I told this joke some other place, but in case you missed it, I'm going to tell it again. Gentlemen, you can change the gender and the degree of profanity you might use to fit the occasion, but here we go.
An elderly couple were having breakfast one morning, and all of a sudden the women blurted out, "You no good jerk, my life as been total misery from the day I married you! Exuse me that must have been a Freudian slip. I meant to say 'Please pass the jam.'"
Psychology Jokes
Two psychologists were approaching each other on the street and one said to the other "You're fine, how am I?"
A man went to a psychiatrist, because he was still a bed wetter, in fact, he was a member of the bed wetter's hall of shame. After, much discussion the
psychiatrist concluded that the man's problem was due to anxiety, so gave him a perscription to help the problem. The man did not come back, but one day, several month's later, they ran into each other on the street. The psychiatrist asked if the medication had helped and his patient said that it had helped immensely, he said that the medicine was great, "I still wet the bed, but I don't care any more."
Why does it take three psychologists to change a light bulb? One to change it, and two to share the experience.
Sign on a psycholgist's office door. "Suicidal patients must pay in advance."
And Frank Zappa said regarding theraputic methods... "I'd rathr have a bottle in front of me than a prefontal lobbotomy."
As always, I must be off.
Frenchy:
Too much controversy here understandably. Think I will remain in some
of the other discussions, some of which I've begun topics in. There
are many other topics yet to be discussed.
Also, have consulted Jehovah in prayer that we get some more of the
friends interested in the discussion forum that way we get all age
groups represented. Some of the friends that were here before, I see
are not here any longer.
Hopefully, we can get others in here so there will be many more views
represented.
Sincerely,
Patricia

Mommy:
I haven't read everything on the forum discussions, haven't gotten
around to it yet, but, yes, me like other witnesses, know when something is right for us scripturally and when it is not. Sometimes,
it is good to remind others of that as well. There are chatrooms for
unscriptural discussions, which I am sure you know of. I feel that
our places for discussion were created for the friends not for worldly
entertainment, even if it is something as "minor" to you as something
you would consider to be a simple joke. And, it goes on, and on, and
on...

Your joke was filthy! and demeaning to yourself, (as a witness?) Who-
ever is the online host or administrator overseeing these discussions
(and I'm sure there must be someone), I'm sure disagrees with that
type of talk. There are worldly chatrooms for this. It is clear that
you are not close to Jehovah. Even if you felt that way, it is something that should never appear in print and never in front of the
eyes of other friends.
It is easy to see what type of woman you are viewed as in the big
congregation. What type of brother are you trying to influence?

Patrica,
I am sorry if you are offended by what you read here. When you first posted, I was the first to repond and my wife was the second. We tryed to tell you that we understood your pain and I think you knew that we understood.
I think that you need to know that most of us here are not where you are. We love Jehovah and we love each other, but we have very serious doubts about an organization that claims to represent Jehovah. This does not make us bad people. You may think we are wrong or even bad, but we are good enough to try to help you as best we know how. If we joke around or make silly remarks, it is not out respect for our Higher Power, but it is a way for us to deal with the pain we have experienced. Many here have tryed to give you words of consolation and we will continue to do so.
Hello Patricia,
I was the one who started several of the joke threads, and never fail to join in when others start one. I read the jokes to my husband - we both laugh. I print them out for the jw young men to read - they laugh and take them home for their jw wives. The wives love the women jokes.
Life is serious, even cruel, as I and my children are victims and witnesses of. You strongly chastize us here for joking about men vs women. Well, I hate to be the one to inform you of this - but in going out in field service (never inactive for 29 years), I heard a lot - a whole lot - of joking. Dumb blonde jokes, Polish, black, women, men, homosexuals, God, political, etc. And elders told just as many as the rest of us - if not more.
I've not read your fine responses on the rape of children within the congregation. I would enjoy your point-by-point breakdown of the WTBTS Official Response to this. Particularily the part where they - as God's Only Channel To Mankind - released their official response as saying they report rapists to the authorities - when the laws say they must. May I ask you - what does the WTBTS report in other places - where the law say they don't have to report?
There are so many serious things in life - some of us don't break out in spontaneous poetry, etc., to relieve the pressure. We joke - it works. You should try it sometime. It gives you a common ground with your kids, btw.

Larc:
I did not ask for your understanding as that is entirely up to you. I
am now happy that I understood what had been happening to me having to
deal both with a physical and mental disability. No, you do not help
me or encourage any of the friends by your raucous, loose, speech and
claim to love Jehovah and yet criticize his organization. The two
simply do not go hand in hand. A sister once told me years ago, when
I first came into the truth, that if you go about and continue to keep
a close eye (watch) on the friends and what they are doing, that you
will probably not remain in the truth for very long. Not one of us is
perfect and the WTBTS isn't either because they are human and subject
to human frailities. When we point one finger at them, (the organization) there are many more fingers on our own hand pointing back at us.
Whether you understand me or not is immaterial to me. We have common
beliefs from being in the organization, which is what binds all persons baptized to Jehovah and his earthy organization. That is why
I find your worldly speech so repulsive and disruptive. To have made
such crude jokes, let's me know that you are not strong in your faith.
Sincerely,
Patricia

Hello Jedi:
Working this from back to front I will try to remember as many things
as you have mentioned. Yes, in a very real sense, I do have a common
ground with my children. Being a single parent, we have been through
some very heart-wrenching times. For example, my two teenagers, who
were 16 and 17 at the time were responsible for getting their mother
help when I had "lost it," and was going through a nervous breakdown
and was not aware of it. It was probably the hardest thing that they
have had to do so far in making that type of decision. I've always
been head of my household and, am a very strong person. At first I
resented them having done so, even after I found out why. But, they
did not understand either and it frightened them to see me so scared.
Needless to say, for children that can deal with something that close
to home anything else is child's play. My teenagers are worldly, as
I think I mentioned before, so yes, I'm still dealing with their
experiences in life. And, God's word always rings true in His reminders to us all, that following Jehovah's way is the best way.
Nuff said about that.
Jokes about homosexuals, etc. definitely have no place in kingdom
halls. How someone would even venture to make such indecent talk
public in God's house is beyond me! Some elders will listen and others will "go along with what is happening," as all congregations
are not the same!!!!!!!! As mentioned before, they differ in the
same city and they definitely differ from state to state. Worldly
speech and mannerism have defnitely infiltrated Jehovah's organization, as has AIDS, brothers and sisters marrying those not in
the truth, rape, and everything else that plagues the world. We are
definitely not immune to such influences. But that does not make it
right. I am sorry that you feel it does!!!!!
I would not want to belong to your congregations where such conduct
occurs openly and freely. If I did, I would not participate or bring
such dirty talk to an elder, if for no other reason, out of simple
respect.
Sincerely,
Patricia

Patricia,
It is clear that you are not close to Jehovah.
Beeeep. Wrong answer. Jehovah has called me by name. He loves me and I am his. According to my favorite scripture, when I pass through the waters he will be with me; and through the rivers they will not overflow me; when I walk through the fire, I will not be burned. Nor will the flames scorch me. He loves me in spite of my lapses, my imperfections and forgives me for being human. Tell me what type of woman I am? Since it's so easy to see. Anyone else reading this
and and my past posts; please feel free to tell me what kind of a woman I am too.
What type of brother are you trying to influence?
None. I am here to offer my support to survivors of
sexual assaults-especially young sisters. I have grown to love and have found a few friends here. I hope you will also.
Sincerely,
Seven
