  OK

  I have to admit, putting a pink tu tu on a tortured, half dead guy, hanging from a cross or a stake or whatever, kinda freaked me out too.

  I admire those who had the courage to admit it and I know that emotions running high can sometimes make people react. I have done it myself many times.

  On the other hand,

  Knowing Valis, Im sure he would have no problem with us hanging his dead corps on a pole and dressing him up in bunny slippers and an evening gown. As a matter of fact, he would probably look down upon us and LHAO.

  Ya' just gotta love him, ya know?

  Awww,

  To those who are teasing, be nice, its very hard to kick this habit!

  Jesika,

  I bit my nails all my life, it was awful.

  About 6 months before I got married, my sister mentioned that I would most likely be getting my hands photographed at the wedding, because of our rings etc.

  I could have died, I hadnt even thought of that. I was determined to stop biting them, so my nails would be decent enough to be photographed.

  This is what I did.

  I noticed what usually what prompted me to bite them was my being nervous etc. so I chewed alot of sugarless gum. I also kept an emery board in my purse or pocket. A snagged nail was also a sure way to get me to bite. If I filed it smooth before I had a chance to bite, I wasnt as tempted.

  I also tried to keep a light coat of clear nail polish on them, no matter how short they were. For some reason, I wasnt nearly as tempted to bite smooth polished nails as I was to bite jagged or snagged nails. Also, if I was really bored or nervous, I just peeled the polish off instead off, instead of biting them

  This is a picture of my nails on my wedding day.

  My sister insists they were fake but I know they werent. I was so proud of curing myself, this was the longest my nails had ever been so I painted them obnoxiously bright red, something I had never done in my life.

  I swore I would never bite my nails again, and I havent.

  I also swore I would never wear obnoxiously bright red nail polish again, and I havent.

  Well, except on maybe my toes.

  Good luck hun, I hope you can beat this.

  by Sadie5 in

  2. friends

  called the 800# listed on the back of my food stamp card.

  we're calling it a shopping card so the kids don't blurt out food stamps.

  anyway, i have funds on my card so i'm going shopping tonight.

  Sadie,

  I like the credit card, instead of paper foodstamps idea. Its alot more dignified not to mention alot less hassel for everyone. Happy shopping.

  Funny thing though, I ran a daycare for three years and found it so ironic that I would spend so much time planning and spent so much money on special meals for the kids, but they continued to only want the basic P.B. & J, Mac & Cheese & Roman noodles.

  Figures, huh?

  Watch your language boy/girl

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when we were in the org, we had to watch our language, and speak correctly and never swear.

  people knew we were jw's just by the way we dressed, but also by the way we talked.

  do you still talk in the same polite way as before?edited by - jh on 4 february 2003 19:29:28.

  Yes,

  I have to agree with the others, my kids and keep me in line. They usually let me know if I say anything offensive. I really dont swear much though and I hardly ever say the F-word. For the longest time, my kids even thought "Shutt up" was the S - word because they knew I didnt like it being said.

  Are all women psychos?

  by roybatty in

  1. social
  2. family

  im not sure if i was married to a psycho or not and am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with their ex.

  weve been divorced for 2-1/2 years and have had our ups and downs.

  because shes a diehard jw and doesnt have grounds to get re-married i get an ear full from her blah...blah.. anyway, one minute shes like "its terrible that i have to wait for you to get married before i can" and then this past weekend she calls me to talk.

  Well,

  As far as her bothering you goes, you could always just tell her that you slept with someone so she can get on with her life.....

  For real though, that whole scriptural freedom thing really gets on my nerves. My mom couldnt remarry for many years because my dad disapeared. Its like, if you cant find him, you cant prove adultry, ya know?

  The whole things just lame, stupid and dumb.

  K, I feel better now.

  BTW, Im not a psycho.

  Im just kind of a, one week, at the end of the month, psycho.

  Elsewhere and Somewhere - Are they the same???

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some people seem to be confused as to whether or not somewhere and elsewhere are the same places.

  i can understand the confusion.

  they are both from the 13th century or before they both refer to a place they are both "in" a place they both can be "to" a place they are similar in pronunciation

  Elsewhere,

  Thank you, for the minute there I thought you were somewhere.

  So if you arent somewhere, does this mean that you are nowhere?

  Very draining conversation.

  by CC Ryder in

  2. friends

  i had a very emotionally draining conversation over the phone with my mother yesterday.

  she is not a jw, she is a international bible student (russelite).

  i have not got into such a deep conversation with her since i have been out of the borg.

  CC,

  Im so sorry, I know what you are going through. Almost every conversation that I have with my JW family is draining, if its regarding religion. I can work and entire day and not be as exhausted as I am after conversing with them for only a couple of hours.

  Im beginning to think that they need to first be ready to hear the truth, or they just become angry and resentful of me for telling them anything at all. Its like we are both trying to convince eachother of something that the other doesnt believe, or just plain doesnt want to hear.

  ok the weirdest thing just happened to my coworker and i. we went to go pickup our breakfast from accross the street.

  when we got back to our building we walked over to the elevators and as we turned the corner we saw someone get into the elevator before it closed.

  we didnt see the person exactly but we saw their leg or whatever passthrough before the door closed.

  Hi crazy,

  Oh sorry. I wasnt calling you crazy, I just said your name, honest....

  Maybe the ghost or spirit was flirting and showing you some leg.

  Seriously, I honestly believe that there could be alot more to this existance than we are currently aware of, or understand. I think anythings possible at this point.

  The thing is, it could have at least held the elevator for you. How rude, ya know?
