it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.
it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!
) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.
I find these people a bit 'crazy' or looney tunes, but definitely not 'Asperger-like' (whatever that is supposed to mean). People who deal with Asperger's Syndrome are usually highly intelligent, and often have trouble in social situations. But my friends who have/ deal with AS do not, in any way, remind me of the nutbars Simon is talking about.

besides being overworked and overstressed almost everyday in the past few months,.
i've had to deal with a 'broken heart', insecurities with my physical appearance (gained a lot of weight),.
and being lonely because i started distancing myself from the 'congregation', i just want to cry, sob, and bawl out here in my bedroom.
I didn't cry for a lot of years. Two things I found help. Crying in the shower - it is private, and womb-like. Also, watching a movie that I know 'gets to me', like Ole Yeller.
Sending you much support and love, you will make it!

now i know they have always discouraged marrying outside of their so called 'truth' but since when has it been a punishable offense?
my sister recently married and they are discussing wether her being married to an outsider will stumble others and if they need to reprove or disfellowship her for it..
It depends on a lot of things. If they want to 'get' her, they will.
If your family is 'strong' or prominent JWs, they may make it as tough as they can. The criteria for disfellowshipping is very broad, including intangibles such as "rebelliousness" .... so, anything goes. Just my 2.

sir82 and ShirleyW, you got the two spelling errors *definately and rediculous* that used to make me back away from the keyboard, grip my hands together and say "la la la, it doesn't bother me" ... ahahaha!
Now, I just gloss over it and carry on. For about 10 years, I worked for consulting firms, editing reports for grammatical and technical errors. Many people don't know how to spell, even those with a PhD. It's a fact. But hey, I'm not the grammar police. *shrugs*
What does bug me are people who say "nucular" instead of "nuclear". And even more,"proNOUNciation" instead of "proNUNciation" ,,, a mistake the 'Brother' invariably made when counselling me on my talks at the KMS. :P

this is nuts and his must be huge!.
what happens when you bolt a jet engine to a bicycle?
you'd imagine "certain death" but you'd be wrong.
That was awesome! I just emailed it. :)
Simon said,
remember going down a hill and reaching the point where you couldn't keep your feet on?!
Yes. WIPE OUT!

have you had the pleasure of hearing this doozy??
i believe it was presented at the circuit level first, it has filtered it's way down.. the poor eldub opens with this definition of the word fantasize:.
"to conceive fanciful or extravagant notions, ideas, suppositions, ect.
ADCMS - yup. You weren't strong enough to resist Satan's temptations! You have now chosen to worship Satan, you have eaten the proverbial vomit, and belong to this 'worldly system of things' TM .
My head is spinning, just thinking about it. Most illogical, Captain.

That's what I figured the assets reflected, but I keep hearing people say on this DB, that the congregations sign over the Kingdom Hall to the Society, but I guess that even if they have a leasehold agreement, the building would be considered an asset on the FS? It's been about 20 years since I studied, but it also seemed to me that their assets shoud be the same as their liabilities, but that is not an annual report in details. Kind of interesting, how much they 'took in' in one year, in one of Canada's poorest areas. That's a lot of bucks
"dicte" a danish tv series on netflix shows shunning of protagonist by her jw parents in the first few minutes of the opening episode.. it's similar to wallander if you're into that type of detective series you're sure to find this one interesting.. netflix description of the series is that:.
"a crime reporter starts a new life by returning to her hometown, where she finds herself at odds with the police when she tries to solve their cases.".
it opens with a young girl giving birth, her child is taken away, her parents helping to give the baby up.. ahead to 24 years later a woman gets out of her car and approaches a group of people entering a kingdom hall.. she calls them father and mother but they say nothing to her.
I see that the library has one of her books "THree Dog Night", and another "Dead Souls", on order. I shall put them on hold. Thanks! Elsebeth Egholm is the author.

it seems like we have had quite a few new members join up over the last few months!.
has anyone else noticed this?.
i guess that most of us "lurked" here for some time before we got the courage to actually join up and start as a proper forum member?
Welcome! Come on in and set a spell. :)
as a kid, my fave band was bto (bachman turner overdrive).
randy bachman (a somewhat devout mormon) was the driving force.
randy had separated from the guess who (american woman, these eyes, no sugar tonight).
Oh, and Bad Company - first song I learned on my guitar "Feels Like Makin' Love" :D
10 from 6 is a really "Bad" compilation album of theirs - my fav is "Shooting Star"
