  with all the hoopla going on over tiger's indiscretions, are you of the mind that sport's players should be role models?.

  i don't.

  to me, they're only gifted athletes, nothing more..

  Ned was hot. Just like a JW Pioneer. And he had a much better car.

  Tarzan wore a loin cloth for a reason. Duh! Those gorillas taught him well. No grabbing the sack in public. (monkey see, monkey do is no excuse)

  I don't think or expect sport heros to be role models.

  Tarzan? Yeah, I thought Tarzan was a great role model. Think about it--he was strong, really buff, could talk to the animals and could survive in the New System. I was enthralled with Tarzan (not so much Jane, she was taking my place as Tarzan's squeeze) and wanted to be like him. I wanted to swing from the vines and talk to the animals. That way, when, after Armageddon of course, I was all ready for Paradise in the New System. The Paradise that Chicago would become of course. Just like the rain forest the Paradise book showed.

  Then I woke up and realized that Nancy Drew was, perhaps, a better role model.

  Do I still dream of Tarzan? Only after a glass or two of wine.

  Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!

  i know that what counts as swearing differs alot from region to region, amongst the words i heard used were "crap, bloody, shit, git, bastard, bitch" and the dubs who used these words would say that they didn't belive they were swear words at all!.

  I spoke to my ardent JW mom yesterday.

  Her--"That MotherF&cking azzhole hasn't paid me yet." She went on to curse and call someone, non-JW a few more names.

  We chatted and hung up. I never said a word to her about her language. In front of other JWs, she is a picture of demureness. In front of family, she is like a character from the Soprano's. One of the men.

  I learned every curse word I know from her. And I know some really dirty words.

  One of those writers reaaallly likes Raggedy Ann.

  Creepy.

  Oh, and that yawning wolf is right above her head. Raggedy Ann's. Poor wolf wondering why he didn't get off'd at the Big A. "Why the F am I stuck laying here when I could be eating them in the Old System? How the hell did *I* make it through? What am I gonna survive on? Grass? Who the Fck eats grass? Elephants eat grass. Wolfs don't eat grass. See the teeth? Our teeth didn't evolve to eat damn grass."

  right... so i've hung around on jwn for a while now, but i simply can't figure out where an ministerial servant stands in the hierarchy scheme of the wts.. there's the r&f or rank & file.. then there seems to be the microphone handlers, sound checkers, donation bin watchers, index card for territory managers, person who is in charge of the books, etc.. then there are elders.

  circuit overseers.

  bethelites.

  Somehow, all those pics, above, go right along with the Paradise book creativehoney posted the PDF for.

  The first thing I thought of is exactly what those pictures depicted and Elder WannaBe.

  Hmmm, I recall the Great Teacher book being much more graphic. They really have toned it down! My old orange/ginger colored book had eyes being plucked out by crows and buildings being flown into by airplanes. Oh, and let's not forget the little child falling into the earth which had opened up to swallow her.

  Now, pfft. It's a kid getting harassed on the street and what looks like a bad fire in a urban area. Kind of like a John Cameron movie set. (see pages 245-247)

  As for the good stuff, post-Armageddon, it hasn't changed. All wild animals suddenly tame. The lions, polar bears, cheetahs etc., all just lying about being petted by, yes, all the little kids. Who are walking around picking berries for dinner. Yum. I'm sure those former omivores will really enjoy eating grass. (page 252)

  Oh, and that polar bear playing with the cheetah? The wolf yawning on the river bank pretty much says it all.

  It's just a dream.

  2. relationships

  well, let me tell you about my experience in dating a married woman about a year ago or so, i was dating a married woman, she did not tell me that she was married, but i found about it and i told her that i know that she is married, then she decided not to see me.

  she is really hot.

  well recently, i learned that my recent date is actually married, but she is also really hot, should i keep my mouth shut not telling her that i know that she is married, so i can keep the relationship with her, i would not mind because i really like her..

  Nice. You both have really moved the ethic meter up a notch.

  NOT.

  Oh, you might want to ask Tiger Woods how a golf club to the head feels. I hear his wife Elin has a wicked back swing.
