Thanks for posting that website. I took the quiz, and #1 was Baha'i religion. Never heard of them, but apparently I share a lot of their views. Jehovah Witness was close to the bottom of the list, but still I was surprised at (52%).

Alternatives to JWs
by Xander insince there are new people coming to this board on fairly regular basis with questions about the jw religion, i thought i'd pose this topic.. many, upon leaving the organization, don't really know where to turn for guidance.
"look to yourself" doesn't really cut it when you've been told how to think your whole life.. many choose atheism, which is fine.
however, for those still looking for a religion, here is a site that lists many of the worlds major religious movements.

I'm 36.
When Elizabeth Taylor was asked her age, she replied, "A dignified lady would never answer that question."
Age only improves, like the wine.

At Last the JW's come a-knockin'
by spacegirl inhad a really interesting experience with a jw that came knocking on sunday and have to say that i couldn't have dealt with him as well as i did if it had not been for new found knowledge on the web and spending the last four months reading.
oh that's were you are definitely wrong he says i've studied the bible thoroughly and there are definitely no contradictions at all.
i say thank you for your time, very interesting chat but i find it laughable that anyone could say the bible is not full of contradictions.

You know you were a little girl of the 70's/80's
by closer2fine in1. you wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest and down the other.
2. you made baby chocolate cakes in your holly hobbie easy bake oven.
you washed them down with the snoopy snow cone machine.

Thanks for all the cool posts. They really took me back to those good old days. It was tough growing up a witness and I think we enjoyed and appreciated the little things in life. All of those things helped us to become part of the "norm" even though we were taught to be separate from the world. Just wanted to say I enjoyed everyones thoughts.
Thanks,

Gosford Park
by patio34 inthis was a surprisingly good movie.
but i couldn't understand some of the lines because of the british accent.
it was witty, intriguing, mysterious, and excellent ending.. i think i'll rent it on video next year and turn on the closed captioning to get all the nuances.. i would give it 4 outta 4 stars.. pat

Thanks for the review, Patio34. I wasn't sure if I should see that movie or not. I love period setting movies, but I wasn't sure if it was kind of morbid. (There's a death scene, I believe.) Anyway, I guess now I will have to see it.

I tried smoking in high school. Peer pressure inspired me to try it. But didn't like it and I thought there are better ways to spend money.
Health reasons too. My grandfather used to smoke a pipe and I loved the smell. (It was like potpourri!) He used to let us kids blow out his lit matches before he eventually passed away from heart disease.more2C

Shaving....Legs
by mindfield inwell, since we already have the "taboo" thread of shaving/trimming... down there, why not have the shaved legs thread?.
i ask this, because i'm not sure if i should shave mine or not.
i have naturally hairy legs/lower body, and it would take regular shaving to make the itching stop!

Yes, Xena I prefer chest hair, on a guy. Especially, when I can run my fingers through those nice curly locks. MMMM!

Who Have They Sold Redundant KH's Too?
by Celtic inthe witnesses have obviously sold off lots of stock and fixtures over the years, as they replaced older, redundant technologies with new, including within this, buildings, kingdom halls and such like.. 'bernard' brought up the reminder in a reply post below, quoting his old kingdom hall as being sold to the mormon's.
frankly, this raised my eyebrows.. what else have they sold that we know of to people on the 'outside' that they would normally disagree with?
and how have these fresh funds been used, to what ends, if any specifically?.

Metatron & BW, small world indeed. I went to the Highland and Riverside congregations, in Utica.
My dad's KH now has to share the hall with a dance school. They have to rearrange the furniture before and after the meetings.

After trying all kinds of methods of hair removal, I can recommend waxing. It lasts the longest and the hair grows in much finer. One of my ex-boyfriends, used to joke about my legs when I used a razor. "Time to get out the chain saw and chop some trees." This thread reminded me of that.
As for guys, if you have thick hair on your back definitely pay more to have it waxed off. Nothing sexier than a clean back. What do you think, ladies? Yes?
