being that this is the first father's day since my 'quiting'.. i anxiously went to the local hallmark store to see about getting my dad a card at the very least.... i'm one of those people who never buy cards in advance to have handy just in case.

no, when i have a card i want to send someone, i will always go through every card in the store in the area i am interested in and find the perfect card to show my sentiments of the person i am sending it to.. .

my father was never a jw.. his father died when he was 13 years old and he and his brother quit school and worked the farm and got gas station jobs, so their mother could keep the farm.

Sassy.........sending you many hugs.....wow, what courage it took to share this very personal story. I am glad you are able to "start" a relationship with your Dad...but so sorry that because of a religion it has taken so long to begin.

Just had another Co visit

by codeblue in

omg..........i am so nervous.... they only came cause 6 months ago, nodenial brought up a series of questions and the co asked if he could come back with the tattling brother (pm me if ya want to know about the tattling brother).

i came down about 5 minutes after primping........just got outta the shower, and got ready...almost came down "braless"...but my modesty wouldn't allow me (lol).

i looked at the co and said: you know the last time you visited, nobody ever introduced you to me......i knew you were the co but that's it"..(i said that because i wanted them to know i felt invisible).

The Celts in deep thought & just rambles some thoughts

don't mind me, i'm just thinking aloud.

life is a ruddy strange thing.

on the one hand it is so precious and beautiful, on the other it is worthless and the long deepest sleep of death seems so inviting.

Sorryyou are having such a "painful" day.

I will tell you what someone told me...When my soulmate walked out on my on 20 years of marriage, they told me that when I stopped looking for a soulmate....he would find me.

It took a couple of years......a couple of painful years.....and sure enough, when I stopped looking "he" found me.....

Good point Mulan........they think the husband thinks for his wife!!! (she can't think for her self, now, can she???) Ken and I talked about that point right after they left, even though it was obvious to him that they acted like I wasn't there during the hour.

SimpleSally: another good point....I never said anything about how I feel about anything!!! Can't point any fingers at me now.

Seeit: yes, you have to wonder what the heck the CO is thinking...acting like I am invisible...and he talked greatly about his "other half"...

SeattleNG: thanks for your concern...I agree with your observation too!!!

Eyes, what do they say about the real You?

by Celtic in

jw
friends

in the eye is the soul, what do your eyes say about the real you?

within the depths of your eyes, do they give away madness and anger, are they twinkly, fun and mischivious, do you have kind eyes and a gentle spirit, do your eyes say you have an inner wisdom, coupled with either joy or a great sadness?.

what do your eyes say about you?

codeblue

I have been often told my eyes tell it all.........just one look you you will know how I think or feel...........no guessing here!!!

JWD ....the opium of the Ex ?

by ScoobySnax in

jw
friends

marx reckoned religion was the opium of the people, i'm no marx, but i reckon jwd has become the opium of the exjws.

it satisfies a need, gives one a purpose, feels someone with a greater sense of purpose, trys to give one a purpose and reason for being here, and very closely becomes a "religion" of sorts to many.

many here claim they stay to help others out of the wbts, where in fact i think they stay because it has become their new "opium" its a focal point they can meet with like minded individuals to further their own new "belief".

codeblue

Nice try, but I don't believe that JWD is a "religion"...........far from it.

You have been here way longer than me to post such a topic. What is your point?????????? This isn't a religion........it is a discussion board....................understand???????

most jws seem to be "devout" in that they go to 5 meetings and out in field service.

yet, many also lived double lives.

were you a true-blue jw or were you a faker?

I was a "die hard believer"...do it all the way or no way....
