  A general apology

  by Seeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been a bit short with people today in the forums, and i shouldn't have been quite so abrupt.

  i get frustrated when i see exjws make the same mistake and join up with political groupthink just as they used to join with governing body groupthink.

  it's all propaganda, as i keep trying to point out, but the fact is that you can believe whatever you want without my input.. i realize i keep harping on conservative hypocrisy lately, but that's because they are in power right now.

  I'm awaiting the next installment, Ashi! Good story.... why didnt I know you when I was young? We sound like we went through alot of the same things. I too, was mature for my age, and alot of bros and sis's would tell me a little too much. I cant wait to hear the juice!!!!!!!!

  Kep, good advice. He's right Ashi... take it easy and just remember that writing some memories are painful. Be prepared for the flood of emotions.. but its very healing too!

  Fire and Mindchild,

  Thanks for the great stories! They sure made me chuckle...what a pathetic guy that was, fire! I wouldve said, 'boy, are you that desperate to get laid?' LOL

  MInd, gawd was that guy a card! A helicopter???? I knew a few like that though..you could swear they were up to 'no good'... always slicking the hair back and adjusting the tie, preparing for their next victim!

  Rummy,

  Your story broke my heart! I hope you can get it reversed.. if not, like Scully mentioned, since you are still making sperm they can collect it and impregnate your lady. I think it would be easier in a man's case, than in a woman's... kind of like you, I was told after my son that I shouldnt have more kids and at 20 I had my tubes tied. Now at 28 I would love to have more children. My case was different though, because of health problems, but still..

  I am under the opinion that men can get help easier than if a woman wanted to reverse it.

  Good luck!!!!!

  JBean,

  I loved him so much... God, I can't explain. I think alot of it had to do with that I lived in a very emotionally repressive house where no love or passion was shown. He was so passionate... he could scream out his anger, lust, anything he felt... and damn I loved him! I thought he was a hottie. Purple Rain was my favorite... how I hated Appalonia (it made me sick to see him kiss her). I loved his raw sexuality and sensuousness. I love his older stuff.... to be honest, alot of the newer stuff sounds like crap. Some of my favorites were Kiss, The Beautiful Ones (I loved the ending!), When Doves Cry, If I was Your Girlfriend, Adore, Gett Off... those were some goodies.

  For those of you who didnt click the link posted in an earlier thread, here is a sample of what it said:

  ......he'd return to his love of God and hatred
  of the record industry: "Twenty-first-century women do not want to live by a role.
  They want to say to men, 'Let's switch our roles.' But things don't work that way.
  You have to know your role and make it work. It's the same thing with the music
  industry. You have to find the good roles that work and go with them."

  "It's funny," City Pages' Maerz says. "We ended up talking about all of the things
  we were warned he didn't want to talk about."

  Erin Anderson, a Prince fan since hearing the CD, was intrigued by Prince's
  newfound faith and puzzled by his gender-related comments. This was, after all,
  the man who penned "If I Was Your Girlfriend." So after the press conference,
  while Prince was shaking hands with reporters as they left, she hung back. Last in
  line, she asked if they could sit down sometime and discuss religion. They talked
  for the next 30 minutes.

  "Little did I know that the conversation would be a nightmare," she says, allowing
  only that the exchange, which took place off the record, revolved around gender.
  "I was still sort of expecting something really different to come out of his mouth. I
  was thinking, 'I'm going to hear some really great and really unusual things. And
  it's going to make me feel better about what he was saying in the press
  conference.' That didn't happen. I felt like I was being interrogated. At times he
  was listening to me, but for the most part I felt like he wanted to hear himself
  speak."

  Since the press conference, Anderson has seriously considered taking her Prince CDs to
  the trash bin. "I haven't really been able to listen to his stuff," she laments. "It's like
  watching a train wreck. He's working himself into eventual obscurity."

  Maerz used her disillusionment to fuel a column. "How can someone who so
  revolutionized gender roles in the early Eighties with his androgynous style and
  ambiguous sexual orientation suddenly insist that we should all adhere to
  'traditional' values?" she wrote in the June 13 issue of City Pages.

  The artist was not amused. The day after Maerz's piece was published, Stephanie
  Elmer called to inform her that Prince had requested an audience. Maerz, who
  didn't receive the message until evening, wondered if they could schedule
  something the next day. No way. Tonight it would have to be, 9:00 p.m. sharp.
  Unable to pass up a rare opportunity for a one-on-one interview, Maerz agreed.

  At Paisley Park she was escorted to a small conference room, where she had to
  wait only a few minutes. Prince arrived, they exchanged niceties, then sat side by
  side on a couch. When she began to write in her notebook, Maerz says, Prince
  informed her that their discussion would be off the record. No tape recorder. No
  notes. She went along with Prince's demand. The 30-minute conversation, she
  reports, went from friendly to confrontational, then ended abruptly. "It became
  clear to me that the only reason he invited me out there was so he could have the
  last word," she observes in retrospect. "It was a total power trip."

  That is so depressing..... I thought he was so talented. I can't believe he's gotten so bad, if this story is accurate. All I can say is..... Wow! [8>]

  Who Would Jesus Disfellowship?

  That is a good one! I have never heard of it...

  The other ones here were great too! I think I will paint this on a sign and hold it in the driveway of the kingdom Hall! What could they say? It is a good line!

  My story is to long to tell......

  i am new to this forum but i have for the past several days been reading posts from people that for the first time in 26 years have pasts, memories and feelings like my self.

  suffice to say that i too was born and raised in "the truth".

  i have at one time or another been, a ms, a vacation pioneer, a regular pioneer, a disfellowship individual, a re-instated individual, publicly reproved, privately reproved and finally for the past 7 years a man who they don't even come on my property cause he's a nut who might shoot you and will at the very least call the police and have you arrested for trespassing individual.. unlike so many others though i find no personal desire to rant or rage against the machine.
