the cow said, "that's a kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years.

i was wondering how many men here let their beard grow, when they decided to quit the organization.
since having a beard in the jw's is not permitted, it would seem appropriate to let one's beard grow just to show that we don't go by their rules anymore.
maybe for others it was growing a mustache or maybe shaving their head.. did you change your "look" right after leaving the organization?.
Lessee now...in the 11 yrs. since I df'd, I've worn pants every day....except on three occasions when I wore a dress....but almost always pants....can't really stand the thought of being forced to wear a dress ever again.

last week my lawyer appealed the judges decision , based on the fact that we are not sure what will happen with costs.
now that we have appealed, the watchtower also cross appealed with 10 pages of why the "judge erred".
looks like this has openned a whole can of worms.
BRAVO, Vicki!
Good to see ya here, cherie....don't get carpet burns on yer chin...it'll turn out all right....just wait 'n see, chickadee!

for those who have been out for a while, was there anything special about the very last meeting you attended (excluding memorials)?
was there anything incredibly memorable about it?
Yes, Nosferatu, very much so....It was my disf'ing meeting. I sat front row and center, sans any other bros and sisses....it was the Thursday night meeting <ministry school and KM>....I watched the elders who'd met with me and to whom I had written a scalding letter in answer to their headuptheira** accusations against me....watched as they hung their heads, turned white-faced and ashen and the one who gave my disf'ing announcement was red-faced....one of 'em even sneaked in a lil message for me in his program part about how the Isrealites stayed clean when they went into the wilderness and cautioning anyone finding themselves cast into the wilderness for any reason to follow the Isrealites' example and do the same....heheheheh

[now for the rest of the story ... it begans again below with ### in front of the continuation] .
well, well, well ... well, well ... well, uhmmmmm ... this ought to be good .
these two ladies were standing there ... one was obviously an elder's wife ... say late 40s ... likely aux.

Me either, Refiner'sFire....I prefer that my tastebuds be perky enuff to taste what I'm eatin, so I don't fix it real hot, just with a lil kick to it.. But I did enjoy the joke, cher, so I passed it along...I think it's real funny the extremes ppl will go to in order to prove their macho/macha..

his is a quote from the give god glory district convention showing how they avoid their own questions and provide the usual vague answers that no jw understands.
we don't want to be personally refuting these untruths unless jehovah's organisation assigned us to do that, publicly.
now, are we talking people in our ministry or elsewhere about points about what they have heard, read?
<chews cud for a while>......I dunno, BeWise....if they get any vaguer, no one will know how to follow their tracks down the broad way, cher!

god said, "you must go to field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer.
the cow said, "that's a kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years.
let me have twenty years and i'll give back the other forty.
On the first day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's a kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty years and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed.
On the second day, God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give back the other ten." So God agreed (sigh).
On the third day God created the monkey. God said, entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty year life span."
Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed again.
On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? No way man. Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty cow gave back, and the ten dog gave back and the ten monkey gave back. That makes eighty, okay?" "Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."
So that is why for the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, have sex, enjoy, and do nothing; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the house and bark at everybody.
he he he he :)
