i always wanted to join the girl scouts. i wanted to attend high school. i wanted to wear cute, hip clothes. i wanted to go to slumber parties. i wanted to date boys. i wanted to listen to rock music. i wanted to escape into fantasy but was told that Jehovah could read your thoughts. i wanted to explore my own body. i wanted to trick-or-treat. i wanted to celebrate christmas. i wanted valentines. i wanted to celebrate my birthday with a big pink cake with flowers all over it.

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama - I'd like to look in his eyes and finally get an answer to the question "will i ever be completely happy in my lifetime"?
Kurt Cobain - I'd convince him to leave that toxic idiot, Courtney Love, and run away with me to Tahiti.
Vincent Van Gogh - I'd like to ask him if he really saw the world that way because of lead poisoning, as many so-called experts say, or was he just being artistic...

Corporal punishment
by JustTickledPink inmy opinion is that jw's are into corporal punishment more than the general population.
maybe it's my imagination, maybe not.. do you remember being told "not to spare the rod" in disciplining children?
do you remember being that kid that got beat?.

p.s. when my sister was trying to recruit me a while back, i went with my son to a meeting one night. she told us what to wear, etc.... so worried about what people would think. they actually stationed men at the back of the hall, striking poses like bouncers and blocking the exit. my son kinda freaked, feeling like he couldn't just get up and leave if he wanted to.
anyway, the weird thing was the men and little boys all wearing three-piece suits, with vests. this one tiny kid, he couldn't have been more than four, walked by dressed in a tiny suit complete with vest tie and patent leather shoes and his hair plastered to his head with tons of goo, and wearing aviator glasses. my son leaned over to me and said sotto voce "well that's queer". i got a good chuckle outta that.
p.s. i was scandalized to see several young wives wearing low-cut dresses and heavy makeup. when i was in "the Truth" we had to be extremely modest and circumspect about our attire, etc. the young unmarried girls were typically drab, however... anyway, they all kept looking at us like we were from Mars. weirrrrd.....

that "spare the rod" scripture is a free pass for unlimited hitting, slapping and abuse cloaked in the guise of "loving discipline". even when i was getting hit i knew it wasn't right 'cause it felt so bad. i guess finding creative, insightful ways to teach your child right from wrong is too much work for some people ...

Reality check: World less happy about America
by Pathofthorns infacinating results from a global poll relating to public opinions of america in various countries around the world.. [url] http://www.torontostar.com/nasapp/cs/contentserver?pagename=thestar/layout/article_type1&c=article&cid=1035775217105&call_pageid=968332188854&col=968350060724[/url].
a major survey on international opinion released in washington yesterday shows u.s. popularity has plunged across much of the world amid mounting perceptions that the united states is running roughshod over other nations.
the planet's sole superpower commands only tepid affection, just as the u.s. government struggles to win international support for a possible military incursion against iraq as the next stage in its war on terrorism.. in fact, the prospect of a u.s.-led offensive aimed at overthrowing iraqi dictator saddam hussein has become a major irritant between washington and even its closest allies.. .

The Watchtower Society Doesn't Care About Anything
by minimus inthe wt.
society doesn't care about how outsiders view them.
they don't care about how the rank and file look at them.they don't give any credence to congregational elders or ministerial servants or pioneers.

actually, they care mightily about what the rest of the world thinks in terms of how they conduct themselves. my sister did anyway. she wouldn't allow her 24-y/o daughter to go to san francisco with her COUSIN, also an adult and a witness, because the people in the hotel might guess that they were witnesses and not know they were related and think they were fornicating. they had to consult an elder over the phone and say a prayer over the phone before they finally permitted her to go.
this is a different subject but another time she called and asked me to bring my 15-y/o son over to visit her daughter because she was depressed and really loved my son. all i could think of was a play-group mommy asking billy to come over and play.
anyway, my sister was paranoid about coming to my house one time because i had an american flag flying outside. she came over and asked me to take it down i said what difference doest it make no one knows you're a witness but she said someone driving by might see her go to her car and know and what would they think? this was right after 9/11 too. i told her there's no way i'm taking that flag down, so she left. and i respected her "religion" when i was around her, believe me. then i invited her to my house on dec. 31 'cause she said she always felt lonesome then and we weren't having a new year's party just staying up late watching mystery science theatre on tape and having yummies but she said no even though i know i am not celebrating new year's someone might see me and think i am... i said in the dark? she didn't come over.
God bless America!!!
