I still like House a lot, if for no other reason than watching Hugh Laurie. The show I've stopped watching is Nip/Tuck. I really liked season one. Season two was so so. Now it's just awful, IMHO. I can't stand to watch five minutes of it. I have to say one show I never get tired of is Monk. Tony Shaloub is absolutely fabulous and I love Ted Levine.

Has the "House" TV show had its run? (possible spoiler)
by AlmostAtheist inguys, i love the tv show "house".
hugh laurie is perfect in the role, great supporting actors, deep character development.
the plotlines are a little formulaic, but all the dialog and character interaction makes it ok. .

The last 10 years I was a Witness I just couldn't go in service anymore. I couldn't preach something I didn't believe myself. But it took those 10 years for me to extricate myself from the dubs and my JW husband. In the meantime, I turned in five hours every month. I wanted to keep them off my back. I'm sure they knew I wasn't really getting the hours in. We had the book study in our house, for Christ's sake, and I never, ever went to the meeting for service, which was being held in my basement on Saturday mornings. Instead, I often watched people's young children while they went out. No one ever questioned me. I think they were just happy not to have to deal with it. The lie worked for all of us.

fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
by reneeisorym ini remember when i was in the dubs, there were tons of sisters all with the same set of mild depression and fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrom symptoms.
i wonder if this was related to the hell jws put you through or if it was just something one woman had to have because the other did.
i haven't heard of hardly anyone having it outside of the dubs but in the congregation about 75% of the women had it!

The last 10 years I was a dub I often faked illness to get out of meetings and service (but I was OK when it was time to do anything else--no one caught on to that). Fast forward 20 years. About five years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I started having a lot of pain; they discovered that I had an extremely high antinuclear antibody count and they ruled out everything else (rhematoid arthritis, lupis, etc.). I'm still not so sure about the diagnosis, although I do have defnite flare-ups and my entire body is one giant tender point. I think CFS and FM can be bucket diagnoses, so I'm still skeptical, even though my doctors swear up and down that's what I have.

My mom buys a lot of her medications from Canada Drugs. She's been doing it for years. They're the very same drugs sold in the US, from the same manufacturers, dispensed by licensed pharmacists, but they're a heck of a lot cheaper.

OK, this is going to date me (date my parents, actually), but does anyone know who Nelson Eddy was? He was a huge screen idol in the 30s (http://www.nelsoneddy.com), along with his singing partner, Jeanette McDonald. My parents were big fans. We have a tape, which Alan's parents gave us, of Nelson Eddy singing Kingdom Melodies. It's definitely him (his voice is easily recognizable), and since he studied with the Witnesses at one time, it's not a surprise (my mom lived in LA at the time and knew which congregation he briefly attended). On the other side of the tape is our hero Freddie Franz singing Kingdom Melodies. The man apparently thought he had quite the voice (what an egomaniac!), but my only reaction when I first heard it was a huge shudder. Yuck.

US evangelist preacher admits battle with 'dark side'
by jstalin ini think the saddest part of this whole situation is that rev.
haggard is only going to perpetuate the hate and intolerance of homosexuality amongst the evangelicals he used to represent.
one important quote from him:.

I don't feel sorry for him. He admittedly knew he was gay his entire adult life, yet he married a woman and had children and took his hypocrisy to new heights by becoming an evangelical preacher and railing against gay marriage. The hypocrisy is staggering. And, when he was outed, he lied about it, compounding his dishonesty. It's one thing to live a lie, but he should have known enough to keep his big mouth shut. There's nothing sinful about being gay, and it was obviously something he had no control over. But he *could* control his public hypocrisy. I knew so many dubs like this; it's always the most self-righteous ones who have the biggest skeletons in their closets.

We saw it last night. I've never laughed so hard in my entire life. Nonstop laugher (intersperced with groans) for two full hours. At one point I thought I was going to have a heart attack because I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. It's very, VERY crude in spots, but it's hysterical.

I had two very bad experiences, both of which happened when I was a child (9 to 10 years old). In the first, I was working door-to-door with another little girl my age, and someone shot at us. I felt the bullet (or pellet or whatever it was) whiz past my face. I never found out what kind of gun it was (it might have just been a pellet gun), but it was really frightening. In the second, my family and a couple of other cargroups were working unassigned territory. I was with an elderly brother. The householder, a huge man, was really furious about us coming onto his property. He started yelling at us as soon as he opened the door. The brother was very calm and said we would leave, but as we turned to walk down the five or six steps from the porch to the sidewalk, the householder kicked him and sent him rolling down the stairs. Then he threatened us and told us that if we went to any other houses in town, he was going to come after us. I remember that we went to the sheriff's office and filed a complaint, but I don't know what happened afterward. Needless to say, I really disliked service. By the time I was in my early 20s, I stopped going, even though I was an "active" Witness for another 10 years.
