Makes sense. I could see 3-d movies messing with my mind after a few glasses of wine but I would probably enjoy it. I will have to test that out at my folks house when they buy the 3-d glasses.
I can only imagine what it would do to someone who injested halucinogens.
@rockmehardplace: that depends on the genre. GILF's in 3-d might give me nightmares. lol
-being a kid and wishing the rain would stop so I could go outside and play
-a new beginning. wash away the filfth and start over
-how much traffic is going to suck because these idiots still can't drive in the rain even though we just survived TWO blizzards in one month
I enjoy thunderstorms now that I'm not afraid Amargeddon has arrived when it's thundering and lightning outside.
that is all
my favorite is strawberry fields (kashi brand)..
Frosted Shredded Wheat until my filling came out last month.
Kid's cereal until they started giving me the runs. That's when I knew I was officially an adult.
That is all.
i have noticed a lot of newbies lately.
(i also noticed that after being absent for a year happy1975 is making a return visit.).
so, if you are a brand spanking newbie, post here and tell us a little about your interests, your state, your new direction in life, your favorite things, whatever you want to say---this is your thread.. .

I am a born-in.
kicked out of mother's(JW) house as a young teen...lived with father and his wife (non-JW's)...10+ years later, I finally put two and two together when I found this website...apparently JWN is the #4 website for the google search, "newly weds sewage jokes"...perfect timing since I've been going through a bit of melt down for the past six months...piecing together why I do this and why i don't do that...socially arkward is an understatement, more like non-social...what I've learned--it's okay to make friends; it's okay to trust; yes, you can be loved and it doesn't have to be conditional;...I'm Perfect, Your Doomed was vital to my healing process...need to see a therapist and work through the social issues...haven't spoken to mother in 12yrs. and don't plan to start now...10+ years of wallowing in a mental purgatory...now I'm finally free and I'm not alone anymore...I want to help others
also, I'm not afraid of thunderstorms anymore. they don't mean that Armagedddon is here.
randy watters, owner of freeminds.org father just died a couple of hours ago from pneumonia and alzheimers.
he was 86 years old.
as randy has been tireless in his efforts to help countless people come out of the wts, i would like to express my sincere condolences to him at this time.. .
My condolences to you and your family Randy
i spotted them out in fs on my block as i turned into my driveway, so i waited for them to come around to my side of the street.
they were in a huddle, 2 sisters and 2 brothers- the brothers had a young boy around 6 with them to get sympathy.
i had my 1924 wt book, the way to paradise, in hand and approached them.
moshe, your story reminds me of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the knights retreat from the bunny's cave---
"Run away, run away!"
i have been wondering lately...do some stay in the borg for the control?.
let me expand that question.
do some currently in the disorganization stay specifically for the sense of control it gives them over others(mate, children, family, friends) and the way it lets them have perceived control of others?.
lol @ babygirl. I hear you on the black-on-black crime. Perhaps that's why my mother and I don't speak. It's safer that way. lol
brothers and sisters.
please take your seats.
the 2010 district convention of jehovahs witnesses is about to begin.
This probably applies to the local convenstions more than the DC's but did anyone else meet their friends at the baptismal pool so they could stare at it's mezmorizing ripples of righteousness?
I miss the roast beef sandwhiches packed the little packets of bbq sauce. My mom never let me have that stuff except at the conventions.
And boys. But not the dorky ones who talked about StarTrek. No, no. I'm talking about the ones who had parents who were "weak in the truth". The ones who my mother would never let me marry. Sigh, rebels are hot.
for me, it was always the theocratic ministry school/field service meeting.. strangely, i never minded giving talks, because i always wanted to perform and have virtually no stage fright.
but, listening to some of the deadly dull talks used to make me look at the clock a lot.
i always felt sorry for some poor slob who had to give his first bible reading on something like job's daughters raping him after getting him drunk.. i swear i think our school overseer did it on purpose because he was a mean sob.. and, i hated field slavery as my parents became witnesses when i was about 12, never did get a good attitude about it.
Field service is the WORST, especially when I had summer vacation.
Tuesday night bookstudy. I mean it's right in the middle of the week and it's not even hump day! I remember starting 6th grade at a Middle school with 8hr days (7:30- 4pm or something). I wasn't used to the long days or homework so, I fell asleep at bookstudy the first week of school. Of course, one of the Elders made a comment to my mother. This is one of the few times my mother actually defended me and explained to her that I was still adjusting to the new schedule. Now, you know I wasn't allowed to get away with it next week but that small victory felt pretty sweet.
this is the comment that my husband made to me this morning about his mom.
i felt terrible for him.
his childhood was very jw structured.
QE,
I understand can empathize with your husband. It might be helpful to remind him of the love he has for your kids. He may not be able to change how his mother feels but he can stop the cycle of conditional love by showing them the kind of love of love they need. HTH
