  Gregor—A Poster You Should Get to Know

  by AuldSoul in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just had a very enjoyable, insightful conversation with gregor, "the kool-aid man".

  i learned some things and shared some things, and i think we are both the better for the conversation.. i think it would do everyone a lot of good to occasionally remember that on this forum, due to the limitations of the medium, we can really only see a weird sort of 2-dimensional person (sometimes only a 1-dimensional person) through the posts we read.

  i just wanted to let everyone know i am glad i am getting to know gregor.

  G'day seahart,

  I met gregor when he first came here and could see right away he's alright (I don't think axe weiding maniacs are as common as we're led to believe.) Anyone would be safe meeting with 90% or more of the posters posting here. I'm constantly amazed how well we get to know each other online. I've met over a dozen exjws offline and they've all been really nice Ozziepost and his wife, Old Tom and his wife, Refiner and his wife, the delightful ms Peaches mmm come to think of it Bathory the vampire was a worry lol.

  A good idea for meeting people is to call for an apostafest at a coffee shop or resturaunt. It should be possible to have one in most major cities in the world.

  cheers, unc.

  You must live in a lovely spot vitty,

  I wish everyone here had a camera. I'd love to see where everyone lived - good bad or ugly. I lived in Sydney for 15 years and recon I could take some interesting shots from places not usually seen (the harbour bridge from industrial areas and the like).

  Here people like to make a statement with rusty mail boxes and the like:

  Being raised in the suburbs I think it's funny that the owners these mailboxes are big wigs of Australias corporate and academic world" (I offered to replace one so the mail wouldn't get wet and they were horrified! lol.

  Thanks for enjoying the pics folks (yes richards paddock sculpure is known localy as the big sperm :)

  Monday nights I've been doing a welding metalwork course. My dad was a plumber so I was practically born with an oxy torch in my hand but it's been great getting expert tuition from old boilermakers.

  Supporting Vegetarian/Vegan Teens

  by Scully in

  1. social
  2. family

  my youngest is toying with the idea of adopting the vegan lifestyle.

  she came to me at 11pm last evening with a strict list of what she wanted me to purchase for her as soon as the store opened this morning.

  her enthusiasm could easily have been mistaken for "preaching".... and i'm afraid it didn't foster a very receptive spirit in me.. my main concern is her having adequate nutrition.

  It's about time McDonalds produced a Popeye burger loaded with spinach and mayo for all the scarey vegans out there

  I put my little girls off meat one day by making baaaaa noises when I stuck my fork into roast lamb. That was nearly 20 years ago and the poor things aren't over it yet.

  Your Funniest House-to-House Presentations

  by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so when my brother was a wee little lad, my mother was helping him prepare his first presentation.

  it involved a paradise tract, i'm sure.. anyway, so my brother, probably about 5 or 6 years old, stands at his first door and makes his little presentation.

  except he kind of forgot what he was going to say and kind of made it up on the spot, because what he ended up saying was, "if you'd like to live forever you can have this tract.

  It actually wasn't a presentation, but an experience. When I was a teenager, a buddy of mine and I went up to a door and this guy around 50 years old came to the door wearing nothing but his briefs. While my friend was talking he yelled "get out of here! And if you come back again (he then grabbed his crotch) I'm going to pull it out!"

  We could barely contain ourselves. We died laughing as we walked away from his house.

  Nowerday's you'd go back with a camera and expose him here .. hey do you remember where he lives
