i learned an interesting fact from my father's doctor when he was being treated for a stroke.
mom had mentioned that even though dad couldn't speak well enough to ask for a glass of water he could clearly say, "goddammit".
the dr. explained that epithets are from a different part of the brain and this area had not been affected by the stroke.. i found this very interesting.

i've had the privelege of meeting purplesofa.

Yes, I met carpenter and Nvr.
Carpenter was really cool.

what comments or feeling do you have that might make you be considered "politically incorrect"?
keep in mind that the expression does not just take in political points of view.....
I do not concern myself with political correctness. I really am a very nice person but I don't mind saying someone is black or white. My friend is from S. Africa and is now a US citzen. She's an African American but guess what...she's white.
I am a homosexual and have no problem refering to myself and others as fags, queens, flamers, or girly men. Words are just that, words.
I have very curly hair and I like to garden. Why just last weekend I was a nappy headed hoer.
Poor Imus. The guy has been insulting people for a very long time. Why all of a sudden is his foul mouth a problem?
Lonelysheep how about a PM with some of your dittys? Nvr- you use such big words. I had to look it up.

someone is predicting 2008 as end of the world.. what do you think?.
Wait a minute...Didn't Armageddon come sometime in the 1990's? I think Bruce Willis was in it and got blown up.

on a thread discussing another thread it was said;.
we'll never be "right", not completely anyway.. so for a spin-off of a spin-off...i'm curious what others thoughts are on this statement?.
is it a worldview a lot of us have?
I have days when I feel more "right" than others. But still to this day thoughts about Armageddon creep into my mind and I know that's not "right".
There are days when I feel like I can handle recovery by myself and other days when I think I'll need a professional to help me sort out my feelings. BTW- It's been over 30 years since I was DF'd but I only recently learned the truth about the truth.

is a certain "uptightness" creeping into our community?.
should we be scolding one another?.
especially kids?
If you're refering to Drunk at the ASSembly I don't think anyone was too hard on the guy. Maybe a little. But wouldn't it be far worse not to point out the error in judgement that Mincan displayed at the convention? Yes, he is young and young 'uns do make mistakes. I am not of the opinion that his behaviour is a reflection of "us" apostates as other posters pointed out to him. I thought that was a bit over the top.
IMO, Mincan wanted attention and he got it. Maybe not the kind of attention he was craving for but none the less he did get attention.
People should call it like they see it. I take it very seriously upon any mention of suicide and that's why I replied the way I did. He does need help if he is having suicidal thoughts and that should not be candy coated.

that's what was recently said by an elder (ex-bethel elder) to the sheep.
nice, huh?
I thought I "left Jehovah". I don't take it personally that He doesn't talk to me because He doesn't talk to anyone, including the old farts in Brooklyn.
I do take it personally when the old farts tell everyone that Jehoover told them that He does not want them talking to me.

dear friends similarly bereaved,.
i've been here long enough to understand the love/hate relationship we've all had with our moms and dads.
for some, forgiving and forgetting sins of omission and commission is not possible.
Sorry Coco. I too miss my dad terribly, he was never a dub. He died in 2001. My mom is stuck in dub-land, haven't seen her now for almost 10 years. She is going to be 76 this year and like Gumby I have no interest in pulling the rug out from under her now. I just accept the fact that she is "loving me" in her own way. It's sad.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
