today i was thinking sometimes what people feel that others can't relate to isn't this whole history of having been a jw.. just curious, anyone out there feel that way?

i guess this is here because of the relationship bit, a bit general though i suppose.

What about people who were raised as dubs and thereby denied the opportunity to be "all that they could be," to borrow a phrase from the millitary. I'll be the first to admit that none of these was perfect either, but can you honestly say that the WTS encouraged the cultivation of whatever talents these kids may have been born with; talents which if actualized would have given them a feeling of being at home in the world - precisely the feeling they most commonly live without.

As people who were JW kids - most feel that life is a party they have not been invited to.

what things do you guys hate, why, and what do you do about it?.

ashi.

"you ever get lonely?.".

Nathan Natas

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels,
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles,
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings,
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of the things that I hate.

It's obvious you're never had a canine companion.

Dogs are faithful dependable friends who can keep a secret forever, and they taste GREAT.

er...i got this.. london, nov 15 (reuters) - lloyd's of london, the global insurance market, said on thursday it will not quote for several risks proposed to them by the watchtower bible tract society(wts).. the 300 year old insurance market, facing its biggest ever single loss of 1.3 billion pounds ($1.87 billion) from the november 11th attacks on the world trade centre has apparently adopted a safety first approach.. a lloyds representative said we were prepared to quote for their buildings insurance but there were certain aspects of the deal we could not entertain.

he added they wanted us to insure them against the financial consequences of making false prophecies.

we were advised that this may not be viable in view of the past history.

Nathan Natas

Is this a hoax?

...from the November 11th attacks on the World Trade Centre...

According to my watch it was September 11th.

Usually kidneys are not popular fare in the US - we tend to concentrate on muscle meats and leave the organs alone.

Once, on a dare, I prepared and ate a raw liver and cabbage sandwich.

Personally, I've tried them all, with the exception of brains. In recent years as I came to understand how many toxins and supplementary hormones remain in the liver, I've cut WAY back. With new information about prion diseases, I feel justified (and prescient) about my avoidance of brains.

I Hate Best Buy! (and more!)

here i sit using this infernal aol-tv box yet again.. i broke down and bought a real computer at best buy a month ago.

i don't have it now, though and that is as paul harvey says "the rest of the story".. since a good friend of mine since high school was a technician at best buy, i felt comfortable buying the system.

i should have seen it coming.

When salesguys offer me the "extended warranty plans" I usually respond with -"Why, does it break down a lot?"

I think LOTS of folks will be screaming about WinXP when they discover that it is optimized for hardware they can't buy yet. Once that hurdle is past, look to WinXP to be the portal of WAY MORE computer "viruses" because of it's "ease of use". "Ease of use" is jargon for "poor or non-existent security features."

I think WinXP will precipitate the Great Tribulation before October 2002, as predicted by Nostrildomus.

BEAT that Child!

this is sort of a continuation of threads on dubs and how they are conditioned to discipline their children.

someone questioned whether the society actually encouraged dubs to whup their children.

i only had enough time to dig up a few salient quotes from the wt magazine.

Let us all rise and sing song number 213 - "Whip It" (DEVO)

crack that whip
give the past the slip
step on a crack
break your momma's back
when a problem comes along
you must whip it
before the cream sits out too long
you must whip it
when something's going wrong
you must whip it
now whip it
into shape
shape it up
get straight
go forward
move ahead
try to detect it
it's not too late
to whip it
whip it good
when a good time turns around
you must whip it
you will never live it down
unless you whip it
no one gets their way
until they whip it
i say whip it
whip it good

Excellent, that was excellent! I want to thank Sister Boingo for her work on the keyboard, and Brother Chillin for his magnificent drum solo.

Why don't we conclude now with Brother Michael Jackson's "Beat It"

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear

So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can

So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can

So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fighter
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it
