Women are mens equals, so since I dont rise for men, I dont for women.

says it is by satanic design to untheocratically elevate the woman above the man.tipping your hat to a woman could possibly lead to improper advances.it sets a woman apart because of her sex.it is subtly disguised creature worship!.
more wisdom from the faithful slave.......

taming of a beast.
it was back in 1993, the last day of work before christmas.
70 of us were laid off that day (after 6 months notice), and left at lunch, never to go back.
Thanks all...
LDH, when I do, you know I will see you.

Well, the intent wasnt to resurrect it... I found it and sent the link to TJ, he wanted to know about me in chat the other nite. I figured this would give him an idea of some of it.
The changes in me dont ever end, nor does the fight to maintain them. It just gets easier, tho, with each hurdle beaten.

i just got my tax break refund in the mail today.
i am so excited.
having republicans in power is a good thing.
As with many people, I moved to where the work is, since work dried up in my old town. I havent missed a beat since, we are busy and working overtime.
Housing is way up here also, they cant keep up with mortgages and new home building. We have about 1500 people moving here per week, one of the fastest growing cities in the USA. Thats why so many illegal aliens flock here, there is so much work for them.
I only got $400, my kid turned 18 this year. I spent it on used car parts for my camaro, and those guys will spend it on something, etc etc.... so the money is in the system.
My 401K is growing again too, finally.
Are things perfect? Nope. Are they better? Yep. Does the news report that 95% of the USA population is working? No, just that 5% is not working.
you may recall the earlier accounts of my son-in-law's father, a lifelong jw, who was turned into the authorities for molesting a young girl.
nbc dateline was interested in the story and followed it for a time, but did not use it because the jw elders did not get involved.
the man's trial was postponed several times ... when caught he had lied to the police and then confessed to the police ... all admissible because the police dotted their "i's" and crossed their "t's" ... but, in a surprise move, he turned around and plead not guilty ... then in another turn around, he finally confessed in a plea bargain agreement.
Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle.

i know i probably go too far sometimes and can get a little 'determined' on some issues (my wife calls it pig headed & stubborn).
sometimes i am too blunt.
sometimes i won't let things go and want to prove my point.
Discussing any subject is a simple thing, it all depends on the words used. In a face to face situation, it is all in tone and body language. Online, we have neither.
When one disagrees with another, they can either say "How could you be such a moron" or "How can you be so stupid".... OR, they can be respectful and say "I disagree, here is how I think ..........". Simple, right? Nothing disrespectful, no haughtiness, and nothing rude about it. Simple disagreement.
As I see it, way too many people on this site (and many others) use thier posts to boost themselves in others eyes. Pointing out typos, for example, seems childish to me. Anyone that sees a typo but knows what word is meant will and should ignore it. Hell, I probly have typos in this post. Who cares, other than those "better" than us (in thier eyes).
As for the war issues, let me be blunt.....
Most people on this sight have no clue about politics due to thier being in the JW religion. The few that do understand how dirty politics are, and how the media sways peoples weak minds. Most of what I read on this site is extreme one way or the other, Conservative or Liberal. If it were me, I wouldnt let anyone use a JW/exJW site for a political soapbox.
As for why I dont do much here anymore, I dont need the constant reminder of what sucked in my life. I have had a small forum on my family site for years, and I hang there with a few from here and others not from here. We dont (generally) discuss how being a JW caused us to be what we are either. We just talk.
OK, I am done.

My two cents:
It wasnt the war issue the only thing that got me and others upset. It was the constant name calling, that went unchecked, while our comments were checked. Hell, one dude was tossed off here AFTER he said he was leaving... tossed because of his comment about simon on my own site. Seems awful wierd to me.
Apologies go both ways, it just depends on who starts the apology. I am owed none by simon, but I do think simon should consider handing a few out to others. So should Trauma Hound .... and others. Just saying "Y'all come on back" isnt an apology.

things my dad taught me.
children don't need encouragement or coaching - unspoken expectations and incredulousness and anger when they are not met are the way to go.. newspapers, national geographic magazines, and fraternal organizations are much more interesting and more worthy of a time investment than children are.. children are noisy nuisances.
keep reminding them of this by yelling whenever they make too much noise, accidentally get in your way, or otherwise annoy you or complicate your life.
Natural father taught me to hate n*ggars, chinks, Waps, gooks, and anyone else not WASPs. He also taught me to be spineless around JW women, and run, when I was 4.
Step/Adoptive father taught me all the ways of JWs... from beatings to verbal abuse to adultry as an elder.
Nice.
