hi, folks.

i know nytelecom works nearby (across the river?

), but i can tell you all that today has been (and will continue to be for a loooong time) the single most bizarre, surreal event i have witnessed.. i work in an office building at 26 broadway in manhattan, about 10 blocks from the world trade towers.

(((Michael and NYT)))

I am so glad to hear you are both ok after being so close to such a tragedy. There is much sadness for so many over there today. We will be thinking of you all.

I'm calm now

Hello everyone, woke up this morning with so many coming out of their hiding place.

Actually many have said that I've been away so guess thats why I haven't seen anyone.

Hello mommy, thanks for noticing the name change. Have had a few comments.

"I have a new addiction, internet porn" many a true word said in jest huh Kids slept over grandma's last night but will be back later, so we'll organise it. Welcome back.

Don't know you Ken P., hello.

MacHislopp...hope you enjoyed your break. Welcome back. (next August? If thats to me, sorry I have no idea what it means)

((((((((Tina))))))))))) There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you. Hope you had a good time 'away'. Welcome back.

Hey joelbear...you can ride who ever you want, hope you had a good time. Welcome back. hugs to you too.

freddi...we all feel like that at time. I find that if I only read certain posts I feel much better. I get out of the post that turn into 'abuse'. Better for the heart Try it. Welcome back.

Welcome back everyone. I'm feeling a real comradeship with most on this board today, yea even you JanH actually I do enjoy the fun we have in chat.

Heres that Grope hug mommy wanted ((((((((((((grope all)))))))))))

luv Liz

Well now I am having a 'hissy fit'. Just spent 10 minutes replying to everyone and it lost the whole damn post. Explorer is not supposed to do that. Oh well I'll take it up with Bill Gates.

Back to the drawing board. [>:(]

homophobia is a mis-nomer

by sawthelight in

since phobia means "afraid of", i think the term homophobia should be clarified.

to most people i would be considered homophobic, howeve, i'm not afraid of homos, i just don't like them.

Hi Joelbear

Thank you for not taking offence at what I said. It was not meant to offend. You will also notice that I said

I don't hate homosexuals. There are actually some nice people that are homosexuals. There are homosexual people on this board that I have come to like as people.

You are one of these people Joelbear that I have come to like. You have always shown yourself to be a caring and gentle person. You say what is on your mind without the "abuse" that so many use. I look forward to MOST of your posts And wonder where you are if I haven't seen you for a while.

And I would have no problems being friends with a person who is a homosexual.

Its the display of sexual love and passion for each other in front of me that I can't come to grips with. But then I don't agree with hetrosexuals pashing off in public either.

True what other people do is there business, but then we all need to consider the feeling of others. That is love. We all do or don't do things for the sake of other people.

Take care,
luv Liz

I agree with Englishman in that Sawthelight is expressing a personal preference and that is his perogative. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and just because they don't agree with what you or I feel doesn't mean they are wrong.

I don't hate homosexuals. There are actually some nice people that are homosexuals. There are homosexual people on this board that I have come to like as people. That doesn't mean I don't cringe when they speak about their homosexual exploits. Maybe one day I will come to accept that too, but for now I think not.

In my present state of mind, the act of homosexuality is unnatural. Slam me if you insist, but we are all entitled to our own opinion whether it agrees with yours or not.

So Bugeye love of my life I have to differ with your opinion on this one

Maybe you would do well to examine your motives for the "repulsion" and hatred that you feel towards homosexuals. I am not suggesting that you learn to enjoy erotic thoughts about them, but in the same way that you can accept the thought of an unnatractive couple having sex, you should be able to accept that some people, right or wrong according to your moral code, are homosexual and have every right to be so.

Personally finding something distasteful doesn't mean you are judging them.

Goodbye everyone......

just a note to all of you...i have been following this board for the past several weeks, and indeed it has been a most interesting experience.. i guess when i first came here, i had hopes that this might be a place for support and that maybe i would find some people that were indeed spiritual and were in fact trying to find a way of establishing a relationship with jehovah apart from being part of an organization( yes, take a look at the url for this site)..but, dissapointingly, what i have found is a lot of bitterness, complainiing, ugly name calling, labeling, and even outright hatred towards individuals and an organization that most were once part of....it seems that many are stuck in a very negative place, caught up in the role of "victim" and they are full of regret for wasting so much of their life 'in the truth'.... i guess the reality hit me the other day with a post that clearly stated that there really is no common denominator here other that this is a bunch of ex-jws...this is not necessarily spiritual fellowship..nor does it pretend to be.... know what guys??

?i wish you all the very best in your individual journey.....but i have come to the realization that this board really offers nothing to me..... i'm leaving today on an 11 day journey into the wilderness to take some time for meditation, introspective thinking...and yes...some journaling...and yes..even some praying..... i don't think i'll be back here.. hasta la vista, baby!

Hello somebody

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I can understand totally that you are not yourself. And I don't remember you jumping on BE. I find it hard to recall you ever jumping on anyone. Anyway soooo glad to have you back.

Chat with you later.
