i watch the rifleman almost every night on encore westerns.. when i was a kid i used to love watching the 3 stooges.. my favorite 80's show was taxi and hill street blues.. which tv shows did you love watching?
?.
50's to 90's? Wow, that covers a lot.
My favorite old shows are I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Twilight Zone. I used to watch those a lot with my dad.
My favorites shows as a tween/teen were Saved by the Bell, Blossom and My So-Called Life (my boyfriend's mother just bought me the series of MSCL on DVD...I was so ecstatic! lol).
my favorites are:.
"paradise earth": not in the bible.
"great crowd" of "other sheep" - two unrelated texts... put them together, and voila!, you just changed the destiny of millions!.
Sterilization is wrong? First I've heard of that. I also didn't hear oral sex was wrong until I was almost out and I didn't even believe the person who told me. In fact, I didn't believe it was a widespread JW rule until I started reading these forums lol.
I'm just going to emphasize the "dress code" that has been mentioned here. I've actually gotten into discussions with my devout JW mother over this fact. Why are dress pants bad for sisters? And what about denim? I wasn't even allowed to wear denim skirts or dresses to the KHs. I was practically forced to dress like Laura Ingalls my entire childhood.
at the recent dc the new meeting arrangement was mentioned just once, but not to give us further details on how the new meeting will be structured or how the r&f will be cared for.. .
instead the audience was urged not the second guess the gb, being advised to look at how well the spirit has directed the org up until now, so therefore it will do so into the future.. .
but the reality is the congregations are only just over 5 months away from this new meeting arrangement, yet they know little about how it'll actually affect them.. .
I can't wait. One less day my mom refuses to make any plans with the family (we do a lot of things together lol) because she has "meeting tonight."
in reality, is it a good thing, in the long run?
should the purpose of a board to be to give the person needed help and then the person should just move on?.
does being on a discussion board like this mean that you aren't really getting on in your life?.
I post here because it keeps me entertained when I'm bored at work.
when i first met my husband, he had i guess what some men would consider the ultimate apartment.
big screen tv.
an old sofa, one knife, one fork, one spoon, a pot and a skillet.
My boyfriend currently lives with his brother (though he's moving in with me in a couple of weeks). I definitely refer to their apartment as the ultimate bachelor pad. They each have a computer, big screen TV, a bed...and that's about it. Paper plates/cups/cutlery, frozen food and convenience processed food only, a cardboard box in the middle of the kitchen that doubles as a table, you have to step around trash to get anywhere. Speaking of trash, their trash "receptable" is a huge black trash bag in one corner of the pantry. It's actually kinda sad. I used to clean up whenever I went over there, but I gave up. It was a lost cause.
hands down my all-time favorite was the flintstones.
it's just so hard for me to compare anything else to its humor,cleanliness,appeal to young as well as older ones at the time.. .
no matter how bad a mood i would be in after school i could always count on fred and barney to screw something up to make me feel better lol.
I remember when Beauty and the Beast first came out, a bunch of people in the cong. didn't allow their children to watch it because it promoted beastiality.
to be honest - i've never loved anyone - i'm talking about the romatic type here.
i have liked & been attracted to people....but love, nope.
i have no idea how to identify it.. looking at people in "so called" love today can be a bit deceptive, as what i have seen and still see to a great extent is 2 people .
I couldn't put it into words. You just know.
we've all heard the cliches .
" when the going get's tough, the tough get going .
" etc., etc., ...... " better to have loved and lost .... than never loved at all.
I think I'm an optimist with pessimistic tendencies.
after finishing "combatting cult mind control" i decided to move on to the next logical book.
i've read the first 100 pages of "crisis of conscience" and it's gone by really fast.
now i know why this book is so important.
I'm currently reading Combatting Cult Mind-Control. Crisis of Conscience is being passed down to the ex-JWs in my family. My father had it first, now my brother has it, and I'm getting it next. My brother's had it for so long I think I may just bite the bullet and buy my own copy lol.
a few weeks ago i had a conversation with my mother (still a jw).
she told me that one of my fave elders, who was disfellowshipped a few months before i disassociated three years ago, just got reinstated.
now, to know my mother is to know that she doesn't give you information unless she has an underlying motive.
My own mother (also still a JW) called me stupid recently. She later apologized, but I feel like such a disappointment to her. I feel your pain. {{{HUGS}}}
