NYT...you pretend to be concerned, even if it was true concern, you were showing it for a child not an adult. I explained I am not a child, no need to be concerned, I can take care of myself. I do exercise, it may not look like it, but I am not a lazy bum. You assume these things just by looking at the picture. You know what ASSumeing does....right?

NY Telecom & Wonder Woman 77
by Utopian Reformist inwhile it may be "politically correct" to jump all over nytelecom, let's face it, how many of you actually laughed at his post, before recomposing yourself and deciding to "grab a rope" and join the lynch mob?
i wonder who will be honest.
i am not a fan of nytelecom or fredhall or madapostate.

Jeez...Utopian, you could not just let it rest could ya. I am glad you got a good laugh out of me. You are right, we all have our flaws. I did not use to be overweight. I played high school basketball, volleyball and softball. I had to quit sports because when my parents became dubs they made me. It took away my identity, I was depressed and had nothing to put my energy into, and I gained weight. Ever adult in my family is overweight, it is something I live with everyday. I posted my pic because I did not think people here would care what I looked like. I did not think anyone would make fun of me. But I was wrong. I know I should not let idoits like this get to me, but sometimes it does. I have not been made fun of for my weight since I was a freshman in college, that was 5 years ago, and it happened on this board where I am suppose to be able to be healing but instead I feel worse.
NYT. I have told you that it was not a kid, so would get off your damn high horse about overweight kids. That is a huge problem in america, you are right, but you made your point, drop it.
Thank for everyone that understood what I was going through, LB, reborn, hillary and others.
Maybe the rest of the people should put there selves in my shoes. It is not fun. I guess I just expected people to be more mature...
Maybe I expected people to respect me for who I am and the thoughts I have. But I guess I am just an idealist

Nature's Cymbals
The wind like a screaming demon
Raced across the lonely land
Running with perfect passion,
As it blasts sand over bones from ages past.The rapidly rushing water
Running with wild force
Crashes against the stones,
As it roars through the valley.The constant pounding of raindrops
Falling heavily from the heavens,
Heaving against the cold concrete,
Drowning out all thinkable thought.The continuous crashing waves
Pounding the shore of sand,
Washing away in oblivion
All creatures once living.The rapidly repeating claps of thunder
Shake savagely the entire earth,
Scarring all so they seek shelter
Leaving only the lonely land.By: WW aka Steph

Is praying good for you?
by sleepy inwhen in the "truth" most of us used to pray.. i used to pray for help in doing things , say give a talk , and would ask for holy spirit .i felt i needed it to give a talk well.. but was it all just a placebo effect.. did the belief that i was getting help cause me to become more confident because i though god was helping me?.
as time went on in the truth i felt as if prayer was just talking to your self.in fact i found it embarissing to give prayers in public as i felt silly talking to an invisible creature.. but in the night i would prayer and maybe go over the days events , think about new things coming up , other people and life in general.. is this benifical to a person?.
in doing this we are meditating on events we would not otherwise think deaply about , this can help us think of solutions to problems or put things in perspective.. how often would we review events if we didnt pray.. now i doubt that we are conversing with god , but i think to "pray" or go over events in your mind maybe once a day or whatever, is good for your well being and can help you with lifes problems.. although not getting help from another creature we as humans need to meditate in order to make good decisions.. the placebo effect doesn't seem to work anymore and i rely on myself and my experience to help me do difficult tasks.. but when something really big comes up i admit i still say a little prayer.

I think that it does help me. Sometimes I pray, sometimes I meditate more. It just depends on my mood, but it helps me to center myself and have that connection to a higher power....

That is really cool. I have been hypontized 3 times at one of those comedian shows. It was so awesome. I did crazy stuff, but it relaxed me so much and really made me feel like I slept for hours...great stuff...Good luck and congrats...

Hypocrisy Within My Own Family
by Reborn2002 inyesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.
asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.
trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.

Hey Reborn,
Good post in the beginning, no need to flip out about people not responding. I just now got on, I have been at school and work all day, but some people just have time to read some posts while at work and do not have time to respond to every post that is posted. I understand you are highly frustrated and rightly so. The movie thing is very hypocritical. But so is about 75% of what JW do in my opinion.
Hey how come you never say Hi to me on msn, I always have to say hi to you?

Define spirituality
by sleepy indefine spirituality if you can.. what does the society mean when they talk of being spiritual?.
all i could figure out is just someone who follows the rules.. so if there is no god is spirituality meaning less or something still desirable?

Hmmm....To my spirituality is getting in touch with yourself and the world around you, it is developing a relationship with that higher being or spirit you believe in. If you do not believe in one, it is connecting with whatever makes you feel complete and gives you that feeling. I do not know how to describe that feeling, but you will know when you have found it....

I had to give up all sports when my family joined the JW religion. It was the worst time in my life. I got so depressed. I had been playing basketball from the time I was 5 until I was 13 and then the expected me to quit. I was good. I was suppose to stop volleyball and softball too. My basketball coached begged me to come back to the team. She knew I had potential. I think of the schools I could of gone to and the fun I could have had and how much better shape I would be in if they did not make me quit. I wish I would have stood up to them. That is one of the biggest regrets of my life. It was a huge part of my identity that I gave up....

We're not wrong, right?.............
by flower insuddenly i am hit with this overwhelming feeling that we are wrong and that there are logical explanations for all of the things that dont make sense.
aaaah.
this is awful.

I honestly use to have these feelings as well. But how can a religion that claims to have all truth yet they cannot love one another, be the right thing. Really is there a right answer? does there need to be one right answer?
