be honest.
if you were raised a jw didn't you fear that you would die during the great tribulation and never have sex for all eternity (since ressurrected people don't have sex, according to the wt)?
whenever i think of an early demise -- nuclear war, for instance -- my thoughts almost automatically turn to, "i want to have sex.
Ummm.... no. Death makes me think of saving my hiney. Sex on the other hand, makes me think of attacking someone else's hiney. The only thing the two have in common, imho, is hineys. And that is a pretty shitty thing to think about when you think you're going to die!!!!!

wish I could! But doubt it -- often times my bro isn't even there - just has an employee do the shooting! But I can check into it for ya.....!
growedup whose palm is mighty dry and could use some greasing!!!!
okay, you little bomb dropper!
everything was just going fine in chat until you came in and decided to start talking politics!
then, after you got the pot all stirred up to a boil, you removed your skinny butt and left the rest of us in there to duke it out!

I don't think that Bradley is a sissy. I just think we need to find a better way to draw him into the lair conversation. Let's see what happens when we try THIS one:
Hey Bradley! Rumor has it that your man, Kerry, has a wife who likes to support terrorist organizations. Care to comment?!
That ought to draw him out!
Now - let the battle will begin...........!
*smooches*

Hey thanks for the vote of confidence, kls! Looks like Bradley has withdrawn.... so I guess that makes me the winner by default! Bummer! I prefer MUCH more of a challenge......! LOL!
Oh, Bradley!!! Rematch?!!!

I watch TV so rarely, that I wouldn't even miss it if someone stole it out of my living room. However, my husband enjoys American Chopper, and when it is on, if I have time, I will sit down and watch it, too. So far, I have not grown tired of it and actually get some good laughs out of it.
Now - for another side of the story. My brother is one of the camera men for the show, and he says that much of the bickering that goes on is added later - after the filming. If you watch carefully, many times when one of the guys is mouthing off, the camera is on someone else, so you can only hear the words but not actually watch the words being formed by the person speaking them. That is because they are added later. Additionally, many times they will cut in video that they taped after the "wrap" to add a little drama to the situation. And the reason they add that stuff is to make it more interesting. They do it with all reality TV shows, and American Chopper is no different.
I'm sorry it's not so entertaining to you as it once was! I still think it is a great show, and will continue to watch it if it happens to be on the boob, and I happen to be in the room!

you know how there's always someone there, in the back of your mind--even, that you'd just love to tell off.
what would you like to say????
?
Right now, if I could tell one particular person off that I am thinking of, I would tell them to take all the information they have been given in it's context BEFORE abscribing qualities and/or actions to me that, in actuality, are not even close to being correct.

There! I feel better now! Thanks, Min!
many believe in god and that when we die we go to be with him and live forever.
but what if this life is all there is, and god in the end, has no plans for you in eternity.
would you still love him in the now?
Yes - because of the comfort he provides me while I am here.
i was just thinkin awhile ago.
alot of people stay in this kind of social group, anti-witnesses perhaps, for a very very long time.
i was just wondering, when you all think it will be totally over for you?.
OS -
If there is ever place that you DO belong - it is here! You have more people pulling for you and who care about you here than anywhere else, I would venture to guess. With all due respect, O, you need us - and we need you, too. It is okay to need people and to need an outlet. You have some serious baggage - and although I am sure you are sincere when you say that you think you will only last here for about two months, I think you wlll find that the support you get here, and the friends you make here will compel you to stay longer.
fwiw - it is my observation that most who have been around for a while don't spend as much time in the "You're never going to guess what the WT did now" threads as they did when they first came to the board. Most have made friends and spend a lot of time just communing with them because this is a place where they feel they belong. It is okay to feel like you belong here, OS - because you do. And there are so many who love and care about you - including me! So go with it! Allow yourself the luxury of friends who don't make fun of you and who accept you just the way you are. And realize that most of the people here have a great deal of respect for the incredible insight your 16-year-old mind brings to this board. You are worthy of the friendships you are making here - and you deserve to allow them to blossom. Just let it happen and everything will turn out fine!
