i believe they are "cultlike" but i don't think they are a "cult"........and you?
Hmmmm, I've been thinking about this and when I read definitions, I have to be careful.
I believe they are "cultlike" but I don't think they are a "cult"........
Now MIN I'm going to change the words around:
I believe they are "ducklike" but I don't think they are a "duck"........
I don't know where I'm going with this; I just like saying "ducklike"...LOL

..... with my 7-year-old son!
last night, while i was still brushing my teeth, he crawled into my bed and laid his head on my pillow.
i jokingly told him that he wasn't supposed to be on my side of the bed and that he had to move.
The babies are perfect! It seems to me they could retain that beautiful spirit if there wasn't so much crap to deal with from school, TV, their parents bagagge, etc.
I have the privilege to raise my youngest daughter who is 6yrs ojd and her love and thoughtfulness never ceases to amaze and uplift her mother and I. I detect the negative stuff a little bit the older she gets and I can see how she could become a brooding teenager if I (we) don't watch myself...
A couple of weeks ago we fell into conflict and I started raising my voice because she wasn't paying attention. She stopped and said "Dada, I told you before that if I'm not listening, just take me upstairs to my room and hold me!" Her mother and I could barely respond with, "OH! Okay..." in amazement. She comes out with some great stuff sometimes. I think I better listen better because in my observations, she knows better than I do what she needs and consistently says and does things like this.
I guess, really I'm here to make sure she doesn't get hurt in her learning process instead of being a tyrant/dictator/authouritarian...

there's this place here in town called "babe's".
its soooooooooooooooo good, but the only drawback is that the hamburger is more grease and fat than it is meat.
they'll actually take the dripping fat with the spatula and throw it back in the burger and start smashing it in.
One of several 7/11's in downtown Wanchai (home of Suzy Wong) Hong Kong. I was told not to buy from the street vendors no matter how delicious the the food looked sooooo, I spotted some dim sum in a slow cooker at the 7/11. Biggest food mistake I made overseas! A couple of days later and a fifth of scotch, I was good as new...until I ate the road kill in the cafeteria a month later. It looked like broiled crow someone found...

I started group therapy in person with these two people. There are two of us with the same background: Male, Ex-dubs, physical, sexual and spiritual abuse survivours. It's hard work but, I do see some light...

it is sort of funny.
it is intriguing and a bit scarey.
i have had at least four striking experiences in which i was out and about doing stuff in settings no theocratic jw would ever be caught in.
I hear ya...
One of my best buds used to come by the house to talk business and we started talking about religion. When I told him I was a bible student he said 'Wait a minute...Are you one of them Jehovah's?' I went to explain and he burst out laughing. He was about to become an elder when he left! (He found an elder in bed with his wife. The other elders defended this man and tried to turn it around on my friend). Needless to say, he left.
I was floored to find out that my friend went through this nonesense/turmoil with the borg.
