now i'm not going all girly or anything but kissing is still great!
if my wife is, for example, preparing a meal i might be able to kiss her on the side of the neck while she's peeling the potato's.
i know what you're thinking, 'that nic's a smooth ol' romatic operator'!.
There's a scene in Boston Legal where Tara is tantalizing Alan Shore with "Christmas Eve"
It’s not the part where the lips actually touch; it’s the part just before that . . . when they’re so close. When you know it’s about to happen. You can almost feel it,
taste it—I like that bit to last forever. Don’t you just love to make it last forever?
yeah. like that.
i just read the mary/gumby where are they thread.
i want to say right from the start that i like gumball very much.
i've talked by phone to him in the past and we've had some discussions here over the years.
Bullshit.....I'll spill the beans on ya fer a mere buck fifty with no tax.
cheapskates everywhere cozy up to Mary...
so it appears that many local pbs affiliates are refusing to air knocking according to an email i got this morning from the producers.
he beseeched jws to call their local station and ask for it to be aired because "other programming directors might get a skewed impression that the community does not want to see knocking, based on only receiving negative calls and letters about jehovahs witnesses.
they may have never heard from actual jehovahs witnesses.
3:30 through that preview, Seth's mother says that if her son took blood and got his liver transplant, she would "still love him" and he "is still our son." How misleading is that since she may still love him, but would she also shun him if he had a transfusion? It seems apparent from this that he is living at home and dependent on his parents for care. Does he truly have a choice? Or is his stand against accepting blood partially motivated by immediate self-preservation? (As in, he can survive in the "now" -with the direct support of his family and the congregation - only if he remains a loyal JW.) Apparently he did find someone to do the surgery without blood, which is good. But the delusion that he really has a "choice" in the matter is misleading to the viewers of this video.
I also find it strange that this Joel Engardio (sp) who produced/directed the documentary is embraced by this community, in spite of having been raised as a JW, but not accepting it. It seems that the JWs should take issue with his lack of committment to the "truth."
In spite of my negative feelings toward this production, it is likely that I will view it, given the opportunity. I'd like to see the extras and commentary, even though the program appears to be a severely biased "puff piece" for JWs.

i love the labels 'persecutors' and 'apostate'.
this poor kid is already controlled..
I don't get it. I thought the butt-slappy and field-humping was funny though, especially with those little towers on their shirts.
i recently remembered this jw rumor that went circulating around when i was younger.
two sisters call on a door in service and is confronted by an obviously demon possessed individual.
(the details always changed, floating lamps, speaking in tongues, the usual folklore) sensing a disturbance in the force the younger sister leaves but the older pioneer sister stays determined to give her witness.
LMAO! I had forgotten about that one!

found this on another board.
it's about 10 minutes...and o so sickening!.
Well, the same account uploaded this gem...
that's revolting.
it was the 14th of april last year that i had to sit my mother down and tell her i was an apostate.. i was closer to her than anyone else.
my father and mother are still married, but he let her raise me as a witness, and that meant it was me and mom.. me and mom in field service for 100 hours in july because she had to make her time as a regular pioneer.. me and mom fighting over what to bring for lunch to the district convention.. me and mom up late at night, when she would berate me, and then unload all her problems on to me.. me and mom and our 4 hour family studies, where we discuss 2 paragraphs of a random book, and then she would browbeat me until early in the morning.. somehow, through all that, i pretended to be a witness for years, just to appease her.
looking back, i don't know if i loved her, or if i was just afraid of her.
I'm sorry Richie. What a shame.
the heart and soul of doublespeak is euphemistic references.
i think many jws are not aware of how often they do this.
since leaving slightly over a year ago, i have discovered many that i had not even been aware that i used.
looks like i am not on their "do-not-call" list anymore!!
mwa ha ha ha!!!
i bet they are going to have to rewrite the reasoning book now~!
Fun conversation. I doubt they will come back, but you can be sure this "householder" will stick in their minds for quite awhile.
she lives thousands of miles away from me, and called me now to tell me how much she loves me and misses me, and she started crying, and could hardly get out the words, about the wt study for tomorrow.
she begged me to go to the meeting and hear the information, so i compromised with her and told her i would get a copy of the magazine and read it.. i felt so badly for her.
we were always very close, and her daughter, my late cousin sharon, who died in 2001, was my closest friend in my life.
Seems this new magazine has quite a few worked up. My mother wrote me a "why" letter this week, complete with the obligatory "this world is on a downhill road to destruction" and "you know better!". I'm thinking about posting it and my response, although I don't know why or what good it will do. Stupid watchtower.
