It seemed a good template for lots of parents. But some JW parenting's a little closer to that in There Will Be Blood.

I'm with slimboyfat & Heathen
People leave the JWs and no longer identify with them, unlike many other groups. I get the impression from lapsed Catholic/Jews/Mormons and Muslims that they still identify with their faith of birth while no longer practising it. Few lapsed JWs will label themselves as such, even if they are believers, because it's instilled into them that unless you are Witnessing you're not a JW.
This would explain the difference in some of the figures.

I'd think the positive contributions of gays in arts, science, and such would sway a angry white man like me. to tolerance .. cause they have.
The gay contribution to science arts and society has always been there but went on unnoticed until some got militant and started waving flags and going on marches. You're obviously not the angry white man you like to present yourself as!

Gay people are like everyone else, a mixture of cool, middling and tossers.

What puts us angry white men off about gays is the freak parade that the media wants to front as the Gay image. Heteros dont make that kind of statement about our lifestyle and those extremists that get all the attention on Gay Pride day sort of scare the un-initiated.
I beg to differ, every day the hetero lifestyle is waved in our face. You need to look at advertsing, sitcoms and movies a little more closely. Gay Pride marches are a response of a minority and previously suppressed group in response to this. The marches didn't start as celebrations, they started as protest and in many countries still are. You just need to look at the events that took place in Russia last year.
While not being a Pride attending gay man I appreciate that these marches contributed to the relative freedoms I enjoy today.

while i have no desire to be 'in charge' of a bunch of wild apostates if you let me know how many of you there are and where you're staying I'll be able to point you in the right direction.

So what is the current plan regarding what we do on what evenings?
Go on the lash? I'll be around that weekend and am happy to act as chaperone some of the time and steer you round some of the better pubs that aren't full of tourists. I'm an architectural historian and i'd be glad to give anyone a wee tour if their interests lie in buildings. feel free to message me.

by FlyingHighNow ini was 17. it was 1975, the winter.
i was riding with my future first mother in law, in her vista cruiser wagon, the kind the kids drive on that 70's show.
we were pulling up to the dekalb county courthouse in decatur, ga. a very near suburb of the great city of atlanta.
