  She really did herself a favor by turning a simple tap into a hit-and-run. She must be a criminal GENIUS!

  I hope you recover rapidly and completely.

  What is your opinion of the news media?

  by minimus in

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  My opinion of the news media? That for the most part they are a group of "purty gurls," "pretty boyz" and transitive polysexuals who found being a Communications Major to be their personal Mt. Katahdin (an "easy climb" for anyone with a brain). They have a grasp of no subject that does not pertain to makeup or hairspray and are prone to on-air-hysteria and pouting. They think Communism still "deserves a chance to work" and that people who believe in personal liberty have just not gotten the memo. They are fools and posturing peacocks (no offense to peacocks, who are born that way).

  I think that, as with other large members of the weasel family, they should not be fed or invited into your home.

  Cooked food and the evolution of man.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching a documentary on the development of man and they were indicating that the eating of high protein diet was helping man to grow a bigger brain and then went on to say that cooking the food was the breakthrough on how our brain became bigger then other animals that ate a lot of protein.

  does this make any sense to you and what science if any shows cooked protein is better in any way over raw?

  your thoughts..

  Cooking helps break down the cells in the plants and meats that we eat so that more of the food that is eaten can actually be used by the body, and it also kills pathogens that could dramatically shorten human lives. Cooking also is often a SOCIAL OCCASION, as many XJWs have discovered at meet ups. At some of te first XJW meetups, historians have discovered, individuals often ate M&Ms from their own pockets.

  So we went from being lonely individuals eating a handful of berries that a raccoon had pissed on the day before to being the life of the party saying, "Let's try some mint with that stewed raccoon..."

  Almost every culture, even GAMERS, has a traditional SURVIVAL FOOD that reminds us of the sufferring and deprivations of those who came before us. Vikings had hakarl and gamers have pretzels with no dip on them.

  Last Week I Got A Call From An Elder I Haven't Seen In 20 Years...😳

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  while i was at work i got a phone call from an elder i haven't seen in decades!

  he started asking me questions about my family, my ex, and told me that he heard i "was no longer in the truth".

  i got a little defensive and he quickly picked up on it and assured me his call had nothing to do with checking up on me regarding the religion.

  I'm inclined to agree with Magnum.

  Min, you're a good guy, and the man may be reaching out for some kind of comfort, and if he behaves himself and doesn't blame YOU for the failure of HIS religion, I know you can help him.

  Is Minimus your real name? Why SURE it is -- as far as we know!

  2. relationships

  i am a non-jw girl dating a jw man for almost 5 years now since end of high school.

  most of the relationship has been long distance.

  when we started dating, we wanted a serious long term relationship that would end in marriage one day.

  For five years you have INVESTED in a relationship that you hoped would lead to marriage. Has this relationship paid any dividends? NO, it has not.

  You think you know how your boyfriend thinks, but the only thing you know is what you WISH he felt for you.

  I'll bet money right now that your boyfriend is PLAYING you. Chances are EXCELLENT that Mr. Long-Distance has one or more close to home relationships; in fact, it is possible that he is married to someone else.

  To him, you are a "worldly girl" -- a harlot or a slut who is not suitable as a marriage mate but sure makes for a nice toy from time to time.

  Here's what you need to do to set Mr. Long-Distance on the "straight-and-narrow."

  I HOPE you know where he lives. I hope you know what Kingdom Hall (that is what JWs call their churches) he goes to. If you don't know, you need to find out. Then go on line and find out when the SUNDAY public meeting is held at his Kingdom Hall.

  DO NOT tell him you are collecting this information. You are going to surprise him. REALLY surprise him.

  You are going to go to his Kingdom Hall and show up fashionably late for the meeting.

  Then you are going to walk into the Kingdom Hall and tell the attendant who greets you, "I'm Mr. Long-Distance's GIRLFRIEND! I wanted to surprise him by joining with him at his house of worship -- we've known each other for FIVE YEARS -- ever since High School. I want to learn more about Jehovah and his righteous organization!"

  He hasn't sent you gifts or flowers or Valentine's Day stuff for two reasons: 1) JWs believe that stuff is pagan and 2) you mean nothing to him.

  Tell me I'm mean, tell me I'm insensitive; I've heard it before. I am also something else: I AM CORRECT.

  You deserve a guy who respects you and is honest with you, and he IS NOT IT.

  Tell us how things go, OK?

  I have vague recollections of that "Magnum POS" that was such a BIG "flash in the pan" back then.

  Probably all of the talent were JW kids. I wonder how many of them are still dragging their tired asses from house to house, from door to door?

  It was just agussied-up part of the BIG LIE.

  "Peace of mind and self-respect" MY ASS!

  Liberator, hopefully you've been able to catch the "Scientology & the Aftermath" series that Leah Remini and Mike Rinder presented on the A&E network. Fortunately, you can view episodes on

  http://www.aetv.com/shows/leah-remini-scientology-and-the-aftermath

  I have some additional suggestions; the OLD 1981 movie "Ticket to Heaven" is about a guy who got into the Moonies (the Unification Church of Korean cult leader Reverend Sun Myung Moon). A review is here: http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9B0CE1DA113BF930A25752C1A967948260 you can get a copy from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Ticket-Heaven-Nick-Mancuso/dp/B000MTEFTQ.

  "Ticket to Heaven" came along at a good time for me. Interestingly, the cult deprogrammer Steven Hassan was once a moonie. He isn't any more, of course.

  The Mormons are another group worthy of criticism and analysis. One great DVD is "The Lost Book of Abraham", which you can find here: http://www.mrm.org/product/the-lost-book-of-abraham.

  Actually, almost anything that promotes critical thinking skills will be helpful, but a multi-angled approach is best, because the kids will learn that the world is full of opportunistic liars who promise everything in exchange for your mind.

  Admittedly, some of these films were made by Christian Evangelicals with a goal of gaining more converts. I am not a Christian Evangelical. I describe myself as a "non-practicing atheist." I'm selling nothing. Literally.

  Here's a lisy of documentaries about cults from the Internet Movie Database(IMdB):
