Welcome! I hope you enjoy the board as much as I have in the last year. Like Guest said, it moves quickly so new posts are buried quickly in the avalanche.

i read your reply to 'not fitting' and i'm sorry to hear that only one person welcomed you to the board.
you have to forgive some of us because the board moves quickly and trying to read as many posts as possible and make replies is a chore within itself.
anyways, welcome and i think i speak for others.

i've read a lot of threads of late, where people stated when they did something wrong they would go the elders the next day and confess.. i find this truly bizzare !!!.
okay, maybe i didn't have a conscience as a jw, i did alot of things wrong, but, that would be the f--kin' day i would go to the elders and confess anything.
i would never tell those old goots anything, because then they would have something to hang over you for a long time.
After I was molested, never trusted any adult enough, much less the elders. I was a cynic from age 4.

alright who here has one of those pesky nieghbors to deal with?
i have mine across the street and boy are they a hoot.
they crank about everything.
Speaking of nekkid:
Where I used to live, on the next acreage, was a very cool old hippie guy. He moved out to this small town because he loved the people. But they didn't love him. He was just too way out there for their farmer tastes. I called him the "nekkid farmer" because he would get on his tractor, with his g-string, cowboy boots, cowboy hat and bandanna and mow the front of his acreage up near the county road. He used to raise garlic, so I'd go over to his house to get some garlic, and he'd have his big old stash of mary jane in a big bowl on the coffee table. Snicker. He was on the volunteer fire department. The corner I lived on was called "Dead Man's Bend" because on Saturday nights drunks would come roaring around the corner and land straightaway in the hay field. One night, a truck crashed and the volunteer fire department was called out. One man escaped into the hay field and the other was unconscious and not breathing in the ditch. Nekkid farmer started giving him mouth to mouth, and from what I hear tell, another neighbor happened on the scene and told another neighbor "Well, if he saves his life now, it won't do no good, because he'll die of AIDS in the future. I wouldn't let that guy anywhere near my house if it was on fire." Sheesh! Here nekkid farmer was trying to save this guy's life and this other neighbor was so rude and wreckless.
In a few months, we had a town meeting about the fire department. Nekkid farmer had quit after he heard about this comment. I had started calling the town Hooterville after the town on Green Acres. Well, someone said HE was the one who started calling that and they all started arguing. Nekkid man was there and he and I just looked at each other and smirked. After that, he was arrested for throwing rocks at neighbor's cars on the road and one of those farmers got out and kicked his nekkid butt. He put up a string of Christmas lights on the top of his house in the shape of a hand giving the bird, facing the road. Then he put an old toilet out there near the road. Hehheheh. I miss that guy.
My new neighbors are pretty reclusive. They have old toilets on their porch, but at least they keep their yard neat. The man goes outside dressed like a minstrel and plays the pan flute in the back forty. Kind of interesting on spring mornings at 5 a.m. They're okay. Our other neighbors live in what we call The Shithole. They have old cars, skinny cows, and just junk all over the place. Buncha white trash drunks. But they're around the corner, so I can't see em. Gotta love those rural neighbors. <grin>

i have noticed that when the ladies post pictures of "hunks" these guys have no body hair.
when i was a gymnast many of the guys would cut their hair real short and shave their chests and stomachs and oil them to get a better, more defined look.
i always thought chest hair was "manly" so i never did it.
I *love* hairless, except for the legs. Really hairy well defined legs are my thing! I was married to a Mexican the first time, and he only had one hair on his chest. My second husband is a big hairy teddy bear. But I like to take the Bic lighter and set his little forests on fire. <grin>

....don't really know how to phrase my question any better than that.. see, i left when my daughter was 12 and my son was 19. but they were both ready to leave years before that!.
at 17, my son heard a talk about conforming to the borg.
"don't put any energy into being different," the speaker said.
I always *felt* it wasn't right, but never really could pin down the reasons. I think my first doubts were when I read Darwin's "Origin of Species" out of the Kingdom Hall library when I was 9 years old. I just grew up with the feeling it wasn't what it was made out to be, and it took the Internet to give me the reasons. I never liked their bad attitude towards women: I resented wearing the doilies on my head. My brothers laughed. I resented having to do *all* the work in the house just because I was a female, and hated the condescending way people talked to me. I hated being different for no good reason in school, and resented that my Mother was always out pioneering while leaving me with her four womb expulsions to take care of, beginning at the age of seven. It was a hateful, bossy religion with no end in sight.

ok in another thread found here i found here http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/11/55200/1.ashx it references some articles by roberta moore, whos children were killed and she is blaming the wts (and i don't doubt it at all), you can read about it in that thread and corresponding links.
now as much as i feel for this person, because i know, this cult is responsable for countless deaths all over the world be it from suicide, "persicution", the blood issue and the list goes on.
i wonder if these pictures are for real in what she is claiming or can we go to any picture and find hidden symbols that are just the way the picture was drawn, with no real meaning at all.
The Society's artists are very good artists. They would know the natural flow of fabrics, positions of hands, feet, etc. in relation to the stance of the human body, shapes of clouds, flow of light onto different objects, and the resulting shadows. While some of the "subliminalities" may, or may not be purposely drawn in, they are too vague to form a definite opinion of the artists intent, in my opinion. However, *some* of them definitely are completely out of context in their form, fashion, or style for the areas immediately surrounding them. It is my opinion that the artists were too masterful to make such obvious mistakes such as these particular ones, and they wree obviously put there to attract attention. The intent behind them could be anything: an "easter egg", a signature of some sort, evil intent, I don't know. But, as an artist, I can definitely say that they look too out of place to be a mistake by such credible artists.

i can't believe i'm starting a thread on this after four years of participating on jw discussion boards.
lately there seems to be a band of posters who believe that all opinions must be respected (wtf?).
they believe that any type of criticism or alternate viewpoints constitute an 'attack'.
We're all hypocrits in some way. Some behaviour we dispise, we still in engage in. I doubt you could find a one of us that didn't engage in some behavior that we find totally distasteful. I know I have, with the gossip.
But, it doesn't mean we don't recognize it and try to fix it. Hypocrisy means that you are STILL engaging in the behavior and talking down bad about it at the same time. It's kind of like when Dr. Laura, the queen of morals, found out that her "bad" portraits of her in the nude and posing in pretty compromising positions, was al over the internet. At first she tried to say it wasn't her. But it was. She just finally said that it was her, but that was back when she was a "bad girl." I didn't like that she denied it at first..but she was really embarassed. But she finally admitted it was her, and that she WASNT a hypocite because she had changed her views since that time. She's right.
Being a hypocrite means that you KNOW that the behavior that you are doing is totally contrary to what you know. It doesn't mean past corrected behavior. It means that you know that that behavior is wrong and you don't do it anymore.
That's what bugs me about people using the world: judging. Everyone judges everything every day. OUr whole Society relies on people making judgments. Like.. if you are walking in a bad neighborhood, and youknow it, you've made a judgement. You say to yourself that it is MOST LIKELY that something bad is going to happen just by judging the neighborhood's record. Another thing: you make judgements every day when you look at the price of one soup against the other. The PROBLEM IS: if you make a CONVICTION of the person, which you have no right to do, only God can do that,
