i thought this was an international message board where someone was always awake?.
i have a serious case of insomnia and the posts don't seem to be moving very quickly.
maybe i'm drunk and have a case of the slow motions.. my sentences seem to be getting shorter.. why is this happeningt?.
Sonnyboy.
This board is 24/7.
Yes, it can move quickly. But of course, most of the posters/authors are in time zones that are in the majority of sleep mode of cyberspace.

big tex & cruzanheart

BIG TEX & CRUZANHEART
Nina (cruzanheart), why do they call him Big Tex?
OK...I'm gonna get it...but honestly, I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for this person.
He has been super supportive to me for a few years. Even when I was not on this forum much, he still remembered me and gave a damn! which meant a great deal to me.
I have shared a great deal with him. He's always been non-judgemental; he'll call you on your shit though...don't take him to be a softy...he can lay down the law pretty good, when it's in-order to do so.
So...I dedicate this thread to Big Tex & Cruzanheart.
He's given more than his heart and soul post-JW to many of us here, but beyond the forum as well. He's been active on many other forums and he's been there for a few of you in-person (you know who you are). His wife Nina, is an absolute gem as well. She was the first person in the Scott household I ever spoke to. She's a sweetheart. She has also been so helpful to so many on here. Everyone has been made to feel most welcome on here as well as, in-person (I have heard this many times) and in the PMs I have received/e-mails regarding her.
Cruzanheart shared some painful experiences here on this forum. For you newbies, you may want to go back to early 2003 (winter) to see what we're referring to. Later on, their daughter Jennie, posted under supervision of her parents, the loss of her grandfather.
I cried.
Yes...because some stories need to be told; if it is through a child's eyes, then so be it. How honest and forthright is that?
Again, I take my hat off to BIG TEX. CRUZANHEART, and all those of us who have benefitted from their kind welcomes here on this forum and in-person.
Someday, I hope to finally make my acquaintance person-to-person.
Thank you Chris & Nina.
You two really, really do matter....more than you'll ever know.
Respectfully yours,
RAY
Anyone care to add
it's thursday.
time to share the love with outnfree with our weekly prayer vigil.
please be with us tonight at 8:00 central (9:00 eastern, 7:00 mountain, 6:00 pacific).
Again, if folks can merely 'think' of Outnfree at this time; anytime for that matter, it'll do the world of good.
I'm more into projecting thought and discussion about the person. Brenda is my hot topic. I talk about her all the time, because I think she's da bomb!
Many of us folks here in the Toronto area, have had the honour of meeting her. She's just...well...precious and valuable. Balanced and level-headed, the person you wish was running the U.N.. Really!
Big hugs and positive thoughts/vibes to you Brenda.
When I mention your name, I can say it with a smile.
(((Outnfree))) xo,
RAY

i have followed the some of the discussions on this baord for a while.. let me introduce myself.
i am inday, that is just my nick name, the name people call me normally.

Malungkot na ako Inday.
For those not well versed in Tagalog, Inday wrote above: I will not return.
Damn!
I hope, Inday is lurking. Tanauan siya sana...aking mga posts.
Inday, please come back. We need to hear more from you and have someone...even just one Pinoy with their story, that maybe can attest to the activities there. There are other Filipinos lurking. You may be the one to help them make the exit that's necessary.
Huwag makilala iyong Inglish, maayos lang dito...tutoo!
Magingat kayo,

anyone remember that song: "black on black" ?.
remember the movie 9 1/2 weeks" ?.
recently i was reintroduced to this local femme fatale, but that may be extending her description.
Here are the lyrics:
Not by AC/DC, but by Lisa Dalbello:
BLACK ON BLACK
Some things are so sacred... Black On Black A pretty little altar boy Daddy's little pride and joy Change the water into wine Touch yourself and you'll go blind A warning signal from above A place where sinner's fall in love They say that opposite's attract So very strange: Black On Black CHORUS Like pleasure and a little pain The sacred and profane Like a blasphemous contract Just like Black On Black A virginal trembling hand A frightened sacrificial lamb From a blinding light a shadow falls A code of silence quakes the halls A whisper to a piercing scream A love that's way too frightening They say that opposites attract So very strange: Black On Black CHORUS Like pleasure and a little pain The sacred and profane Like a blasphemous contract Just like Black On Black Change the water into wine Touch yourself and you'll go blind They say that opposites attract So very strange: Black On Black BREAKDOWN Something's are so sacred... Like a leading question The power of suggestion Like the face of danger Like the kindness of a stranger Like a Judas Kiss Like pleasure and a little pain Immaculate seduction Absolute corruption Like a blasphemous contract No turning back Like Black On Black Black On Black Back On BlackI can only think of a couple of threads/authors that I could dedicate this song to.

Recently I was reintroduced to this local femme fatale, but that may be extending her description. But our local 'Lisa Dalbello' is and always has been an incredible singer/songwriter. She spent a great deal of time in Europe in the mid-1980s.
She put out an album called: "SHE" that still...rocks with 'her bra off'.
She's a Toronto gal. Man...I just picked up her album (CD) and it's so f*cking cool to go back and hear her stuff.
Wow! No wonder her music has been in movie soundtracks. Awesome!
Her album from 1997 "Whore" was also excellent.
Anyone know of her?
http://www.dalbello.com/ (do a Google.ca search on her, you'll find tons of stuff)
Add me to this list...a few months old.
FBF, je pense toujours about you!
J'espere tout est bein avec toi et en votre vie! (poor french/francais)

tuesday the 9th ...our little scully is going to be ????????
29??
Happy Birthday Scully
Thanks for ... so very much!
when i was a dub, i called on someone who identified themselves as an "apostate".
it was on barrington, in toronto canada.
at any rate, if it was you, let me know.
Did you call on me? Probably not.
But I did have two women call on me back in 2003.
I remember it was...how predictable, early in the morning. My partner and I were sleeping. I heard a 'knock' on the door. I should have known, but being in a newly awakened stupor, I went to the door. I opened it, no one was there, but I did see two women down the landing from my place, knocking on my neighbour's door. I leaned my head out...saying: "Hello".
The two women, an older woman accompanied by a much younger woman came to my door. Within seconds, it was most obvious: they were Jehovah's Witnesses.
Honestly, I used to think that in their infinite wisdom and divine guidance, they'd know NOT to call on me. But they did. Hmm....begs the question now doesn't it?
Anyways, within a few seconds she went on about something...pulling out her Watchtower & Awake magazine.
Now get this, I immediately interupted them stating: "Hold on...hold on, I am an apostate" - she kept on going. My partner Drew could hear what was going on inside. I repeat to her, but this time saying: "You didn't hear a word I said, I AM AN APOSTATE!"
With that, she quickly put the magazines back into her purse and scurried off rapidly down the landing.
I closed the door. Walked back inside. Drew says: "I can't believe that she did not hear you the first time". I've shared with him a-plenty about the JWs.
So...ack ack, I know it wasn't you, because it was not a male at my door.
Barrington Avenue, is only around the corner from me. Not the prettiest part of East Toronto. White Trash heaven.
I wonder what kingdom hall these folks may have been from. Victoria Park & Kingston Road area?
I'm still in the same vacinity.
How are you managing? I hope you're doing alright. You'll find your disorders will improve over time, once you shed the weight of the WTBTS teachings. Trust me, it went that way for me over time.
Best wishes, good health, both mental and physically.
