  i was in nassau sitting on the beach, sipping a 151 pina colada, watching the jet-ski guy, all toned and tanned.

  i remember thinking, he's got the coolest job in the world ... sittting on the beach all day, renting & teaching drunk & horny tourists how to ride them.

  that's my fantasy .... i wanna be the jet-ski guy.

  What if it got scary?

  by Taylor S. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the lovely jbeanz brought up the peoples temple in the my book of bible stories thread.

  the jonestown tragedy ... images of which i'll never get out of my head.

  then in other threads we've talked about mounting scandels of the jw's, losing young believers, older members having doubts, doctinal switcheroos, the ever-increasing threat of the internet .... .... it all makes me wonder: .

  My Book of Bible Stories

  by Taylor S. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).

  at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.

  then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.

  What would God say?

  by Taylor S. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  coffee makes my mind wander.

  this morning after reading some threads, i thought ... how could god logically expect man to grow closer to him as time keeps rolling further and further away from the miracles of old.. haven't seen a burning bush or nothing in a hot minute.

  i mean, those are the things that kept people's attention.

  A JWD / Knowledge Jones ...

  by Taylor S. in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've been thinking about it in my sleep ... can sleep.

  it's been less than a month since i stumbled onto this site while researching the roots of jwism for a character i'm writing on.

  since then, i haven't written anything, haven't done much recreationally .... i've just been digging deeper through this site and simultaneously .... digging through my memories of growing up dub.
