When I read threads like this one and see the lack of hope it makes me very sad.
So you desire "hope" (as you call it) so much that you're willing to base that hope, and your entire life, on a lie, knowing that the source of your 'hope' is untrustworthy...
And you think we make you sad??

I wish that smoking was outlawed in public places like it is in CA!
Heh. If they tried that in Jersey their'd be riots. Bars are to relax and enjoy yourselves. Having a cigar, pipe or cig is just a fine addition to a nice evening. We can sterilize every establishment in the world so that everyone can be happy, because it's just not going to happen. Someone's going to be pissed off, no matter what changes happen. Just leave things as they are.
Hey, I never said I wasn't selfish. How 'bout if I said I wanted to go to a bar or restaurant when I had some nasty and virulent disease, that didn't really bother me but was capable of making you deathly ill and making you miss work for a week and pay a fortune in doctor's bills and meds, and sit right next to you and hack and cough, and sneeze on your food. Would you be defending my right to do so, or think I was selfish and stupid? And I have to disagree with this part... Bars are to relax and enjoy yourselves. If smoke bothers you, you can't go to a bar and relax and enjoy yourself. I'd love to be able to go to a bar with my friends and sit and visit and have a drink, but I can't

Odor and environmental allergies are serious, and not just an insignificant annoyance.
I think too often we forget that odors are not just a smell with no substance. Everybody remember their 7th grade science? It's actually particles (molecules? something like that) of the substance in question. When it's fresh-baked chocolate cake, that's a good thing. When it's a chemical, it can be deadly!

JW Superstitions
by sandy inyesterday i got home and i realized i accidentally brought a necklace with a cross on it from my boyfriend's house.. it was in a regular brown paper bag i put some of my things in.
i was lying in bed last night thinking about it wondering if i should take it outside.
i was afraid the demons were going to invade my house.. i decided to leave my tv on all night because we all know the demons will not bother you if your light or tv is on.

That reminds me of my JW cousin, she told my dad that the Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation album was demonic because of one song on there. It was called something like Black
Black Cat?
"Black Cat"All the lonely nights I spend alone
Never around to love me
You're always gone
Cause you're hangin out
Breakin' the rules
Oh the man has come
Looking for you
You're a rebel now
Don't give a damn
Always carrying on
With the gang
I'm trying to tell you boy
It's a mistake
You won't realize
Til it's too late
Don't understand
Why you insist
On ways of living such a dangerous life
Time after time you stay away
And I just know that you're telling me lies
Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna die
You're so together boy
But just at a glance
You'll do anything
If given a chance
Scheming, plannin lies
To get what you need
So full of promises
That you never keep
Don't you tell yourself
That it's okay
Sick and tired of
All of your games
And you want me to stay
Better change
Makes no sense to me
Your crazy ways
Black cat
Nine lives
Short days
Long nights
Livin on the edge
Not afraid to die
Heart beat
Real strong
But not
For long
Better watch your step
Or you're gonna dieI always figured the JWs would hate my favorite Janet Jackson song...It's one of my theme songs now!
"Control" [Spoken intro:]
This is a story about control
My control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way (my way)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready?
I am
'Cause it's all about control (control)
And I've got lots of it)
When I was 17 I did what people told me, uhh!
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago
I'm in
Control
Never gonna stop
Control
To get what I want
Control
I like to have a lot
Control
Now I'm all grown up

Now I know I got to take
Control
Now I've got a lot, ow!
Control
To get what I want
Control
I'm never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up

Thank you
Got my own mind
I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life, my life
I wanna be the one in control
So let me take you by the hand, and lead you in this dance
Control
It's what I got, because I took a chance
I don't wanna rule the world, just wanna run my life
Ooh
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take
Control, ooh ooh

Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
My dad smoked while I was growing up and I hated it then. Hate it more now. Thankfully, he quit cold turkey in his late 50's after smoking since he was probably a pre-teenager. I asked him about it once. He shrugged it off ~ "Just finished a pack one day and never bought another one" I'm impressed.
I never had a sense of smell at all when I was a kid. Hubby told me the first time he kissed me he could taste it even though I didn't smoke (he said he thought "OH NO! She smokes!" - it had been a big bone of contention between him and an old girlfriend). He has asthma and allergies.
Every time I'm around someone who is smoking, the next day I wake up with a full-blown sinus infection (the kind it takes antibiotics to kick). I won't go to bars because of the smoke. I won't sit in smoking sections. I don't visit people who smoke in their houses (I do have a couple of friends who smoke, but don't smoke in their homes). Walking past someone who is smoking outside, or even past the area where people normally smoke even if there's no one there at the moment, gives me a headache.
I wish that smoking was outlawed in public places like it is in CA! People who think they can step a few feet away and light up really don't understand how strong that stuff is or how far it carries. I can smell it from the outside on 2nd floor with the window closed. I don't dispute people's right to smoke but I don't want to have to smell it.
I also hate how the tobacco companies have taken a sacred herb (Indians refer to it as a gift from the Great Spirit) and added crap to it and defiled it. Strangely, I can be in an area where native tobacco is being burned as an offering without it bothering me too horribly much (I do keep my distance).

both sexes! what is your favorite scent-cologne/aftershave/perfume?
by Ravyn ini have always loved perfumes and oils and i have quite a collection that i use as the mood strikes...but i am getting low on many of them and it is time to think about making that birthday gift list sooooooo... what do you wear and what do you like and why?.
my all-time innocent favorite is muguet des bois(lily of the valley)--reminds me of my youth and a cousin who gave it to me as a gift who is passed now.... but i also love the scent of lilac, usually in an oil.. my favorite perfumes are: obsession, rare rubies(avon), coty wild musk, revlon's fire and ice, white shoulders, sand and sable, ck's truth, (and also mesmerize, odyssey, foxfire, jasmine, raining violets, honeysuckle, lemon velvet, hawaiian white ginger--all old classic avon you can only find at flea markets or once a year in the book.).
but i need something new....i like the oriental/spicy blends, but not for all the time.

I don't like 'fake smells' on a guy, either. I much prefer the natural scent (after, of course, it's been scrubbed by plain soap and water!). Back when I was a JW, Polo was really popular. A friend and I used to joke that the less attractive a guy was, the more he slathered on Polo to make up for it . I've never liked Polo, or any other strong cologne, much since.
I almost never wear perfume myself. My husband has allergies and very little sense of smell. I don't have much of a sense of smell, either...when I was a kid, my dad smoked, and I couldn't smell anything. Lots of scented stuff makes me itch. So I never got in the habit of wearing perfume.
However...when I do wear perfume, for me (and I know this will date me horribly!), I love Jovan Musk (yes, I went to high school in the 70's).
I also found an essential oil fragrance at Wild Oats (natural food store) called "Pikaki Lei" that I really like. I'm just not in the habit of putting on perfume every day, though.

What's The Worst Job You've Ever Had?
by SYN inso what's the worst job you've ever had?.
book-servant at the kingdom hall would be pretty bad, but ministerial lawn servant is probably worse.. outside the society, probably my worst job was waitering.
i have a very short short-term memory, although this is more than made up for by my ltm, which means i made a really sh*te waiter, let me tell you.
