56dropped wife off at convention this morn...
by tetrapod.sapien ini just got back home from dropping my wife off at the convention this morning.
i took the day off of work so i could celebrate the occasion of freedom from mass-delusional-cult-think-programming.
out on the porch, sun shinning, birds chirping, scotch in one hand, demon haunted world in the other.. as i was driving my wife to the convention grounds, she thanked me for all the help i had provided her in getting ready for the convention, and for driving her.

We touch each other...
by MerryMagdalene in.
...in so many ways, some known to us, others remaining unknown and unrecognised, sometimes for years, sometimes forever.. so, my question is: would you rather know of the ways in which your presence effects others or would you prefer such things not be drawn to your attention?
recognition or anonymity?.

Hmmm, this is not something I worry much about in real life, but on this board I do sometimes worry how I am being perceived, especially when nobody replies to a post I've made! I feel invisible ...
JUST LOVE ME!!!

Pass the Jesus I need a hit!
by free2beme ini hate to say this, as there may be some here that fit this description, but people deep into jesus with all that saved talk and accepting jesus talk, look the same as the person trying to get me to take a hit on the bong.
these people seem stoned hard core and in la-la land of some fantasy and wonder why others don't want to ride the crazy train with them.
personally, i find these people to be almost alien to me, in that they seem so into their religion of "save" and "accept" this, that there is no reasoning or even discussing a different subject with them.

I agree, Jesus freaks suck. So do other fundamentalists - & much as I love Marx, I am including all my uni lecturers who are Marxists in this one!!! It's almost like some people just have to believe in SOMETHING, ANYTHING that gives the world some meaning or 'ultimate truth'. Go smoke a bong, I say!

a silly joke to share....
by PaulJ in.
mr tortoise is walking down the street when he is mugged by a gang of snails.. the police interview mr tortoise after the attack and ask him if he could describe his assailants.. "im afraid not" said mr tortoise, "it all happened so fast............".
its old and silly, but it still makes me laugh....

I don't know whether it has been cancelled, but it is showing in Australia this week! Yes, that's right, we get US ripoffs of Brit shows on commercial tv, after our public broadcaster has shown all of the original series that most people missed!!!
A US version of Fawlty Towers?!! How can you improve on perfection? How can you even try to imitate perfection?!!

Hi Crumpet, (((hugs))) for you
EF's zen-like calm will help for a broader approach re jealousy in general, but I also agree with Katie that you've got to get this specific problem under control - the clothes/car thing is
ODD

Does being a JW make a person physically sick?
by Gill indefinitely mentally and more than likely physically.. i have read on a few posts and freeminds about an increase of mental illness amoungst jws of between 2 and 40 % and it seems understandable considering the amount of stress being in the borg puts on people.. but what about physically?.
what are your experiences since leaving the borg?.
do you feel well and fitter than ever before?.

Gill, I love your expression 'are you poorly?' My family is from England & they say that, too. Just gorgeous!
Umm, I don't really have anything else to add ...
