this morning on the way to work, i burst into song.
not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "star spangled banner".
i just felt like singing and i wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice.
what is your personality type?
take one of the tests below and then post your results.
i have taken this type of test many times.
.
i loved your post' and i miss reading them.. i know someone hurt you, i miss you very much !!!!!!!!.
is your baby here yet, please keep me informed.. please come back .
Hey Wind,
I would not involve Ronnie in anything that he is not already involved in. He is a good friend and I care about him too much to drag him through anything. I am going to stay neutral because I don't have all the facts. I am not going to say anything bad about anyone from things I have only heard and not seen. I hope you are doing good! Ronnie likes you a whole lot and I trust his opinion on some things for sure!

I'm only gonna reply to this one time (I hope) because I was involved in just about ALL of those threads. I don't have any ill will towards anyone involved but was very much disturbed by all of the personal attacks. I and many others were very hurt by all of the negativity in those threads and I received numerous emails asking me what the hell was going on. One of the reasons I came here was because I was looking to start over but I see that what happens one place eventually spills over somewhere else.
Snoozy if you want to send a message to Ronnie you should do it elsewhere as he doesn't come here. If you would like I can tell him what you said.
I hope this is the end of this but I doubt it is. As with many others I have been unable to contact Dragon but hope he will contact me when things in his life calm down. For now though I wish you all peace and much happines.

i don't think any of this is really all that unusual so i'm sorry if you find it dull.
i was raised in the jw cult from birth, a third generation member to boot.
my family was full of elders, ministerial servants and overseers of all sorts.
following on from the thread "be nice...", don't you think there would be a lot less disrespect and flame wars if all members had either .
a. attended an apostfest (i.e.
met their fellow posters).

I don't think any of this is really all that unusual so I'm sorry if you find it dull. I was raised in the JW cult from birth, a third generation member to boot. My family was full of elders, ministerial servants and overseers of all sorts. I never felt comfortable in the organization though. I had so many questions that were never answered or were just brushed off with simplistic replies:"Jehovah knows". I also received overzealous corporal punishment on a regular basis. Small things such as voicing my displeasure at my mothers choice of a meal received punches and worse. As unhappy and withdrawn as I was I still strived very hard to be a good Witness. I eventually got baptized and started to pioneer. When I was almost 19 I met a "worldly" guy who I decided immediatly that I liked. I snuck out of my parents house to go on a date with him. The date turned out badly because he took my back to his house and raped me. I won't go into details but it was a very bad experience and destroyed any faith I had in a god. I immediatly stopped pioneering and went on a wild rampage for about 3 years. Noone ever asked my "why" I was acting this way they just tried over and over to get me to go to meetings and study. Then when I was 22 I had a child. Surprise surprise guess who I found myself sitting in front of. That's right a judicial committee! These morbid old men wanted to know every sordid detail of what I had been up to even though I had hardly attended a meeting in 3 years. No offers of sympathy or support of course. I was publicly reproved and everyone knew why. I stopped caring at that point and haven't been back in the 6 years since. My family still tries to get me to go but it's no use because I've had my blinders removed through what I have seen and read. The only thing I can do now is help get my younger siblings out and offer them support. So far that hasn't been a problem and I think that even my mother wants to leave.
I have to remain somewhat anonymous because I still have some family members who attend but I hope that some of this helps all of you to understand my point of view. Thanks for listening!

as humans our brain works in ways that make us tend to generalize and categorize things, including the types of people.
being as i am half human (the other three quarters are pure ass...) i do the same.
from my observations i see 3 types of people on this board: the activiststhe rationaliststhe rest of us (rest-of-us (tm)).
dear friends:.
i have been watching you very closely to see if you have been good this.
year and since you have i will be telling my elves to make some goodies for me.
