I'd go, but if he embarrassed if anyone I know NOW saw me going in. It's been decades, so I am curious.I have no interest in booking up with the cult again and consider the excuse i would give someone were i to show up. I don't want to be pursued.

Have you ever gone back to a meeting out of curiosity?
by stuckinarut2 injust wondering if anyone has gone back to a meeting out of curiosity?
(perhaps to an area far from your old khall where you know no one).
with all the changes from 2012 onwards (videos, tv screens, new meeting format, new songs etc) it would be an odd experience to be in attendance!.

If a woman walks into a room of men and they start making catcalls, lewd gestures and inappropriate touches, did she cause them to be pigs, or were they already pigs and her presence simply illustrated it clearly?
If she calls out their piggery and sexism, did she cause it or direct our attention to a reality?
Obama "caused" racism like the pretty woman causes sexism.
Trump took what existed and fed it and nurtured it and called it good.

No. I thought or hoped he'd shed his persona and act like a president. He has had a couple of highlights but they really served to underscore his unsuitability for this position in 2018, or indeed, this millenia.
Melania has acted like a lady. I still think she made a deal with the devil in marrying him, but it's not like I've made great choices, so. . .she's protecting her son and that's her job right now, imo.
I wish no ill will to the president, I just think he should go back to his local Mmcdonalds near his home base and play his games in trump tower. Not the seat of government.

'The videos are helping the young people.'
by Magnum insome time ago a super-dub stopped by to try to encourage me to return to jw land.
my demeanor during our conversation was extremely serious.
i was polite, but dignified.

I kind of think giving that response and watching their jaw drop and their instant recognition that there is NO WAY would help them to see how dumb of a comment that it was. Of course, that would open up a can of worms and none of us needs any open wormy cans in our life!

Another Aspect from which to View Prostitution
by fulltimestudent inif we put on our western cultural (you know, the ones that say jesus made the world) eye-glasses we will 'see' prostitution as something bad.. the 'christian' influenced view is that prostitution is a criminal racket run by gangsters, and the women (and sometimes men) have either been bullied by their pimps, or drugged until they become addicts and forced to work in brothels.**.
some of that is likely true (at times), but is it always 'truth'?.
australia's government owned abc media network, has an article that invites us to take off our western cultural eye-glasses and see the world as it really is.

How do you deal with "toppers"? [one upmanship]
by compound complex inwhen in conversion, you sometimes get carried away and the talk becomes all about you.. then, you remember you're in a conversation, say you're sorry, and allow the other person to talk.
she goes on about what's happening in her life, you listen and ask some questions.
she tells you more and then shifts the dialogue back to you.

The one-uppers are clearly admiring of us, so I take it as a compliment and just chuckle to myself. If they are doing that, file it away as information that may come in handy later. Maybe while playing a game of strategy.
The ones who annoy me are those who try to invalidate my experience or observation because they disagree with me, experience of understand it differently ( for whatever reason. ) I don't mind a respectful disagreement or an opposing experience/ perspectives, that makes life interesting - but calling me out as a liar or stupid simply because you disagree with my faith or politics or favorite Beatle . . .that's not honest. It's also weak .

Just a few excerpts here from the video and I know more masturbation techniques than I learned in over 40 years of licentious, worldly living! I'm thinking plenty of those young methotrexate being nicely groomed to get off wearing tightly whities. Truly the first time I heard of that being a reason for briefs over boxers. Now I'm going to wonder about those with preferences for briefs over boxers(every male in my life but eldest son)
