Clive Thomas used to be my CO in NS back in the 80's. I remember being told he gave up a really good job as a reporter/writer to enter the full-time work. He is rather articulate and well-spoken. It's a sad thing watching someone with his smarts representing the lie that is the Watchtower Society. The names on that list should be given to the authorities and those people should be investigated by the Police.

you take the name of your favourite pet as the first part of your porn-star name, then you take your mothers maiden name for your porn-star surname.. which makes me...george bennet, hmm fairly ordinary i suppose... but her ladyship becomes...poppy male...ah, it works sometimes then!.
this could be good.

I am pretty jaded when it comes to trusting people. I can count on one hand the people I trust. Quite a difference from my naive days growing up a JW..

my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.
Hmmmm...Got yanked into a meeting when I was a MS for wearing a leather braclet. I was told it looked worldly. They didn't much care for my black shirt with blood red tie either.
I also got into alot of trouble for playing rock music in the KH. One of the brothers ran a cleaning business.(I know....they are everywhere..lol). Worked for him part time and he offered to clean the carpets in the hall. He assigned myself and another young brother to do the work. Well...We decided to play some tunes over the speaker system while we cleaned the carpets and got busted with Def Leppard playing "Pour Some Sugar On Me". Got a very looooonnnggg lecture and grounded for it. I think I was about 16 at the time...

Welcome to the board! There are alot of great people here and this is a great place to hang out and learn.

great game!
a city building game set in ancient greece, with a twist - when you build a temple to one of the gods, they personally visit your city and bestow their blessings!
a temple to zeus is best - a very ot type god - bearded, wreathed in cloud and lightning, walks the city bestowing blessings on places which find his favour and smiting invading enemies and gods alike (you've got to deal with an invading monster yourself...).
I haven't played Zeus/Poseidon but I have finished Age of Mythology. Great game! I also finished Warcraft III which was fun.Plan on playing Neverwinter Nights. If you like city building you might want to try Stronghold. Castle siege is a blast.

Welcome Stephanie:)

this is bad.
soooo bad.. .
when i was kid, growing up outside seattle, i had the responsibility of taking care of the family yard.
What I really don't like is when people let their animals out and they come onto your property to do their business. Happened to a guy I used to know when I was a teenager. He lived in the country and his house was right on the lake. Some of the houses were owned by city people that came down on the weekends. It never failed...The next door neighbours had a yappy little poodle who used to come on to my friends lawn to have a dump. My friend proceeded to teach the dog by shooting it with a BB gun in the butt everytime it came over to use his lawn. Didn't take long and the dog learned not to step on the lawn. He would a skirt the edges but never step on it....hehe.

well....got a call from an elder in my hall yesterday.
they are wanting to come visit and wanted to set up a time.
i put it off citing family issues.
Thank you for you huggs and support Kelpie and UR:)
My friend that they are trying to corner is going through alot of difficulties in his life right now. I told him now matter what I would be there as friends should be. We actually are like brothers and it was very difficult to hear him on the phone break down and cry. He has alot of issues with the JW's and he can see how there is a lack of love amongst most of the members. I will help him any way I can.
My wife does see that there are problems with the way some things are carried out. She is a 4th gen Wit. and says although there are some problems she has "faith". She believe's in the Elders and feels that they are doing Jehovah's will. I do my best to keep everything calm but it is difficult. She has a very large family of elders,PO's, Pioneers etc.
My parents are very much in but my father has changed a bit and seems kind of sad. He told me not to rock the boat so I won't get into trouble thus causing family problems. He is aware of some of my views and calls them apostate but told me to keep them to myself. He used to be an Elder for a long time and was one of the "nice" Elders in the hall. He was a bit wild when he was younger and understood what it was like. He helped a few of my friends when they got in trouble. My friend's told me he seemed like the only one who really cared.
It seems that there are alot of scarred,frustrated,angry and sad people who are that way because of the JW's. This is a sad reflection on a religion that purports itself to be one of love.
I am sorry for rattling on so much but it help me deal with these issues expressing them like this.
