have you ever been somewhere in public and without any warning what so ever your underwear decides to place you in a german suplex?
i was a victim this afternoon at lunch, i was in the middle of the cafeteria and i got so tangled up that even certain hairs were intertwined.
i felt like screaming, somehow i managed to ease my way to the washroom and straighten out matters.. i'm throwing out all my briefs when i get home.
leander my friend the answer is boxers. breathing room for all.
and, this may be off topic but so be it, the revelation of all these female board members wearing granny panties to bed has really disrupted my romantic view of them. sigh. good thing I'm already married, huh?

they were the good old days, in the uk about 10 years ago were able to purchase food tokens to get our lovely hot food supplied at conventions i used to really look forward conventions then,then all of a sudden voila no hot food supplied at assemblys no more i was "gutted" i really missed the currys and sunday veg mmmmmmmmm.
but why did they stop doing it, i think this really upset most having to bring your own grub.they do give free water at them now though
wow, this thread brings back memories. once I was talked into volunteering for food service. it was just in the distribution though, not the making. it was so disorganized. some of the young ones slyly tried to show me how it was preferable to sitting and listening. but I think I preferred sitting. at some point during my time with the dubs, I learned to bring my journal and write in it during the talks. my mom thought I was taking notes, but I was writing poetry and shortstories. I think I even learned how to sleep with my eyes open at one assembly.

according to "crisis of conscience", the gb didn't have power/control before 1975. the corporation ( the watchtower bible and tract society inc.) had the power, and they were neglecting the people.
after the 1975 commotion, they tried to act like the gb.
so they took over the control.
you know, it still astounds me that while I was in the borg, I never gave any thought as to who actually really made the decisions at bethel. elders in my cong always made it out to sound like some mythical body, it was always "the brothers at bethel" this and "the governing body " that. it was as if this group of men were superpowered, like they all thought the same and came to the same conclusions and that it was due to jehovah that they are able to make the wise decisions. reading franz's first book finally nudged that inane idea from my head. amazing the things intelligent people can talk themselves into believing.

when you were a jw, remember those little things that made you happy on the inside but "sad" on the outside.
for example, the meeting ending early or better yet, being cancelled.
i recall a few years back the society was pushing sunday field service.
hm. let's see:
I was always surprised when no one came to the door when out in field service. I remember distinctly a few saturday mornings when we never encountered ANYONE. loved those days.
I was always happy on the inside when the mikes would die or that there were technical difficulties during the sunday meetings. it was comic relief to watch all these so called "spiritually mature" brothers mess around and almost electricute themselves. amazing how "spiritually mature" usually equated to "dumb as a rock" in my cong.
I was ecstatic when my family (single mom, myself and two younger sisters) couldn't afford to go to the convention. that was a meeting free week without any guilt! it was glorious. didn't happen often enough in retrospect.

i f you liked the first one then you will like this one.. i found it very funnie.
lots of laughs...then again i think will smith is fabulous (not to mention..what a hottie .
i give it .
I was really looking forward to this movie and felt a bit disappointed. specifically, I didn't like the way will smith's character got all "rookie-ish" after K was back in the office. I also didn't think the script explored k's life and his wife leaving him. that would have opened an entirely new dimension to the film. it did have good effects. I am looking forward to minority report also. hopefully I wll get a chance to see it soon.

has anyone seen the new bank of america commercial for home mortgages?
it has a woman writing a letter to her husband about how she misses him.
at the end of the letter she says: i love you with every fiber of my being.
hm. i thought the commercial was weird too. I do think, though, that its original intent was to set the viewer up for something, in this case a husband gone far away maybe to war in a distant country, and give them something else (he's actually in the house doing loan apps). but it was sort of freaky the way she crawled about on the floor and I can see how it can be seen as demeaning. but, I guess my first reaction was "gee, her husband's an idiot to be taking so long."

ok...not that there is anything wrong with serious threads (i for one enjoy them) but i was looking through the ones today and decided i needed a bit of fluff in my day (been way too serious lately).
so my question is..even though its rerun season...what tv shows do you like to watch?.
myself - i was an avid "x-files" fan but alas they have ended the series .
I really got into alias too. there are still about 5 or 6 episodes I haven't seen. I really expect vaughn to be alive. I am also really into the shield, dead zone, the wire, the practice, farscape, stargate sg-1, west wing and law and order. due to my wife's influence, I have also been into real world, road rules and spongebob squarepants. heh. and we have no kids.
is anyone else in here waiting impatiently for the sopranos and sex in the city to start up again?

i found this material on a pro-jw newsletter, and i've had this personal experience myself and know many others who have also.
before i became a jw i experienced a tremendous amount of "love" from the congregation i associated with, but once baptized they leave and move on to the next potential convert.
as a single person, i was never invited out to gatherings very much and always felt a little left out in the very clique-ish congregation that i attended.
lack of love is the main reason I stopped going to the hall. I was never baptised, I was an approved associate. my mother was baptised when I was in the 8th grade. I won't go into my history with borg here because it is a big digression. but, when I was 20 my mom slipped and twisted her ankle really badly on the ice in the winter time. I had already moved out and i was still attending the hall. I was going to visit her. she was laid up for weeks. whenever I went to the hall, everyone was asking how my mom was. there was a MS from our cong living right ACROSS THE STREET from my mom and about three other dub families within a block radius. NOT ONE of them bother to check in on my mom. not a phone call or anything. that was the final straw for me. I stopped cold. and after associating for something like 7 years, 8 years, helping out by manning the mikes at meetings and being the book study reader for the book study that was two houses down from where I had moved out on my own at, after all of that, I think that a group of elders may have come by once. twice at best. made me sick that I had dealt with them as long as I did.

i just found this website on june 23- and haven't done anything else since!
i am spending 25 (lol) hours a day on this site!
i can't leave.
this is a great site. I've been a lurking off and on for a couple years. this past year I have been visiting and reading a lot more of this site. I've been "out" since 92, but I still find that the root cause of a lot of my behavior is tied up in the influence the WTS had over me when I was younger. my wife doesn't understand completely because she was never in. I try to explain but unless you have lived in the borg, you can never really understand what it is like and how insidious its influence is. I say insidious because you never really see how bad it is until you leave it alone and "get some serious perspective" on it. still, she listens to me ramble on about the WTS when I think that maybe I can relate an incident or practice that would make sense to her, something that would help her see why I have such anger toward the WTS. on this board, its a great feeling not to have to explain because nearly everyone understands on some level.
