I was near it many times. How I got through not dying in the borg I will never know. It was not the borgs fault for my depression, however, they show such an uncaring attitude towards me, and all others whom are weak, they bear heavy bloodguilt before any god. They only want to be with strong people, and hate you, that's right, HATE YOU if you miss meetings b/c you are not feeling well. Their attitudes and very nature of the religion disgust me on a high level. The names of these poor people should be written on a wall, or something, just like anonymous names of those whom suffered sexual abuse all these years, only to be disfellowshipped for complaining about it. The names should be mailed to the society by every ex-jw, and anyone else who cares, once a week until they fess up for their bloodguilt. They are disgusting.

69Did you know anyone who commited suicide in the org?
by JH inback in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.
his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.
he was always controlled by his father.

Francois,
No offence, but my grampa listens to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd. The rolling stones are all a bunch of grampas, too. It's not to say that their music is good, but it is very very old. Pink Floyd started back in the 70's, rolling stones, 60's.... you get the idea.
Nowadaze, what I listen to is considered "old". Like Pixies, Skinny Puppy, Ministry, I could go on. What is new one minute is old the next.

I remember this one daily show where the "reporter" went into this cult, and was asking them all these questions about aliens, and whatnot. I nearly wizzed in my pants, it was so funny. You gotta see it to believe it...

Local Needs Talk Given About My Family

the account of achan and his family was discussed.
because they did not report what achan had done, the entire family was punished by jehovah with death.

LOL, Prisca.
Also, Minimus, welcome back! I missed your threads!
Getting back to it... I know what you mean, Prisca. They always assume that you are doing something evil. I heard a story once of a young couple dating that got reproved b/c the boyfriend parked his car over at his girlfriends for the weekend, and he went with their parents camping. THERE WAS A JUDICIAL COMITTEE ABOUT IT. Like, mind your own F***ing business, you arsholes. They are just nosey creeps sometimes when they want to get dirt on you!
Minimus, good for you for fading. I say just stop going. Tell them that you think that the body of elders is against you in your hall, and stop going. Make them feel guilty for what they've done. Or, just say," with talks like that, I don't get any encouragement from going to meetings in this hall", and walk away. Hypocrites!~

I have no real preferences.. it depends what mood I'm in. I will not listen to country / western, or opera, though. Classical is OK. I love old punk rock, get a kick out of 80's heavy metal, 90's "alternative" music is cool, but the 2000 music is pretty much regurgitated garbage, and I don't liike a lot of it.
My fav. bands:
The Pixies....
TOM WAITS - OUTSTANDING MUSIC!!!!!!
That's about it. I also like "skinny puppy", one of the first industrial bands out there, complete with scratched in opera and screams.... LOL. I guess you can say that anything that you put in your CD player I probably won't mind it, although my pic's above look pretty scary!

A redneck, to me, is someone who is poor and ignorant. Thinks nothing of calling a black man a, well, you know. A redneck is always proud of being a redneck. Never sad or worried about it....

hope for us all!
by Ravyn inpersonality keeps changing with age: study
by linda carroll.
new york (reuters health) - in contrast to the theory that an adult's personality is set in stone by age 30, a new study suggests personality does change throughout life -- and often for the better.. .

I strongly believe that our personalities continually change. True, we don't suddenly become different, but we look at things through a different light as time goes on..... I personally am more sympathetic toward people, and far far more patient.

DISGUSTING. What kind of organization is giving out this award??? ever hear of it??? Duh!
JW'S promoting worldly beliefs in their literature? Worldly acclaim??? It's obviously some big frigging joke. I wish that I could use the explicit language here to say waht needs to be said. PRICKS.
