kept watching. It was a marathon, so I had watched a few of the later movies as well. So when I saw that Rob Zombie had decided to make another version of this movie I had to see it now that my beliefs are different now- never before would I have seen such a movie in a theater! Especially withso many dubs around my area. But okay on with the comments!

But was it me or did this version of Mike Myers move a little faster than before? Not too fast, 'cause then it wouldn't have been the same Mike we al love, but he had a little pep in his step. And another thing- was his dad a gorilla or something because that was a big dude with some serious gorilla strength! Like... really, I guess when you don't talk and your brain shuts down the universe which tries to store some sense of balnce makes other things stronger. And I guess the universe or whatever decied t give a growing psychopath who mentaly shut down some steroids while he was locked away.

Plus... I kinda felt for him- I mean if your mom was a stripper and all the kids knew at school, your mom's boyfriend was a douchebag, and your sister was a douchebag who invited boys over to have sex with when she was supposd to be taking your trick-or-treating... yeah, I think that is like a recipe for a massacre but maybe that's me. I mean.. seeing him sit there and watching the thought mull through his mind... I probably would have snapped as well. Don't judge me- you have to seethe movie first.

Although I have to say that I don't like to watch people crawling away from Mr. Myers 'cause it just seems cruel- but I guess that's the point. It's like you see their humanity, their sense of being trying to survive when you know their isn't a chance in hell for them.

So yeah, that was my take! Go see it!
