.......because i was raised a jw and not allowed to do anything like birthday parties and the like.. i was ridiculed because i was dragged around on the 'ministry'(tm) and my class mates saw and laughed.. i wasn't allowed to go into school morning assembly even though it wasn't religious...just in case.....so i used to get beat up in the cloak room.. i tried to fit in but had too many guilt trips.. i now loathe the god concept and the gb!.
.
I had to stay out of gym class when they were doing yoga and again when they decided we should all learn to slow dance. Everyone thought I was weird.
Punky, did you read my blog this week?
The Odd Life of Jehovah's Witnesses - Standing Out in a Crowd
cagefighter has been a little down in the dumps as usual around the holidays, short days, lack of clear family status and plans for the pagan rituals like everyone else.
i have also been struggling with my belief or lack of in god and god letting idiots with guns run around while he does nothing for children dying of cancer hasn't helped either.
you can say, i have been in a extreme rationalists state of mind.. last week for my small group from church (the umc equivelent of the book study in jw land) we just decided to pop this little movie in the dvd player and light up the fire place.
Oddly enough, the first time I saw it was at a JW family's house in 1986. Thinking back on it, I'm surprised my father didn't faint in an apoplectic fit. He had to rein it in because it was the night before my brother's wedding and we were staying overnight in the house.
i'll refrain from commenting on the shooting.
i spent 2 hours on fb last night doing that.
let's just say i'm a devout 2nd amendment supporter and believe more guns are the answer.. .
Welcome!
i am around 40 years old and i only remember 2 childhood toys.
one was a batman thing that did not fly.
i was traumatised.
Anybody remember two balls on a string called " Click Clacks"
those things hurt like crazy if you missed they were dangerous
Oh yeah! They were banned in my school. The biggest danger was if a ball fell off the string in mid-flight. You could brain somebody with those things!
we bought our 1st real tree............. smells so nice.... and had a xmas party last night............ i am a real pagan now!!
lol...... my head is still swiming lol.
Congratulations!
the recent socal rain storms had me needing to go to a launrdomat to dry some clothes.
so i get inside and see that one of the friendly neighborhood jehovah's witnesses has left a little dish of spiritual food.
being the benevolent soul that i am, i took my handy pen and added some additional spice to the bland spiritual food offered by the watchtower.. .
Well done, Kurt!

I had a Talking Julia doll. "Julia" was a popular program on TV at the time, starring Diahann Carroll. You'd pull the string in her back and she would say a random phrase (there were about 5 things she'd say). And a cassette recorder. My brother and I would use them together to make tapes of "Man On The Street" interviews. We'd ask the doll a question and then pull the string. We had hours of fun with them.

I absolutely love Henri!!!
get on the anti gun bandwagon,.
it is not the middle ages, the rrvolutinary or civil war time- it's now - 2012 and soon to be 2013. america needs to become like canada, now now now.
you can argue all you want, but if you can't open your eyes, you have some deep dark issues that require a shrink.. i will not answer you or taunt you.
Personally, I hate guns, but if someone has a murderous intent they will find a way to carry it out, gun or no gun.
The worst school massacre in U.S. history occurred in 1927 in Bath, Michigan. Some whacko blew up half the school with dynamite and would have taken the whole place down if the second batch of dynamite had detonated. In all, 38 children died, along with 7 adults, and 56 people were injured.
No guns were involved except the rifle that he used to set off the dynamite in his own car which killed him and a couple of other people. Oh, and he had earlier beaten his wife to death and set fire to his farm, killing dozens of innocent animals.
Without a gun.
good morning all,.
i have had the opportunity over the last couple of years to speak with a couple of jw's who had either attended the same congregation i did or were married to someone who to the same one.
for the record, i disassociated myself in 1992 due to being followed around by an elder or two who had heard that i had ray franz's "crisis of conscience" in my possession.
Oh yeah, I forgot the one my brother tells people "He is an atheist because he is angry at god." WTF ...how does that work?
I dont believe in unicorns because they upset me one time....
S&R - LOL!!!
