Do I suck?

i mean, how would you really know if you do, in fact, suck as a poster?

would it be because when you post all the sudden there can be no more submissions?

can you kill the thread killer thread?.

you know your thread sucks when more than 50% of the replies are of your own writing. happens to me... :/

man, we do suck.

Idea on what we can do with all our old meeting clothes....

by avishai in

jw
friends

they used to have a donation place where i live that gave low income women business attire for job interviews, why they did'nt have one for men i dunno.

they're no longer around, but i'd like to start a non-profit w/ clothes, etc.

for low income, homeless etc.

i was walking in the mall not too long after deciding i was never going back to the kingdom hall. i was literally shocked by my reflection. i even waved my hand to make sure it was me. holy mother of pearl! i looked like an old woman! my instinct was to burn all of my jw wardrobe...*note to self, always go with gut feeling.

this is what i did. (after buying a hot outfit of course)

i invited over jehovah's witness sisters i was close to and layed out my pretty, modest jw outfits everywhere. they were free for the taking...those jw ladies scooped em up like it was a day after valentine's candy sale.

"who care's if she's an apostate...i got this great outfit!"

now i realized i made a mistake.

when you become a jw you don't give your crosses and pictures on velvet of jesus to catholic friends...you BURN them!

*sigh* i guess i just needed to get rid of them quickly because they had kingdom hall cooties.

but, then i was left with one new skanky apostate outfit and a closet of "mowing the kingdom hall lawn" attire

Then the repsective people would have to change their avatar for one month, the Apostate of the Month gets some cool ass Superman Logo, and the Jackass of the month gets...a...half of a horse...for a month.
Oh yea...do I suck as a poster? I can take it, really.

u don't suck. i don't think. i need to do research to see if u suck. if u do. i'll let u know. my guess is u might suck occasionally, but mostly u don't. would there be a category for that? half sucking? like half a horse with a lightbulb out of it's end or something? oh wait, i think i've seen that.

i will say that i suck. and i suck as a poster. and as a jwd poster. i had adopted the adage "better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass" but, i've changed my mind...at times a dumb ass is more desirable, because who likes a smart ass?, a dumb ass people can feel sorry for and say they suck in a dumb ass kinda way.

so, do you see my post? yeah, it sucked. generally i'm of the "lead balloon" category. read a few words...skip. or read a few words...huh? my last post didn't suck, cuz people were nice, real, real nice. so to all those people who were nice to me...i vote them as non-sucking. and they get superman outfits.

i'll be doing my suck/don't suck research and check back in.

Do all men cheat?

by Save My Soul in

jw
friends

a friend (someone i respected a great deal / mentor) at my job has shared some information with me.

he cheats on his wife.

wow!!.

Magick

now that i'm less naive than i used to be, i realize that it's not a male/female issue...it's a human issue. we all have the capacity to "cheat," but, not all do.

if a guy (or girl) in a relationship is having sex outside of it...who is he having it with and why?

cheating is beyond the animalistic desire for lusty sex...there's a lot of emotional issues involved.

if two people are emotionally connected, whether they are dating, living together, married, straight or gay...they are less likely to cheat.

i don't know if it is the same everywhere, but where i live cheating is very common. especially at work. hospitals & schools seem to bring people emotionally together and that can lead to the opportunity to cheat. woman know exactly what they are doing and men usually don't refuse.

if the guy (or girl) is a jerk/slut...then there are no "reasons" involved, just selfish gain.

however, regular, good, decent people cheat. this can because of the emotional factors of needing to feel appreciated or loved. or maybe they feel justified in cheating because they've been "cheated on" ...then there is the low self-esteem issue.

so, my long winded answer would be...no, not all men & women cheat. many do, but not all.

it takes two emotionally healthy & mature people who care about themselves and their partner enough not to.

So far, this Jehovah's Witness (Gary Alt) has compiled Three CDs especially (exclusively?) for other Jehovah's Witnesses and their children to purchase over the internet for $13.50 each.

They include songs like Brooklyn Bound, Marching to the New World, When We're In Jehovah's Paradise, I'm Gonna Be On Time and Pray It Away.

I have had many privileges in Jehovah’s service over the years, not the least of which was playing the piano for the Brooklyn Bethel family in the early 1980s. Making these CDs certainly does NOT rank with congregation privileges, working unassigned Territory, or visiting a dear brother or sister in the hospital. But if you’re encouraged by them, it comes pretty close. -Gary Alt

One of the worst songs on the CD (IMO) is:

I’m Gonna Be On Time

I’m tryin’, tryin’ to get ready now
I’m flyin’, I’ll be on time somehow
Momma says five minutes to go
We must be out that door and on the highway
The meeting’s just about to start
And your daddy has a part and he’s workin’ on timing

Remember, remember your service report
September, is especially important
Daddy says it’s time to go
Let’s get out that door, we don’t have forever
The meeting is soon to begin
And we should all be in our seats together

I’m gonna be on time
I’m not gonna fall behind, behind the eight-ball
I’m gonna be on time
I’ll feel better when I’m in the Kingdom Hall

I’m movin’, movin’ so I’ll be there
Including the opening song and prayer
Jehovah says “Come to my house,
Come on in ‘cause now’s the time to take truth in”
The meeting will soon have to end
And I will be content when it’s concluding

next is this one:

Brooklyn Bound

Packing my bags I’m moving on out for a greater need
I won’t look back and think of what might have been
Yes I’m travelling eastward going to Bethel to serve
And I’m using my strength before old age throws me a curve

I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound
And I’m giving my youth to Jehovah to use
I’m Brooklyn bound
My whole heart, my whole mind, my whole strength, my whole force, my whole soul
I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound

Work my way downtown cross the East River by the Brooklyn Bridge
Wake up next morning ready for my privilege
If the factory calls me I will be ready with bells on
Or construction or laundry I will cross that Rubicon

here's a review of the CD by a 6 year old:

I like the CD very much.

I like the CD very much. My favorite song is about the resurrection because I can’t wait to meet my papa’s grandma.

greetings from the other side of the street,.

i just loved having you guys proselytizing on the other side of the street when we were tracting.

i am a recovering mormon with a believing spouse / family.

Magick

WELCOME!

I don't know much about mormons except the little I learned as a witness on the inaccuracies of their book of mormon compared to the bible. and...locally we have more than our share of (cute young boys on bikes)...i have witnessed (pardon the pun) those cute mormon boys at the internet room searching "fast cars" "nakid women" and "asian cartoon porn" it was then i realized they were just people like me.

here's an interesting article i found on the web. don't know how accurate it is...what do you think?
