we all know the jw view of abortion before leaving but what about now?
how have your views changed?
i used to secretly cheer when i heard that women had gained more rights concerning abortions.
True story: I knew this black lab that had a litter of puppies(5 I think) and they all seemed lethargic(perhaps retarded). The owner of the dogs called the vet for advice. His advice: put the puppies in the bathroom with the mother overnight. So the owner did this. In the morning, all the puppies were gone. The mother ate them all.
This was nature's solution. Im not condemning or advocating abortion.
i'm sure you all have some good comical stories of pple farting during prayer or other quiet times during meeting.
as a personal experience of mine, the night before i had eaten a frozen pizza, doritos, and some old chocolate milk.
this combination produced the worst smelling brew i have ever had.
Gambler-I too am from rural MN. Maybe we know each other?

This reminds me of this fundy radio talk show host(cant remeber his name but he has red hair and does exorsisms and stuff and gets really crazy on homos) who dedicated his entire show to bashing the Washington Wizards -the NBA basketball team.
It just seems to me that this sort of thing is a control mechanism. Used by manipulative people. If they can get you to change your mind on somthing like this, then they can get at your pocketbook or use you in some manner.

Moxy-where do you find the stat on partakers? I did not see it.
you know the situation...a fighter can be in the ascendency...well ahead...have his opponent on the ropes.
but can he put his opponent away?
does he have the ko punch?
I think that time may be their worst enemy. Eventually they will be forced to go main stream or dry up. They have done a pretty good job at stretching the word "soon" out, in regards to the big A but at some point people are going to have to realize that 1914 is a bunch of bunk. You already see it in the U.S. So in answere to your question; I think it will be more of a slow death than a knock out.
in recent years, i'm hearing more and more stories that suggest.
that the collective state of mental health among jws may be.
declining rapidly.
nytelcom-"if I tell everyone on the web that im really good looking, it will compensate for my lack of intelligence and personality... it will make me feel better about myself"
so, what horrible or just plain silly thing have you guys experienced under the thumb of jw parents?.
i'll relate one-.
there was a time the 7th grade had won a contest for something.
I always enjoyed sitting in the library alone while the ENTIRE school was in the gym for the Christmas presentation(even the librarian was in the gym).
As kids would file past the library door, I could see them looking at me with their "what the hell are you doing" face. It felt good to stand up for Jehovah.
Or getting invited to school dances by girls and always making up lame excuses like, "uh, well, I, uh, can't, you see my uh, grandparents are uh, coming up from out-a-state, and uh, my parents really want me around for this thing , so uh, maybe next time"
My entire childhood was this way. I cant even stand my parents now. They make me sick.
here's the chance to finally find out what we suspected all along:.
are you evil?
