  John Handcock was President at the signing of the Declaration of Independance. he continued on until the end of the Revolutionary war, 1776-1780. Then the nation was under the Articles of Confederation. George Washington did not become President until 1789 after the ratification of the new Constitution. So, John Handcock is the real First President, but Washington is considered the First President because he was elected under the Constitution.

  I'm not going to assign motives here but I'm sure you meant John HANcock, not HANDcock, which is another way of saying five-finger Suzie.....lol use lots of Vaseline

  The citizenship class,

  i'm reading 1984 by george orwell and ran across this paragraph on page 189. to me it sounds very familiar as a watchtower quote from the 1970s.

  does anyone know where this is?the world of today is a bare, hungry, dilapidated place compared with the world that existed before 1914, and still more so if compared with the imaginary future to which the people of that period looked forward.

  in the early twentieth century, the vision of a future society unbelievably rich, leisured, orderly and efficient--a glittering antiseptic world of glass and steel and snow-white concrete--was part of the consciousness of nearly every literate person.

  Personally, I think that much of the futuristic fiction of that era tends to be more fact, less fiction.

  bboyneko: yes, the filenames and the labels can be misleading. The point is, anybody with a healthy attitude toward sex will develop their own self-censorship as to what's appropriate and what's disgusting/illegal.

  One doesn't have to resort to Watchtower-esque censorship and control tactics when discussing sexual aspects with their kids. If the kids are old enough to understand these things, they have to be encouraged to self-discipline, rather than learning how to circumvent parental rules.

  What's repressed unnaturally now will spring back ten-fold later in terms of negative consequences.

  How Far Will They Go?

  as more and more ex-witnesses speak out online, as we have here, it's obvious that the society has to see it as a threat.. since they probably won't come out and ban internet access for their members, how are they going to deal with us?

  many of us make no secret of our names and locations, and for the rest it would not be hard for someone with the org's resources to find that information.

  as things like the child abuse issue, the u.n. membership, and the blood issue become more publicized their damage-control efforts will have to increase.

  "strongly discouraged" translates out to a social scorched-earth policy directed toward the "offender" for a perceived "spiritual babe" discouraged activity.

  just thought it would be fun to see all the ways people have been caught in the middle of something, i recently was so embarrassed as i travelled to canada to visit my boyfriend, after we went to the movies we got rather heated in the car shall we say, mind you the car was packed away from all other cars, needless to say as soon as we got our pants down and started to get into motion ;-) a light shone through the window of the car, and guess what, a nice security guard was standing there, i was so embarrassed, he told us we shouldnt be doing that here, what made it even more embarrassing was the fact that we were both over 30 years old and i never ever got caught in the act when i was a teenager, oh wait thats coz i was a dub and didnt have a life.. so come on guys and girls give us all a laugh and tell us your story.

  Struggling to keep balance

  dont overstate matters.

  the situation in oregon is a terrible tragedy.

  the watchtowers policy on shunning likely contributed to the tragedy, it may have even been a primary factor but there are any number of other factors that could have contributed as well - too many to even mention!.

  Where do you enjoy most - Making Love???

  by Celtic in

  where do you enjoy most - making love with one another, making that deep down, soul to soul shared connection?.

  for me, if it were possible, it s/he would be out within nature, upon the woodland floor, with a few sleeping bags and cushions, amonst the leaf strewn woodland floor, at night with the moon overhead, owls calling, wow!!

  the connection there i imagine would be pretty awesome, still never done it.. or on top of the cliffs, with the waves pounding below, sending ripples of vibration through the hillside above.. in stormy weather, on the beach, each place adding / sharing another shared perspective in our one soul love creating.. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm if only.. peace, lots of it, kindness, joy and great friendships, music, wine and general jollity and boogeying it down.. love.

  Great story Mike. Just goes to show that, years later, you still struggled with being a loner and keeping ties with your family. I still struggle with the same thing. The conditioning against "bad association" is ferocious and all-consuming. Yet, we now know intellectually that people are people and there are actually quite few who are really truly "bad" associations, at least not for very long in many cases. Much less one's own flesh and blood.

  Let that be a testament to the damage shunning can cause.

  Macon...what a place for a cruise today...I'm sure you've got some quality weather down there by now
