MisterBiggs,
Thanks for the post.
You should also know, there is some guy going around pretending to be you. He calls himself Mister8iggs; an obvious swipe at you. Were I you, I wouldn't stand for it.
Hmmm
i knew it!!!
the article is lengthy but june brown, a retired legal secretary from atlanta and veteran salvation army relief volunteer, said this about jw's:.
"a lot of people don't like it when they grab you by the collar," brown said.

at about 6:30 this evening my mother passed away.. .
the best mother and the best wife anybody could ever be blessed with.
she was not only my mother, she was my friend.
Ummmmm, I meant you're well on your way to being half as loved, NOT well on your way to growing old and dying.
Well... I guess you're on your way to growing old, we all are, but... on never mind! I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

One day I will grow old and die. And when I do, if I am half as loved as she is, then I will die with a smile on my face.
Judging by the response to this thread, you're well on your way.
Hmmm
someone named me meme sent this email...do what you will with it.

i mean, which would they prefer to form a committee for? asking a young woman, whether she was wearing a thong and did she enjoy it? or a boring "how much money did you spend on slot machines" question.
"Were you wearing a thong while playing the slots?"
They use the "greed", "god of good luck", and "cast lots over Jesus' cloak" reasoning to poo-poo gambling. It doesn't seem to be a high priority, but my understanding is that even one visit to a den of gambling could get you in hot water.
Hmmm
how many of you out there remember the cbs 60 minutes program several years ago when correspondent leslie stahl examined the jw child custody issues?
it may well have provided a clue as to how the upcoming dateline segement will play out.
predictably, the society emerged with something of a black eye, especially because of its cowardly refusal to produce even one gb or bethel bigshot spokesman to defend its duplicitous policies.
I remember that piece.
She brought up the question of whether JW kids were allowed to associate with non-JW kids. The lawyer "spokesman" said something like 'well, if you were a dentist, you would mostly associate with other dentists, and your children would play with their children...'
She looked at him and said (paraphrasing) 'You don't expect me to buy that explanation, do you?'
At the time I was still strongly indoctrinated. His response sounded very reasonable, and I wanted to sock her in the mouth for such blatantly biased coverage.
Hmmm
[Edited to combat my comma fetish]
and rude and cheap and funny!.

Ah yes, I see it. Behind the back row... that's not a proper slip knot!!!
OK I think I got it.
About 1/3 through, there's a guy talking on a phone by the side of a pool. Behind him is a go-go cabana boy dancing. Is that you?
Hmmm
ok, here is my situation.
i have been talking with someone on the phone and i am very interested in this person.
i have only been talking to them about 4 or 5 days, and when i was talking to them last night or about 3 hours and at one point, just talking to them gave me that sensation, like you get after you kiss someone for the first time.
And what the heck how do you get the tingles from just talking to someone???
stop bringing the cordless phone with you into the shower!
i must say that as a neutral scientific observer of this site--it seems that things are kind of one-sided here.
i thought this was a board with both devout jws and ex-jws on it.
on further reflection it appears that this medium of communication should probably be called ex-jw.com.
EU,
You're starting to slip in to your old habit of referring to yourself in the third person. Careful, or you'll start throwing "phoneme" around and your cover will be blown.
If you think you're making some sort of grand point... great! Just don't try to pass yourself off in any way as an impartial observer.
Hmmm

what the hell?.
i just finished watching mulholland drive (for the third time this weekend) and my head hurts.
I find it hilarious that a latina sees a Maori actor and mistakes him for Mexican.
BTW, I went to school with one of the people on the panel (he isn't quoted in the article.)

Besides, they wanted to make their clone army from Fett's DNA because they thought he was the ultimate fighting specimen. So IF this ditz thought he was supposed to be Mexican, wouldn't that be a compliment?
