  Broken - " I opened this thread because of who posted it. I had a feeling it wouldn't be serious."

  ouch! But fair enough.

  I try to stay away from expressing my unvarnished ruminations. I am just as opinionated as any 67 yr old. So, I try to inject humor without being a class clown. I must admit, I do post some silly humor simply because it makes me laugh.

  But, back to this thread. I have posted before about the uncanny frequency of thread titles with butchered spelling. This is another category of notice.

  I've said it as plainly as I can, above. Not a big deal, but if you are going to write (not paste) your thoughts, experiences and opinions, why not put some thought into the thread title that indicates it is worth reading?

  Shirley - (not a hijack, I hope. But have the recent subway pushing incidents made people leery of being at the front?

  When I was in Tokyo it made me nervous to be at the front with hundreds behind me. On the other hand, if you were at the back you might not get on the train.

  There are no birds on the beautiful tropical island of Guam because of a single invasive species of brown snake.

  January 2013 warns parents to resist contact with df'd children again

  by stuckinlimbo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  see page 15-16. full of "straw men" like:.

  * do not blame yourself it is the child that jehovah blames - parents do not care whose fault it is they just want their child not to be killed by god.

  * it is ok for parents to hope their df'd child returns - was anybody really asking if that was wrong?.

  Why is a teaching that claims to be iron clad, take it to the bank truth be so paranoid that they would demand that close family not even speak to a family member who doesn't believe it?

  This is the dead givaway.

  The real control is threat of disfellowshipping. Fear not love.

  It used to be you could talk about, la la, recipes, or health problems or the weather. Now that is off limits.

  They are running scared!

  I think there is a tendency to feel apologetic for leaning on others, as if our experience is somehow not worthy of help.

  You put your finger on it, Mamo. It was a gentle suggestion.

  It wasn't intended to be harsh or discouraging.

  (Thanks, Jonesy. I'll try to live up to it.
