i'd like to offer a public apology to nathan natas for making a wrong decision when i deleted him.. i allowed a combination of previous issues we'd had and input from other forum members to bias my decision which lead me to what i now, in hindsight, believe to have been a mistake.. whether you want to come back and post here or not i wanted to at least say sorry and will reactivate your account..
I will simply add my wishes that Nathan will return to posting here.
I would also like to mention that I once appealed to Simon over a banning by a well intentioned mod who misconstrued a post I had made. He "reinstated" me and I appreciated his fairness.

age-old question.
complicated x1,000 if one or both of the persons is married/in a serious relationship.. i am skeptical.
very skeptical.
Could be totally innocuous...
as some of you know, i had no job last year, then finally got something in an industry that i know nothing about.
the environment and people haven't been the best, but i had to stick it out and hope that things would improve.
i have kept my eye and ears open for opportunities more in my field of expertise - which is print advertising.. i sent through my cv for a job i saw advertised in the newspaper for an advertising sales rep - applied and now i have an interview to go too tomorrow.. i've learnt not to get my hopes up - i am glad for the interview and i hope it goes well..
We are pulling for you, sweetheart!
Make sure you don't have spinach in your teeth
i am going to gripe about something that is so annoying and i know people here see it, as we all do.
every single time a terrorist attack or a shooting takes place today.
there is an endless amount of bull crap false stories, pictures, video clips, etc.
When you realize the amount of radio/TV/Internet depends on CONTENT to sell adverts. every day, it is no wonder we can feel overwhelmed if we don't control it. I have kept away from TV, et al the last 24 hours even though I am very interested to know how the hell such an obvious terror attack can be pulled off under the noses of our "high alert" security apparatus.
I check in every few hours to see what's new.
I am also waiting to hear the name of the first person they arrest. Somehow, I don't think it will be a Dick Jones or a Tom Smith.
uncensored discussions and information for anyone interested in the advocates for awareness of watchtower abuses or 'aawa' http://aawa.co/ (previously known as "the association of anti-watchtower activists http://jwactivists.org/) and how it's handled and responded to privacy issues and put people at risk:.
aawa is here!!
(the association of anti-watchtower activists)an invitation to a new effort- aawawhy when i logged onto aawa did it go to facebook ?in regards to aawaaawa - every generation needs a new revolution - thomas jeffersonnotice how the introduction of the aawa has brought out the loonies lately?will aawa become another cult?
I was recently sucked into a LinkedIn vortex that was exploiting names of people I know. It was all a scam to get me into their roster.
I would think the Amalgamated Association of Anti Wathctower Alcoholics Anonymous could do better than this.
Shame on.you guys.
Someone said on another related thread the old adage..."the enemy of my enemy is my friend..." that's just pap.
Does not apply. Remember Danny Hazzard? More harm than good.
on my morning commute today in a residential area, there was an suv driving in the same lane i was in, but about a block ahead of me.
the suv pulls over just past a bus stop where a young lady is already waiting for a bus.
the suv lets off a passenger who starts walking back to the bus stop.. .
You left out a pertinent clue..."she was wearing a pheasant dress"....
My scenario was more dramatic, even without the bird costume.

The driver was waiting to make sure the passenger got on the bus. Then he would pull into traffic and, having noticed that you noticed him, he would follow you until he could pull up alongside and shoot you.
You were very lucky today, my friend.
Stay thirsty.
i have only posted on here several times, but i am constantly reading what others post.
i guess i am more of a reader than author.
that being said i am happy to announce i am no longer one of the jehovah's witnesses.
sex, drugs and rock & roll doesn't seem to even come close to someone expressing honest questions about the cult teachings.
Running scared in 2013... or...
Cornered rats in 2013...
here's the thing,.
the whole aawa idea had noble ideas behind it, but the ship has sailed and the movement needs to go back to the drawing board.
period.
The positive thing that comes from this controversy is the core issue of why anonymity is so critical to the lives of people who want to withdraw from this cult without having their lives turned upside down.
This is a scenario identical to the dilema of the French underground during the German occupation.
