i can't believe i'm starting a thread on this after four years of participating on jw discussion boards.
lately there seems to be a band of posters who believe that all opinions must be respected (wtf?).
they believe that any type of criticism or alternate viewpoints constitute an 'attack'.
F# # # K
LOL. I didn't even catch that. Could be like a scream... F **& K YOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!
As for the topic, I'm not thin skinned. I love to have a good fight. You just have to learn to separate reality from the web. Choose the fights carefully.

A second sooner and you would have seen the pants that I threw into the crowd.

when we were witnesses, we didn't worry much about the quality of our lives.
we were concerned for our survival, and for the survival of our loved one's, but we didn't pay much attention to our own personal happiness, believing that our desires for material things and delights were satanic in origin.. things are different now though!
after i departed the jw's it took me many years to appreciate that being in a loving relationship with a special person, is not, in itself, enough, whether that "special person" is our god or our lover, and that there was much more required in our lives before we can feel a sense of contentment.
..And if that is so, that a spiritual quest is nowhere near enough to satisfy our need for life quality, what else do most of us need as well, so as to have a good Quality of Life?
Part one is finding someone to spend you life with. For me, I found the girl of my dreams and married her. I think she is the only person who has every truly understood me.
Part two is finding a niche, a little house with a garden that is yours, just a spot to call your own, where you can plan a future, or enjoy what you've earned.
Part three is being satisfied with your job/career. This can cause a lot of unhappiness of you don't take care of it.
Part four is our health. If we don't have that....
I think the final part is holding on to a few of our greatest aspirations, keep hope alive that someday we can write that book, run that marathon, have the children, grandchildren.
That's what I'm shooting for.

i will be backing former vermont gov howard dean to run in '04.
my reason: clinton was quoted recently as saying that "strong and wrong always beats weak and right".
i remember during the run up to election in 2000 watching the bush vs. gore debates and thinking..i know gore is smarter but he comes across as weaker in debate.
Bush will be there through 08, stop deluding yourself and THANK GOD Bush is in now.
LOL. If he does there might be mass suicides. I don't think the majority of non-southern people can stand him for one minute longer than his four years.

who cares? They all have the same agenda, they all work for the same people.
I agree with you, but I'm happy if they just don't happen to piss off the world with their policeman's attitude. No one could be as bad as Bush.
I would love to see a smart, none-too-wealthy grassroots president get in there and make some real changes, but that is unlikely. No one but the scrubs can afford it.

i just got this from an active jw friend who i have not seen in 3 years and rarely talk too via e-mail.
keep in mind i was never dunked and left almost 7 years ago.
the elders went and saw my df'd sister last week after 10+ years.
Sounds to me as if this sister is just lookin for something to gossip about.
Damn strait. I was thinking the same thing. This person doesn't care, they just want to be 'in the know', so that they have something to rag on.
