  Gawd, I forgot how immersed JW's are. everything you see has some part of the WTS involved with it, from the calendar on the fridge to the pictures on the walls, you can't get away from it. Of course I love my brother to death, but I tell ya, I've only been here overnight and it's already getting to me. Feels like I'm being smothered just from the sheer volume of things that are pushing "the troof" in the house. Ever notice how dubs even decorate their homes to look like the ones in the pics in the publications?

  I'm so gonna have to get a place here if I have to stay very long.

  I have known of some cutting pictures out from the calendars and framing them; the one that comes to mind was a picture with the scripture from Joshua "as for me and my household we shall serve Jehovah". Guess they wanted to imitate the walls at bethel decorated with all the paintings that are usually in the books and mags.

  WLG,

  I just had a flash of you like some poor Viet Nam vet having a flashback about being back in the jungle fighting Charlie.

  I can see you running out of the house screaming, "I won't go back"

  why don't you hang a pic of your avatar up in your room?

  I can just picture your brothers face if he saw good old Johnny giving him the bird when he came into your room......

  We had a plaque in our house for years that had this scripture on it. I was just thinking about it the other day. I think it may be in my husband's office but it should now say 'as for me, I'm the only one still serving Jehovah'. I'm sure it must make him very sad if he ever even looks at it anymore.
