  .

  for those who didn't attend meetings for a while, imagine that you just walk into your kingdom hall 10 minutes before a meeting.

  what would be their reaction?

  "Good to see you here" "The friends all miss you" "Jehovah wants you back" I could just here all their lame comments. I am sure the ones who shun me in public would talk to me at the KH. They think as long as I am J's house their rules allow them to greet me. I still cannot believe how I was so blind while a J-dub. How I could not see the the whole religion is set around unscriptural rules. They say they are governed by love but they are truly governed by RULES.

  Since the elders are supossed to keep thing said in "the little room" confidential maybe you can file a lawsuit against them for violating this.
  
  I am sure the gossip mill has already gotten started. Do some investigating and find out the source of the leak.

  Judge jailed for exposing himself during trials
  
  Friday, August 18, 2006; Posted: 4:49 p.m. EDT (20:49 GMT)
  
  BRISTOW, Oklahoma (AP) -- A former judge convicted of exposing himself while presiding over jury trials by using a sexual device under his robe was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
  
  Donald Thompson had spent almost 23 years on the bench and had served as a state legislator before retiring from the court in 2004. He showed no reaction when he was sentenced.
  
  At his trial this summer, his former court reporter, Lisa Foster, testified that she saw Thompson expose himself at least 15 times during trial between 2001 and 2003. Prosecutors said he also used a device known as a penis pump during at least four trials in the same period.
  
  Thompson, 59, was convicted last month of four felony courts of indecent exposure for incidents that took place in his Creek County courtroom.
  
  Judge C. Allen McCall denied a defense motion asking that Thompson be allowed to remain free pending an appeal. Thompson also was ordered to pay a $40,000 fine.
  
  Thompson, a married father of three grown children, testified that the pump was given to him as a joke by a longtime hunting and fishing buddy.
  
  "It wasn't something I was hiding," he said.
  
  He said he may have absentmindedly squeezed the pump's handle during court cases but never used it to masturbate.
  
  Foster told authorities that she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during the August 2003 murder trial of a man accused of shaking a toddler to death. A whooshing sound could be heard on Foster's audiotape of the trial. When jurors asked the judge about the sound, Thompson said he hadn't heard it but would listen for it.
  
  Police built a case against the judge after a police officer testifying in a 2003 murder trial saw a piece of plastic tubing disappear under Thompson's robe. During a lunch break, officers took photographs of the pump under the desk.
  
  Investigators later checked the carpet, Thompson's robes and the chair behind the bench and found semen, according to court records.
  
  Carmelia Brossett, a senior probation officer for the state Department of Corrections, said in a presentencing report that Thompson refused to undergo psychosexual testing.
  
  "Thompson's denial of the offense would likely present difficulty, if not inability for treatment providers to provide meaningful and beneficial sex-offender treatment," she said.
  
  The jury recommended a sentence of one year in prison and a $10,000 fine on each count. The jury foreman has said it was the jury's intent that Thompson serve the full sentence.

  i'm in a relationship now and its my first serious one.

  she keeps telling me that she's scared because she believes i'll eventually get bored with her and start wondering how it feels like with other women.

  so she wants me to hook up with other girls when she goes out of the country for the fall semester.. personally i dont want to, but this is making me wonder, in the average person's first ,serious relationship, whats the cause of the breakup?

  I was my ex-b/f's first girlfriend ever. He was 21 and I was 23 when we go together. It lasted four years.
  
  He go bored of me and wanted to experience more (girls) so he found a new girlfriend then dumped me.
  
  As someone here said: It hurt like hell but worked out for the best.
