Not to get technical, but the picture Ignored_one posted was a whale shark. Not even a mammal. Speaking of which, what kind of hooters must a whale have to nurse a baby whale? Maverick

Is it OK for men to cry?

by JH in

is it wrong for a man to cry when he feels pain, either physical or emotional pain.

we all know that women cry when they become emotional, but for a man, is it appropriate or not appropriate to cry.

is it seen as weakness for a man to cry?

I have a custom XJS coup, and one Friday night I left it parked in front of my house. When I came out in the morning to get the newspaper I was shocked to see a two foot long scratch in the door, all the way down to metal! Someone keyed my car! Now that hurt! Maverick

Ravyn, I love your stories! This reminded me of a joke...The dog looked up at his human and thought,"You feed me, you take care of me, you must be God!" And the cat looked up at his human and thought,"You feed me and take care of me, I must be God!" Maverick

Birthdays

by asleif_dufansdottir in

how fascinating...especially in light of the jw claim that jews considered birthdays "pagan"...an ultra-orthodox (chassidic) website that talks about the importance of jewish birthdays...gee, maybe the wt is wrong.... http://www.chabad.org/calendar/birthday.asp.

what is a jewish birthday?

one's jewish birthday is, of course, the date upon which one was born according to the jewish calendar.

I did not grow up a dud so I enjoyed them as a kid. Every eleven years my birthday falls on Fathers Day. My Dad is a great guy and we made a special thing of it. He is so happy I'm not with the J-duds anymore. I am here in Michigan and will not be with him, but he will call me...Friday! Maverick

Sheparding calls

by undercover in

remember earlier in the year when the elders were supposed to try to contact all inactive ones to try to get them active again?

what success rate did they have?

how many were da'd or df'd after these visits?

Maverick

These guys are pre-programmed to avoid anything that may lead THEM to question the FDS's status. Researching stuff for you 'tripped' this self-avoidance system. They will duck and dodge you on this. They're cowards, and chicken-s--ts! Play dumb...THIS they understand! Maverick

OMG, was I a Free Mason?

by Winston Smith :>D in

lunch break, and i think im going to be sick.

there are old watchtowers at our kh with the cross and crown symbol.

it was always rationalized to me as a symbol from christendom that finally got rooted out.

I wonder if Russell had a funny hat and a secret handshake??? I can picture old Judge R running around in his bedroom at night in his Masons hat and cloak presiding over his mistress! What a bunch of goofs! Maverick

If there was just one person, just one..

that you could now go back and confront or "speak" with who would it be.. during my df'ing there was actually 4 elders, 1 had to leave during the process due to a medical reason with the family, 1 i really had not issue with, and 1 was a life long friend of the family who's daughter was df'd by my father.

the other however, man i would love to be able to just debate with this guy.

he flat out lied 4 x's during the proceeding and i busted him everytime, nothing was done and nothing was said.

My brother has a saying, "Never play another mans game." With the J-dud those committee meetings are 'their game'. That's why I tell the posters here to avoid them. That meeting was a sham, you were set up, no way were you getting out alive! Now, however it is different. Can you reach out to this mans son and 'help' him see the folly of Dud-dom? The J-dud have no problem using our families against us, why not use this to both enlighten the son to the real truth and turn the knife into the old man? This is a win-win situation. Strangely you are in fact showing love to both the father and the son. By freeing the boy of the guilt and mental crap the J-dud Masters poison people with, you are saving him, and what loving father would not be happy with that? Maverick
