Well, I tried very hard to wear the sex goddess mask, but it just doesn't fit! *Sigh* so now I'm left only with my mask of niceness....how incredibly boring!

Wearing Masks. What Masks Do You Wear?
by Celtic in.
many people on going about their everyday activities whether it's the shopping in town or meeting up with friends someplace don a mask as a disguise against allowing others to see their true feelings on the inside.. what coping masks do you wear, in which situations and do you know why you do this?.

Hi Craig
I, too, find you a kind, compassionate person (with only a hint of the homicidal maniac, but then we all have our little foibles, don't we??!)
Glad to hear that you are finding healing here in our little community, as well as new friendships.

Yup yup yup...thank you all for your replies (well, mostly )
I don't sit around and morosely contemplate the great unanswerable questions, for the most part. I agree that life is for living and there really is no other purpose than what we as individuals make for ourselves. And I do accept, and am usually content with, the fact that there aren't answers or that, even if there are a few, I may never know them. That's ok. On occasion, tho, I have moments where I lose sight of the greater picture...had one of those last night, obviously. Thanks for the reminders!
(((Craig))), I really like the philosophical response...perhaps it will become my new motto (And WHERE THE HELL is my pic??)
(((((Lauralisa)))) thanks for the hug and support! How the heck are ya anyway?!
Animal, I'm working on being able to tell people to f*** off . I've never been very good at it, but I am overcoming my codependency programming!
(((((((Ken)))))))
(((((outnfree))))))LOLOL...hey! you owe me an email...get typing!
Larc, excellent advice ... the ocean has that effect on me.
Mackin, I expected that answer would show up in here somewhere.
(((Comf))) as always, clear, understandable, and succinct...thank you.
Valis, a tempting offer...but what would your therapist say??!
Heaven, Xena, Big Tex, Heathen, Jesus, Spider, Lew, and RandomT...thanks for the input...I guess one thing I need to keep in mind is that we're all in the same boat...after all, none of us will get out of this alive

Hey Pat
Haven't read the book; however, I saw a film regarding this same subject (even titled the same) in my first year Intro to Psych class. Apparently, it must have been based on the info in the book as it was all about the different levels of hormones released during pregnancy and the link between homosexuality. I found it fascinating as well and it was the first time that I began to seriously think about homosexuality NOT being a choice for an individual.
It was several years ago that I saw the film, so my memory of the details is a bit hazy, but as I recall, it didn't deal with lesbianism but did seem to draw an interesting link between the lack of testosterone released to the fetus (due to trauma to the mother during a specific time in the pregnancy) and later development of homosexuality. And the behavior of the rats was COOL!
I'd be interested in hearing more about the studies done and your thoughts regarding them as you get further along in the book.

Faraon,
Nice to see you around and thanks for the info. I was already aware that the WTS had, yet again, changed their 'teaching' about race. I can very vaguely remember, from when I was very young, that we still had segregated KHs. However, my point was that by the time I was old enough to pay attention to what was being taught, the teaching had shifted to acceptance of other races, which did act as a balancing factor between what I learned at home from my father and what I experienced at the Hall with my mother.

Edited to add:
The feeling was that all that work would only go to waste among Hispanics.
PS to safe 4 kids:
How come it took over 110 years to get someone who was not an anglosaxon white to the governing body?
That type of attitude towards another race is disgusting! And it honestly doesn't surprise me, unfortunately. You won't have me arguing on the positive side of any issue for the JWs; that wasn't my point. It was merely that in my experience, subjective as it is, the ONLY place I received messages against racism was at the hall. Of course, most of us are aware of the WTS's ability to preach one thing, but do another.
