...if the WTBTS Banned Liquor...
by BabaYaga inthere are those who had perfectly acceptable blood-transfusions way back when, and those who smoked before that ban.
things that were once fine become verboten.
of course them banning liquor is particularly difficult to imagine, as all of the in-depth accounts of bethel depict bethelites imbibing like crazy.

STOP THE MADNESS....where is this board going?
by SnakesInTheTower ini've only posted since feb 07..but i have lurked for several years prior and there was usually something interesting on the board.
as i was reading the active topics list this morning, only a couple things jumped out at me as interesting...its been this way since the dgate and tgate incidents.... i was discussing this with a long time poster via im yesterday....does it seem to anyone else that so many of the topics are ...i dont know....odd...or different than they used to be...and i dont mean that in a good way.. i miss the newbies coming on and telling us their stories.... i miss the long time posters updating us on their lives post-borg... i guess with the recent uproar, the lurkers are hesitant to become newbies (cant say as i blame them now...we probably scared them off , and maybe the vets are just as hesitant...after all, someone went 2 years with their fraud/hoax...who will believe anyone else now?
i hope this is just a temporary cycle on this board..i have read many many posts from the archives...i hope one day soon we can get back to a happy medium here.. by the way, i like the fluff threads, but these seem to be more and more sex related (maybe that word will wake someone)... yet they get all the attention....and then someone goes too far and it gets locked down by a mod and the poster restricted......(i am not a prude...just sometimes enough is enough).

one word to describe me
by Hortensia ini thought crumpet's thread was really interesting and that everyone was really supportive in their answers.
then i thought about what words would describe me - i imagine lots of folks thought that.
i used to have in my profile "short fat ugly old and mean" which was a joke but offended someone...currently i would described myself as tired and a little crabby and inclined to be unsympathetic, which was always my husband's complaint about me anyway.

What have you Learned?
by KW13 inhow easy would it be for us all to remain angry all our lives?.
the us that could of been was destroyed before it had a chance to grow, mature and instead was destroyed by the watchtower society.
instead of having a whole life to look back on, many years have been tainted and the so called knowledge we were proud to be the owners of does nothing to help us in the real world.

What can we learn from the recent upheavals on the board
by Lady Lee ini had this this in my head and even had it typed out but didn't post it but i see some still need to talk about the trevor saga on the board.. i was reading some of the initial threads where many people posted how they felt about what trevor had done.
people used the words; anger, shock, disbelief, hurt, sickened, duped, suckered, creeped out, confused, stupid, and betrayed.. given the situation those are all perfectly normal responses.
it isn't easy when we find out we have been lied to.

Are You Angry That You Didn't Get To Celebrate The Holidays?
by minimus inbut now, holidays are important to me.
i think birthdays and xmas are important ones to make sure that you give and get gifts.
perhaps it's because i never experienced the "joy of the holidays".
