i know i've run into quite a few weirdos.
i had one guy that told us that adolph hitler was going to come back from the dead to kill all jws.
needless to say, he didn't want a copy of the watchtower!
I had a guy who thought he was Lazarus from the bible...so the brother with me wanted to prove " scripturally" he was wrong.
Hilarious. We had a lady one day that ran out on the front porch yelling "Do you know what God is backwards? DOG!" Then she started barking at us! Wow, that was creepy.

i am currently studying some of the issues of the feminist movement.
one of my first observations is that men are really not welcome in the discussion.
all the reference books and topics i have looked at so far are written by women.
I have had discussions with feminists in the past and most of them seem to be.... well..... very hate-filled. They hate men and by default all that is male is wrong. Feminists talk about men as if we are all wrong. We're not wrong, we're just different than women. If men and women were exactly alike in every way, than one of us wouldn't be necessary. My theory on male-female relations is that these women should stop trying to grow a penis and a lot of men need to quit trying to grow a vagina. How's that for crude?? Why can't men just be men and women just be women and we all just get along (except for that one week every 28 days where nobody gets along with anybody)? LOL Man..... I'm gonna get it now!
think of all the unprotected prostitutes in the world.
if their profession were legalized, they might have access to retirement plans, medical insurance, regular health exams that would protect not only the girl but the client also.
courts and society have traditionally held the body as something sacred that should not be sold, but are people not selling their bodies when they make pornos or pose for pictures or make movies or any such things?
I know exactly how to please a woman, women just don't know how to be pleased. ;-)
Ha Ha. How's that for an ego! LOL It has been my experience that the women that are easy to please don't have as many inhibitions as those who are hard to please. A lot of women are too self-conscious (I hope I spelled that right) to enjoy the experience. Anyway, how did we get on this topic? I thought we were talking about the legalization of prostitution? <-----Hey, I really like that little tounge thinge! Hmmm...... that gives me an idea about how to please women, but I don't think I'll discuss it here!
i have started this thread so that every time i see a new one i can point out how old that idea is.
congratulations.
it's great that you have obviously been able to get out without being harmed in some way - really, i'm happy for you.
Dorktacular, both of your posts have brought me to tears. You have said so much that I agree with, especially in the second one.

I think the hardest thing is to stop feeling bad about the past and start feeling good about the present. There are so many things in my present life that remind me of the bad things about the past. Holidays are a big example. I absolutely love holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Haloween, etc., because I'm so happy to celebrate with family. But, at the same time, I have a deep sadness because of what I missed as a child and how bad that hurt me then. It's hard to reconcile your past with what you have now.
when it comes to the society, are they to blame for the control they use upon the members, or is it the peoples fault?
should we blame the society for tricking people?
or is it the people that let themselves be tricked?
Ya know, I think it just might be the organization's fault. I say this because they RECRUIT members! Nobody just walks into a Kingdumb Hall and says "Hey, gimme somma THAT!". The JWs have their service meeting every week to learn new techniques to make new converts. They have "membership" drives certain times of the year to get people to pioneer to recruit more members. Most of the WBTS efforts are centered on new ways to convince more people to join. More people aren't looking to become Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses are looking for more people. That's the difference.

Sex with your partner should never be a reward for what they buy you. Maybe I am totally alone on this, I don't think so, but, sex should be something you want to give each other, out of desire and hopefully love, not do this and you'll get it mister or vice versa. Sounds like the barter system to me.
As a man, I totally agree with this, but unfortunately, most women do not. It's sad, but true. Just talk to the guys you work with and see how this is a fact of life for many of them. Too many women use sex as a negotiation tool. My wife has been guilty of it from time to time, but she's really not that bad compared to some previous relationships I've had. When she does that kind of thing to me, I try to do the same thing to her so she can experience how stupid and silly it sounds comming from me. (Besides, I'm kinda twisted, and I like to get on my wife's nerves by imitating things she does). If you have to trade goods and/or services with your spouse in exchange for sex, aren't they really a prostitute? What's the difference? You're right, sweetstuff. It should be different. It should be about love and about wanting to please your partner, not about personal gain or as a reward for stuff they buy you.
you hear a voice being projected over a loud speaker or microphone?
Hell, I get a creepy feeling whenever I visit someone's house and ring the doorbell! Haa Haa haa! I sometimes ask them if they'd like the latest edition of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines when they answer! Talk about a Pavlovian repsonse to a bell!!!!! Jeez, sometimes it sucks to be me! LOL
i know of someone who's daughter is dating a young man from the bahamas.
the girl is 20 and he's 24 and was already married to an australian woman 10 years older than him.
he has no use for his crack addicted mother and he tolerates his younger sister that seems to be on the same course as her mommy.
Ha ha. I think I might quickly get a reputation for being crude on this site, but I just have to tell you what I told some guy when he asked my about my wife. I am white. Race doesn't really matter to me. I judge everyone on an individual basis. My daughter, from a previous relationship, is bi-racial. My wife is part Indian (like from India), Chinese, Spanish, French, Black and Caribe. Beautiful island girl. :) So, this guy asked me how could I be with a black woman (even though she's all those other things, too...) and what was the difference between black women and "regular" (him meaning white) women. I just looked at him and told him that women are women and that they're all pink on the inside! SEE! I told you I was crude! I don't know if he got the point or not. Anyway, the point is, when I look at my wife, I don't see a black, Indian, Chinese, Spanish, French etc., etc., woman, I just see my wife and I know that I love her. And when most people see my wife, they don't judge her level of attractiveness by what percentage of what race and/or nationality she's made of. They just tend to look at her and wonder what a drop-dead gorgeous woman like her is doing with a hideos ogre like me! LOL My family asked my why I couldn't pick a white girl this time around. I just told them that when I went to the wife dealership to pick her out, I asked if I can have that model wife, except in white, but they were all out! LOL People are not like cars, you can't custom order them! Anyway, my wife is a good woman and my family loves her, too. They'd rather be around her than some of my brother's (conventional) wives!

Hee Hee Hee. I DO get some, but not as much as I would get if I were to present the giver of the sex with a new set of 1/2 Karat diamond earrings! (Which I am doing tonight, because it's her birthday! See, I'm not a bad guy after all!)
