it's a GB trick to keep you away from rational people. people who could lead you astray. you need to do things like pray, study your watchtower and keep yourself spiritually clean. while you're washing your field service outfits, for example, they're washing your brain...

long hair is so nice. if there are two men of equal attractiveness sitting at a bar or something, i'll choose the long-haired gentleman every time. so soft you just have to touch it soon, and they know this that's why they wear it like that. ;]
p..s. the longest hair on a man i dated was this pagan dude who had lovely blonde hair down to his waist. tripped me out at first, but i quickly succummed... (sp?)
p.p.s. i don't really care for mullets though... :(

JWs and the Amish
by Silverleaf inthis morning's paper had an article on the amish [nothing in depth, just about how they sell their wares at local markets] but it brought to mind the ideas of the amish - they want no part of the world, they don't like to call attention to themselves, don't baptize little children, and they shun those who leave the faith.
i was just wondering if anyone here could shed some light on how jws view the amish.
are they impressed?

i don't know about the amish, but they think mormons are weird and a cult. (well, my witness relatives do anyway). i think it has something to do with wedding night sheets and underwear, seriously. some mormon woman defected and wrote an expose' about it. she was from arizona too... at least the amish give you a year when you come of age to explore... what am i saying? they're ALL whacked.

Regular meeting attenders make the best apostates!
by ozziepost inwell, it seems from the responses to the weekend poll that being a regular meeting attender was not a protection from apostasy!!
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=33757&site=3
strange that the wts should always 'encourage' regular meeting attendance for protection.

Honda vs. Oldsmoble
by Larry inbelieve it or not i've purchased two cars (oldsmobile) through the borg connection - the circuit leasing group.
admittedly both cars were pretty reliable and pretty maintenance free.
the first car i brought from them i had to pick it up at bethel, a brother was driving it up from texas.

you will LOVE your honda. i had a honda accord and a civic and they were both excellent cars. my brother has a prlude and loves it too. they age well and are extremely reliable. but... buying from the witnesses? (shudder) :)

Robins in the Sprinkler (for Englishman)
by GatoCat inthere are quite a number of robins who daily visit my yard.
they're here in the morning and still, or again, in the evening.
to my surprise, i learned that they just love the sprinklers in my yard.

Incense_and_Peppermints
aw, how cute. i get baby doves on my lawn... after the sprinklers run, they come and hunt for worms and insects, then they'll just sit there in the wet grass letting the water soak in. it's always the same seven baby doves. they always go everywhere together. sometimes they will try to raid the seed bag on the patio. i put out birdseed in the feeder but these guys actually post two or three sentries on the front of the patio while the other ones poke the bag with their beaks, attempting to dislodge some of the seeds. it's pretty cute to watch; they're like bird gangstas or something.
one night a couple of weeks ago it rained really hard and the yard flooded. all seven of the baby doves were blown out of the eucalyptus tree and were huddled together in a clump in a middle of the back yard in a huge puddle of water. they were too scared to move. my son and i picked them all up and put them under the pine tree and in the fountain grass. the next day they were back in my flower garden nibbling on the allysium as usual... :)
oops! just realized this was for the englishman - a thousand pardons. doh!

Chances of life Life on mars!!
by haujobbz in.

i wonder what jws would say on the matter
personally, i don't care what they would say. jehovah's witnesses have done NOTHING to advance scientific progress in any way, shape, or form. they denounce the fields of science and medicine, yet are the first to take advantage of the advancements. anyway they would probably say it's just smoke and mirrors from the scientific community.
but it would indeed be wonderful if they even found water... and the tiniest microbe swimming in it would be terribly exciting!

Any Mini-Bottle Collectors? (fluff)
by Bendrr infinshed unpacking my miniature bottle collection and putting it on some shelves today so thought i'd post.. i started collecting miniature liquor bottles a few years ago.
a friend was selling stuff from her deceased grandmother's estate and there was this collection of around a hundred mini bottles.
i bought the bottles and got interested in the hobby.

no, but i collect bottle caps. i have all kinds. here's a cool thing you can do with bottle caps:
buy a cheap teracotta pot from target or wal-mart. spread plumber's putty on the outside, then press the bottle caps into the putty until the whole pot is covered with them. let dry and put a cool plant in it, like bamboo or a cactus. people always ask where you got the cool pot 'cause they want one :)
