i was thinking of a relative on my mom's side of the family...... when i was a young girl, about 10 or 11, way to young to perceive 'alternate lifestyles,' we had an experience in family.. my mom's uncle (i'll call him jack, cause i can't remember his real name) came to my grandmother's house while we were visiting.
this time he came dressed as a woman!.
my aunt quickly ushered the children out of the room up the stairs.
ianao,
don't be so hard on yourself, my man. i looked up the word 'pretensive' and it showed it can be used as a variation of the word 'pretense.'
your rationale did make me laugh, though. nice work.

the elusive brother some and the watchtower society.. in brooklyn , they have for years been bothered by a shady and very mystical brother.
they usually call him some.
we receive constant reassurances from the watchtower that what is printed in the literature is the truth.
Hi Norm,
Once again, you have produced a super, informative post. Thank you for taking the time and effort to inform us about how the WT constantly incriminates itself.
I have to agree with you about fred. I hate it when important threads like yours are taken over by him. That is very frustrating.
To me, he is like a human 'red herring' in other words, he waltzes in and detracts peoples' attention from the real issue. It is most inconsiderate.
Please don't let his stupidity stop you from doing such a great service, Norm. I love your work.

a reliable source (other than the national enquirer, that is) has reported that jw venus williams has been spotted in public passionately kissing an older male called "frankie" outside a mall near palm beach gardens, florida, and then getting into a car with him.
the couple met at the art institute of fort lauderdale.... is this chaste behavior as required by the watchtower?.
how long before the 20-year old gets the chop?.
Trevor,
ROFL You sicko. I like it.

wondered if anyone here knows of anyone having conducted a. freedom of information act search on our favorite religion?.
no telling what could be discovered.. we're tempted to try and do some digging ourself and see what turns up.. it's almost a given that the u.s.government keeps and has kept their eye on this very dangerous and destructive kult and doing so from many different angles and perspectives.. here's the site to get started:.

They were thrown into the Pokey. Ha-Ha..
I bet they had the Watchtower logo carved into their Soap-on-a-Rope.
Now that might be worth something, eh?

a critique of suzi mayhem's theory of god .
i thought, when suzi first posted this, that it was a joke something like john cleese's classic "brontosaurus theory" skit in a monty python episode.
but mr. "dark clouds" has sort of asked me to critique it as if it were a serious theory, so here goes.. i'll address this to suzi, but suzi dear, don't take this too seriously.
Hmmmm...
You know what would be fun? If Lord Zoma came out to play.

hi everyone, i don't wanna dwell on bad memories, but i just wanna share one of my worst memories from school.. my brother was in the year above me, we had just finished lunch, everyone knew that we were jw's (not going to assemblies, nativity plays,birthday parties, seen in the field service....) we both walked onto the school field together to the whole school already on the field, stood in a line, clapping and shouting "jehovahs witness!!
" at us, it was absolutely dreadful.. kids can be cruel............ anyone else wanna divulge??.
love .
Wow, Ginny.
Wow.
I felt like I was there. You are a great writer. And you remind me a lot of myself when I was 10 and thought there were absolutely no holes in 'our' (WT's) viewpoints.
When I was that age, I remember a classmate asking the class why anyone would want to be called sheeplike, since sheep had the intellectual capacity of a potato.
Sure, they will drown themselves in a mudpuddle if you don't remove them from it, but they are meek and they follow so willingly...
the latter being my arguments as to why it's a compliment to be called sheeplike of course. LOL.
If I only knew then what I know now... how much heartache I could have avoided. I'm sure we can all relate to that feeling.

(p.s. I'm chock full of bad memories. I'll dredge up a real gem for your reading pleasure when I'm more alert.)

most will know i still attend the meetings, for "family reasons".
i can barely sing the kingdom songs anymore.
i find myself changing the words to more appropriate ones, trying to do it in the ear shot of my wife!.
TR,
Slip me some skin, my brotha. That was tight. Sho' nuff.

i used to like some of the 'kingdom melodies'.
personal favorites were.. 'move ahead, move ahead to maturity...'.
'little gifts from god our children are'-shame they don't get any.. 'life without end at last'-everlasting life with them could wait!!!!.
I used to like some of the 'Kingdom melodies'.
Chris, see Lovesdubs' thread on JW's and alcoholism. I think you are drunk.

(p.s. I feel your pain. I hated it when those damn songs got stuck in my head.)
