Polyamorous/Open Relationships
by LucidSky in
1. social
2. relationships
but what makes this social taboo still unacceptable by many even today?

we'll define polyamory as a sexual or romantic relationship involving more than two persons during the same time period.

all persons involved understand this up front.

i think the problem here is that despite a whole lot of words spoken... someone almost always does get hurt. I have friends who cling to the idea that it COULD work depite many many years of pain and disapointment.
The only time I've ever seen a polyamorous thing work was when there was no romantic love at all. Merely friendship with sex. Even then, it was swimming in dangerous waters! There was some hurt involved, but it was fairly minor... especially compared to the level of pain I have routinely seen in these relationships.
There is also the exponentially increasing risk of disease from each additional party involved... I think it is a bad idea, but I don't think I need to live other people's lives for them. I do feel sad when I see my friends repeatedly hurting themselves, but I try not to judge. If that makes any sense.

Jackie Chan Fans
by LuckyLucy in

2. entertainment
my bf and i just watched "the accidental spy" on dvd.it was great!

!just when you think he can't get any better!!.

what is your all time favorite?
Witch Child

I love Jackie Chan. He is one of those people I have "adopted" as my child. (even though he's a lot older than I am.) I feel compelled to worry about him. He is such a nut! But it makes for great cinema.
One of my other favorite people is Steve Irwin. It is hard to believe that one guy could get SO MANY people interested in conserving wildlife.. and non-cuddly wildlife for the most part.
I could just HUG these two big teddy bears. :)

worst JW introductions
by sleepy in
1. jw
2. friends
what were the worst introductions you remmeber people using on the ministry?

"hello my friend and i....." .

"hello we've been talking to your neighbours, do you think we can ever see a peaceful world?
Witch Child

Really? She would just start READING at the person??? That is truly awful. I thought all the intros were pretty bad. There was one sweet old lady in one of the halls I attended that could not make a point to save her life. She would just start rambling away at the folks going on and on without ever actually SAYING anything until they shooed her away.
Yikes!

I love sushi rolls... but not the kind with raw fish in it! I love the vegetarian stuff and the kind with cooked eel or cooked crab meat in them. Mmmmmmmmmm!!!

Witch Child

i love many kinds of foods; mexican, chinese, indian, irish, swedish, english, italian, american, polish... you name it, i'll try it. however, i do not have the talent/tolerance for highly spicy food. I like peppers and spices but don't like my mouth burned. Can't live without onions, garlic, cheese or potatoes!!!!

What a sad little life...........

2. child-abuse
i heard this song on the radio yesterday, and everytime i hear it i get goose bumps and cry.

i thought i would post it , it seems to be so relevent now because of all the child abuse that is going on in the world right now.

there are so many forms of child abuse ranging in different degrees of depravity and cruelty.
Witch Child

Hmmmmm.....
I think a point has been missed. As a Pagan I find the horrible stereotypes in the song offensive, but I don't think the person who posted the song believes thoses stereotypes... nor do I think the poster who objected to the song was accusing the song's poster of being a bigot...
Peace,

5 Year Old Cousin Says Who Will Live & Die
by Scarlet in
1. jw
2. experiences
my husband and i took my 5 year old cousin to see lilo and stitch the other day.

(her mother has been a regular pioneer for 18 years) mind you this child cannot read or even count to 100. she out of the blue says to me "do you know if you do not go to meetings you will die at armagedon?

" she goes on to say that if she salutes the flag or eats birtday cake she will die and she knows her friend at school will die because she slautes the flag.
Witch Child

:Hi everyone. Sad isn't it? My kids used to tell me I was going to die too. They were really sad about me dying, till i got through to them that the jws are full of nonsense.They are happier now, though my ex continues to force them to go to meetings etc.
