  Taking a moment to smell the apostate flowers

  i was just thinking about how good we have it compared to the "apostates" of the past.

  back in the day there was no support system like there is here on jwd.

  you couldn't just sit down to your computer and find scores of people feeling the same way you do.

  TSA now allowed to take laptops from you

  not content with taking your shoes and confiscating your water, now the department of homeland security is gunning for your laptops.

  as the washington post reported yesterday, border patrol and customs agents can now detain laptops for a reasonable period of time to review and analyze information.

  they dont need probable cause under the new policy.

  Your thoughts on Wicca?

  by Texman55 in

  somebody who's become a friend is an ex catholic....pretty knowledgeable on all the mainstream christian doctrines and history etc....now into wicca beliefs....not a actual member, but in tune with the ideas....mediation, incense, being close to the earth yada yada.

  not real wound up with it, not pushing it on me.....and theres no way i would ever go there.....just not my style, and think i am over any organized religion at this point.. a good friend, good person.....he cant really explain why he's into all that except it feels good....but i'm a little uncomfortable.....sad to say i think it's a holdover from the jw fear and loathing of anything remotely "demonic"......i'm a good researcher, and in 15-20 minutes on the internet i know i could dig up all the lowdown on wicca beliefs/practices/history etc.....and i know without looking it up that its all just a made-up job like so many other groups we know.....but i hold back because i'm afraid if i knew more i'd feel really uncomfortable with my friend.....i know, i know that's so lame....lol.

  just wondering if any of you have any experience with the wicca thing, and what you think about all that.

  I just came from my elder's meeting

  just to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.

  so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.

  i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

  As I heard it said on a radio show,
  
  you're going to be too young for Medicare, and too old for co-eds to care.

  Due to your past and current privileges, this will not die down.
  
  They will get at least two to agree to something, and they will reprove or
  disfellowship you. They are calling other countries? They are not going to rest until you are reproved or disfellowshipped.
  
  Disassociate or just fade away.

  Disfellowshipping isn't new-the history of Southern Disfellowshipping

  ok, so i'm doing research on my family.. we've been in this country since 1650, and like lt. dan on forrest gump, i have had someone from my family fight and die in every us war.

  so my family came to georgia in 1789, they were given a land grant for their services in the revolutionary war and settled here near uga/athens.

  when they came to the area known as "goose pond" there was only one church that was established.... it was called "millstone creek" baptist.

  Mmmm.
  
  No corresponding reinstatement records, huh?
  
  I am curious as to how much time they took to "let them back into the fold."

  Is Lindsey Lohan gay?

  recently there was an uproar about ms lohan's sexuality.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080802/ap_en_ot/people_lindsay_lohan.

  while i am the first to say how disappointed i am in this woman, who played some great disney characters as a child and then turned in to one of those super party whore girls, as an adult.

  i actually find the prospect of her being gay, and perhaps settling down a bit ... good.

  Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?

  when i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?

  ?.

  John Wayne - unbalanced personality. If you mimic him, you look like a fool.
  
  Burt Reynolds - same.
  
  flip side
  
  Ryan Seacrest - closet homosexual. Not a real metrosexual. Do I have "proof" that Ryan is a closet homosexual? No. Just that he doesn't fool the Friends of Dorothy.

  } and be more ambitious like her since she would have been a millioniare if i wasn't holding her back?

  hi... my name is chrissy & i have been away from the "truth" for 8 years now.

  i married a "brother" when i was 20. i was humiliated by the "elders" in the backroom for oral sex & publicly humiliated but never disfellowshipped.

  my husband & i left the truth together after moving away from the area where we lived when we were witnesses.
