both adornments (beards and earrings) can be rather HOT in my opinion, but I?m pretty sure you're not trying to please me ('cause then you'd probably need a pierced tongue as well...hee hee...j/k)

if you are trying to please Jehovah's Witnesses and the Society: NO beards or earrings, (or tongue rings...boo hoo)

if you are trying to please Jehovah/God/Buddha/any other deity: don't think it matters, but it's up to you

if you are trying to please yourself: definitely up to you (and apparently something drove you to do it in the first place...)

if you are trying to please me: only men with tongue rings need apply, ha ha

(Okay for realz I'm just joking bout the tongue ring...it?s just so damn hot)

Okay...so my delima:

1) I'm tired of food that is made up of small particulates (i.e. rice, orzo, beans, etc.)

2) I?m tired of eating things that have a subtle sweet taste (i.e. veat (yes I was desperate!), teriyaki marinated tofu, etc.)

3) I?m tired of eating mush (lentils, oatmeal, etc.)

So without suggesting spaghetti or eggs:

Do you have any great savory, vegetarian main dishes?

Ahh...Napoleon Dynamite! Wonderful stuff!

I had forgotten about the freedom of music. However, that was an issue this last weekend. I didn?t realize how many curse words were in my music of choice!

(Okay on a complete side note, is that how old you are listed to your gender symbol? And who let all the Canadians in? Just Kidding! Mucho love to all?Oooh and on a very severe side note, for the Canadians: what do you call the gravy you put on your fries? I?ve decided that that is distinctively Canadian....and for the person from Washington, US: east side or west side?)

Do you tend to believe everything that you read on the internet?

there is so much information on the internet.

how do you know what's true, what's exaggerated, and what's totally false?.

this for example...... would you classify this true, exaggerated or false?.

Bill,

I am so jealous that you went to Japan! On an order of good work too!

I actually stayed in the Kansai area for about a month almost four years ago. In addition to attending some classes, we got to do all of that cool historical stuff. Thank goodness I was no longer a JW because I could really appreciate my culture and Todaji Temple in it's fullest! Did you fit into heaven? I was afraid I would get stuck so I just figured that if I ever have children, I would send my children through when they are babies. (P.S. To everyone that thinks that sounds crazy: there is a square hole cut out of one of the columns that hold up the temple. It is rumored that if you go through the hole, you get to go to heaven. It is a rather small hole. Apparently, only small people go to heaven. Who would have figured?)

Another interesting note: When I stayed in Kobe (near Osaka), I passed by a Kingdom Hall on the train everyday. I always wondered about Japan's branch.

Thank you for the good update and hope that all goes well with you and your endeavors!

Much Love, forgetmenot

Hello All,

It's been so long since I've been here. Hmmm...Suppose that warrants a new introduction, which will conveniently lead to the subject of my post: Ahh the Freedom.

I am twenty years old, with my twenty-one run fast approaching. I will be getting my B.S. degree in engineering at the end of next spring (i.e. I am a junior). I am also pursuing a pre-med option so that I can attend both medical school and graduate school in a joint, eight year long program. At my university, I have been apart of numerous organizations, which have been mostly multicultural and academic related. I also live alone in my own apartment. I?ve tried the whole roommate situation and concluded that ?I don?t care who you are, I can?t live with you.? In fact I?m so convinced of this fact, that I?m half expecting that when/if I get married, my husband and I will have separate houses. Another great fact about me, I have both my nose and eyebrow pierced, yet I still manage to be an intelligent person (most of the time). Apparently this is a strange phenomenon to a great number of people.

Okay, so the point of my introduction? Last three day weekend, I visited my grandparents and relatives who happened to be Jehovah?s Witnesses. I stopped attending meetings and having affiliation with the society/org about six to eight years ago (somewhere from junior high to freshman/sophomore year of high school). While this is definitely in the past, I still find myself thinking about it from time to time and I am amazed. I look at all the ?rules? I?ve broken: going to college; piercing my face; setting goals for the future; going through my drinking/wild period; saying ?God Bless You? after someone sneezes; celebrating my birthday; going sporadically to different churches; celebrating holidays (I?ve discovered Halloween is one of my favorites!); learning and loving other people?s culture and religions; etc. The list is wonderfully long!

My point: while Dubs see this as breaking the rules, I see this as freedom! It actually didn?t dawn on me until I went to church last Sunday. Mind you, I didn?t go to your typical church. It was a Universalist Unitarian church. I went more out of curiosity than anything. But while I was listening to the sermon, I realized that I used to spend so much time trying to use my brain to fit the society/org?s rules when all along I could have been using it to help and include people. What an incredible difference! Perhaps, this is one of my most enjoyed freedoms!

So my question to all: What freedom that would have previously been considered ?breaking the rules?, do you enjoy and treasure now?

i put this in humour, but it makes me want to vomit hard

by in a new york bethel minute in

i receieved this "poem" from some witness chick who sent it as a forward to myself and a whole bunch of other dubs.

my sister received it from someone else and i have other friends who received it from other sources.

im sure every young witness who has email has received it by now, and it's the most sickening, disheartening thing i have seen in a long time.

After my family had stopped going to meetings, my mother was visting my aunt (still a Dub). Apparently she told my mother that she hopes I don't marry a worldy person, it would be such a tragedy.

So stupid...so stupid...
