  Kingdom Melodies Cassette No. 999999999........

  sad person that i am, i posted this yesterday, but the post seems to have self destructed....... anyway, if anyone posted to the other thread wants to re-post to this one it would be much appreciated.

  alright, this is one of those what was your favourite questions:.

  when you were a witness (or even if youre still reluctantly attached like me), did you have a favourite kingdom melody (why couldnt they just be called hymns by the way)?.

  one of my fave Kingdoom Helledies is the Hawaiian-flavored one where you have to sing 'spiritual' as a two-syllable word. So classy! You know the one I mean, don't you?
  'Gracious Jehovah
  God we thank You
  for our speer-chul
  Pa-ra-dise,
  In which by study
  and by meetings
  we are aided to be wise.'

  True story: a JW I once knew had a parrot that talked. She told me that her bird was losing its zeal for Jehovah. It used to sing, 'we're Jehovah's Witnesses, we speak out in fearlessness.' She moved its cage into a bedroom and covered it during bookstudy when it changed its song to 'we're Jehovah's Witnesses,we speak out in fear.' So as not to stumble anyone she hid the bird!

  I heard since then that this sister left the JWs. Wonder if she still has the parrot?

  Poor Rick! Reading his desperate verbiage is as interesting as root canal surgery, sans ansethesia. Unforgettable, but excruciating.

  I'm just sooo happy that Simon is not letting this turn into some weird popularity contest. I genuinely admire a person who makes the higher ground a natural viewpoint. I hope I grow up to be more like Simon someday...

  So Simon, do you think the Tower CAN be reformed? Just askin'...

  I understand a snake's place in the food cycle more than some other critters I could think of. Like slugs and jellyfish...

  some guy sent me a photo of an anaconda with a man in its cut-open belly. It seems he was a construction worker on a road crew who decided to take a nap under a tree after lunch one day. OOPS! bad choice...

  Now I have to go giggle at the notion of our pretty pink red-eyed pet snake constricting and devouring an apple... thanks a LOT RWH...and I thought a mouse left a big lump, yeesh...

  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  Your contempt for women is showing, Tom. Or should I say, your contempt for women who aren't submissive victims. You've called us featherheaded broads, man-haters, and disgusting. Your voluminous love for women apparently extends only to hookers and victims. Those women who dare to question your version of the status quo get to wear your nastiest labels. Because we dare to question your basic sexist assumptions, you feel the need to denigrate our motives, implying our morality is somehow inferior to yours.

  Tell yourself whatever it takes to make you feel superior to us, Tom. By all means, be sure to tell everyone as loudly as possible that your manly experience is superior to ours, and your manly opinion is morally superior to ours in every detail. And be sure to loudly proclaim that those of us who were not sucked into that troll's fantasy are all evil disgusting feminist bitches. Extol the virtues of Rahab and Mary, fictional characters in a peternalist fantasy, as if that somehow has anything to do with anything happening here. Sell the hooker-with-heart-of-gold stereotype if it helps you. Just don't expect those of us who managed to live without taking that route to buy your wares.

  Those of us who actually think about these things, know whose attitude is really disgusting.

  so you think your wife isn't capable of making her own spiritual decisions? No matter how you rationalize it, it still shows you have a proprietary attitude towatd your wife. In small words, you think you are her 'owner'. This attitude, while heartily endorsed by the Watchtower and other cults, is no less revolting becasue you can't imagine any other attitude. You stand alone before your Judge, Hilary. So does your wife. Your excusemaking and protesting are no big surprise, tho. Admit yer a sexist pig? Not bloody likely, is it?

  Why are you so defensive? Did you think you were going to make some wholesale conversion of the feelthy apostates and bring them back into your chosen leaky liferaft? Or were you hoping everyone would comgratulate you on your compromise of conscience?

  In all honesty,...Honesty sucks!

  greetings friends,.

  i have just filed my income taxes and it got me thinking about the whole "true christians are to be honest in all things" mindset.

  although i commend the jw religion for advocting honesty in all things for me this was a very challenging and exhausting experience.. for many years i was self-employed and finally gave up the business world because it became very difficult to survive without resorting to some unscrupulous business dealings.

  In or out of any organization, I've always been the same. I'm one of those hopeless boobs who pays every penny of tax (filed & paid self-employment every stinking year no matter how puny the amount) and turns in lost wallets. My boss used to laugh at me because I bought stamps out of the company supply. She just used them for her personal mail, told me I could too(she owned the business), but I never felt easy until I had paid for the stupid stamp. Mom's platitudes/attitudes stuck with me pretty good I guess.

  I've never found honesty to be especially rewarding or anything. It's just the thing I do. I have found it's best not to expect it out of other people, then it's a delightful surprise when they do display it. I have a fond hope that what goes around comes around, and that honesty can be proved to be the best policy, but honestly? It's just another thing I take 'on faith'. Old habits die hard...

  This statement of yours set off jangling alarms in Mommie's cynical old brain:

  " I presume that you are married as a single person would not have the confidence and life experience to attack the motives of a married person who has to think for two people in these situations not just one."

  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  What kind of Victorian authoritarian control freak thinks he HAS TO THINK FOR HIS WIFE???????

  Hilary, you need to take some baby steps toward basic ethical balance before you try to pretend to be conquering any mountains.

  Disgusted and knowing you won't even understand why,

  now as far as slurs go that one is pretty lame, really i have lived here all my life (32 years) and i have never heard any american talk like that.

  Mommy, when the ducks get big, you ROAST and EAT them. Then they are a mouthful, not a handful. For kittens, I don't recommend roasting. However, you can turn a profit on the cats if you sell 'em to a laboratory.
