  As Bro Sydlick was saying the closing prayer, he started crying so
  much he could not continue.

  He had sex with a prostitute?

  "Beware the Voice of the WTS"

  i've been thinking about the part at the dc on "beware the voice of strangers".

  they mention three areas to watch: any dissenting talk against the organization, the internet and the media(as in newspapers, news-shows on tv, etc.).

  there's been quite a bit of talk already on this board about the internet part of the talk.

  Just an update on the recording of this talk - I have it formatted to MP3, all I have to do is upload it with my speedy dialup connection

  I still have to go through the Great Teacher book before my mother places it with her bible study

  The generation that by no means would pass away until all things occurred

  wow!

  i longed for the day when the last of the anointed remnant was on his/her death bed and all of the witnesses awaited to be swept away into the new system.. who knew that they could just, with one stroke of "new light" change everything and do away with this hope/doctrine.

  how many times did i preach it from door to door and misrepresent god and the bible!

  from another thread:where else does the media so vividly show females as equal .

  when i read this, i had to wonder: is there something wrong with doing so?

  portraying women as equals?

  I'll hold open the door for old women, young, pretty, ugly, skinny, fat. Still, for some reason, every 'pretty' (not soul-pretty, of course) woman I hold the door open for sneers at me, as if I held open the door so I could introduce the subject of copulation.

  I'll tell you my personal thoughts on this one. Most attractive women have been able to get anything they want with their looks. Their looks get them anywhere and anything they want. They EXPECT you to hold the door open for them, they EXPECT you to comment on how beautiful they are.

  Another thing that adds to women acting like this is the amount of men in her life trying to kiss her ass to get a date with her. These men shower her with attention, buy her gifts, do favors for her, etc. They have helped put her on the pedestal that she rules on.

  But, go up to a woman like this, tell her she has a cute moustache, and see how quickly she falls off her pedestal.

  My X will tell you that in our relationship, he was the emotional one.

  Hi Robyn! I'm not sure we're on the same track with the whole "emotional" thing. I'm not talking about emotional instability here, but more of how emotions affect their decisions. I'm going to pick on you for this example.

  I hope that my next relationship is a little more balanced.

  Okay, let's say you meet this next guy. He's everything that you wanted in a man physically. Now, sit there, at your computer and picture this man. Picture what he looks like. You done? Okay, let's get onto this meeting.

  You see him in the grocery store looking at household cleaners. You're thinking "Damn, he's cute. I wish he'd come over and talk to me". Most likely he won't, but for the sake of this example, he approaches you.

  Him: Um, Hi.
  You: Hello
  Him: Soooo, what are you shopping for.
  You: Oh just some stuff for the house.
  Him: Oh yeah, that's nice.
  (silence)
  Him: Welllll, how about I take you out sometime?
  You: Sure, I guess.
  Him: Okay, here's my number.
  You: Thanks.
  Him: Sooooo, I guess I'll hear from you.
  You: Yeah I guess.
  Him: Sooooo, I'll see you later.

  Pretty boring. Now let me ask, are you going to call him? He's good looking, but he didn't sweep you off your feet.

  Now, you're in the same grocery store and you see this guy who's a bit short, a bit overweight. He's not ugly, but he's not a model either. He approaches you pointing to the item in your hand:

  Him: Wow! I thought only blondes used Sunlight dish soap!
  You: What??!?
  Him: You know, this stuff is just excellent for making bubble baths. The only thing is you come out smelling like a lemon.
  You: (Laughing) What's so bad about smelling like a lemon?
  Him: I don't like smelling like a fruit.
  You: (Laughing)
  ----a few minutes pass with conversation----
  Him: Wow, you seem like a really fun person! Why don't you give me your number, and we'll continue this conversation elsewhere?
  You: (Slightly surprised) Sure!

  Now, when he calls, are you going to go out with him? Do you see the difference between the two?

  Had to spend a little time with the guys in white coats... and BIG needles. Vampires... all of them

  I had an experience like that once. Ugly bastard he was. I was sitting at home watching, of all things, that stupid TV show where all those japanese people injure themselves doing these obstacle courses. Then suddenly, there was a knocking at my door. I figured it was those damn Jehovah's Witnesses again, so I went and grabbed my shotgun. Without even opening the door, I fired my shotgun and blasted a hole through the door. That way I wouldn't have to see their styrofoam smiles. I then opened the door, and there was this dude with sharp teeth and a white coat laying on the ground. He also had a T-shirt on that said "I Suck". Sucks to be him.

  Anyway, take care & good health to you.

  ......ooops, just realized my username LOL! I just kicked myself in the mouth :P

  I am just, as of late, really starting to think that some men honestly do feel that women are inferior creatures.

  Most men will not admit to this. They'll say "I'm not pussywhipped", but when a beautiful woman says "jump", they keep jumping and ask when they should stop. Men are incredibly intimidated by women. Women get put on a pedestal and worshipped, just because they are beautiful. The beautiful woman can do no wrong in a man's eyes. Even if the woman treats the man like shit, she's still a perfect angel because of her looks.

  Anyway, back to the question "are men and women equal?" I answer yes and no. Yes because they are both humans. No because men and women work differently. I don't see one being "weaker" than the other. Men are the logical creatures, and women are the emotional creatures. Men cannot carry a baby for 9 months (naturally), and women can.

  In other words, men and women are DIFFERENT from each other.

  There's something wrong with this, lemme try and fix it....

  ...Parents can imitate Jehovah in being long-suffering by not hastily giving up on the deviating child, unless the child has been disfellowshipped from the congregation. Without losing hope, they can take the initiative to keep the lines of communication open or to reestablish communication, unless the child has been disfellowshipped from the congregation. While sticking to righteous principles they can again and again appeal to the child to return to the way of the truth by shunning him.

  There. That sounds more like the love the society encourages.

  I understand hittin the town with the girls once in a while but not three or four times a week. That's what broke the whole thing up...she wanted to party.

  I've been there. My ex-fiance was very much like this. When we were living together and she went out with her friends, I wouldn't complain. However, she wouldn't come home that night, or the next day, no phone call, nothing. Then I'd sit around worrying myself to death about her. Then she steps in the f****** door. "Hi honey" like nothing ever happened. "Where the hell were you?!??" "Oh, I slept over at Lynn's place". I asked her to leave me a note, or leave a message on the answering machine. She kept pulling this over and over without letting me know. She also started going out more often. I should've kicked her out.

  Anyway, she left me, I recovered, and I'm marrying someone who actually respects me. Things always turn out for the better. Obiwan, I hope your wife has done a lot of thinking, and I hope she puts more effort into making your marriage work. Good luck with the future!
