I hope this won't sound piquey, but I guess from the quiet response to this question, that there are only two ways to get disassociated: on blood, or voluntarily.

Androgenous names
by philo ini'm only stirring here, and i hardly ever do that - go easy on me.. what do you fellas think about being carried down a ladder from a burning building by a woman called dave (shortened from davina)?
or you girls going on a blind date and finding that 'brian' is a girl who shortened her name from brianni for personal reasons?.
do you like the way most names convey the gender, or is it superfluous?.

Thanks Englishman, I spotted your bro, posting with what I think must be your family's entertaining way. But I quickly homed in on a discussion of something boring...Yes! There really are others who have read 'Naked Ape' by Desmond Morriss out there, and are willing to discuss it! LOL
What judicial action do you think they will take, when they find out I'm not an electric aero-modeller. It starting to worry me already. Perhaps I can palm their elders off with my prototype water rocket with pneumatic-actuated parachute deployment system (in development).

Observation by an outsider
by MikeNightHaShev ini notice that because the jw's point out flaws with the churches doctrines and beliefs that instead of fixing or repenting or solving the issues it's easier for church people to form a backlash whether it's honest or falacious in order to displace blame and smokescreen their own inadequacies.. you can not heal yourself by pointing out anothers wounds, you also can not solve your problems by displacing them instead of admiting and addressing them.. if a jw or anyone else points out the problem of abuse in the church then by pointing out an abuse in the jw elders does not solve the issues of the church abuses neither is it repentance as repentance should be.. if you can't discuss the bible and resons why you fall short and trasngress then by bringing up personal issues or attacking each other like jackals does not change those transgressions it just adds more.. as an outsider i must say all of you are like animals on their prey simply because you didn't like being exposed for your false testiments and false practices.
this means your emotional and psychological and spiritual level is far from being grown up.. will you dare persecute me for pointing out such observations?
a spiritually grown person will reflect on what i say, admit to it and try to change, but a child of darkness will feel their ego hurt and group rpide kicks in causing a person not grown to become defensive bitter and mean/perhaps even spiteful.

Why Its Good To Be A Man!
by ExmormonRobertson inyour last name stays put.. the garage is all yours.. wedding plans take care of themselves.. chocolate is just another snack.. you can be president.. you can wear a white t-shirt to a water park.. car mechanics tell you the truth.. you don't give a rat's ass if someone notices your new haircut.. the world is your urinal.. you never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just.
too "yucky".. same work... more pay.. wrinkles add character.. wedding dress $5000; tux rental $100.. people never stare at your chest when you're talking to them.. the occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.. new shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.. your pals can be trusted never to trap you with: "so, notice anything.
one mood, all the time.. phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat.. you know stuff about tanks.. a five-day vacation requires only one suitcase.. you can open all your own jars.. dry cleaners and hair stylists don't rob you blind.. you can leave the motel bed unmade.. you can kill your own food.. you get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.. if someone forgets to invite you to something, he or she can still be.

Here's a remedy tame and mild

Are you still a pacifist?
by wasasister inlast night, i found myself wondering aloud about something i never thought i would consider: purchasing a gun.
previously, i had very strong anti-gun sentiments.
i felt, and still do to some extent, that freely available guns in this country are an immediate threat to children and add to the violent perception others have of americans.

Englishman, somebody once told me that there is a shotgun of 2-bore calibre for shooting flocks of birds. Were just they pulling my leg? Surely you'd need two men, or a tripod stand with a recoil mechanism, to handle it! 12-bore seems to be the standard size, but I've seen 16 and 20-bore rat guns.
I had a .22 air rifle on our farm, but I killed more with my bow and arrow, in other words, I hardly killed anything!

:The world is your urinal.
"...Of course for men it's much more grand
Women sit or squat
We stand
And hold the fellow in our hand
And proudly watch the mighty arc
Adjust the range and make our mark
On stones or posts for rival men
To smell and not come back again..." Garrison Keillorphilo
