well people, this is a big day for me.
not only am i 50 today (ugh) but i am celebrating it.
at least i can say that so far it feels no worse than 49.lol.
Jaded,
Happy Birthday to you! Today is also my father's birthday...he hit 54 and we had a nice little party for him. I love the simple act of celebrating holidays and birthdays. Wonder what I did with all that time I had before? Oh that's right - meeting preparation, field service and meeting attendance. LOL!

have you seen the july 8 awake!
in praise of police?
is it just me, or does this example of jw duplicitous doublespeak boggle your mind as well?
If it wasn't for the Police, we would not have a society.
No, Fred, if it wasn't for the Police we wouldn't have Synchronicity.

i'm a jw and i know jw's are not supposed to have tattoos but im wondering if its ok to get my ear pierced.if anyone has any information regarding this please reply.thank you.
This reminds me of a friend I had during my last days in the borg. He didn't know my 'worldly' leanings, so he valued what appeared to be my good JW advice. He wanted to get his ear pierced and kept asking me whether he should do it or not. Growing tired of his asking, I told him to go for it. When he asked what to do about the reaction of the brothers and sisters at the hall, I simply told him not to wear it to the meetings. He then informed me that that would be living a double life and he simply couldn't do that.
Honestly, though, if you want to get your ear pierced get it pierced. It's your body...your decision.

late last night, i made a grilled cheese sandwhich and stuck "wayne's world" in the vcr.
i've seen it dozens of times, but it never stops being funny!
and i thought about how clever mike meyers is to come up with such a great character like wayne campbell... then i thought about austin powers and the fact that part three is coming out soon!
D'oh! What was I thinking?
BTW, just noticed that your name is also Brian. Hi Brian! LOL!

Of course I was, Mac.
Based on your ancestry then I'm sure you'll remember one of my personal favorites...
"If it's not Scottish, it's craaaaaaap!"

man this would be so funny to do to the elders, .
bring a cell phone and order a pizza when the elders starts talking.
stare off into space and blow spit bubbles.. .
You could always have a ham sandwich tucked safely away in your pocket to be pulled out at the most inopportune moment as you ask: "Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Not at all, hybridous. Here are a few more Dieter quotes for you.
"Touch my monkey"
"I am as happy as a little girl!"

I was beginning to think that I was the only person on the planet that actually thought "So I Married An Axe Murderer" was funny. I've seen it dozens of times and laugh all the way through it.
Some favorite quotes:
"Would ya look at the size of that kid's head! It's the size of a planetoid and it has it's own weather system! Looks like an orange on a toothpick!"
"I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Aye, now that was offsides, now wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow."

Harriett: Well, brutal's a subjective term. What's brutal to one person might be entirely reasonable to someone else.

i was raised a witness, and i was always told that demons were everywhere.
i was told that if you let your mind open to "wrong" thinking that demons will invade you and take over.
and just about anything could get you demonized.
Lisa,
So, so true about our parents being gullible. Someone earlier also mentioned how yoga was a no-no as it involved meditation which would open our minds to the demons. Well, I threw that one out the window a few weeks ago when I started taking yoga classes. Told Mom about it and she absolutely freaked out!
Shouldn't part of me not enjoy that so much?

Scootergirl - I am also drawn to the paranormal. Anything I can find on the subject fascinates me. I'm sure it's because I was forbidden from 'touching the unclean thing' as a JW. Now, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my favorite shows and I'm a Harry Potter freak. LOL! My Mother is sooo hesitant to look at my bookshelf when she visits.
Lisa - You reminded me of something I hadn't thought of in years. When I was a teenager, a family member made my little sister one of those life-sized Raggedy Ann-esque dolls. It was so beautiful and looked professionally made. My sister fell in love with that doll and kept it in a place of pride in her bedroom for years...until one day my Mom was watching Hard Copy (Yeah, I know...no Bewitched, but Hard Copy is fine!) and they showed a report about some museum of the supernatural somewhere in the middle of nowhere. They had a doll that looked exactly like my sister's. This one was in a locked case because it had allegedly killed several small children. That doll immediately went into my sister's closet and I haven't seen it since. LOL!
