i guess my new-found freedom of personal expression is working its way down to my kids.. i came home from a crazy day at work, ate my dinner, was loading the dishwasher, when my 13-year-old son says, .
"mom, i have something to tell you - i'm bisexual...i've been that way for a year now.
i still can't help but have my old jw brain at work, thinking this is not okay - kind of like, i'm an apostate with a bisexual son...what will my family say?!
Misguided,
Most of the guys I know who are gay or bi knew they were from a pretty young age...but still, to be fair, I think your best best is to wait and see, and talk it out with your son. He's 13 and still within a stage where he's developing sexually. Give it time before he becomes more mature. Who knows maybe he'll be as butch as Burt Reynolds.

they might be able to kick me in the nuts, but they can't knock me out.
btw, 'catchthis' is a poser.

so me, matt and alllll of our friends were at the blue monkey (a bar in memphis), and we were just sitting around, munching on pizza and throwing back beers.
all in all, it was great.
i basically just wanted to get the point through that i was perfectly happy and that i didn't need the dubs to have fun and have friends.
Tee-hee....she said "Butt"

had a bizzare experience last night.
i went to see the movie mr. and mrs. smith (which, by the way, was pretty decent).
my girlfriend and i showed up about 20 minutes before the show started, so we picked out some seats and then each went to the restroom in turn while the other watched the seats.
SNG,
Their hardline reaction was merely a result of feeling ashamed at all of those erotic Angelina thoughts..

it?s a strange thing being brought up in a christian house with the matriarch being a religious zealot and then years later ending up living in a pagan house with an equally committed, and i use the word committed advisedly, religious woman running the household.. .
it all started so innocently as well.
it was after our relationship had started i was aware that she was a little different, not quite of the so called ?norm?
This is Preston's other half. I thought this was very funny. The house hold is a mixture. Interesting enough we still have xmass in the house and all of the other holidays though I celebrate the other high holidays that are not on the calender except Halloween.
I got a good laugh out it.
Blessed Be,
Witchy Poo (as one of the renters calls me)

Actually, I think my sentiments mirror that of the staunchiest PF fans by saying...I'm kinda confused with the reunion. It doesn't make sense for someone like Roger Waters to put artistic differences aside and rejoin the band that has released subpar material ever since he left. He had every right to leave and attempt to put the bands musical history to a close. How could the band top The Wall? The Final Cut, The Division Bell and Monetary Lapse of Reason weren't worth another 25 years of a Pink Floyd in name only.

i was in the thinking room yesterday morning doing my usual routine, and between grunting and showering my mind was wondering when i came upon what i thought to be a great idea.
this weekend is the weekend for the district convention where all the good little jw's will be attending.
so i thought, if the jw's are at the convention, who's going to be at the kh?
Wonder Woman !!!!!!

finally, i will look at biblical and patristic evidence bearing on the crucifixion of jesus in particular.
we need to examine the earliest known descriptions of the kind of crucifixion adopted by the romans and the specific terms they used to refer to it.
apparently the society believes that crux still meant "stake" in the second century a.d., when tacitus composed his annals.

hi all, i've been gone for a little while, but i'm back and i wanted to get some opinions.
back in april i told you guys that i sent out my da letter to the congregation, our family, and some of our witness friends.
well, we got a letter in response from two elders by certified mail.
I was impressed by their letter...
Now...Now...before you start farting in my general direction I think this letter is, in its simplicity, an excellent nutshell of how they view themselves. It accurately represents their perceived sovereignty over all other religions in the great scheme of things.
1.) They think they're the one true religion...but misunderstood
2.) They think they are committing the grandest act of love by revealing "Bible truths" to the unbelieving masses, an act, in their mind, that is far greater than any other large scale act of goodness.
By debating with them, you're really challenging their soverignty and you'll eventually have to admit what you honestly feel, i.e., that they really don't have "the truth". Do you want to go through this? If you do, tell them to meet you on your own terms. It will be the mother of all pissing contests, I can assure you.
