which watchtower or awake cover do you remember the most?

how do you define someone as anti-american?
if you strongly disapprove of, say, america's foreign policies, yet basically have an affection for american people, does this still make you an anti-american?
is it possible that people are being accused of being anti-american inaccurately?
Invade the land of Mecca? I'm a pistol packing flag waving beer drinking SOB and even I went cold when I read that.
Not possible. Slow corruption through Starbucks... that's my plan.
SIMON: You aren't seriously angered by U-571, are you? That was a Bon Jovi film, wasn't it? It was made to MAKE MONEY, and it wouldn't have made as much money if it had starred Hugh Grant, Anthony Hopkins, and Ginger Spice. History simply isn't as important as the box office opening weekend.
My general impression is that people have a lot of problems with American historical interventions in other countries. But when I travel, most people treat me civilly and are curious about where I come from. PEOPLE get along fine, it's goverments that bicker.

btw don't miss another good story about cassies willy on my first post.. .
my former po.. when i was about 10. the po in our congregation was about 45-50 and very friendly to all the young boys and girls at the hall.. he used to always pick us up, lift our shirts and tickle our bellys, and everyone always thought he was so good with children.. .
i clearly remember one instance when he was tickling me at the book study in the living room, when everyone else was in the kitchen, having some coffee and biscuits.. .
HOLY (I'll censor myself so the Politburo doesn't have to...)
WOW!
Awesome! You might get into trouble, but I think you did the right thing. Which might be a clue that you are DEFINITELY going to get into trouble, especially if your real name is up here...

Well,
Imagine it is the late Clinton era - and you are alone at college. If Naru's avatar invited you (a 20 something male) to join in their "digusting" display of affection - how much longer would YOU remain in "the truth"??? Not too damn long, eh?
The "truth" had a good grip on my brain, but it couldn't keep ahold of my willy! (although those girls did, yum!)
I was finally freed in my mind when I realized that the elders didn't really care about me, and enjoyed powertripping in the JC over helping me - and then I began to read about where the Bible really came from. That was two years AFTER I was diffed. Up until then, I kept going to meetings and sitting in the back, and preparing for the studies, and all that crap. I finally decided I wasn't going to spend my life trying to meet some ill-defined standard set by people who I didn't like and didn't like me.
Now I cherish my freedom, and my independence, and my open mind, and my free speech, and my ability to swear when I'm cranky and sleep in when I'm tired, and own guns, and watch porn, and drink too much sometimes and hit the bong occasionally, maybe pop a couple painkillers and a glass of wine on SPECIAL occasions - go to rock shows and marry a girl (for other reasons than regular meeting attendance and collection of floor length floral print skirts) you know what? I'm going to learn to play guitar.
I dunno. My experience made me proud to be an American. That's why I get so touchy when I get the feeling that people want to take my rights away. I'd rather die than go back to that kind of control, which is why I'm a little paranoid about social engineering.

okay, i think i'm crazy; and i think i need therapy.
well here's a rundown of my life: .
born; molested by cousin; best friend murdered by her father; eating disorder; abusive boyfriends; betrayed by best friend of 15 years; disfellowshipped; married after 6 months of dating; disowned by family; moved cross-country where i don't know anyone (this is only a partial list of course).
((SP))
Returning the hugz I got on my thread.
Try prayer. Find a god you can identify with and pray to him/her. The One True God has many masks and many hands with ten fingers each...
Okay, if that didn't creep you out - then pray.

i'm a loonie, but it seems that i've been dealing with some pretty severe waves of depression lately.
her majesty the czarina went on prozac last month and it was working wonderfully, until suddenly last week she suddenly had a bad day, and then another, and then another... it's been a week now and we're both in the blahs.
and my one co-worker had an anxiety attack and is kind of blah now, too.. anyway, that makes three people i know of who are having a bad time.

Anyway, that makes three people I know of who are having a bad time. Then berylblue posts, having a tough time this week, and Hamas got banned for something he said while in the throes of despair. Tink's ex suddenly bursts into tears (although if I'd let Tink get away I'd be pretty depressed too, not to mention sexually frustrated). The "Help me I feel like killing myself" threads are springing up all over.
Is there something wrong? I mean, is the planet spinning through a depressive cycle or something? Or is the government experimenting with mind control waves transmitted through Internet cookies?
Is there anybody else that has felt a sudden "spike" in their depression within the past two weeks or so?

i hope you didn't come in here just because you thought you would see something smutty.bad people.
my wife,still a faithfull loyal dub just walked around the corner on me when i had this site open.i hastily closed every thing down which of course made her very suspicious.i hinted around that i had something up that i didn't think she should see.being a good dub and what with the "dangers" of the internet being featured in almost every mag she at once jumped to the conclusion i was on a porn site.. little did she know it was much,much worse than that but i don't think i will fill her in on what i am really up to.
Three weeks of wedded bliss and I'm already jumping at the PORN threads.
Can't believe I fell for that.
Anyway, rebel openly - that's my advice. Leave the site up and let her curiousity to explore what you are doing on the Net get her mind open to the truth about the borg.

i feel so down.
i am beginning to think i am the kind of person that just walks away from their problems, instead of confronting them.
when people hurt me, i will hardly ever show it, voice my feelings or anything.
Have an Arn City - the Burgh's Best Brew.
enjoyed for over 120 years!
Although it's still a baby compared to your European debaucheries.
I would like to help you "lick your wounds in private"...

is there a particular belief/doctrine that really burns you up and makes you wonder how people could believe this, and did you as a loyal jw at one time believe in it (your most hated belief), what made you change your mind ???.
for me, i always enjoy reading the history of the watchtower (1879-1974), and how things constantly change from year to year.
the sodom and gomorrah question is hilarious .
That sex is sinful.
I guess what especially burns me up is the whole "No Independent Thinking" doctrine. Yikes. Most religions only hint at it, they come right out and shout it!
Reminds me of that Simpsons when Ned Flanders ruled the world - "Everybody smile... Just relax and let the hooks do their work."

has the tower a higher percentage of perverts than in other religions because of the two witness rule -- or do you think they are about the same and no different to other religions?
Just wanted to point out that, having worked in a hospital, sometimes the patients accuse random strangers of horrible or bizarre things.
One lady threated to have Rudy Giuliani "can my ass" if I didn't immediately put her back in "her room" which was in the "Jew Hospital" in "New York."
Being that I live in Pittsburgh, PA, I was unable to fulfill her request.
Another woman, high on morphine, claimed that I assaulted her and made "sick suggestions" the night before.
I'd been on vacation the night before and hadn't even gotten back in town till 12 midnight, and there was simply no way, barring telepathy, that I could have made any suggestions to her at all.
A third woman, suffering from Alzheimer's, said that she would like to have sex with me and my girlfriend. Fortunately, this was done in front of the entire nursing desk, so there was absolutely no room for any accusations of any impropriety on my part. She, on the other hand, was very inappropriate.
