my neighbor didn't come on time, and her line was busy, so i went over to see if there was a problem.
she was cheerfully eating lunch, and by the time she finally made it over to my place it was 1 1/2 hours late.
she brought a printout from her elder (an old friend of her husband's .

there seems to be almost an equal number of men and women who profess to be of the 144000 destined fro heaven.
does the wt society really believe that, if so why don't they ever depict women in heaven.
its always men with beards which are an outward sign of rebellion on earth.
This is another thing that really bothered me growing up in the borg...I felt that women had know say in the cult...Have you ever heard the saying"Behind a good man is a good WOMEN" Well for me at that time it was my dad... I remember my first 'stir of the pot in the borg'....I wanted to be the person who held the mic.We had recieved 2 new mics for the hall. Two of the regular boys were not doing it (or aloud) any more. So I went to the 'Elders on my own and asked if I could do it.....Of course the answer was NO.......I called them on it and got in big trouble from them......but oh well, I made my point at a very young age.....still to this day, when I see my young childhood friends that arent in the borg anymore, they always comment on that....I mean really......why could a female not stand there with her dress on and hand a mic to someone.....They actually held service a 1/2 hour later because they were too busy giving me sh** in the basement of the hall on how I embarssed an elder in front of everyone asking..WHY the hell not? Is it bacause I am a girl?....needless to say, it never went over well but I made my point loud and clear.........by the way,does anyone know if this rule has changed? would be interested in knowing if a women could do it now......

my ex jw exhusband didn't care much about music.
he preferred the natural sounds of life to music.
i have a coworker who doesn't listen to music: she doesn't like it.
Music to me is like a breath of fresh air....The radio or sterio is on way more then the t.v......My family could not go without it

how would you rate yourself when it comes to making judgments of people?
do you try to give the benefit of the doubt or do you tend to make a quick judgment against another without considering all the facts?
I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt,until you screw me.Then I judge very quickly.

"which single incident do you consider to be most responsible for you leaving the the org"
There was no single incident for my family..There were many,from The adultry acted out in front of impressionable youths.(young teens)The disgusting behaviour from SOME elders and the lack of respect shown to the young adults in the "borg".These are the three top reasons my parents left, and I was right behind them..Actually you could say I was the leader of that pack...I really rebeled badly till I got my moms and dads attention to leave that cult...Bottem line was me or the relegion..I was damn serious about them never seeing me again if they did not do something about what was going on...Needless to say....They made their point there,and got the hell out...To this day I have the most respect for my parants....My dad left first,then mom followed 3 -4 months later....Mom and dad went and got me and promised me they would never return.....My grandmother is still a dedicated dub,but never ever shunned any of us...(even though she is in the wrong for doing this)...We did those alot of "so called friends" but now that I am adult,I know they were not our friends......sorry I started going off topic......
