Son came home last night with a new "Faux-hawk" haircut - I LOVE IT

that's right - he's been needing a haircut and laughingly said as we parted ways to go to our respective salons, "mom, we seem to basically have the same hairstyle right now.

" lol!

it was true - we both needed a new "do".

I'm new to JW forum!!

How many years of brainwashing did you have? What you are feeling is NOT uncommon.

I was raised in the Org. and till I was 46 very active. I am fading as well...have been since last June.

How Many Reveal Themselves Totally On This Board?

by minimus in

jw
friends

some feel that you should put out a history of who you are, what your life was and is like now and express it in a very simple way so that everyone can "know" you.

we've had posters say they were elders, elder's sisters, hurt jws, etc.

it could all be a little fantasy.

Coctails - Help me!

hello boys and girls .

i need some specific help.

i am hosting a party to celebrate my birthday, and i have a problem ..... i don't know how to mix drinks.

codeblue

I prefer the Canadian Whiskey's with either a splash of Coke or 7-up....that's an easy drink. (Canadian Whiskey has a very smooth blend)

Black Russians and White Russians are very easy to mix:....the recipes are right on the Kahlua bottle. You will need Vodka on hand for the Black Russian and it is an ALL liquor drink....

Please don't try ALL the cocktails..unless you don't want to be available for your party...lol

Here's to you and your party---

It finally arrived!

well after waiting a long six weeks and wondering everyday during that time was i going to get my new electric scooter and yes it finally arrived to one very happy orangefatcat.

it is a beautiful scooter full equipped and its fire engine red.

i took it out the other day and for the first time in years i was able to go around a beautiful park, talking to my neighbours, children, skaters, skateboards, families with their little ones and squirrels and birds and people greeting me and chating and some have puppies who try to get on board, well it was all so envigorating.

Good for you! There is nothing worse than feeling isolated and "stuck in the house"....

Emails from elders and CO

by Puternut in

jw
friends

yesterday i decided to send an email to all the elders, ministerial servants, co's and do's on my address book.

blondie had posted a series of links to articles relating to the abuse cases in the borg.

rather than emailing the links, which i knew they wouldn't click on, i copied and pasted, about 12 articles to them.

codeblue

I think Blondie's picture says it all!!! lol

Really, Puternut, good job for taking the time to mail all those uppercrusts...Their responses are quite typical. Because if they say anything different they KNOW what the consequences will be.

I showed a family member the UN letter, and the response was much like Dan-o's: " Well, you can't trust everything you read!!!"

Aggravated me to pieces, but remember, it could be their FIRST exposure to exposing major flaws in the org.

Someone once said, that when you show a flaw about the org., it is like someone putting down your best friend. First you will deny that your best friend could be so cruel, then you start believing it when more evidence comes in.

So Puternut...you have planted some evidence...

"Because They're A Cult"........

by minimus in

jw
friends

yesterday, a business associate asked me why jws would not celebrate a birthday, a bar mitzvah, or any other holiday.

he asked why they literally believed only 144,000 go to heaven.

he asked how they could celebrate everything 1 year and the next year, tell their families that everything is pagan........my answer to all of his questions, were "it's because they're a cult.

codeblue

Min---I hear ya...it took me years to realize they are a "cult" too...
