You ever just stop and listen to dubs and the way they talk?
by doodle-v ini went to get my hair done and my beautician happens to be a dub.
she has known me and my family for a long time and she has an idea that im "inactive" but thankfully she hasnt been really nosy otherwise i would take my business elsewhere.
anyway, i've long since faded and when i do go to get my hair done i manage to avoid all "jehoober" related conversation and have so far been successful.

OOOOOHHHHHHH The thought of spiders makes my skin crawl!!!!!! I live in the woods and we have LOTS of these wood spiders or some people call them wolf spiders. They are HUGE! They come out at night to hunt. They don't have webs and they carry their babies on their backs! They are really interesting, but very, very scary! One night I got up for the pee call and saw one on the wall. My husband took the dictionary and slammed it up against it! I had to clean the smear mark off the wall! Thats how big it was!!!

The Governing Body
by cameo in.
do you think the top men (the governing body) of the wts really believe they are proclaiming the truth??
or do you think some of them know the wts is a bunch of bunk.....and just don't care??.

I think they really think they've got the truth. But there may be a few that know and feel trapped in it and can't get out of all the lies.

Welcome to you Capk and Wild_Thing. I don't know about |3i|3|E..........I personally don't trust you one bit.
CapK,
I saw this in my own congregation too awhile back. When you're too old to be in their service, your kinda put out to pasture and forgotten about, especially those that end up in the nursing home. It's a sad thing. They're all too busy doing the all important work than showing love to those who don't have the strength to do it anymore......

Big 7, Barbies, Bikes, Baseball, Bouncing Babies No More!
by Valis inwent down for big 7 birthday party to wit the corporate executives at mattel are singing praises to jehovah i'm sure.
the ride down was great...except for the wind blowing north and me going south...eh the blubonnets aren't quite out in all thier texas glory yet so i didn't really bother.
i was much more interested in going down and spending the little time i had to see them both.

Did your family ever makeup holidays?
by MicStroz inthis may sound funny, but my family would celebrate every year a " gift day".
it would be in december but never the week of christmas.
we would get gifts for each other and have a family meal.

I'm new, where to start...
by Quietly Patient inhi everyone, i just wanted to sorta introduce myself and ask for some help...i've been lurking here for a while, i'm a 3rd generation witness, but thankfully never got baptized as i never liked being told what to do!
i've been fading for a good while now, ever since i moved out 7 years ago, only going to meetings and the memorial sporatically, of course with my mom and grandmother constantly pushing me to go back etc, etc, etc!
3 years ago i married a non jw, and i have a son who will be 2 soon, ever since i had him i kept feeling so guilty that i wasn't "doing the right thing" by him, and that if jehovah was going to judge him on my "works" then we both would be fried, that is such a horrible thought as a parent... anyway, i happened to do a search about who knows what approx.

Welcome QP,
It took me a long time to get over the brainwashing, but it does happen. Then I got angry for all the lost time in my life, going to meetings and studying and assemblies and special talks and SERVICE! How I wish I knew what I know now. You are still so young. Enjoy life and let your son enjoy it. Life is too short to spend in windowless kingdom halls sitting like zombies. Life is beautiful. Enjoy it!

Sheeplike behaviour?
by boa ink, i just have to relate one of the most ridiculous situations i've ever been in and it happened at bethel.. as most of you know, they have a monday night wt study.
(this makes 3 times you study the article if you prepare for it, attend monday, then again on sunday - jeece!
) since in canadian bethel there isn't enough room to have everyone in the kh they have there, they put others in 'satellite' rooms and hook up with video/sound.. anyway, one night, the study had ended and we were moving on to the song when the sound kicked out but the video still worked.

Yep! These people all act like robots or clones or something. Everyone does the same thing and they can't function outside the circle.
