I have her book, we've had the conversation here before about Kyria and her book a while back. She's pretty accurate about the JW stuff she went through, but it was pointed out by a few folks here when discussed before that some of the situations she went through she brought them on herself. But all in all I could relate to being brought up in such a wacky cult.

What have been some of the funniest local needs talks that you have heard?
by DaPriest ini remember once in berlin south germany there was a local needs part for the men only, and how they should use the toilet.
in all seriousness for ten minutes a retarded nigerian was going on about how men need to sit down when using the toilet.
no mention of anything else.. it transpired that some little kraut boy from an "interested" family would aim for the side of the toilet and leave a great big puddle for others to clean up.

Well, the whole talk wasn't about this, but I remember a brother adding to his talk that sisters shouldn't wear red shoes, I think this was after David Bowie's "Let's Dance" came out ("put on your red shoes and dance the blues")
Also I remember a CO dropping into one of his talks that brothers shouldn't watch football . . . well, ya' just know all the brothers immediately stopped watching football after they heard that don't you! Bet they haven't seen a game since that talk, and that was around the time I was in Junior HIgh School in the 70's.

Cooking With Cast Iron
by Simon ini can't even remember what got me interested in pans, probably wanting to try cooking more and watching some cooking videos on youtube, but i kind of started wanting to get a cast-iron skillet specifically so started reading up on them.
hey, if you're going to spend $50 on something you need to study them and create a comparison spreadsheet ... right?.
not only did cast-iron look great for cooking but there are some studies that show risks to aluminium / teflon cookware ... not that the wts was "right" about aluminium, but teflon can give off carcinogenic chemicals if overheated (so what if it chips off into your food?).

So one of the chefs here can answer this for me, although I prefer to stick with my non-stick skillets
I notice in the non stick if it gets to hot while frying an egg and I do use oil, I just hold it up away from the heat and it will loosen up, now with cast iron, no matter how hot the pan gets nothing will stick to even a well seasoned cast iron pan? I can seer a steak and it won't stick ? I've been so tempted since they seem to be coming back now, but I don't know

Will Donald Trump Be Impeached Before His Term Ends?
by Brokeback Watchtower ini'm thinking his willful failure to be briefed by the cia about russian election tampering and not understanding diplomatic protocall.
making off handed statements without proper research about the mater.
he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

Tahoe - that picture is a joke, right? Reminds me of the Three Stooges, but the brainwashed Dubs are passing it around like a pic of their grandchild? Really ??

2 questions about Warwick
by Gorbatchov ini have two questions about warwick.
see the picture included.
1) at the other side of the lake you see other buildings.

regarding the picture of the new Bethel, the buildings on the left look like a resort hotel and to the right looks like a prison complex, if you're familiar with upstate NY Wallkill and many other towns up there are full of prisons.

I'm just wondering how old you are, and
has your bride to be offered any input as to what you will be wearing since the guys in the wedding will be walking down the aisle with the bridesmaids? Or , are you having no bridal party?
