Heathen,
how about a new pic with you in the wonder woman costume.I'm probly going to lose some sleep thinking about that one.For some reason, Wonder Woman never did anything for me. And, besides, are you into Damn Cute Fat Chycks?
Maybe I'll dress up as Pombagira if you ask real nice. She's a genuine Brazilian Voodoo sex goddess, the "Holy Harlot of Rio." I attend a ritual dedicated to her once a year.

what would you say if a close friend was to come to you and say: "i've secretly been studying with jehovah's witnesses and i plan to join their organization.
i know how you feel about the witnesses, but i truly feel that they are god's chosen organization.
i don't really want to hear anything negative about the society, but out of respect for our friendship, i'll let you briefly mention one reason why i shouldn't.
When I was a witness, I would have applauded the likes of Yadirf (though even then, I thought someone like You Know would have been coming on much too strong.)
I would simply show your hypothetical friend the writings of the "faithful" JW's that post here, and warn him that he is in danger of becoming just that judgemental and unimaginative.
When I finally realized that that was happening to me, I left.

when does it end, you guys?
i've been out of the org for 9 years now.
my family is still in .....and after not speaking to me for 5 years, they're now talking to me again.
Yadirf,
Only six short years ago, I could have written every word you posted in this thread.
That's why I disassociated myself. I'm so glad to be free.

what is your favorite perfume?
how do you like to smell[lol], and how do you like your significant other to smell?
is scent a sexual stimulant for you?
I don't use perfumes or even colognes, because I've developed a faint allergy to some of the fixatives or preservatives or something. So I wear essential oils, mostly. My favorites are patchouli, vetiver, and synthetic jasmine.
When I was a kid, pre-allergy, I adored Faberge's Tigress, which I don't think is being made any more. It was a very dark, smooth, woody fragrance. But my mother had a rule that no lady would "steal another woman's thunder," as she put it, so I couldn't wear Tigress, her "signature" perfume. So, at 14, I went out looking for a signature scent, and finally found No. 4711, by the same people who make Tosca. (Can't remember who makes it). My mother said she liked it as much as Tigress ... and that she would never wear it, because it was MINE.

who hopes class runs in the family...?
i am 36 yr old female originally from toronto ontario canada.
was raised jw till i was about 14. has anyone else had this happen in their hall?
the mom's (thank god never mine!
The mother yielded and prepared the food. When the food was set before the child he decided he did not want it after all. The mother coaxed, but when the child feigned illness the mother took the food away. Under his breath the child was heard to say: "Well, I really got out of that one!"
Yes, and if my kids had done that to me, I would have told them how ashamed I was of their meanness. It would have worked, too. My kids are good people today and they know it.
I've never found it natural to beat my kids. I never did it unless I was furious with them, and of course that way lies excess.
Physical punishment stopped forever in our home on the night when my son refused to eat dinner and my husband threw him to the floor and kicked him. And realized that this was not the way HE wanted to be.
GENTLY! Feral
my little niece is turning 5 soon and i'd like to buy her something special.
something that will stay with her for a while.. any ideas?
she loves barbie (of course!
so what do you guys think I should buy a 6 year old? lol....
A magnifying glass. Or one of those little hand-held ten-power microscope thingies. K-Mart has 'em, Target probably will too. I believe in buying children gifts that will blow their mind. Children don't get amazed enough. It's been a problem throughout human history

is there any particular speakers that you remember as being outstanding?
what was good about them?
did they use interesting illustrations?
I'm afraid I can't remember any talk given by a "mere" elder very clearly.
And there was only one circuit overseer I actively disliked: Doug Bradshaw. He was a relatively poor speaker. Most of his anecdotes were cribbed from conservative Protestant sources -- the awful story of the bridge guard who let his son be run over rather than derail the train was a particular favorite of his.
P.D. Moske and Sam Herd were circuit overseers when I was a JW. They could both give lively talks. Joseph Howard (then also a circuit overseer) added humility and tenderness to the mix. Francis Malaspina always had some exotic tidbits from his missionary years.
But none of them could hold a candle to Rev. Mark Belletini.

i must confess that her ladyship and i lived together for 6 months before we got married, so that must be, er...say 200?.
then we used to spend 3 nights a week gambling in tiberiuss casino, even after we got married, so.....umm, say another 250?.
i must have eaten black pudding, say, 100 times?.
I disagree with Celtic's assessment that keeping track of DF'ing offenses is "judging yourself." Whenever I feel a little stale or feckless, I go out and rack up another disfellowshipping.
Of course, it's much easier if it's close to election day or orgy night.
Besides taking lovers (with my husband's permission, but that's another thread), I've voted in almost every election since I DA'd, joined two other religions, practiced witchcraft (must be at least a thousand separate "offenses"), marched in several Gay Pride parades, and associated on a weekly basis with queer folk and practicers of false religion. Oh, and apostates. Make that daily "bad association." I don't think that would count, except that I haven't repented even once.
And, come to think of it, I totally forgot the "drug abuse."

Should I visit Babylon the Great today, or just stay home and worship my idols?
