  woman branded a hippo by internet date threatens to sue

  a woman is threatening legal action after a man she met through an internet dating agency described her as a "hippo".. romanians nicoleta popescu and gabriel malinescu had their first date after two months of on-line flirting and phone calls.. nicoleta now says she's going to sue gabriel for emotional distress.. but he says she purposefully deceived him, claiming she weighs eight stone when he reckons she's much heavier.. gabriel, 33, from bucharest, told the national newspaper: "i expected to see a blonde, blue-eyed, slim beauty in front of me.

  but what i got was a gigantic hippo.

  good replies professor and tera!

  Didn't this guy see those Circuit City commercials where the man and woman are fabricating these great cyber-bods and then they look over the counter at each other and smile before placing their respective cyber-ads?

  Does being called an 'apostate' upset you?

  by wholewheat in

  2. friends

  do all of you ex-jehovah's witnesses get upset when you are called an apostate?

  you all call each other apostates, so why should you all get upset if i call you apostates?

  if you don't like being called 'apostate', what title would you prefer?

  What Would You Have Done?

  there was a middle-aged woman in our kingdom hall who was a long time pioneer.

  she was a very warm and loving woman and so when she announced her plans for a family vacation one year some of us got together and took up a little collection so that she would have some extra money to spend.

  after all, she was working hard for jehovah and werent we supposed to show our appreciation?.

  Yeppers, another increase. Since I work with mail, I need to reprogram our machines with new software. It seems to happen alot. Actually, where the postal service really hits customers is on "special services" type stuff, like certified mail, which now costs almost $5 for a one ounce letter, or certified mail restricted delivery, which costs neatly $8 per one ounce letter. With each rate increase, such services are increased in price by almost 50 cents.

  Of course, with e-mail and faxes so popular, and with more and more people paying bills online, the overall mail volume has been decreasing for some time. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the US Postal Service.

  Maxflash,

  Please give my best to Cami! It's good to know you are there for her. We are here for her too. She and I shared some good stories about how she worked on the building of the same Assembly Hall in which I was baptized. She's a good friend!

  My wife and I both entered into marriage as virgins, though there were some 'close calls' (however those might be defined). I was almost 22, she was 19.

  And, I am happy to say, we had our priorities in order on that fateful night.....first thing we did was open all our cards and count the money.

  Good post Grits,

  Rather than actually present evidence that what is being said about the organization in the media is false or distorted, once again the tactic used is simply to dismiss everything outright as pack of lies. To those who are able to use thinking ability, it becomes obvious that the WTS is using such methods rather than addressing the real issues.

  Had Enough - good points.

  Also, Grits, interesting observation about their claim that Satan (that poor guy gets blamed for everything) is using the news media, but when something favorable appears in the media concerning jws, all of a sudden it's okay to accept it.

  Top STUPID criticisms of the WTS

  by JanH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are certainly enough valid criticisms of the wts and the jw religion, but a significant number of often-repeated criticisms of the religion are, imnsho, just ludicruous and serves to take attention away from the real issues.

  significant problems with the wts includes, but are not limited to, the shunning policy, the blood issue and of course the corporate policy of hiding child molestors.. here is a list of criticisms of the wts that i find particularly annoying to see:.

  russell was a freemason (or, even worse, the wts is part of some other large-scale conspiracy like the illuminati).

  Good thread......tera and Star, I, like you, was thinking, hmmmmm, maybe I should go back....oh wait, I still attend meetings.

  Actually, what this thread and this discussion shows me is that those or the likes of those who post on this DB are not just a bunch of raving lunatics who have no objectivity when it comes to the jw religion, as the WTS often implies. Rather, reasoned, thoughtful discussions like this reaffirm my feeling that this is a pretty darn good place to hang out and hear a different point of view.
