i don't mean in general, i mean for exjw's... is there a noticable advantage to pairing with someone with the same background?
i'd like to read your thoughts and experiences on this subject.. i've been romantically involved few times, since "the light got brighter" for me about the organization, with people who didn't know anything about jw's before meeting me.
one of them viewed my exjw activity as a bit obsessive but okay as long as she got to obsess on her favorite obesssions, too.

Beaudy Simon,
Now we can correct some of Stephanus's little "errors" and write our prophesies and preach and stuff. Can we write in other peoples bios too? I've got a few paragraphs to say about Stephanus and Hippikon and two and a half chapters of dirt on Tina. Hey where's lil' sister Tina's bio????

strong gale force winds and storms have been lashing the coast of new south wales for the past two weeks bringing unseasonally cool to cold weather.
the bush fires that had been burning throughout the state's interior have been extinguished.
now the state government has had to react to the new storm damage disaster and the state emergency service has been working around the clock for the past week to repair and cover damaged roofs.
G'day BATHORY,
You're part of the problem. When you gonna get off your glutamus maximus and become a full time pioneer? Merry Christmas Bro ... and i sincerly hope you have some good family downtime. Having a golden gaytime at Balmoral beach was great the other day.
cheers, unclebruce who recons Australians can be brainwashed just as easy as the next boofhead
i'm not one for christmas music generally.
mrs thirdson has been playing various cds at home and in my car when we are together and i appreciate some of the music but at this time of year i tend to hear too much.
of course growing up i despised christmas music because it was either pagan or just too commercialized.. today i was deeply moved by james taylor's melancholy version of the oft recorded song of this title.
G'day Thirdson,
Enjoy the sad bro.T, I love the deep brooding piano and dark haunting lyrics of Nick Cave so what can i criticise? ;) Thanks (now you got me humming Judy Garland lol)
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Lee.
PS: Like your Kofi Annan quote. Aren't the powder kegs blowing at the moment.
when a nation learns of a traitor in their midst, that nation's people show reactions that reflect anguish and torment.
such was the case in the united states when it was learned that a us citizen had been captured while fighting for the taliban.. this evening in australia, the shocking news is that an australian, "one of our own", has also been captured by the northern alliance in afghanistan.
the captive had received training from the al-qaeda movement.. here is tonights' headline news 'downunder':.
G'day aussie,
I think the papers screaming "TRAITOR!" is a bit rich and as silly as screaming "HERO!" about the same guy. When the lad joined the fight in Kosova we were all being encouraged to sympathise with the Moslem cause and even calling for them to be armed to defend themselves against thier Serbian agressors. It may well turn out the guy turned against Australia at some point, then fair enough, shoot the bastard. But I take some of the emotive headlines at the moment with a spoonful of salt and bad memories of the way my home papers lied and covered up the truth, playing a big part in the jailing of Lindy Chamberlain.
cheers, unclebruce, wondering what's been gained thus far from re-arranging Afghanistans rubble.
hey guys,.
the family and i just got back from seeing the movie.
those of you who read the books will not be disappointed!
Thanks hug groapy,
I'm really looking forward to it. I have several books of Tolkien inspired art.
cheers, unclebruce.

Merry Xmas Reckless (you seen bible'dianna ross'man yet? ;)
well, i am the pot stirrer, a**hole, back-stabber, coward, et all.
it certainly was not my intention, and i did the very thing that repulses me in others.
in one sentence, i spread gossip that hurt another poster.
Hey TJ,
If you see my name up there in chat come on in .. i won't disguise anything from ya either lol. I've been in chat a lot and that sort of thing is pretty rare .. it's usually a barrel of laughs. Sometimes i laugh so hard i can't type.
cheers cobber, unclebruce
i need to clear somethings up... thanks!.
1. when i visited some big churches in europe, ie, notradamn (sp?).
i saw the church being covered with gargoyals, why is this?.
1. When I visited some big churches in Europe, ie, Notradamn (sp?). I saw the church being covered with gargoyals, why is this?
Architects way of asserting thier masonic view.
2. Does God sing?No he doesn't even shower.
3. Why did God create the universe when God has no needs?If I believed in God I'b be with Rex on this one and i'd say the earliest motive for everything was Gods loneliness .. he therefore needs men as much as they need him.
4. How come it took God so long to decide to create Earth?Who told you that? LOL God, if he exists, is beyond our time and space (something thought long and hard about by men like Einstein but you won't hear discussed in Watchtower school)
5. I heard something about a guy giving birth to three sons, and one of those sons committed a sin, and he became black, the other son committed another lesser sin and became asian.And they all went sailing off with thier sweetarts to populate a new world.
6. Many Civilizations such as Japan, China and mostly Asian countries has never heard about God even though their civilization spans to 2000BC, why is this???? Bollocks! LOL How is it then that great Chinese Emperor what iz face invited Buddhist, Catholic and Hindu priests for a great debate? The Pope chose not to send a deligation for obvious reasons. (asian history proffessor you ain't!)
7. How can an Angle who is supposed to be pure of goodness turn against God and become evil?Some Angles are obtruse.
8. How does God know what everything tastes like, ie. like Chicken tastes like chicken, and pork tastes like pork?... hmmm... I'm not sure what I'm trying to say...I often ask this myself .. I mean when God made lemons did he know they'd go so well with fish?
9. I heard a JW should not bow down to any symbol or picture of God or Jesus (From Watchtower Book). But why do people in churches always bow down to the big giant cross in the end of the church?To bow is to show respect and loyalty .. devotion sentimental stuff like that.
10. What's the pope's relation to Jehovah?They're passionately in love but like all love, it's really self love.
11. Yahweh sounds cool, can I use Yahweh instead?Use YaWaKeR it's more intimate.
12. Why does God have a grudge against homosexuals?His only bastard son ran off and shaked up with a dozen of 'em.
13. Many people believe that playing God is strictly prohibited (ie. cloning humans), but God is supposed to know all, and he is supposed to know that we would eventually discover cloning, wouldn't that mean he approves of this?Many people believe that God walked into Moses tent and was only disuaded from smaking him upside the head when Moses wife brandished a knife, cut of the end of her babies dick and threw it at Jehovahs feet. (i believe this proves YHWH was Jethro .. another day)
14. God says he knows everybody, and he knows if a person is going to follow God or not, so God can forgive that person. But if God knows the future, wouldn't there a destiny for us? that we cannot choose our own lives?God talks to you eh?
15. God says he can see everybody at once, but considering that earth is 3D, how does he see everyone when it's only possible to see one side of earth at a time?LOL!
