Comf,
If you give us another picture like that, I have one question: how can I get TWO images on my desktop wallpaper!
(I think I'll read The Ancient Mariner myself tonight.)
philo
i'm not being a pervert, really.
i was just wondering whether there was a psychological explanation for why people (women, i think) experience sex, when there's nobody physically there.. there's a lot made of this in dubdom, so i'm thnking there couldbe a connection with the dub 'culture'.. just curious.. philo (honestly, but still a male)

warning: this is a very shallow post.
now that i'm out, i'm trying to see the humor of my past life as a jw.
when i was new in the truth , only baptized 4 months, i became good friends with this one sister.
I prefer small breasts. But HEY, who's being fussy?
I might even get mine done oneday.

(sung to the tune of "woodstock").
i came upon a slave of man.
he was walking along the road.
Great song, Comf
Especially:
And on the 'net were friends and vikings
And celebration

Comf,
As it happens I can do better than that; here is the whole poem. Hope you enjoy it. Do you think Coleridge would mind me infringing his copyright like this? []
---------------
Kubla Khan or A Vision in a Dream
Coleridge, Samuel Taylor (1772-1834) - English poet, essayist, and critic. Known as a brilliant conversationalist and the most perceptive critic of his day, Coleridge left only a small body of work to preserve his genius.
Kubla Khan or A Vision in a Dream (1797) - Kubla Khan was the founder of the Mongol dynasty in China. This unfinished poem describes Xanadu -- Kubla Khan's pleasure-dome.
KUBLA_KHAN

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And here were gardens bright with sinuous rills
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
-
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced;
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean:
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
-
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves:
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 't would win me
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

Somebody,
Good to hear from you! I know I should have put this in the Sex forum, but I'm glad to see you're keeping at least half an eye on the Main forum too. Minx.
Comf,
That picture speaks a million binary words; all those naughty naughts and ones. LOL
A savage place! As holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a wailing moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing (Coleridge)
Next fancy dress, I'm going with wings and horns. That's for sure!
Peaceloveharmony,
You do realise your profile picture makes you look like you enjoyed this thread more than is strictly proper.

Just curious.

i don't know if this has ever been brought out - i just thought of it:.
the bible tells us that it rained for forty days and forty nights.. it stopped raining and noah & co floated around for a bit.. when they landed, noah sacrificed some of the animals (weren't they in short supply?
) and god promised never to bring a deluge upon then earth again.. to back this up, there was a rainbow in the sky as a sign.. now, what causes a rainbow?
I think the deeper message being given in that scripture was don't believe yachting tales.

This is disgraceful. I TOLD them my Branch Davidian association was just a flash in the pan!

i'm trying to get a picture of how d-d records are used.
particularly, with regard to household security, are 'persistent nhs' kept in the maps in your area?.
i used to file the cong maps, and we kept old d-d records back to target these persistents at unusual times.
Thanks SixofNine,
:My general impression of the congregations as a whole, however, is that we were pretty lax about record keeping.
That's my recollection as well.
What I need most of all, is to know what the official procedure is.
-----------------------------
Thanks Esther, That's pretty helpful as I hadn't been thinking that way.
To Everyone
Does the "Organised to Accomplish our Ministry" (OM) book define the NH record procedure? Are NHs supposed to be kept in the maps, and thinned down by subsequent day's callings. I have no CD-ROM so I can't check for myself.
If this procedure IS in print somewhere (as it ought to be), I need to get a look at it. My reason is to expose a potential or real security issue attached to the JW door-door work.
