  I used to wear Levi's for the longest time but then one day I got fed up with the fit and tried a pair of American Eagle's. Wow, what a difference. Great fit and the style is one that I like - esp the Carpenter's.

  I think jean brands are like shoes. Certain companies fit certain body types better than others. For tennis shoes, I've always stayed with Asics. It's not that I don't like other brands, it's just that other brands don't fit my feet as well as Asics do.

  I'm surprised Crumpet hasn't asked to everyone to turn this into a take a pic of your ass in your favorite pair of jeans and post it thread. She does need some ideas of which jeans to try, right?

  In your "opinion" are "DF" treated worse than "DA" ex-jws? Are equally?

  when i was growing up in the 70's you rarely heard about "so and so" has "disassociated" themselves and are no longer one of jw's.

  that was how i remember a jw's sister being announced as "da" in 1975. her family and my family were best friends and it sent chills down my family's back.

  i was very young and i kept asking my mom, "can we speak to sister x-witness" "is sister x-witness still a jw's" "will she be destroyed at armaggeddon?

  It is because of these two distinctions, or labels, that I took the path that I did when I was df'd. I certainly could have da'd myself, but I wanted the elders to df me instead. In my 32 years time as a jw, a da'd person was viewed as much more worse than a df'd individual. As has already been pointed out, a da'd person intentionally and willfully leaves jehover. A df'd person could have had a moment of weakness but the elders still df'd them for whatever reason(yes, even as a hardcore jw, I knew that elders sometimes made mistakes when df'ing someone). I felt that if I was df'd, all of my old friends would look upon my person better than if I were to have da'd. I know, there is no difference in the end between the two, but there really is in the back of someone's mind. I know I felt that way and so did many of my friends and family.

  I can't stand Mentos commercials. And now Orbit gum seems to be using the same ad agency as Mentos...I can't stand theirs either.

  And being in the cellular industry, it blows my mind that Alltel uses the tagline of, "Come and Get Your Love." WTF is that supposed to mean??? It makes absolutely no sense!

  Get out and find new friends. Immerse yourself in a hobby or sport that involves other people. Go out with those people. Have drinks with them.

  These things have certainly helped in my life.

  Once they blow through their windfall from selling off Brooklyn, the congregations will begin to consolidate and kh's will be sold.

  Below is a URL to search results, look for Stuart Chamberlain and see the ones he's wrote.

  This is really funny considering that his "press releases" consist of him cutting & pasting an entire wt article! I see he hasn't changed one bit in over two years time. He still couldn't formulate his own opinions on the Knocking board. He merely posted links or c&p'd wt quotes. Amazing research capability there. I swear he and "sklemetti" were one in the same.
