...is when people ask why i wasn't there.
usually i tell them, that i was sick, or not feeling well, which for the most part is true.
what is irritating is when someone presses it, especially someone you are closer with in the congregation.
Lets see, I did the instant fade thing. Email was not around then. All I did was changed my phone # and put up a do not disturb sign on my door.
They did knock for like 2 years. For 2 years they did not understand what do not disturb meant.
Like 12 years ago some lady "sister" asked me if I was a "brother" and looked at her like she was some kind of nut. I said I am my brother's brother but he lives out of town. wtf. She got really embrased and said never mind.
ok so many of you did not mind sitting and wasting time in a car while out in service because it beat banging on doors and trying to convince someone to join a religion that at least i could not fully explain even to myself much less someone else.
i agree sitting in a car beat banging on doors hands down.
but was it not crazy going door to door.
what is "people at the doors"
It sounds like children of the corn.
something i have not heard before on this board is waiting in the car out in service or any of the woman who were elders wives waiting on their husbands while in an elders meeting.. i was 24 years old when i got married to an older man he was 41 and had been an elder for about 12 years.
i truly loved my husband when we got married.
i truly loved him like crazy.
I was about 10 years old and I waited in the car for like an hour alone. My mother and a "sister" were at a "back call" . I entertaned my self by playing with the electric windows and killing ants with the cigerete lighter. They got back and the car did not start and my mom said whats that smell?
i did this today.
last night, the pretty little weather girl stated there would "be heavy rain marked by occasional thunderstorms.
" i thought to myself, great, hopefully its so bad when i awaken, anybody originally planning on going out, will just stay home.
I was maried and we were waiting for the bus for the big assembily in Tacoma. The bus came it was a school bus! I said fu** this.
We went home. She was ticked.
i was thinking of a few celebrities i have met over the years -.
neil diamond, matt damon, terry bradshaw, robert downey jr to name a few..
I met Nathan Knor. He told me not to play in the elevators.
I did alot of work for Richard Donner (Dick) and his wife at his house in the San Juan Islands
JFK gave me candy. Really.
he has been ill for some time, but it was still unexpected.
he was never a jw and i didn't really have a close relationship with him, since he remarried after my parents divorced.
i reunited with him in the mid 90's after over 10 years of not seeing him.. .
Sorry for you loss. However your memories with him will be always with you. My Dad shunned my brother but he made peace with him before he died.
mine was filled with shock and anger but mostly anger.
it made me feel that way because i have never been lied to like that growing up in the religion with it being all you know.
.
Its like passing a kidney stone.
so says the adventist ancestor of the wt.
(ok, distant relative....it's from 7th day, not 2nd day).
just another clergy frog croaking that they should be above the law.. the preacher took on marital counseling of a couple and started having a fling with the wife he was counseling.
If a Minister or Jw tresspasses around my neck of the woods they get shot!
todate, the beautful blondie has posted a staggering figure of 29331 posts out of 29349 since 2001. will she be in the genius book of record?
i think its going to be a challenge for shamus100 to catch on her.
never underestimate the speed of the monkey.. .
Id like her to to be on a Six Screens Conference call.
while we were jw, we uncountedly stated, that we have a hope to live forever on earth, now really think about it:.
dinosaurs lived here some 100 000 000 years ago.
pangea splited into continents some 300 000 000 years ago.
Here is another way looking at this. Each grain of sand on the beach equels one year. Thats a lot of years. But time the grains of sand by a trillion.
Thats only one beach. There will be no children babies ETC. Not a world Id like to live in. It just make no sense.
