  My dad found my Jane's Addiction tape and threw it out. His reaction was so over the top, it reminded me of the dad from the Twisted Sister video. Hilarious! I just bought another one.

  I used to listen to INXS's Devil Inside really low. Didn't want my parents to hear it. They threw a fit over my....Nelson poster! Nelson! Good God people!

  I remember hearing a talk at the assembly which called heavy metal band members "guttersnipes". My sis and I laughed abouth that for years.

  I always hated the way they used the word "debase". "Music that debases". Ugh. Makes me wanna crank the Pixies song Debaser..."Wanna grow up to be... a DEBASER!

  we're bringing our 9 and 7 year old kids to disney over the x-mas break this year.

  it's actually going to be their gifts and they don't know we're going.

  just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what to see or do there or what to avoid.. something else we just found out, since they cancelled the space shuttle launch the other day, they may be doing it on jan. 2, i'm excited about possilbly going to see it!

  I grew up going to disney twice a year. One of the perks of living in florida.

  1. December can get slightly chilly in central florida, but more then likely it will be in the 80's. So pack shorts and t-shirts, and jeans and long sleeved shirts in case it is chilly. And do NOT forget sunscreen. The cost of it in the park is outrageous! Wear comfy shoes, and bring tylenol-your legs and feet will be very sore at the end of the day. You also might want to bring along raincoats and rainboots. It really sucks walking around disney soggy. Put them in a locker at the beginning of the day so you dont have to tote them around.

  2. You can get cups of ice water free anywear they sell fountain drinks. You will not believe how much $ this saves you on bottled water!

  3. To save $ only eat one meal at the park. And if it is a sit down place, call the DAY BEFORE to make reservations. Or you won't get in. The Crystal Palace is WONDERFUL! 20$ buys you an all you can eat buffet of prime rib, salmon, roast chicken, comfort foods, salads, fancy desserts, vegan cuisine, kiddie food(like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich station) and much more. PLUS it is a character restaraunt-Winnie the Pooh themed. They have a Pooh parade for the kids to participate in. It is worth every penny. But call the day before!

  4. You can ask to sit at the front of the monorail. Kids get a kick out of it. Great view.

  5. Take a break midday and go back to your motel room. Have an hour nap, then go back. You will be amazed how exausting Disney can be.

  Have Fun!

  Yup! We added those to our tree along with small red ribbons, large silver ribbon wrapped around, and silver glass ornaments and red lights. Very victorian looking.

  Is There Something Specific That U Regret Not Doing Because You Were A JW?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did you want to belong to a social club but couldn't because it was "worldly" and witnesses don't get involved with the world?.

  did you not go to college simply because witnesses say it's bad?.

  did you deprive your kids of things because you were a "good jw"?.

  Not putting importance on education. That held me back for so long. I finally have my diploma, and for the first time have a job outside of retail.

  I gave up my ambitions to become a great ballerina. It was my dream to one day join the American Ballet Theatre and dance at the Met. I rehearsed Aurora's solo from Sleeping Beauty so many times it drove my sister insane. I was damn good, and I gave it up since it was not considered very theocratic to have such ambitions. That is one thing I can't fix, you can't try to start a career as a dancer at 29. Ten years too late.

  Oh yeah! And for a long time, I was one of them.

  My ex even went so far as to have a vasectomey before we got married. (He didn't know it was frowned upon) I would swear that it was for the best to wait until the "new system", but inside I knew how much I wanted children. And I was terrified we would never be able too. I'm glad I didn't have any kids with my ex though, he would have been a horrible father. So abusive.

  I remember whenever a sister would announce she was pregnant, a lot of the older ones would subtly hint that it was a mistake. Ticked me off big time!

  Now I am with a great guy and we are planning on getting pregnant later this year.

  And I agree with Serge, most of the born-ins from the seventies have left the organization. The gen-xers are bitter I guess. And yeah I'm one of them!

  Christmas commercials

  it isn't even december yet and i already hate that commercial where the woman goes into lowes or home depot and asks for christmas ornaments using body language.

  i've seen it too many times already!!!!

  and it isn't working, obviously, as i can't even remember which home store it is advertising.. i like christmas - the excitement, color, lights, food, parties.

  Southern girl here. Love cornbread stuffing. Mmmm.

  Dressing is so gross. Had it for the first time last year, never again. And giblet gravy...

  Besides, I always fill the cavity with fresh herbs, onions, garlic, and lemons. Makes the house smell so warm and yummy!

  JWs just not important in this world no matter what they/we want to believe

  by restrangled in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for most of us raised in the "truth" and i hate to use that term, we were brought up/and or taught to believe we were very important in this world.

  the message being preached, god's chosen people, yadda yadda.. so as we leave this religion, the things we can point to as being news worthy, those breaking the law in the ranks, coverups etc....its really small potatoes in the world at large, although to this group it is huge.. i believe that part of the letting go of the witness mentality is recognizing that in the end its all just a small cult that captured your soul, or you were born in and had no choice.

  it sucks bigtime, its larger than life for most of us, but in the bigger picture of life its a very small blip.. there is no question this religion has ruined/destroyed many lives, but to the world at large it isn't big enough to make a differnece to those not involved.. in reality, to use a horrible analolgy.....the jw's are just a pimple on the butt of the world.. .

  Very good post. You don't realize till you leave the JWs how rarely other people think of them, or how little impact they have on the world.
