  i've been lurking around these parts for a while and thought it was time to make a post, although one or two of you have come across me when i wandered into chat a few weeks back.

  just a quick intro: .

  i'm early 30's, was involved with the dubs since birth, but made the break when i was 18 to go to university (culture shock!).

  What is your Favorite Scene from a Movie?

  by Sweetp0985 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i thought about this topic last night for the board when watching one of my favorite movies.. 1. the man from snowy river- the part when they are going after the expensive colt and they get to the edge of the cliff and all the other riders stop and "jim" keeps going and leaps down the cliff after the wild horses.

  i absolutely love that part of the movie...everytime its on i have to watch it, if not just to see this part only.. 2. love and basketball- when she tells him she will play for his heart...awwww first time i started crying.

  and then the music they had playing in the background made it even worse.

  Love or respect, which do you want, are you settling for less?

  by Maverick in

  2. friends

  stinky pantz, who was truly missed, brought out an interesting point in asking the question about who loves us.

  after thinking about her question for a while i felt i could not answer it at all.

  i know who i love and how i feel about certain ones in my life, but i can not say with any true belief how others really feel about me.

  I reckon a healthy dollop of both is required - I wouldn't settle for either without the other...

  answers on a postage stamp... be gentle!!

  El Kabong:

  folding metal kind that would amplify the sound of a fart throughout the KH.

  I took great delight discovering that as a kid and made full use of it.

  LMAO!!!!

  Coolest thing I can remember about my old KH was the interest it generated when doing the quick build. We had dug the foundations etc, and it stayed like that for a few months. Billboards were put up advertising the quick build weekend, and the weekend before a passerby was heard saying "they'd better bloody well hurry up - they've only got the foundations and that's taken them months!"

  Sahs:

  Nobody (even worldly relatives) allowed to clink glasses at a wedding

  If I remember correctly, the origin of that one was from medieval times, when poison was primarily used for assassinations etc. All guests at a gathering would clink tankards, glasses etc vigorously, spilling a little of the contents into each vessel, as a sign that nothing was poisoned. As poisons came out of vogue, the clinking continued as a salutation between friends.

  Why aren't you allowed to do it ??? Dunno... it really is a stupid rule!!

  Gadzooks, here endeth the lesson methinks,

  Do All JW Children Suffer From Psychological Damage? The First Bit..

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ..and if so, what form does such psychological damage take?.

  my own experience is that damage does occur.. i was 8 years old when my parents became converted, so i wasn't exactly a totally white canvass on which my personality could be painted.

  but i was a light shade of grey, so the impact of wt teaching was still quite considerable.. i think the most damage that i suffered was in the area of guilt and unworthiness.

  Yay codeblue:

  If that company doesn't want to abide by the policies of the USA, they need to move out of the USA to a country where they can make their own rules.

  Pretty much how I feel, so long as they don't come over to England!

  I beg to differ La Capra

  The comments in the reporters interview from them was "The Koran forbids Muslims from eating pork."

  She was not muslim, therefore they were forceing their religious beliefs upon her.

  We have a society of political correctness, where every one and everything has to be tiptoed around, so as not to cause offence. I hope the judge throws the book at them and their intolerance - just like they'd be crying for if an employer only served pork in it's cafeteria!

  Bull!
