we all have somebody we are crazy about that almost everybody can't stand.. if you mention their name your companions give you that "look" (ya know the one, like you just got caught picking your nose!).
i was thinking about this the other day.
i was truly curious if i'm mental or if everybody has a guilty pleasure list like i do.. i'm just going to assume we all do until you set me straight.. if you attach a photo and short explanation about why you like these pariahs it will be more meaningful.. .
Agonus- For many he was like the Mister Rogers for adults.
What? Not great art? Art is great if it is what you like and you think it is great.
As well as giving people confidence to paint, he helped to broaden the publics awareness and appreciation of the arts in general.
Kind of like Julia Child and gourmet cooking.
service group.
if your group overseer has.
5 although the congregation book study.
Outlaw- Best laugh I had all morning!
i don't know about you, but i love saturday mornings...now that crawling out of bed on a cold november morning to go and knock on doors is no longer on the agenda.
does that sense of being free ever grow old?
i hope not any time soon at least.. this week we've had quite a few atheist vs believer threads along with speculation on what the actual numbers are on jwn :.
Done!
one of my favorites.

what do you do for fun?
i like r/c planes.
i have friends who collect everything from hot wheels to comics to coins.
I like to brew beer! I guess it comes as a by-product of my love of chemistry.
Brewing seems to me like a perfect combination of cooking and chemistry. The recipes and types of beer are endless.
My next brew is going to be a mead, something I have not brewed before.

missing in the recent peter falk tribute:.
One of my all time favorites, the In-Laws.
Couple of favorite lines from: "Serpentine Shelley, Serpentine"!
And a reference to "The Guacamole Act of 1962" Great movie.
my father passed around 9 this morning.
he'd been in poor health for some time, but it still comes as a shock to have him gone.
we are going to miss him terribly.
Sorry for your loss, at any age it is always too soon.
He accomplished much and helped many more in his life.
in the 10/15 watchtower study edition on pg.
12 is the article " what kind of spirit do you show ?
" right away this article starts drawing the line of demarcation in the sand between who has the right to make decisions within jehovah's witnesses and who does not have the right to do so.
Great thread and opening comments flipper - Have not read a thread lately that has pissed me off like this one has in a while.

Again, good points flipper!
hi all, i'm a long time lurker, ready to join in and add my two cents worth now and then!
i was in the religion for 25 years, out now for 8, along with my husband, daughter, and son!
i would have to say pretty much the whole time i was in i didnt want to be, pretty much "dreaded" all aspects of it, meetings, service, assemblies, and talks, i hated talks, man o man would i be grouchy the whole week i had a scheduled talk.. we didnt have much family in, but lots of friends and many jw employees, pretty much lost all that, down to just one jw employee left(thats a good thing).
Welcome Blackbird Singing !
Member since 2006, wow I thought I was shy.
so we all know the jw vocabulary is a weird one.
what words or phrases bugged you the most?.
a few of mine:.
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but is something that I always thought was complete BS.
The one giving the talk or prayer or whatever from the platform addressing the entire audience as "brothers" .
Complete and utter nonsense! To reason or make the excuse that it was done this way 2000 years ago is idiotic.
