  I still haven't had a proper birthday since getting out of the Cult 12 years ago. I hope that this year will be different but with the way our finances are at the moment it looks like it will be another "Oh yeah, Happy Birthday" year. :/
  
  *Hugs* and Happy Birthday to you! I hope your day is better than you expect it to be. :)

  I had a hard time learning about dinosaurs, cave men, and the likes in Science class at school (dating back millions of years) while being taught that the earth was only thousands of years old at KH. Scientists were wrong and that was that, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it was such a HUGE time difference. We're not talking a few hundred or thousand years...we're talking MILLIONS of years. Oh, and that cave men didn't exist...well, then who was the frozen guy they found that wasn't quite developed the same as us? The whole explanation just never sat right with me.

  sometimes i think, i wish i could sing this old song to the witnesses: "if they could see me now, ...".

  i thought you'd get a kick out of this, don't laugh - i've entered this drag competition and i wondered if you could vote for me...you will see my history of drag and imagine this - shots of me as myself...hahaha!

  feel free to leave a comment there too if you like the photos!

  Clothing in the New Order

  the society teaches that once the new order is up and running, we will achieve perfection as adam and eve once were.

  if thats the case, why do they portray folks in the new order as fully clothed?

  i thought clothing was the result of sin, so once sin is eliminated, should not clothing be also?

  The existence of children in the artwork portraying "Paradise" would be inaccurate, as well, if this is the case:
  
  "There will be no procreation or elimination, thus no genital parts to cover."
  
  It is said there will be 1000 years of cleaning up to do...by the time the earth looks like that there will BE no children! Well, maybe the ones resurrected...but how long is that going to last...maximum of 18 years until everyone is an adult with no genitals? Fun, fun.

  so it's official my little channel of tough questions for jehovah's witnesses has made someone's little jw switch turn off.

  i got a private message today from an active witness who both himself and his wife now say that "i now see that jw's are all about interpretation and not some special understanding".

  figures that i'm almost done with the series too lol, i've got one more update to do before my final question that i've come up with for the series.

  Taken from the Wiki:
  
  Reasons for wearing high-heels, which are almost exclusively aesthetic, include:
  
  * they change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves
  * they change the wearer's posture, requiring a more upright carriage and altering the gait in what is considered a seductive fashion
  * they make the wearer appear taller
  * they make the legs appear longer
  * they make the foot appear smaller
  * they make the gluteal muscles more defined while wearing tight pants
  
  Reasons for not wearing high-heels include:
  
  * they can cause foot pain
  * they can create foot deformities, including hammertoes and bunions
  * they can cause an unsteady gait
  * they can shorten the wearer's stride
  * they can render the wearer unable to run
  * altered forces at the knee caused by walking in high-heels may predispose to degenerative changes in the knee joint
  * Women who wear high heels frequently have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease of the knees. This is because they cause a decrease in the normal rotation of the foot which puts more rotation stress on the knee
  * Podiatrists often comment that 75 percent of their business is caused by females wearing tall high heeled shoes.

  Dealing with my girlfriend's family.

  i've been with my girlfriend for about 4 months and she has a big family who are always around.

  they are nice people, and i get along with them fine.

  they now want to meet my family and have even given an ultimatum that if they don't meet a family member within a month, they'll 'make' her break up with me.

  I'd tell them if they want to meet your family so badly they can go to <insert name of your family's Kingdom Hall here> but that you, personally, do not wish to associate with them yourself. :P Do they even know most of your family are JWs? That knowledge in itself might be enough to get them to back off about meeting them.

  many of you know that i had bilateral vocal cord paralysis.

  the cords were in the closed position and required tracheostomy.

  i had the trach for about 5 months.

  April, I had a botched thyroid surgery. That is what caused my breathing difficulties. I haven't been the same since. If the doctors can't get meds to control it, I want the trach back in. I was serious as a heart attack when I told the doctor that.
  
  
  That is horrible! My friend is having a lot of thyroid issues and may need surgery. I really hope things go better for her than your result because the poor girl has enough on her plate already. :( I would want the trach back in, too, if it was the difference between being able to breathe or not! *Hugs*
