Is a JW "discount" legal?
by Open mind indragon lady's thread on do-it-yourself lemonade got me thinking about the dubs and "pioneer discounts" and such.
my first thought was, what if an ex-jw had a business that included a "jw surcharge"?
of course, the dubs wouldn't go, but some folks might patronize them for their anti-jw stance.

WHO WAS THIS POSTER? Help please!
by Open mind inwhen i stumble across someone's long life story or a really good sounding long thread, i often cut and paste it into my nerdy little pda for later reading at the kingdom hell.. well, i did that for a life story from a poster who signed off as "dave" but i blew it and didn't get his username or the url for the thread.
his life story in a nutshell centered around a 2 week trip he made to bethell to work as a consultant for the art/graphics department back in the 80's.
it really woke him up and he subsequently left the dubs.

Damaging property and driveways in Field Service. The good old days.
by Open mind injust got done reading b_deserter's partial life story and it sent me drifting down memory lane.
this is a long, rambly story, so if you're not in the mood, i'd recommend clicking on another thread.. did you happen to grow up in "god's country?
" you know, a rural or semi-rural part of the country that is far superior morally to the "sin den" i moved to, california?

If you ain't a PIONEER, You ain't SH**!!!
by Open mind inmy loyal-dub wife had a wonderful morning knocking on empty homes earlier this week.
last night she confided in me with an observation.
she has noticed what she perceives to be a "pioneer clique" in our congregation.

Bethel Art Dept: Are They More Liberal/Free Thinking?
by Open mind ini recently saw the cover of an new watchtower on "spirituality".
it was very appealing to me visually.
it's got this beautiful woman sitting next to a stream and she's wearing some flowing wrap over her clothes.

Kudos to the Christians/Believers on JWD. (seriously)
by Open mind infirst off i'd like to say that the title of this thread is not tongue-in-cheek.
i remember a thread from ak-jeff a couple months ago where he observed how some posters develop a condescending attitude towards christians and how that made him feel like he didn't really fit in here.
i'm sure that may have come across (unintentionally) in some of my recent threads where i've related my arrival at agnosticism/atheism.
