Hey Ray. Have you played the "Angels" or the "Divynils" ? How about "Australian crawl"?
I recommend all bands to you as great ozzie bands that never "made" it overseas.
hey.....before i lock this thread, would anyone like to contribute, perhaps utilize their creative energies and help me create a poster/flyer for my upcoming dj gig?.

it seems like there is a little fire starting to burn here on the subject of locking threads.
iv been on this board a long time and on average have only seen about one out of every 200 threads locked.
those who have their threads locked take it very personal, that's understandable.

Yes I do aim to amuse most of the time. Fact of the matter is, whether Dave thinks Im a LIAR or not Id still like to go out drinking with him and cruise some fine 'butt' (to use a Davism). I might even learn a few pointers in impressing chicks from him as hes such an expert that they fall into his lap while all hes thinking about is whether its his turn to buy the next beer or not.

The clue is in the words "keep hearing". You might ask yourself who and how many people you "keep hearing" this from?...
Okay Okay Dave, I keep repeatedly hearing it from two people. Answer your question? Do you think I should change my opinion based on the repeated verbalizings of two people?
I Thought not.
of course there are posters whose every word is carved on stone like the word of God ..Is this what really bothers you RF? Is this a little jealousy coming through?...
Bloody oath. Lol. I wanna be a godlike poster too dammit!
You made one apology that I have ever seen and that was in the thread HS mentioned. That does not constitute the "many times" RF spoke of...
Sorry Dave, I havent made a career of systematically cutting and pasting TJs changing of opinions and admissions of error onto a file in anticipation of having to post to demonstrate them to you. So if you think Im a LIAR youll just have to hold with that opinion.

So interesting to see posters Ive specifically stated that I wont address further on this board, (and asked not to address me by the way) still obsessing over my posts and criticizing me as of the intellectual flea class. Considering such posters think I have the intellect of a flea it causes me to wonder why they feel the compulsion to analyze my writings.
I sure dont analyze theirs.

I keep hearing that TJ never admits he is wrong. Not the way I recall it at all. Ive seen TJ correct his position, based on evidence presented, many times. Ive seen him publicly admit he was in error too. Of course there are posters whose every utterance is carved on a stone tablet like the word of God.
But TJ isnt one of them
within a few weeks i leased a condo on the banks of the willamette river just out side the city of portland.
as she got into her car she looked at me funny again, laughed and just shook her head.. .
i told him that if i said i was sorry, i knew that is what they wanted to hear but it was not the truth.
"Contusing trip" huh? You been drinking again havent you.
one of the big issues affecting ex-jws is being shunned by their close relatives.
this can be especially painful for parents, children or siblings.
the jw relative may even make some exceptions to associate in the name of "necessary" business, but then later on their conscience "pricks" them, and they realize that they have pushed the envelope too much and they withdraw their association altogether ... or ... the society comes out with some article or the co comes to town, and manage to ding on some issue that make jws feel guilty about associating with df'd and da'd relatives.
Syrup.
A loving , compassionate meek and mild mannered elder might indeed read it that the passage refers to the "wrong course" taken by the Disfellowshipped one.
But I am a very rigid and inflexible elder when it comes to matters of Holiness before Jehovah. And so I read it that the "wrong course" is any witness hanging out with a DF person for any reason.
Lol

Well Jim , within the text of the paragraph is contained this understanding:
"A close relative would not be disfellowshipped....unless... there is... an effort made to justify the wrong course".
So clearly the WT /FDS considers ANY form of association a "wrong course"
i knew i had a bright mind, i had been told that my whole life.
she hated going out in service but since i hated it myself we didn't go do the door to door work much.
i look back now and i can't believe how controlling and un-loving that religion had made me.
As a matter of fact Dave, Youre writing this saga has prompted me to post my own on the board.I want hundreds of adoring posts responding to my life story as well. Its a three hundred page treatise which i produced in hard copy before the days when I knew how to save a file onto a computer. Anyway, I think I will abreviate it , cut out the very dirty bits, and post er up. Ive kept it under lock and key for 25 years, continually adding and rewriting it, and I imagined it would get published one day,win the booker prize, then be filmed as the true life horror story it is, and Id win the academy award for best screen play. Ive rehearsed my academy award acceptance speech a hundred times, very emotional it is, I was even gonna mention you among the many other people who have influenced my life. But I think that wont happen now. Doubtless there will be much controversy over what I'll have to say, but its TRUE dammit.
See what you have done now?

Now Dave, dont be all pissy and refuse to finish the story just because one person criticized you. Think of all your adoring fans out there. Its been an interesting story and even I have read it. You wouldnt wanna let me down would you?
