Hang around near a money mart in the morning and ask a witness for some rags. Plenty of depressing pix in them.

Pictures!
by FiveShadows indoes anyone have any really emotional provoking pictures pertaining to the concept of 'disfellowshipment' ... that i may be able to use for my essay?
they don't have to be real, they can be cartoonish... something like a women in tears while the witnesses throw her out...or something like that...i will have to have a link to give it credit on my work cited page or else i can't really use it.
the only other way i can see that working is if you were to include your name or the original artists name , that way i can include it under work cited as 'painting 1 by john smith' or whatever...the pictures can be sad, depressing, painful, ...just as long as they're pertaining to the issue of disfellowshiping.

Anywhere from Crescent City California to south of Monterrey Bay. No snow, doesn't freeze and not too hot in the summer. Yes, a few palm trees.
Here in Vancouver, the spring , summer and fall are wonderful, but I have had enough with the dull dark winter.

ok men of JWD help a girl out.
by LouBelle inright - so i've met this guy through a friend - he's a little older than me (38, recently divorced, though separated for 2.5 years and has a little 4 year old daughter) he is quite a nice guy, we've been going out, having dinners and just getting to know each other - right now i'm quite happy being friends.. the thing is this guy uses so much sexual inuendo from fruit to head, to pips, you name it........ i mean i don't mind at all and have a good laugh, but what i'm trying to understand is what is he ""asking"" ""sussing out"" of me - if anything?.
thing is i'm good with straight up and ask if you want to move into a sexual relationship.
don't beat around the bush, or play games (well some games are fun when you're in a sexual relationship) so guys can be hard to read....... or perhaps i'm reading too much into it - i'm just not used to dealing with older men (i date guys around my age or younger).

Although I am out of touch with dating in the 21st century, I believe the correct phrase is "hooking up". Aparrently he as some "junk in his trunk" and wants to hook up. If you are ready-hey let's hook up. Much nicer than phrases in the 20th century-like.......... . Oh never mind.

I only know one witness and from what I know of him, I no longer want to know him at all. He is a business associate and he calls me when there is a job to do.
From what I see here I can only say in my conclusion of this thread is that those who were once Witnesses themselves must have at one time had such a low self esteem during that phase of your life. Now you resent it, and you see in others this negative behaviour. Can one be taught to be this awful? I suspect deep down that you were somewhere in a stage of life that you could accept what they had to offer. Now you have learned that this behaviour is destructive-both for the people you know, and to yourself.
I have rethought my position on this thread and I believe my position was based on my life here with my own family. I still believe that family does count, but my family offers love unconditional. Perhaps there is more here that I cannot and do not wish to understand. Perhaps the people involved in the Watchtower are truly more evil that I originally understood. I thought at first they were simply misdirected, but I believe now I was wrong.
I am not at all happy to change my decision, because I will always believe in family first, but if it is truly as abusive as it seems (for all here), then I now believe you should discontinue your relationship.
I have one question to all here. At one point if anyone here(in the society) becomes truly remourseful, and you yourselves have shunned the offenders, how will you ever know it's time to make peace with that member of your family?
No one outside of the cult can argue that the society is truly evil. But I have talked to many here that have left or are slowly on their way out.
I am happy to see that the folks I have talked to here have seen their "new light". You know who you are!!! Thanks all.

Why do you HATE to cook?
by GentlyFeral inme, i love cooking.
hearing someone say "i hate to cook" is like hearing "i hate being literate," or "i hate being able to walk.
" i just don't get it.. but there must be reasons - enlighten me, ok?.

Let him know that tomatoes are one of the best foods for a male-cooking them allows the body to absorb the nutrition easier. Want a healthier prostate? Tomatoes!!! Especially tomato sauce.
Never seen anyone so pickey about food-except on comedy shows.
Nuts are full of anti oxidants and good fat.

Rim is right about zero tolerance for abuse, but I saw nothing in your parents letter except remourse. Are we all so jaded that absolutely no one ever gets a second chance? If he was such a dick, would he have even bothered to respond?
Doesn't the bible state something about turning the other cheek? I just say this because I never gave my parents another chance and now that they are all long gone, I wish I did. If it ends up a waste of time, then your conscience is now clear and you move on.
