Did you Leave the Room for Birthday Parties as a kid?
by saywhat29 inin elementary school, the teachers would allow parents to bring in brownies/cake/cupcakes/ice cream to celebrate a studen'ts birthday.. and you were supposed to leave.
or tell the teacher that you would not be partaking of pagan desserts.. but.
did you actually leave?.

Are We Doomed To Repeat Patterns?
by saywhat29 ingosh darnit, this is my attempt to pull off a minimus-esque thread that will eventually die, but just a question that has been dragging around in my head as of recently.
i've been on this psychoanalytic kick for some time (for such a time that i know 'psychoanalytic' is not the right term to use but it fooled enough of you when i said it, and that's all that matters)- especially about family dynamics, patterns, and relationships.
i've been analyzing myself recently and more importantly i've been thinking about myself and the history of my relationships with those i love.

Hypothetical Scenario... (Of a CULT, OMG!)
by saywhat29 inokay, this hs been going on in my head for a while, and though i should be focusing on my finals and papers, this little scenario keeps playing out in my head and i wonder if it is just my biased that "omgz it's an effing cult!
" or if there is some truth to it.. say they actually did pass out styrofoam cups with 'true christian' kool-aid... and told them that they would be in the new system after they took a swig.... do you think that the majority would do it?
one would always do it in any religion as all have to have their die-hards, but i think the real identifier of a cult is the idea that *most* would and could not help to do so without question.. because i can't help but *know* that my mother, my grandmother, and my sister would be bodies after the end of this little scenario of mine.

Show The Love....
by saywhat29 inokay i think everybody here understands anger, sadness, and fear, but you know.... this is going to be the strangest thread ever, might be even out of place but.... what are some of the things you miss and/or love about your family and friends, yes the jws ones.
because only people who you love like hell can put a deep cut into your chest like that.
and no i don't think this is a jw apologist kind of thread, at least i don't think so because acknowledging the horrible stuff people do to you (us) doesn't mean that we have to forget about all the positive things and good qualities of a person.. like my mom for instance.

Birthday Party- an Attempt at Your First
by saywhat29 inokay, so i'm planning my own birthday party/get-together/something as i want to do something fun for my 21st.. the thing is.. i don't know what to do, besides go out and get drunk.
most of friends... okay the two or three i have... are now use to *not* having to get me anything because they are cheap and took advantage of knowing a jw kid.
but, now i want to do something and i have no idea about doing it.. it stil seems kinda silly to me, to celebrate a day that is like any other day, but i will be twenty-effing-one and i've never been a drinker or party-type-guy.

Halloween! Some Spoilers, but not that many!
by saywhat29 inomg!
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.

They Actually Said it!- A rant Brought to you By sw29
by saywhat29 incan't quote word for word, but at the dc this friday, the last talk given, the speaker actually said "not to question the faithful and discreet slave" and everybody around me was eating it up like it was cake.
my insides were churning when that guy said that crap.. and the funny thing is that if i hadn't been reading this board, reading the evilomg!
apostate literature they 'warned' us not to, then i would have been feeling guilty for my doubt, for my lack of faith, for being different, and all the rest of that crap.

Dirty Field Service Moments
by saywhat29 inhey everybody!.
i thought it would be fun to share some of your nasty/funniest/embarrassing/messed up/dirty field service stories- witnesses get off on driving around and sharing their stories with each other since... they usually have nothing else in common with the people they are driving around in field service with- but field service itself.. and you know i'm right, driving around listening to brother and sister so-and-so tell you about their amazing study.. who will never ever step inside of a kingdum hall in their lives (smart folks i have to say).
so here's one of mine- a favorite:.
