  i don't remember... but may have asked this a long while back.

  is anyone here interested in or have any strong opinions of castaneda's books on the teachings of don juan matus?

  i've always been deeply drawn to these books, even as a young child (my father, not a jw, introduced me to them and that type of "thinking" at an early age; though i often felt guilty reading them and thinking about the existence of the world in that manner since my mother raised me as a jw.

  The birds are getting ready to eat us?

  by santacruzchick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my mom (a baptized jw who hasn't been to a meeting willfully in years) commented today on how the birds in the neighborhood have been acting more aggressive lately.

  how they've been taunting and divebombing our cat, being loud and obnoxious, etc..(the probable reason for this is that our cat probably killed a baby bird or something).

  she said the birds are getting ready to eat animals.

  Piercings Anyone?

  by santacruzchick in

  out of curiosity, is anyone on this forum 'into' body piercings?

  for years i'd wanted my eyebrow pierced, but i never got it done because of course it wouldn't be acceptable at the kingdom hall, and my mom certainly wouldn't be approving.

  finally, my second year in college, around last halloween, i got my eyebrow done, and i love it.

  What should I say?

  by santacruzchick in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to refresh your memories, i was raised as a jw, as of the last few yrs my mom has been inactive (she's the only jw in the family).

  i was never baptized talking and talking and talking, i felt insulted because i already knew everything we were going over.

  however....winter break is begins next week, so i'm going home for about a month.
