  Frugal Ideas for a Beautiful but Inexpensive Wedding!

  by StAnn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i've proclaimed so loudly, my oldest son is getting married next year.

  we have a small budget (about $5k) and they want a wedding with three bridesmaids, three groomsmen, and a catered reception.

  thus far, my son is going to load his ipod with music.

  Anti-semitism & JW's

  i'm not surprised @ a lot of the anti-semitic, or borderline anti-semitic statements on this site lately, as the jw's bash the jews almost as bad as the catholics, so that is part of our basic programming being raised jw.

  also, if you look at there publications, the "bad jews" i.e.

  saducees & pharisees have your typical hooknose, hitlerian "dirty jew" look about them, while jesus & friends usuallly look aryan.

  Bullshit. Look @ JJrizzo's post, etc. "I don't hate jews, I just hate zionists, blah blah blah." Then you find out that they're total bigots, google Jim an joe rizoli, see what you find. And it's not just them.

  Here's a good place to start.

  Once again, the whole discussion is rearing it's ugly head. Why the hardon against Israel? Yes, I know, many on here have problems w/ the state of Israel. I do too, but it's often mixed in w/ judaism. If Israel were a theocracy, i'd understand. Yes, there are religious influences there, as there are here. I'm not a fan of those either, but geez louise, there's other countries where religion IS the state. And used like a club.

  did you simply ignore them, or did you try to "help" them with magazines while witnessing in the streets?.

  Hell, in NV we used to go to the "bunny ranches" to leave the mags all the time, as most of them live there. At 17, it was sure embarassing.

  BANE Does Not Represent Us Vegans

  by Blue Grass in

  2. friends

  as a vegan i'm embarrassed to have anything in common with jwn's newest asshole bane.

  us vegans are typically passive and very hippie like and do not start fights for no reason.

  i would like to reach out to my fellow vegan and ask him what is he doing here.

  I'm vegan too. All that means is i hate seeing animals suffer and i love the environment.

  Hippies aren't necessarily passive or nonviolent. Neither are Vegans. Neither is a cohesive "movement" or religion. All Vegan means is that you don't eat any animal products, period. Vegans can be violent, environmentally destructive assholes too. And lots of hunters I know are some of the biggest environmentalists around.

  Look, I understand what you are trying to say Bluegrass, but to pigeonhole yourself, and then be ashamed because someone happens to share the same diet is pretty silly. Jerks come in all genders, shapes, sizes and colors.

  If you feel like it's gonna continue, this worked wonders for me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Method. It's 80-90% effective, compared to 5-15 for other methods. Regardless, congrats on one year, and don't beat yourself up. This method I was able to use w/ out shame, withdrawl, hassle, judgement, or having to sit w/ a bunch of people talking about god.
