Logical,
I know because it's in the local newspaper. Last year they arrested 24 perverts as a result of their sting operation.
hello mommy, let me get straight to the point here - (not like amicus who has been desperately trying in vain to sweet talk his way into sevens panties) - i think you are a living doll and i would like to marry you right now.
yes you can take this as a proposal.
i need to get some service in on you every month starting immediately.

Well, Bubbee,
You have domonstrated one thing: there is no point in being ignorant unless you can show it off.
I'll bet you really know how to pick up women down at the local bar. Even there they would blow you off. After the age of 17, a boy ought to learn better talk, but of course, you might be a pimply faced teenager getting his kicks over acting stupid. I am glad that could share your deep pockets of ignorance with us and your shallow approach to other people.
I think you would be better served using your hacker skills by breaking into people's private porno collection. By the way, I would not recommend that you get in an internet chat with 15 year old girls from Xenia Ohio, then go to meet them. They are not nubile young girls, they are detectives, and your only date will be with a judge. You will not pass go. You wil not collect 200 dollars. You will go directly to jail.
Have a nice day.
heresy of the month (from a website).
don't you hate it when someone you know comes up with some new thing that you have never heard about?
you sit there in apparent ignorance as they pontificate about the proofs and merits of some idea so far beyond common knowledge that it can only be revealed by people of exceptional enlightenment such as they.
Sister Prisca,
We don't fuss over little things like the definition of a month, so don't worry yourself. We just say 30 days plus or minus 10.
Now, regarding you slip yesterday (we call it a slip not a sin). Just remember the scripture from Hominominies 36:45, "One slip does not make a fat person, nor even a change in dress size." I hope these sacred words gave you comfort, sister Prisca.
Say Ahmen Flock.
Public Announcement: In the next issue of Asleep magazine we will provide you with a price list, including volume discounts, and an address where you can buy from either thinker or myself, some low calorie water.
hey y'all, http://web2.airmail.net/ktrig246/out_of_cave/sss.html.
societal stockholm syndrome.
the term, stockholm syndrome, was coined in the early 70's to describe the puzzling reactions of four bank employees to their captor.
Waiting,
No, I wasn't being sarcastic.
prisca's comments about wol made me wonder about official wts sanctioned spies and moles.
we all know for a fact that to the wts lies are ok, and spying does happen.
does anyone know of officially appointed wts spies, or do hard-core militant and/or plain old sneaky jw's just feel it is their duty?
TR,
As it says in Larc 43:85, "A week unto an Elder is as a thousand years."
i am a man who is in love with a witness.
we have been in a relationship for 3 years full of guilt and fear and now it seems like it may be the end.
is it possible or is there a way for me to have my own belief and marry a jw?
She wouldn't be shunned if she married you, I don't think, local customs may vary. They would show great tolerance for you it you showed interest in them. If you got baptized in their religion, they would show great intolerance for any expression of desagreement that would utter.

Jarrod,
This is awful short notice to give you thoughful advice. About this conversion thing. They know they can't convert you in one evening. Perhaps you could agree to look into their religion. This might buy you time to learn about particular beliefs and come back here for further advice about good ways of questioning those beliefs without alienating you girl friend or her father. That's the best I can do for now. I assume you are pressed for time, but if you could provide more detail, we could be of more assistance. What have the two of you discussed regarding religion over the last three years? This would be useful for us to know.
my huband posed something to me yesterday that i had never even thought of before.
he said, wouldn't it be possible that if a group <ie.
jehovahs witnesses> fell out of gods favor, what would stop him from choosing another group?
Jr,
I appreciate your reasonable response to my inquiry, and I'm looking forward to your new thread. Unlike the TV progam, Dallas, I will not shoot Jr. By the way, I hope we can get most of the new subject thrashed out by Supper Bowl Sunday, which will prove to be a major distraction for me.
Logical and Jr,
I know that Jehovah knows more stuff than I do, but all I can do is to try to figure out what I can with my relatively limited intellect. It seems to me that if Noah took in generic animals, then there would have to be a very rapid rate of evolution to produce the huge variety we have today. Since all animals were vegetarians before the flood, their would have to be rapid and significant structural changes to produce the carnivours, both among birds and mammals.
Sassenach,
If you haven't read it, I would recommend a book called "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer. It is a sociological masterpiece. Interestingly, Hoffer was not a sociologist, but a long shoreman, who was self taught. I read his book when I first came out, and reread it again a few years ago. He gives an excellent explaination of the phenomena that you are pondering.
when you were active, or if you still are, did you all maintain non-jw friendships?.
i've always kept some close friends who weren't jws.
but reading a .
When I was young, we lived in the country, and the KH in the nearest town only had about 30 members. There were no JW kids there, and none in my school, so I was lucky enough...oops... I mean I was fortunate enough to have regular play mates. Later, we moved to the city, but I only had one JW kid in my neighborhood, so again, I mostly associated with regular kids. The religion was much smaller then. It wasn't until I was in high school that I got to know a lot of JW kids.
Interpersonnely, the hardest part about leaving was my own paranoia and judgemental attitude about the "people in the world" The socialization process took awhile for me.
