SAD
by Cthulhu ini'm sure we are all aware of the condition known as sad (seasonal affected depression).
generally, for those who aren't familiar with it, this means that due, largely in part, to the lack of sunlight during the winter months, people experience feelings of depression.
however, i am curious as to whether you may have observed something similar, but rather opposite, and i would appreciate your input.

Watchtower Facebook Page Part 2
by treadnh2o inthe last thread turned into an apostate war which i found highly entertaining and did not want to hijack the direction it is going in.. however, what has completely tickled my fancy is the fact that almost 20,000 jw's are publicly thumbing their nose at the g.b.
counsel about these social sites.
these members have somehow justified in their minds their being there.

My story on ex-JW blog radio program...
by brizzzy inkinda cool, was asked by sacha wilharn (ex-jw and author of new book "no part of their world", about her abuse by her bethelite husband and escape from the borg) to share my story on "keepin it real", a blog radio program she hosts for ex-jws.
couldn't call in because i'm not getting cell service here in the uk, but i answered her questions via email.
thought they would just pick a few of them, but they read the whole thing and talked about my backstory for about 40 minutes!

Conan sketch with giant Watchtower
by JimmyPage induring conan o'brien's finale he showed a quick string of clips from the past year on his show.
one of them looked like two jws on stilts holding a gigantic watchtower.
i never saw this sketch the first time it aired and i haven't been able to find it on youtube.

did you like being called "brother" or "sister"?
by highdose ini always found it very patronising, particulay as most of the jw's who did that treated me very badly and not like a sister at all!.
i also hated when brothers would say " i've met a lovely sister and i'm planning to marry her!
" sounds so incestuous!

No gorillas in paradise!
by TJ - iAmCleared2Land infunny thought this morning, while seeing the movie trailer for robin williams and john travolta's new flick, old dogs.
in the movie, they accidentally end up in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo while trying to rescue a child who is stuck in the zoo after hours.
the trailer shows one of the men being cradled in the arms of the seated gorilla--the actor's "singing" soothes the gorilla.. it occurred to me then that the paradise pictures by the society always have lions and cheetahs and elephants... but no gorillas that i remember!!
