Most excellent, Sugar Shane, I like the mugs, too. X D
So easy, even a caveman could do it.

Ferris Bueller, and life after the JWS
by talesin inferris bueller's day off was an huge flick when i was young, and it's a many-layered story.
i was watching this vid, and realized that one reason i love this movie, is that it could be one metaphor for my life.
i took the lead, did it my way, and have had one helluva lot of fun on the journey.

"It may go right,
It may go wrong.
This is the one.
This is the one
She waited for."
That's frickin' powerful, love it! I can get the feelings. And as for the music, love retro punk Merci. If you don't mind, I looked up a version with the lyrics (hard to make them out, and love it xx), here's the link. Great band, great song, we're not worthy!

Loved the Hendrix vid, and will look up the movie. I'm thinking, somewhat along the lines of Trainspotting? Good stuff. xx
Oh, and this one from hometown gal Sara ... I will remember my friend K (always think of her when I hear this song); she's having a good life, I know ....

By the way, if you're wanting a great 'wake-up' song, I recommend Twist & Shout .... it's a happy tune, and lots of energy. I also like Jump!, She's A Beauty and Free Your Mind. xxIs there any music that makes you smile? That says, 'yes, I like my choices'? I have lots; some are more dark, like All Apologies by Nirvana ... this is a happier tune. What's yours?

The danger of thinking we know everything.
by stuckinarut2 ina thought occurred that there is a danger in thinking we know everything, or have it all figured out in life.
especially when it comes to matters of doctrine or faith.. witnesses (or at least the society as a whole) are so self-confident, so proud to be the only ones who know "the truth" about everything to do with the universe, the earth, our past and our future, that pride kicks in.
and pride is dangerous...(.and before a fall).

May I add, that posters who are dogmatic, and choose to plague every thread that could be remotely connected to the topic about which they are dogmatic, can be disruptive, and purposely have derailed many a thread. It's akin to a dog, snapping at everyone who comes within reach of its leash. ('dog', get it?) OTOH, it can be like taking candy from a baby, if you choose to be easily amused. hehe.
Oh, the term dogma need not refer to religion.

Village, roger that.
Umm, Mitchum is one of my fav. film stars, so yes. I don't mean to negate your efforts, but please understand that these kind of posts, have indicated in the past, some off-the-wall, unfortunately misguided efforts that resulted in people being hurt I'm very cautious about any involvement with the "VAA", and rightly so. New folks should be aware of the fact that, if they become involved in any exJW 'movement' organization, they risk having their identity being revealed.
I don't 'know' who you are, but can't trust any anonymous person who is pushing activism. Too many innocent people have been burned in the past by joining the AAWA, and I do NOT trust this leadership. No offense intended. xx

Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil.
For I am the meanest sob in the valley.That's what your avatar reminds me of. Ack, the militant exJW movement. No thanks; you are not the 82nd Airborne. Your militant avatar and 'handle' says it all to me - "Danger Will Robinson, Danger! Angry, don't-know-what-they-are-doing, exJWs on the rampage".
No thanks. xx tal

Mark Twain quote " that the coldest winter he ever knew was a summer in San Francisco".
Not Mark Twain. It's also been attributed to Hemingway and several others. The origin is unknown, but may be Coleridge..
http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/30/coldest-winter/
When I first read this quote, many years ago, I thought it was a joke. Haha, a bit of damp, and it's such a hardship? ahaha, live in my city, further north, but with the same fog and weather types. San Fran, you are a bunch of soft kitties. : P

I was at the 1963 convention at Yankee Stadium, NYC. I was 5 YO. My mother had me on a leash, and I can remember baking in the bleachers at Yankee Stadium (bad memory). Also, the 'lead' speaker on Sunday - was a raving lunatic, scary to my 5YO sensibilities. Was it Franz or Knorr? My 5YO brain says "Knorr", but that was a long time ago.

Loyalty...When Is It Right or Wrong?

To the OP, BB. I instantly thought of the expression "loyal to a fault". That would describe one of my parents, and I've learned that sometimes it's good to examine who and what you are loyal to, and perhaps change that focus to another purpose. It's good to be faithful, loyal - it's a sign of a good friend. Once you find out that the object of your trust is false, it's time to let go of being loyal to them. xx tal
