  the regulars here may remember that my daughter starting posting here last week, under the name princess.

  in chat, people have asked if she is pretty, and i say she is.

  she also looks just like me, but thinner, and prettier.

  Thank you, sir!! We think she is pretty great too. And thanks for the compliment. We look more alike, when I am about 50 pounds thinner. And my hair is naturally brown too, but blonde is more fun, and makes my Mom happy. Something I do should make her happy!

  I guess I'm safe. I live in Washington. I might call on my cell phone, and ask if they are recording me. My home phone can be ID'd.

  Isn't there some kind of a loophole if someone is calling a family member, though? And at Bethel, they call themselves a family, so maybe they justify it that way. Just a thought.

  Jungle Fever in the BORG

  by Black Man in

  post title - jungle fever in the borg or inter-racial relationship dynamics in the borg.. back in the the day inter-racial relationships were frowned on, especially if you wanted to advance spiritually (climb the corporate ladder).

  i remember at bethel a few of the brothers in service department used to always tell brothers that it would be beneficial to marry in their own race if they wanted to be used in the circuit work.

  the premise was that the society is not biased but rather the world is and to avoid conflict, they only prefer to use couples of the same race.

  Does this only apply to blacks and whites interracial marriages? We had a CO, in 1974, who was Chinese, married to a white gal. They had been in the work awhile when we had them too. Maybe that mix didn't matter the GB.

  Hi Ven,
  Yes she is going to put it up on her profile. I sent her the URL in an email. I got some new photos today, that I took on Monday, and that one was so good. We were at Old Navy. She was buying matching Old Navy t-shirts, for the whole family, for a 4th of July barbecue. They have the American flag on them.

  It was great talking to your folks today. I miss you all so much. We just blabbered on and on for about 40 minutes. Don't you love speaker phones.

  Hi Billy,
  I think if you research it, you will find that most disfellowshipped people do NOT come back. If they did, the organization would be about twice the size it is now. You might share that with your parents. In the old days, they used to report the number disfellowshipped in the yearly report in the yearbooks and January WT. Ultimately they had to stop doing that, as it exceeded the number baptized by quite a lot!!

  Welcome to the board. There are lots of great stories.

  She is 31, married, two kids. She and her husband left the organization before we did, shortly after their first child was born in 1996. We all came to the same 'awareness' about the same time, but they quit before we did. We stuck around another year, trying to slowly fade away.........and we did.

  We are both very open about being ex's so don't be afraid to ask us anything. None of us are df'd or da'd. In fact the elders in our area, go the other direction when they see us. So weird. Even at my mother's home, when one is visiting her, they can't get out of there fast enough. It's like we're contagious or something. One elder is really great, and his wife has been my best friend for 30 years, and still is. Her husband STRONGLY feels we had a right to leave, and to stop believing it is 'the truth'.

  Alan: Add 1 Tablespoon of Thai red chili paste, and you have an incredible Thai soup. A little lime juice too. I was sure I was reading my Thai recipe, when I saw Suzi's recipe, to you. (I think it also has a little lemon grass and cilantro) The more I think about it, the less it's the same, but the basics are there.

  My friend who is still a dub, called me this morning from out of state. She and her husband went to the DC in Amarillo this year, with relatives. She said it was all the same old same old, but with more attention on apostates. She said she took lots of notes for me. The one thing that stood out for her was that they kept emphasizing that the end is so close!! Then they announced the new TM book, which will be released in 2002 to be used in 2003. So, what about the end coming? She was confused and so was her elder hubby. She said he was on the internet this morning, buying more for his investments, shoring up the retirement fund. She even thought that was funny. 42 baptized, a new record low I'll bet.

  She said it was an unbelievable bore. No, I believe it.
