it seems as if they have survived it all.
bad press such as articles on molestations, neutrality, blood, defections of high ranking officials, crazy changes in doctrines, financial stresses, passage of a 100 years without one prophecy coming true.
yet they are still going strong with new members being recruited at a faster level than those who leave.

to the household of dog, hades, and those who go with you... may you have smoke [on the water]!.
as you know i have, for many years now, related to you that i hear the voice of the dog shepherd, the smoked one of hades and vodka spirits, auhsehaj hajahcisim [abbreviated in the ancient texts as grim, a four consonant tetragrammaton meaning smoke, drunk, and savior].
over such years i have received many questions and comments, and engaged in various debates regarding the validity of that name and my translation of it's transmutations throughout the ages including several redacted engagements of the original name.

him: "i just wanted to let you know that i never had any intention of causing any harm.
and i apologize for anything that seemed that way.".
I've been alone all my life. I constantly remind myself of this credo: As bad as being lonely is, it's better to be alone than to be in a bad relationship. It's about the only thing that keeps me from going bonkers over this...

i just thought i'd start this topic about facebook privacy settings as i am seeing it come up on here and other forums a lot where you have people who are on facebook and then their jw family or friends are requesting to be friends with them and they don't know what to do!!
we are hearing it time and time again: you "friended" some jw family member, long-ago pioneer partner, etc, etc.
that person then goes through your facebook profile and sees everything you've written, your photos of you and your new life including holidays, partners, worldly activities, etc, etc.
I was there the first time for only a couple of months when I was still in. It was so annoying to me and I didn't find much use for it, espcially 'cuz none of my family was there. I deleted my account soon after.
I'm only there now because of a project I was part of recently. I signed up under an AKA 'cuz I just don't trust FB with my real life details at all.
Most of the borg I used to know are still there and I don't want the world or any of them knowing what I'm up to. Filthy spies...

These topics have always been of particular interest to me and that's why I continue to comment on this thread.
You yourself have admitted in other posts that you like to see a good fight, CD. As a friend, I would urge you to try to use just that little bit of extra tact with WD, even IF she is every bit the drama queen that you think she is. Love ya.

Who's getting hot and bothered? I'm just having fun here...

We'll return to this episode of "As the FAIL turns..." after these commercial messages...

Sure. Discussion. I thought that was supposed to mean calmly talking things over, not to bicker childishly. But whatever game y'all wanna play...

Might I kindly point out to folks here that none of us were there except WD and the, er, creep. Can't we simply trust the poor woman's judgement and leave it at that? She's not some silly teenybopper anymore. Geez...
