As I mentioned I am here just trying to stir the pot. Your oh so serious retort did not allow for such stirring to occur.
Alas I shall yet try again.

Hmmmmmm
First you give a quote about homosexuality and then seem to have a fixation of Red's choice of clothing and another fixation of her mounting block.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm.

as we all know the society has very strict guidelines regarding conduct between the sexes.
in the cong i grew up in, it was so small-minded that if you were single, and seen talking to a member of the opposite sex, you were presumed to be in some sort of relationship with him/her.. sex before marriage is out of the question, with heavy petting also looked down upon.
dating is a serious affair, with all onlookers expecting engagement/marriage to be the outcome.
Hey M2U. I have enjoyed your postings at H20..glad to see you've stop butchering Dedalus' name (I'm a mod there and was about to have to warn you about that smirk).
I figured you were primarily interested in the ladies pics but I thought I'd pipe in here too. If you have ever watched the TV show Everyone Loves Raymond, think of Raymond's brother (the cop) and you have an almost exact duplicate of me...though while my voice is deep it isn't quite the same as that actor's.
I look forward to one day having the freedom to post my real name and pic online. Soon... very soon.
Take it easy.

hey friend.. i see you're encouraging letter writing to the society on blood.
can u please give some tips on what to include.
i figure i'd like to include your (lol) research paper as well.
As one who has read some of your previous missives, I would really enjoy seeing your version should you decide to write it.
You have a talent for writing. Have you ever thought of exploring it further?
Hope all is going well. Any updates on those other situations we discussed? Drop me a note or ICQ and let me know how things are going.

Sorry to only come into this discussion at this point.
While working with the Society';s legal Dept I had some dealings with Mr. Bergman.
I personally found him to be an angry little man. In the three cases wherein his involvement was requested by the non-JW or "apostate (sorry. I hate that term too)" the judge refused to allow him to testify refusing to acknowledge that Jerry bergman was an "expert witness".
I too would love to see an un-biased (is there such a thing????) study done on the effects of the JW's doctrines on the average persons psyche, etc. But unfortunately and contrary to the beliefs of the JW's people just don't give that much thought to them to consider it a worthwhile study (reward/profitability)
Kismet
Oh and on a personal note I apologize for my long absence here on the board. I think of many of you often but I have decided to take a step back from being an ex-JW and just allow myself to be me without the baggage. It has felt good to do so. Feel free to ICQ me anytime.

"RING RING..... RING RING... "
umm is that your shoe that's ringing or is it mine?"
the international library of poetry will award 250 prizes totaling $58,000.00 to amateur poets in the coming months.
anyone can enter the competition simply by submitting only one original poem, 20 lines or less, any subject, any style.
all poets who enter will receive a response concerning their artistry within seven weeks.
Do they accept prose as well as rigid poetry?
I did some stuff years ago that I should submit but it isn't "poetry" per se.

The Hockey Song
Hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight
Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice
The goalie jumps and the players bump and the fans all go insane
Someone roars, "Bobby scores!", at the good old hockey game
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
Second period....
Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind
But they grab the puck and go bursting up, and they're down across the line
They storm the crease, like bumblebees! They travel like a burning flame
We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a one-one hockey game
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
Third period....
Last game of the playoffs, Chicago and Montreal...
Fan in audience: Toronto!
Stompin' Tom: No, they were out of the playoffs this year.
Take me where, hockey players, face off down the rink
And the Stanley cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink
Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and one gigantic scream
"The puck is in! The Canadiens win!" the good old hockey game
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

If you don't like, what you got
Why don't you change it?
If your world is all screwed up
Rearrange it
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
If you don't like what you see
Why don't you fight it?
If you know there's something wrong
Why don't you right it?
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
In the end it comes down to your thinking
And there's really nobody to blame
When you feel like your ship is sinking
And you're too tired to play the game
Nobody's going to help you
You've just got to stand up alone
Dig in your heels and see how it feels
To raise a little hell on your own!
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
If you don't like, what you got
Why don't you change it?
If your world is all screwed up
Rearrange it
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell

Pretty stereotypical song from a rock band, but still valid, and subtly different in a good way. (i.e. it's not stupid) The message is clear, and one of those that is easily forgotten, (like Carpe Deum) unless we make a point to remember it.
