  Anyone who has seen "Fatal Attraction" knows that women are not the only ones who have to be careful with those people who will just not leave you alone after you have said no to them or not called them after a date.

  From what talesin said about bunny-boiler, I see she has seen that movie (I'm sure most of you have).

  I agree with NC comments. When a man starts trying to tell you what to do,or even suggesting something of the sort, it's time to say good-bye. I have actually called security at a Mall to see me to my car when I have

  noticed too much attention being given to me by a man. I listen to my "gut" feeling when I meet or am around someone I just met or am not familar with.

  msjones, thats for posting that article. It was excellent. I am going to order the books mentioned there. You can never learn too much on this subject.

  Cagefigher, I don't see all men as dangerous, but this e-mail reeks with danger sighs/red flags. As stated eariler, by NC, I think, A woman does not owe a man,or anyone else, an explaination for not wanting to see/be with them

  anymore. It's a matter of choice.

  This is just plain scary. I would actually be very afraid if I were Lauren.

  Magwitch, I agree. SCARY! There are some people who are hard to get rid of once you meet them. They seem to think they own you just because they know you or have had a date with you.

  questions from readers ?

  some animals have characteristics that seem especially suited to killing, such as lions and poisonous snakes.

  how can this be, if they were all vegetarians at one time?l.

  tootired2care, thanks for the video. Those animals behave too much like humans for my comfort. They are scarey. Nope, I don't think the WTS has thought all of their teaching through. I wouldn't trust these animals in the new

  order. They may not have gotten the memo (read the wt) about how they are under our control and are supposed to be nice. I read about the chimp that ate/ripped off a woman's face and hands. I hate those animals. Although I

  believe that chimp was acting in accord with his animal instincts, those animals are too dangerous to be around and I don't think they could/would change. I never questioned it when I was a jw, I just accepted it without thinking

  about it. I sure don't believe it now and it does not make sense to me anymore.

  I feel we (USA) may be on the decline. As has been stated eariler, other empires fell. I don't think we will fall soon, but I don't think we will have the same power if we continue to borrow from other countries and spend more money

  that we have. People in South America are younger and hungier, not as spoiled as those in North America. China is becoming more powerful and who knows what is really happening in the Middle East.

  Is anyone else embarrassed that you believed all this crap as gospel . . . . .

  Yes, I'm embarrassed. I just took their word for whatever they taught me. Now I just say, to myself, I never knew or thought about that. I was dumb enought to think that they really were God's spokeman and He did actually

  did revel things to them as new light.

  Evidence For Impending Change Re: "Loose Conduct" to "Brazen Conduct"

  by DarioKehl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on another thread discussing possible changes to the nwt, the post refered to a 2nd-hand report of a co leaking possible changes to 5 verses where "loose conduct" would be replaced by "brazen conduct.

  " although it is merely speculative at this point, i would like to remind those of you who did attend the 2012 dc this summer about some important evidence that supports this theory.

  if the program is still available on jw.org, feel free to see this for yourselves.

  I am glad I'm out. I could not take all that control and scruting. I could not have elders getting into my affairs.I would be d/f'd for contempt and insolence for/towards the elders.

  Bondie, I appreciate all the in-depth information you provide.

  Why do folks feel it necessary to announce their departure from this board?

  by SadElder in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't post often, and rarely start topics.

  but, i've often wondered why folks feel the need to post their departure from this board.

  they're free to leave or fade, etc.

  I also have wondered why peope announce their departure, but then I thought about how we introduce ourselves when we join JWN or when we meet anyone. Saying goodbye may be a proper thing to do. I left the borg in the late

  70's and started a new life. I never had any support from anyone, except my two xjw brothers and one male cousin, who was never baptized. I have had a sucessful entry into the world. I only looked for xjws on the internet

  last year. I enjoy this site, first, because I know no one who has never been a jw, esp. a born-in jw, can understand what it is like to grow up in a cult. Second, I have learned a lot here, there are some smart people on

  this site and I benefit from their input and their different take on things. I also like the fact that it is an international site. I like knowing what those in other countries think about life, being an xjw, and just reading about their

  experiences in the borg and in life in general. I'm sure I will hang around for quite a long time. I hate to see others go, it's like losing a someone in the neighborhood.

  11-year-old niece was told by JW grandmother that she shouldn't play in band

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i haven't posted here in a while, but i thought this was worth mentioning, and i just wanted to vent about it.. my brother and sister-in-law, who are now divorced, bought my niece a clarinet about a year ago, so she could play in the band at school.

  she loves it more than anything in the world.

  one day last week, her grandmother found out about this and got all upset about it.

  What reasoing did this grandmother use for not wanting her granddaugher to play with the band? Was it because she may have to play a patriotic tune, miss a meeting if she plays at the football games, waste time practicing the

  clarinet when she could be out in the fs or studying the wt? What could be wrong about playing in the band? I have never understood this reasoning. It takes disipline to learn how to play an instrument. Learing music and math

  takes a lot of brain power. I hope her parents stand up for her and don't allow grandmother to interfere with her playing or being in the band.

  Red Delicious, with Fuji a close second, for eating. Rome for cooking.
