Funny Watchtower Article on Homosexuality
by garbonzo intranssexualism is a word appearing with growing frequency in the news.
a transsexual is not merely a transvestite (one who dresses in clothes of the opposite sex), nor necessarily a homosexual (though that may be the case).
a transsexual is a person who rejects the sex with which he or she was born and takes up the life of the other sex.

steve2-Funny you should suggest Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I bought a book on this very subject about 2 weeks ago and am currently reading it, when I can get it away from hubby, it is fascinating. I have been trying to apply some of the techniques to myself, and it is quite amazing. Some parts remind me of the old time Native American lessons of embracing the icy cold, cold weather, in order to learn to live in the cold. I remember doing this as a kid in Minnesota, rather than shivering to death, welcome the cold, note how the cold feels, and then, it isn't so cold anymore.
This is a far cry from gender identity problems, to be sure. You state that it gives you a queasy feeling over something like an arm amputation, I guess I have the same feeling regarding genitalia, once it is altered and gone, there is no going back, no changing your mind. The permanance of the procedure is scary.

ATF-You are so right, happiness is attainable from within and the admonishon to read about happiness is right on.
wallsofjericho-Your post is right on, everyone that is a JW is miserable, complaining about everything. The cessation of guilt thing was so true with me. It felt really good to let go of the guilt inducing things this summer. I felt like the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders...but then, it was! I no longer felt responsible for saving 7 billion people by preaching to them about their impending destruction.

Was there recently a thread here where a someone had her attorney send a letter to her congregation preemptively to avoid having her name read from the stage? I believe she was successful in her quest and actually sued someone in the cong. later for slander.

steve2-I'm curious what your feelings are regarding people who feel that their own limbs are strangers or alien to them. Some of these people go to great lengths to have their limbs amputated. This cannot be a healthy mind set. What is the difference between hacking off your legs or your penis or clitoris? People would be horrified to learn someone had a doctor hacked off their working arms or legs, simply because they felt alien to them. An approach healing the mind would be a better option.

How Many Out There Have to Hide or Be Stealthy When They Visit This Site? I know I do.
by PaintedToeNail ini cannot look at this site freely, it would make my hubby and son very upset.
i have to hide what i'm looking at, or try to view this page very late or very early in the morning.
hubby has taken to getting up at 11:30pm or later, to see what i'm doing on the computer.

undercover-Thank you. I have been attempting to do new things. Meeting new people is the most difficult thing, as I am not naturally gregarious, to say the least. I have reconnected with several 'worldly' friends, but nearest one lives 400 miles away.
I've order some self-help books on what career you want to do in life and how to achieve it...I look forward to reading it. I am smack in middle age, and I still don't know what I want to do, lol! I blame alot of that on being a JW, as one was not supposed to have 'worldly' ambitions. I am trying to overcome my upbringing, but it will probably be an ongoing process until the day I die.
Until I'm able to establish better and new friendships, this place means alot to me!

There are other methods of dating objects other that C14. Uranium-Lead Dating is used on lithic (stone) items, as C14 is not effective, this method appears to be pretty definitive on lithic objects. There is also Luminescence Dating used for pottery items.
