the first memory i carry is your smile .
the oldest emotion i bear is my love for you .
you would have died for me .
Thank you, Gravedancer! I'm one of the ones that has lost parents to the borg. I keep hoping that one day they will come to their senses before they die and I never get to see them again. Awesome piece of work! Thank you!

"the israelites celebrated after thier deliverance from egypt.
how will you celebrate our deliverance from this wicked world?.
Dang, Dude! You know how to kill the mood don't ya? LOL, you go boy!
JWs always think THEY will make it. I just love that arrogant attitude they have...even though they (im)modestly say they don't.

there are some that are obvious and then others that just baffle me to no end..... yes i am talking about your user names.... do any of you have stories behind them or are they significant for some reason or are they just a word you made up?.
mine...well its easy.... i got the nickname of spicy back in nov of last year when i dyed my hair this crazy red color and the name of the color was "spiced ginger".
the rest of it is because i love to make things more interesting---- sorta of like adding a bit of spice to the stew (hopefully i come across as that as well .

did you know we were being poisoned at meetings?well did you fall asleep in meetings or conventions?.
there you are just had your dinner and the convention is starting back up , its saturday afternoon and that means you've got four hours of talks ahead of you, can't wait.. but then you feel sleepy , very sleepy.. so why did we fall asleep?.
3 reasons.. 1.the talks were boooooooooring.. 2.we were digesting our food and blood was needed from our brians in order to help, since we didn't need it up there antway(see reason 1) it was used else where , hence the sleepyness.. 3.carbon dioxide.all creatures breath out carbon dioxide which is poisonous and also makes you sleepy.usually this doesn't effect us but when you cram a load of people together in a small place this gass collects as it can't get dispersed easilly into the air.with all the yawning from people being sleepy from eating to much food and listening to boring talks( see reason 2) carbon dioxide was pouring out and poisoning us all.. so meetings are dangerous after all.every time we went we were being poisoned by other people.. now thats got to be a good reason not to go..
Of course, the stage at the conventions is covered with plants to produce oxygen to keep the speakers awake.
However, number one must be the strongest argument. In Philly we had the conventions in a stadium with no roof...all the fresh air (and rain) we needed. But I still fell asleep.

i am a young anointed, with a heavenly calling, but it is only an invitation, for " many are invited, but few chosen" matthew 22:14 .
we have to endure to the end to receive the promises, that those with "patience and faith inherit the promises.
" hebrews 6:12 .
11th,
Of course the number of anointed will go up. In 50 years that will explain why the "end" hasn't come yet....there will still be 8,000 anointed left....as there has been for the past decade or so. There will always be 8,000 anointed left because the WTS has to keep it's robots on the edge of their seats. (Ooops, was that my outside voice?)

well folks, my first glbt pride parade was a blast!
my hands are sore from all the clapping and my voice is hoarse from all the cheering.
i clapped so much that i bent my silver celtic ring on my left hand...ouch!!
Amen to that, Zenpunk!
I know others in my old cong that are gay...but they won't say it. They just keep hiding in fear who they really are and stay miserable. I wish I could go back and help some of them. Since I'm DFd they wouldn't listen anyway. I hope that one day they will see the real 'light' and come to their senses. We should all be so lucky to be free!
while preparing the jfr trial review, i found this little gem: .
government: "you must be against war in all forms?
rutherford: "so far as consecrated christians are concerned; yes.
Aren't all JWs confused?! Yes, he does contradict himself there doesn't he. It wouldn't be the last time for the Governing Body to do that either. Very interesting, thanks for sharing!!

Well folks, my first GLBT Pride Parade was a blast! My hands are sore from all the clapping and my voice is hoarse from all the cheering. I clapped so much that I bent my silver Celtic ring on my left hand...OUCH!! It was a real bitch to get off! I came home with lots of goodies too. All in all I had a great time!!
The surprise of the evening was when I saw one of my JW exboyfriends marching in the parade! That's right, my exboyfriend. We dated in field service 10years ago. I yelled out his name as he passed by. When he turned around he stared at me for a few seconds with an almost scared look on his face....kind of like, 'oh no, it's a JW.' Then this huge smile and he ran over to hug me...guess he realized that if I was at the Gay Pride Parade I must not be a JW anymore.
Now I know where to find him so we can get together and catch up on what has happened in the past decade. I wondered all those years ago if he was gay and now I know! Wow, what a surprise!!
So, for all of you who went to your pride parades, how'd it go? Anything interesting happen??
i noticed that in september 2001 there was a change in the contact adress in the jw literature.. for example, awake!
september 8th, 2001 says on page 5: would you welcome more information?
write watch tower at the appropriate adress.
Perfection Seeker,
It was speculated in my old cong that one of the reasons they stopped the subs is so that incase the Great Trib started, there would be no way for the governments to find all the dubs. Think about it, subscription lists have every name and address of every dub in the world....no list, less persecution for the dubs when the GT breaks out.
