How openminded are you now?
by DannyBear injudgemental and closeminded were exact descriptions of my former jw self.. recently on another forum, someone posted a cartoon depicting the character urinating on the bible.
i had an immediate revulsion and concluded this was not appropriate, letting the poster know my thoughts.
other's on the forum did not see it as i did.

"The Note"
by AuSet inat the 1994 district convention in bismark, north dakota, (could possibly have been 93) my sister wrote a note to her friend and tossed it in the garbage.
the note contained a discussion about going to boy's hotel rooms after the sessions ended, and other troublesome activities, including lying to the parents about what my sister and her friend were doing.. presumably, an attendant found this note in the garbage and turned it into the elders.
on the last talk of the last day of the convention, the note was read out loud to the entire audience, along with the warning that "whoever you are, we will find you.

Final Observations
by Esmeralda ini'm an observant person.
i became that way back in what i call the 'wallflower years' of my life, when i could very easily blend into the woodwork of any room i walked into without anyone looking up.
i became a student of human nature and watched how people interacted, and that study has come in handy at many points.. sometimes, though, i don't realize when i'm opening a can of worms.

Hysterical Men & Women!
by trevor into waiting - (and all you lurkers out there - what you looking at - this is private?).

The Nun Joke
by Big Jim inthis nunn dies and goes to heaven, when she gets there st.peter tells her that they are all full and that she could pick whoever she wanted to be for a week back on earth.. she tells st.peter she would like to be sandy pippe line.
st. peter does not know who she is talking about so he says he will have to look into the birth records to get more information.. so he looks and he can find no record of a sandy pippe line ever being born and he informs the nunn of this.. the nunn says oh yes let me show you, so she reaches in her pocket and pulls out a newspaper clipping and hands it to him.. st.peter reads it and his face turns all red and he tells the nunn he says no sister this reads the sandy pipe line laid by 100 men in one week.
