Larc,
This is the creed of the Borg. Don't you watch Star-Trek?

i am not, nor ever have been, a witness.
i have a very dear friend who is a former (actually still is technically, as i understand it) witness and who is trying to adjust to existence in the "world.
" i am here on this site to better understand the hell she has been subjected to all her life and the hell she is and will still go through on her journey.

"Resistance Is Futile"We are the Borg.Lower your shields, and surrender your ship. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service ours. Resistance is futile. Freedom is irrelevant; Self-determination is irrelevant; You must comply. Strength is irrelevant. Death is irrelevant. Your defensive capabilities are unable to withstand us. Resistance is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward, you will service us. |

your type is the bad boy.
the pink lady needs her t-bird.
This said I am a Mountain Man. Only about half of it fits:
You're an outdoorsy guy. Strong and masculine without being macho; definitely in touch with nature and very athletic. You're a low-maintenance Mountain Man with a no-frills attitude. Women find your down-to-earth demeanor very refreshing because you don't get caught up in any of life's superficialities. They love the healthy balance you've struck in your life by keeping in touch with the wild. Even more, they love your simple heart, which has no time for petty game-playing. Forget melodrama you'd rather be outside kayaking or rapelling down a cliff. What the ladies see is what they get and they definitely like the entire package! Whether it's for your sense of adventure or your rugged looks, women fall hard for the Mountain Man.
does anyone remember how the society joined the "disco sucks" movement of the late 70's?
i remember reading in the mags about how disco was created by homos and that it has an "immoral beat" (whatever that means!
) it was also mentioned not to go see "saturday night fever" because someone gets a blowjob in the movie.. in our congregation, we had a special meeting about disco because people would request disco songs at our once-a-month jw skating party at the local skating rink.
Wow, puffsrule! I was staying in Chicago that summer with my Grandmother, and I remember seeing this on the news. I was like, WHAT THE....?
I love disco. Until a few years ago I was a House D.J. Pretty much the same concept. Only most of the crowd I was spinning for was on Ecstasy.

I wasn't born till 1969
I was born in 1969 as well.
Strange, I was also born in 1969! The disco article led me to ask mom & dad what "oral sex" was?!

It ended up that the skating parties, one of the only social things I was allowed to do as a kid, were cancelled. THAT really SUCKED! Some rebel bros. and sister started their own, once-a-month skating party, but most of us were not allowed to go by our parents, just in case more disco music was played.

woman branded a hippo by internet date threatens to sue
a woman is threatening legal action after a man she met through an internet dating agency described her as a "hippo".. romanians nicoleta popescu and gabriel malinescu had their first date after two months of on-line flirting and phone calls.. nicoleta now says she's going to sue gabriel for emotional distress.. but he says she purposefully deceived him, claiming she weighs eight stone when he reckons she's much heavier.. gabriel, 33, from bucharest, told the national newspaper: "i expected to see a blonde, blue-eyed, slim beauty in front of me.
but what i got was a gigantic hippo.
Maybe 8 stones means whatever Mick Jagger or Keith Richards weighs x 8.
do all of you ex-jehovah's witnesses get upset when you are called an apostate?
you all call each other apostates, so why should you all get upset if i call you apostates?
if you don't like being called 'apostate', what title would you prefer?
APOSTATE: I am branded with the scarlot A as a stigmata and a warning to my former family and associates. I am now a disease - the walking dead! My shame is whispered about in quiet conversations in the corner of the Hall and in automobiles between return visits. My remains are fed upon by those I have cared for and loved as they gossip about me while feigning solicitude. How could I turn on my brothers and sisters as a traitor? I do not know, for I am posessed. I have become a hideous creature who can only survive on the blood of his next victim, the unwary weaker brother or sister that may fall prey to the sick and disgusting apostate ideas that have infested and eaten my brain.
Other than that, the word doesn't really bother me!
was russell a freemason and was he a member of the adventist church?
It does seem in this quote that Russell is just trying to relate to the Freemasons. As when JFK said "Ich bin ein Berliner".
