  when i was 14 or so, my attention got directed to queen.

  Kimberly is great, I think she's more talented than Kelly Clarkson. I still say Ruben is going to win. I hope to see Clay on Broadway. What a commanding voice he has.

  sneaking off at lunch and/or half the afternoon session to make out w/ someone you just met.

  I found the cruising for the opposite very boring and almost desperate in nature. I cruised the halls to help me with the boredom that existed during the "blah blah blah" or "Keep Jehovah First" sessions.

  If This Place Was A Congregation, Who Would Be The Elders, MS and CO's?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know some of you hate the idea of jwd being like a congregation but just for fun, let's imagine who would "serve" as the elders (presiding overseer, secretary, service overseer) etc.

  and what "privileges" you would be given.

  I would be the disfellowshipped one, sitting in the parking lot within earshot of the front door so I could hear the music start, then I'd walk in, and put my head down and sit in the back row. I'd make sure I wouldn't smile at anyone in the bathroom so no one would think I was acknowledging them and therefore, "having association with them." Then at the end of 2 hour blah blah blah session, I'd leave right before the last song knowing this is what Jehovah would want me to do, because I've been a bad girl and I need to repent.

  2. friends

  it has been a very long...in fact decades since i've heard the original version of this masterpiece:

  roberta flack's: killing me softly (1973)

  i was at a local pub here in rayzorblade's neighbourhood, and there was a showcase featuring local indie talent.

  Remember the song "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" - by Roberta Flack. I watched "Play Misty for Me" this past weekend on cable. What a great movie, Jessica Walter playing Evelyn. What a great prelude to "Fatal Attraction." And seeing Clint in his underwear wasn't bad either.

  Kingdom Hall Spankings

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.

  often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.

  people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.

  Why is it all of us ex Jw's remember the spanking the children the most? Why is it every summer at the conventions, I would see and hear parents become child abusers in the halls and bathrooms. And nothing was ever done! I will remember this like it was yesterday. I hated those people who did that!

  I cruised almost 20 years ago. So much has changed since then, so I can't offer any current advice. One thing I do remember, you have to pay for every alcoholic beverage you drink on the ship. That's why I smiled at the guys and they usually bought my drinks, which is why my drink tab was under $20.00 at the end of the cruise.
