  2. friends

  this will be my last post on jwd, and i am sure that is a relief for you all, especially the moderators.

  first of all, i would like to apoligize unreservedly for my shameless flirting and conduct during september and october of this year.

  i have no excuses whatsoever, and for any hurt that i have caused i am truly sorry.

  I understand that there is a lot of anger, frustration, and hurt feeling going on about Caspian. Although there are no excuses for his behavior, my heart goes out to him for being a simple human being much like ourselves. I completely agree with Dave, there are certain reasons behind this kind of behavior. Those of us who are not therapist will never know why some people do the things they do. If it is mental help or counseling that Caspian needs to help during his transition into the "real" world, then I hope he gets it. There are much worser cases than what has happened with Caspian with much more traumatic results . This is just proof to how vulnerable we all really are.

  Caspian,

  If you are reading these posts, I wish you the best of luck in your transition and may you find the answers and the help that you need. I will send my blessings to you and wish you happiness.

  do you enjoy it after so many years of not celebrating?

  does it have any relevance to you now?.

  i live in nz and it doesn't feel like xmas to me cause it's the middle of summer - it just doesn't compute so that helps really all in all.

  I started fading away in 1998, and I still can't get too excited about Christmas. I think it's too commercialized. The lights are pretty, though....but I'm still not pursuaded to hang lights out at my place. Maybe it will take some time for me since I was dragged in the Org. from the time I was seven....30 yrs ago.

  Troll dolls and Smurfs - oh my!

  how many here have in their possession troll dolls or smurf dolls?.

  i am not sure about the rest of the world, but here in the states - these were considered 'demonistic' (oooohhhh!

  ), and were pretty much forbidden in the toyboxes of children.. since i have left, i have acquired a few for myself - one sits on the refrigerator - with a magnet - another on a shelf around here ... somewhere (he seems to walk around on his own *grin*).. sooooo... how about you?.

  I personally never liked the way Trolls or Smufs looked. I've always thought they were kind of ugly, so I never cared to purchase one..."evil" or not. Different strokes for different folks......

  Bisous,

  Dave said : "I was only trying to be nice when everyone from Portland was in bed having sex and ignoring your posts"

  Obviously I'm not!! Welcome to the board! I don't post much but I do know a few from Portland myself. I live in Beaverton, and I live fairly close to Onacruse and Dave (Seven006). I met with the folks last night at Barley Mill Pub for a beer and had a very nice time. Maybe you might want to meet up with us one of these days.

  Pay no mind to "Mr Grumpy" (Dave). I could tell you from experience...you can't take anything Dave says too seriously. He has some serious brain damage and mental problems and we just try to give him some room. Rambling on is very good therapy for him. He uses women to difuse some anxiety left behind form his younger days when he was a very good Jovie. He's actually very kind hearted deep, deep, very deep inside. Plus he's become very angry since I took his popcorn away......

  How Do You View Men , Women and Children??

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  after reading blondie's wt.

  review, we can't help but see how the society and much of society in general views women and men.

  women are supposed to be subservient and in subjection to males.

  Should I have said something?

  by Beans in

  growing up i was discriminated for being german and italian not only that my ears grew before i did and was also called dumbo.

  so combine that with square head, nazi and wop and being made fun of for being a jw getting in fights as a kid was very frequent.. so now you can pretty much call me anything you want and i really just don't care, got used to it and it just rolls off me.

  so last week i am at a small birthday party and this guy was making some coments about germans and calling his boss "a crusty old kraut" among other things.

  My own personal feeling is that any kind of racial slur or sexual preference, no matter where you are from, is uncalled for. I see it as a form of demeaning somebody else and making yourself feel above them. I hear racist comments once in a while, but I don't look for it. If I do hear it I just realize the person I heard it from just doesn't know any better...can't help the way they were raised. It has become their way of thinking...but I still don't think it's right. I wouldn't say anything to them because I don't believe it would make a big difference in changing the way they think. They are just ignorant, IMO.

  My son has "big ears", and he does get teased at school, but he has a great way of just letting it roll off. I worry about those comments hurting his self esteem. I still like to remind him of each of our uniqueness. I tell my children that people are like cookies...we come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. I'm Mexican by decent and my kids are bi-racial......their father is caucasian. It's very important to me to help them appreciate diversity.

  New User Hi Everyone

  kinda new to the forums, stumbled across this discussion board whilst researching the wt involvement with the un as an ngo, laughed my head off when i found out they got booted cuz everyone gave em a bad rap (serv's em right) http://www.aimoo.com/forum/postview.cfm?id=311102&categoryid=3459&threadid=1131916&highlight_key=y&keyword1=ngo.

  anyway, been a "baptized" jw since 13 at the cow palace (now 20).... been a "questioning" jw since a few months after my "baptism".... still hang around the jw's... heck i was brought up as one from a tot and all of my good friends are jw's... even my girlfriend is a jw..... sigh... i've told her my stance... i'm way more liberal when it comes to religion and spirituality than i was taught to be, and bless the creator, she still loves me.

  but anyway i'm at a continuing crossroads, as far as staying or leaving.... i shan't be in this state of mind for much longer but i'm just trying to get good reasons to pack the bags.... if anyone has some "meat" for me to sink my teeth into pass it my way.. haha, wow i'm spilling my guts and no one even knows me yet lol.
