Boobquake!
by behemot inquaking in their boobsfacebook effort pokes fun at iranian imamif the immodest women of the western world have anything to do with it, there should have been a whole lotta shakin going on yesterday.. boobquake - a global effort to induce earthquakes by exposing flesh - is catching on here and elsewhere, as hundreds of thousands of women exult in the mystical powers an iranian imam has attributed to their cleavage.. imam hojatoleslam kazem sedighi reportedly said last week: many women who do not dress modestly .
lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes.. that prompted a piqued purdue university senior, jennifer mccreight, to declare yesterday the first international boobquake, with a facebook page that had more than 207,000 fans as of last night.
mccreight implored women to flesh it up in one 24-hour period to see if a concerted sporting of racy outfits could cause earthquakes.. mccreight says on her page: with the power of our scandalous bodies combined, we should surely produce an earthquake.

Forced to commit adultery, how?
by dgp ini read somewhere that the wt holds that a person who refuses to have sex with the spouse is somehow "forcing" the spouse to commit adultery.
i consider this ridiculous, but, in the interest of learning more, may someone explain this to me?.
would the spouse thus "forced" be disfellowshipped?

Stayed up all night, see it is a cult now.
by gutted ini really needed to find a place to write this as i don't believe i can talk with anyone else about my account, perhaps it is similar to a lot of yours.. last night for whatever reason i said i would go online and look up information on jws.
i have been raised as a jw all my life and baptized the last few years.
i looked at www.freeminds.org and www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com and couldn't believe how easily the whole of my lifes teachings were refuted.. i can't stop my brain from running, bs just in regards to theology alone (1914, paradise earth, celebrations etc.

I had to hurt my kids this weekend... it sucks
by Aussie Oz ini have been in a world of pain this weekend.. some of you know the ongoing battle i have had with my ex wife, an uber dub hypocrite, over seeing my kids more.
3 weeks ago i managed to secure an agreement from her that provided my 13 yr old daughter friday night to sunday afternoons and for my 16 yr old son to have friday night to sat afternoon with the option to extend it to sunday if he so desires.
this is each second weekend.. first due weekend visit she rearranged the days so that she was technically pre agreement start date.

You ever drive to the meeting, or field service meeting point, and do a U-Turn and go back home?
by miseryloveselders ini did this today.
last night, the pretty little weather girl stated there would "be heavy rain marked by occasional thunderstorms.
" i thought to myself, great, hopefully its so bad when i awaken, anybody originally planning on going out, will just stay home.
