AN INFAMOUS "GYN" VISIT
by Trotafox intrue story from a girl at work about her sister.
honest to god.. her sister was in a frantic rush one day trying to get out of the office to get to her yearly gynecologist exam on time.
she rushed home, didnt have time to take a shower so she just took a sink bath and sprayed on some fds spray (for all males out there, that is feminine deoderant spray).

2/3 of all JW's are women and what it implies
by Mindchild ina few weeks back, kinsman posted a link about a recent survey of religion in america which showed that 68% of all jehovah's witnesses were female, which is the highest ratio of women to men in any religion in the usa.. i believe the reason for this unbalance in adherents in favor of women comes down to two fundamental reasons.
the first is shunning and the second is the appeal of the "family type atmosphere" that the witnesses pretend to offer.. we all know the power of shunning keeps a lot of people trapped inside the collective, and just due to the fact that women are enculturated more with having emotional bonds with others, makes it a bit tougher to leave family and friends behind.
this doesn't mean that men don't suffer emotionally, but the general trend is more for men to suppress their feelings and damn the emotional torpedoes and go full speed ahead out of the bad dream.. this suggests to me, that if there is a major modification of the shunning policy, the largest exodus will be in the female ranks.

"Imagine" all the inappropriate songs...
by Tatiana inthis is a complete list of "lyrically inappropriate" songs being banned from several us radio stations in the wake of the attacks.. "it's very dangerous," says nina crowley, director of massmic, a music free-speech organization.
"i understand they're pulling certain violent songs.
but you put out a list of songs like this, and the next thing you know someone's pulling the albums off the shelves in wal-mart.".
