Just say anything...
by TimeBandit ini agree with a fellow who said "bigfoot is blurry.
that's why in all the pictures you see of him you can't make him out.
there's nothing scarier than the thought of a huge, out of focus monster running around in the woods!

There's nothing scarier than the thought of a huge, out of focus monster running around in the woods! Anyway, I think if they do exist, they are a lot smarter than they get credit for. They seem to have a social structure that's similar to other apes. Day and night, they may have 'sentinels' that roam the perimeters of their family to warn of danger. They communicate vocally, and can signal their presence from miles away with hoops, hollers, screams and yells. They knock big sticks on trees to tell their buddies where they are, or to warn them. It's likely they are omnivores. Eating meat whenever they get ahold of a deer or elk. Eating fruit, nuts, vegetation and grubworms may keep him going when they can't get any deer. In their younger days when they were little they could swing in the trees and have so much fun! But sadly, as the little Sasquatches grew up and got so freakin' big and tall, they could no longer do that anymore and will often reminisce about when they were little swingers.

Songs that are atmospheric
by FlyingHighNow inthis is a song thread that will take a little thought.
i'd like for you to share songs that sound atmospheric and conjure up feelings of night air or a smokey room, the energy of the ocean's roar or capture the joy of a party or celebration.
the songs can be transportive and take you other places by their sound and the visuals they evoke from the stories they tell.. my first one is from tim mcgraw.

Rein carnation
"What does Reincarnation mean?"
A cowpoke asked his friend.
His pal replied, "It happens when
Yer life has reached its end.
They comb yer hair, and warsh yer neck,
And clean yer fingernails,
And lay you in a padded box
Away from life's travails."
"The box and you goes in a hole,
That's been dug into the ground.
Reincarnation starts in when
Yore planted 'neath a mound.
Them clods melt down, just like yer box,
And you who is inside.
And then yore just beginnin' on
Yer transformation ride."
"In a while, the grass'll grow
Upon yer rendered mound.
Till some day on yer moldered grave
A lonely flower is found.
And say a hoss should wander by
And graze upon this flower
That once wuz you, but now's become
Yer vegetative bower."
"The posy that the hoss done ate
Up, with his other feed,
Makes bone, and fat, and muscle
Essential to the steed,
But some is left that he can't use
And so it passes through,
And finally lays upon the ground
This thing, that once wuz you."
"Then say, by chance, I wanders by
And sees this upon the ground,
And I ponders, and I wonders at,
This object that I found.
I thinks of reincarnation,
Of life and death, and such,
And come away concludin': 'Slim,
You ain't changed, all that much.'"Wallace McRae

I never carried a gun out in service, but I did get stoned a lot while serving in the feild. Nowadays I answer my door with a gun behind my back because you never know who's out there any more. I think it would be unfortunate if a jw got scared of me at the door and pulled a gun. That would give me the right to shoot him...

by flipper inin this book on mind control cults and recovering from abusive relationships that my wife and i are reading titled , " take back your life " by janja lalich & madeleine tobias - it discusses in detail how damage we've received from cults or abusive relationships stays with us after we exit .

I have always had issues with self esteem. It's never been easy for me to stand up for myself. In fact, I used to frequently have these dreams where I was in a position of having to protect myself against a bully, and when I try to hit him, my blows are weak and not effective at all. Generally, I would wake up from these dreams and feel really bad about myself.
Recently though, after I turned in my letter of disassociation last summer the dream changed. In the new dream I was in a school yard. I had the distinct feeling of trouble brewing. The school yard bully made his way over to me, and poked me in the chest making some kind of demands. I grabbed his finger, and broke it. It sounded like the snapping of a candle stick. Then I grabbed a fist full of his shirt, and picked him off of the ground and pinned him to the wall, his feet are dangling...I told him that if he ever touched me again, that I'd beat him to a bloody pulp. Then, I threw him across the school yard. We could all hear him make a sick thud when he landed. After having this new version of the dream , the old version has never come back.Chris-

Something that used to really irk me when I was a JW was being told by the BoRg that following popular fads was tantamount to being part of the 'world'. Young brothers were discouraged at every turn from getting popular haircuts and such. It always seemed hypocritical that the ' old farts ' in the congregation did the very same thing they discouraged us from doing regarding popular hair styles. It is a FAD for old farts in the congregation (often elders) who are going bald to style their hair in a comb over. Old farts all around the planet follow this tremendously popular style, including JWs....It's about time someone spoke out against the hypocrites! Who the hell do they think they're fooling any damn way? So here's a WT cover I designed to address this timely issue.

Obviously you have not done much (if any) research concerning the JW organization, if you had you wouldn't be asking that question. Here's a link to a website full of facts about JWs that will get you started finding out what's what with the JWs. No, it's NOT the Truth®!

It would be helpful if you post this information on your FaceBook walls to help spread the word. Imagine if those things were happening to OUR kids...
