this ruddy bird has been driving me up the wall for ruddy days with it's ruddy call, at first i thought it liked me, thought it might want to mate with me or something.

every time i got close to it, it would put out it's feathers in this enormous and beautiful display.

today however, would the ruddy bird do it for me, ruddy thing is as cantankerous as valis.

Oh Celty!!! What gorgeous pictures. I think Peacocks are the most beautiful bird ever. You are very lucky to have such a glorious creature stalking you.

p.s. is this a WILD bird? Where did it come from?

I agree with you Simon. Gone are the good old days of an American visiting Europe for cheap. Now you Brits and Europeans are at the advantage to come here. I was in Madrid in February when the Dollar hit an all time low against the Euro.

Are We Still Judgemental?

has being or associating with jehovahs witnesses made you more or less judgemental of people?.

has it been wiser to be judgemental or less judgemental?

ApagaLaLuz

It's so funny because as a "witness" I thought I was terribly tolerant. I thought I was soooo open-minded because I was taught about a Global Brotherhood and equality among races. However, after leaving I realized I was only tolerant towards those who were witnesses, and I had to learn a whole new form of tolerance. As far as being judgemental, I was terrible judgemental as a JW.

It took me leaving, and finally being in a situation that I had long judged, for me to learn not to judge others, especially if you've never been in their situation. Sure I still find myself making judgement calls, I'm not perfect. At least now I have the ability to realize I'm doing it and try not to.

9/11(Film) - Freedom burning alright

by catchthis in

so have you seen the film yet?

what was your impression of it?

here was mine: .

ApagaLaLuz

From what i heard from my friends who served in the US Military who came back from Iraq, the general Iraqi population welcomes the change in government. They are friendly towards the US soldiers. They realize that the US soldiers being there does more good than harm now.

Oh yeah? Your friends must not have been serving where my friends were

Did Being a JW Make You a Bully VICTIM in SCHOOL?

by Smoldering Wick in

i read this article in the montreal gazette that talked about a young witness kid being bullied in school.

it made me think back to all the times i was treated differently in school for being a jehovah's witness.

i grew up in a predominately mexican community and went to public school there from 1st-12th grade as a jw.

ApagaLaLuz

I agree with DH I was more isolated than bullied. I'm a fighter, so I suppose it was a good thing I never got bullied. Junior high was hard though, because I was overweight and poor so I did get made fun of, nothing to do with being a JW though. By the time I went to highschool I was a drama geek and thought I was too cool, and knew more than the rest of the kids my age there.

MORE THAN TIRED OF THE POLITICAL CRAP!

by Valis in

jw
friends

so, even after we agree there is too much politics, some here have decided to keep going over the same bullshit time after time.

stuff they have no control over.

stuff that pisses people off at one another.

ApagaLaLuz

I for one, welcome political debate. I mean for god sakes as a good little JW we were to remain nuetral and werent allowed to discuss politics. Especially due to our current political situation as a country I have become very interested in Politics.

But I agree, there really is no need for name calling, and all it does is make a sorry representation of whatever party you claim to support. I figure, I'm probably not going to change your mind, and you're probably not going to change mine. I'm all for a discussion, but certainly not an argument. When I find someone becoming argumentative with me, I simply stop replying, no need for a rebuttle. And to be quite honest what some one on an online message board says about me isnt really important.
