About time the GOP had a bad week. They've given us eight bad years.
Yup! Why does the GOP hate America?
baby bush's approval rating fell another point - down to 21%.
that means that 79% of the american public are officially "bush-haters.
" the blagojevich scandal, that looked like such a windfall for obama-haters, is shaping up instead to be a testament to obama's integrity ("...that m-f-er, wouldn't give me anything but appreciation - f-him!

after years of fighting a physical disability that ended in kidney failure and several bouts of respiratory/cardiac arrestmy mom landed in the hospital last week.
the doc's said she needed heart surgery and kidney transplants but before they could operate they need to get her blood count back up.
it had fallen well below what her body could naturally restore on its own she she needed transfusions.
Oh rwagoner, I'm so sorry. Yet another family destroyed by the evil Watchtowerite cult. And all because of their pathological need to be controversial and different (i.e. "holy").
Do whatever you have to in order to honor and remember her . Do Not let them take over the memorial service .It should be a time for your family not a congregation meeting .
I hope you and your family can take ahold of the funeral services, this way it will truely be about your mother and not the JW agenda.
Good advice from Tiffy and J-Walking.
Don't let the cultists banish you to the sidelines, so that they can have free rein to brandish your mother's remains like some perverse trophy.
I am very sorry for your loss, Dan. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Happy Anniversary
Cheers, ladies!
neckties come from pagans .... ancient neckties.
for the history of the tie, see also cravat.regardless of the fact that the definition of the necktie in most dictionaries states "a large band of fabric worn around the neck under the collar and tied in front with the ends hanging down as a decoration", its history says a lot more.
men have always found it necessary to tie something around their necks.
"In men's dreams a necktie often appears as a symbol for the penis. No doubt this because neckties are long, dependent objects and peculiar tomen.
the...phallic role of ties
great big dangling tie
So0o0o0o...let me get this straight... Neckties are in fact sartorial plumage created to suggest penile tumescence...and yet, if a baptized brother refuses to wear one, he is "disrespecting Jehovah". Uh-huh.
Do you not think He laughed when sonny-boy JC created the Duck-billed Platypus?
Of course he laughed! How could he not? Goodness knows that I certainly laugh whenever I see one of those things!
i have been lurking on this site for nearly a year now and finally feel comfortable enough to begin posting.
so i thought a little introduction would be appropriate.
my whole family, except for my two sisters, are jw's.
Welcome, J-Walking, and congratulations on taking back control of your life!
My belief and love for God is stronger and deeper now than ever before
Without the blinkers and fetters of the Watchtowerites' false religion, your faith and love will continue to blossom and grow.
Well done.
i have a job in retail working nights and weekends.
i was sick of christmas music from black friday on--the first day it was played.
don't get me wrong, traditional christmas music is ok in moderation, but remixes and every tom dick and harry doing it is enough to drive one insane!
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful....
For the record Q, "Let It Snow" isn't a Christmas song, but a seasonal song (like Sleigh Ride, or Winter Wonderland). Before my fade, I would love to needle the other JWs by listening to seasonal tunes. When they would inevitably protest, I'd piously reply, "But they're seasonal tunes. Seasonal!"
would it have any effect on you at all?
The only reason that it might bother me is the fact that the labels are intended as a slur on one's character and are forms of defamation.
I agree with Scully. No one wants to be the object of slander. But it still wouldn't convince me to go back. I don't take kindly to intimidation tactics.
On a happier note, Happy Birthday, Bumble Bee!
