A JW is emailing me

by Ardilla in

friends

first of all, thanks to all the advices you sent me about having an affair with a married man.

i know that isn't a good option, but i needed to hear it from others too.

i wanted to tell you that some months ago, a jehovas witness' cousin sent me an email.

this guy's playing games with you... walk away before you get hurt. game-players are the scourge of humanity. they will take what they can from you and leave you messed up and they won't even listen to your cries as they step over your crumpled, bleeding body (figuratively speaking, of course)

reborn 2002 is the man!

reborn,.

you have the fire inside needed to take the jw's down.

however, i was wondering, what fuels your anger?

My mother believes I am an apostate and an abomination, and told me to my face how I was not the son she raised and how it would have been better had I not been born.

any woman who would say this to her precious child does not deserve the honorable title of "mother".

PREJUDICE---HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED BY IT?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i was raised in a larger city congregation.

there were many black and white families and there were other nationalities in the area.for the most part, i do not recall seeing obvious prejudice manifest in the congregation.

have you seen or experienced prejudice from congregation members?

Incense_and_Peppermints

no, never overt signs... but i have also never seen a black or hispanic elder, and i live in the southwest. also, my sister, her husband and niece, all practicing jw's, are very prejudiced. they make very snide, prejudicial remarks all the time about blacks, which i won't repeat here, but i did actually order my niece out of my house one time for speaking that way in front of my son. disgusting little hypocrites...

ooh! they always do that! they say it's a "matter of conscience" and that it's an individual choice, but then they go to great lengths to explain and include examples of what "wise" witnesses would do, and then they say "be like so-and-so". no wonder they don't get no respect. how can you respect someone who doesn't have the cajones to tell t like it really is? what wimps...

Anyone Collect Homies??

by jaccilynn in

my friends and i started collecting these little figures from the quater machines in the grocery store called homies... just wondering if anyone else has these in their supermarkets/drug stores... they are so funny... little guys drinking 40's, holding skateboards.

they're great.

check them out.... .

jaccilyn: my 15 y/o son collects homies. we get them when we go to pizza hut. he has a lot of them and is actually going to use them to make a dioramna for a future sociology project in school...

like you said:. i saw them as toys jesting about the hip-hop style that is so popular in our society today. i never looked at the toys and said, "oh look! they're latin american!" let alone latin american gangsters

i never saw them as "latin american stereotypes", and i'm half latino. i just saw them as cute and never found them offensive and still don't. my son certainly doesn't want to join a gang or think that being a gangsta is glamorous because he has these on display in his room... neither do his friends.

i have some of the ones you have, and a lot of "ho's", and a big dog and four little puppies. sometimes we take turns arranging them in different ways and stage little scenes and make up little stories about them, like this kid's in trouble because he forgot to feed the dogs, or line them all up as if they're waiting to get into the new austin powers movie, etc. Then the other person has to guess what's going on, it's pretty funny.

anyway have fun collecting homies - i do.

luv,
~incense
