  yesterday morning was my bookstudy.

  but i had a runway show to do that night (i think i have mentioned before that i have been pursuing modeling) and so of course i had to skip out.

  my parents go to a differ bookstudy than me but in the same hall and so they were able to notice that i was not there.

  when I was 22, living in my parents home and having everything provided to me, (yeah, "princess" alright,) I was told I'd have 3 weeks to get out. I was out in a little less than two, with a new job and and apartment, in a different town. It took every penny I had to get into the place, but it was mine. You can do it, don't be a cop out and move in with the BF, expecting someone else to take care of you again. Grow some cojones (the fake kind for us girls. *wink*) Use this to your advantage and be a woman. Oh yeah, and what LDH said. Good advice LDH!

  Is This Kind of Behavior at a Concert Acceptable?? Need Your Opinions.

  yesterday i attended a music festival.

  ten hours long, maybe a dozen or so acts.

  when the next to the last act appeared, james mcmurtry, the son of writer larry mcmurtry and a hell of a songwriter/musician, his fans were invited to "dance in front of the stage and in the aisles.

  The one good thing about concerts performed in classical venues, the ushers will make you behave so others can enjoy the show. LOL!
  so... if I'm reading this right, your real complaint is that there was no consideration shown for the people who were seated, watching the show at a venue where the tickets being sold were for a seated affair. Rather, these dopes just danced in the seats and in front of the stage, right in front of the view. If I read that right, I don't think you're over-reacting. They were totally rude. They could have danced at the edges of the tent or the side of the stage, and you still would have been able to see and enjoy the show.

  Could have been assembly week, and the main meeting was cancelled? Only the bookstudy from another congregation meeting there that night?

  CULT CULT CULT

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have read many opinions about jw's being a cult.a dictionary describes cult as a system of religious beliefs and ritual .. some have viewed even major religions as a cult, such as the roman catholic church.based upon webster almost anybody or anything that is viewed as ritualistic could be said to be cultic.when someone tries to negate jehovah's witnesses by using.

  the "cult" word, i believe they are not seeing that many others could legitimately be regarded as a cult or at least "cultic".therefore the word loses alot of meaning.

  some have said that the watchtower is a cult because of the control factor.

  I guess this 4 y.o. thread puts to rest the question of whether farkel/minimus/et al, have changed over the last four years. hehe.

  ok, first off, let me make it clear that i'm no baptized jehovah's witness.

  i studied for about 2 1/2 years, and was a publisher for about half the time.

  i don't attend meetings, because..well.... i haven't yet summoned enough courage to ask forgiveness for my many wrong-doings.

  And by the way, you are extremely rude and disrespectful, and owe Blondie an apology. She is trying to help you, even though your decision is poorly thought out, ill-advised, and clearly unsupported by the people who love you.

  Make one. The legality is in the witnessed signature, not the fact that it is printed on watchtower paper.

  Comments You Will Not Hear at the 6-4-06 WT Study (SHEPHERDS)

  (b) how does jehovah feel about appointed shepherds?.

  (luke 22:55-60; 24:34; john 18:25-27; 21:114) did jesus reprimand the repentant peter for his lack of faith?

  " (john 21:15-17) as the bible account of the history of the first-century christian congregation shows, jesus' confidence in peter was not misplaced.

  blegh to the Mrs Elder who is thankful her husband spends his "spare time" with her. What a priority she is that she gets sloppy seconds and is GRATEFUL for it.
  Elders crying over you... yeah, we had one, he LET HIMSELF INTO MY HOUSE SO THE PIONEERS COULD USE THE BATHROOM, then stood in the entryway and cried his crocodile tears over the fact that I wouldn't come to the Kingdom Hall. Of course, I had been gone at least 6 months, and there was the pesky need to take a break and potty somewhere...
  Thanks for posting yet another vomit worthy, controlling article from the "Mother." *puke*blegh*ptoooie*

  Who has Tattoos?

  by Good Girl or Bad Girl? in

  hey y'all,.

  how many of you have tattoos, and if so what are they?

  what is the meaning, if any, behind them?

  People who choose their tats carefully, and get good quality work done by real tattoo artists rarely regret having done it. Those "most" statistics include people who get stuff done on them by their friends with a home kit, those who do their own with a hot needle and india ink, prison tats, whims and drunk tats. Yeah. LOTS of people regret those.
  
  After thinking about it for YEARS, I finally got one on my right calf. It's a branch of pink dogwood flowers, and I love it!
