by stan livedeath in

a sexually active woman tells her plastic surgeon that she wanted her ******l lips reduced in size because they were too loose and floppy.

out of embarrassment she insisted that the surgery be kept a secret and the surgeon agreed.

awakening from the anaesthesia after the surgery she found 3 roses carefully placed beside her on the bed.

A sexually active woman tells her plastic surgeon that she wanted her ******l lips reduced in size because they were too loose and floppy. Out of embarrassment she insisted that the surgery be kept a secret and the surgeon agreed. Awakening from the anaesthesia after the surgery she found 3 roses carefully placed beside her on the bed. Outraged, she immediately calls in the doctor. 'I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about my operation!' The surgeon told her he had carried out her wish for confidentiality and that the first rose was from him: 'I felt sad because you went through this all by yourself.' 'The second rose is from my nurse. She assisted me in the surgery and understood because she had had the same procedure done some time ago.'

'And what about the third rose ?'

'That's from a man upstairs in the burns unit. He wanted to thank you for his new ears.'

New releases at annual meeting??

by _Morpheus in

this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.

instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.

what is their thinking?

stan livedeath

so --what constitutes a regional assembly ? what is a region--a country ?

i never went to an assembly after about 1970. back then it was circuit and district assemblies--and international conventions every few years.

Concealed carry Dubs

by scruffmcbuff in

i spent a considerable length of time living and working in america (would love to imigrate one day).. almost everyone i worked with and made friends with carried a concealed firearm of somesort.

i found this pretty interesting and as an avid firearm fan even more so.. so to our american members here... .

as a jw did you or did you know any practising dubs who carried or if not had firearms for home defence?

stan livedeath

why would you want to go to live in America, Scruff?

Ex jw memorial

by lancelink in

recently a young person who was df'd died.

as you can imagine, there will be no talk at the hall.. well, enter some very courageous other young ex jw's who had their own memorial.. these people got together , and had a bonfire in memory of our friend.

and since we have hardly seen each other in over ten years, the conversation and tears flowed all night.. it just amazes me how all the parents of these grown up, normal young people think that ignoring their children is something that god approves of.

stan livedeath

this hits home to me.

my son--now 42, was d/f a few years ago. i hadnt had any contact with him for 30 years. now--we are good mates. he is done with the cult. he has remarried--a lovely 3 year old son---the only grandchild i have ever met or spoken with.

his mother--my born in first wife..totally shuns him. never met her grandson.. what a waste.

altogether now--ITS A CULT...and i hate it.

It's a shame isn't it?

by freddo in

jw
friends

... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..

stan livedeath

i have no interest in politics--especially if its in a different country to the UK. theres nothing i can do about it. i dont vote any more either.

JW's Would Stay With The Org Even If 1914 Was Dropped

by pale.emperor in

i asked the question on quora: .

if the governing body abandoned the 1914 teaching, would you leave jehovah's witnesses or you would remain a member regardless?.

a lot of dubs would stay with the org--even if it packed up. they arent the sharpest tools in the box--and need to be told when to wipe their spiritual arses.
