i have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.
was it really that bad?
when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.
Brooke,
Our X presiding overseer (N.L.) told my dad I couldn't wear my green nail polish anymore because it was unlady-like.
Also he got mad because I would say yeah instead of yes. Because "yeah" didn't sound lady-like.
He also got mad because I would say "awesome" all the time.
Once I told him, "Your tie is awesome," and his loser ass said "Only Jehovah is awesome!"
LOL, Brooke, you caused a stir no matter what you did...Brownie girl.
when my father stepped down from being an elder in the congregation, due to him wanting to spend more time with the family, a lot of people were very curious as to why he did.
the shocking rumour started going around as to the reason why- my dad had been caught having gay sex in a car with another brother, and they were caught in the act by a pioneer sister in the congregation!.
on hearing the gossip dad actually couldn't speak for a whole 1/2 hour!
Someone said that I was a lesbian that married a guy so he could get his green card.
ok, i have a question that popped in my head!.
what is one song you listen to and you love but are to embarrassed to admit it!.
mine is by abba ....fernando!.
Lost in Love by Air Supply
LOL Brooke, Fernando...everytime that song comes on at work, I sing it at the top of my lungs! I make sure I sing the Fernando part very operatic!!!
i don't have too many crumby experiences, but i was just sitting here thinking about when i worked as a hostess at a local restaurant.
it was kind of a family-owned restaurant, and whoever had worked there for a long time still worked there no matter how @$@#^ their attitudes were.
i tried and tried to just be polite and have conversations with them but they didn't like me and were antagonizing me to the point of being in tears from the start.. there was one particular waitress who the men would walk in and specifically ask for..like walk up and whisper in your ear..."put me at a----'s table, please"..it wasn't too big of a mystery why all the men asked for her.. and one particular waitress made a habit of throwing the menu's at me when she wanted them put back after being used...like walk by me and throw them over her shoulder and i would be trying to catch them all.. there was also alot of he-said-she-said bullcrap.
I worked at a secretary for an auto repair shop. I knew nothing about cars or car parts, but the boss assured me that eerything would be ok.
I tried so hard to learn about cars so that I knew what was going on, because even being JUST a secretary I was always lost.
I kept getting parts mixed up, and all the guys thought I was a retard. I tried reaching out to them to be friendly, but they always treated me so mean like I was some kind of dumbass.
My boss forced me to learn how to drive stick, told me to drive a customers car around before I was ready and crashed it into another car because I forgot to put the break on when I started the car and it went flying backwards. Then I got in big trouble, even though I told my boss over and over that I wasn't ready to drive stick after one lesson.
I had so much stress from that job.
The worst thing that happened was that my boss was a JW and ratted me out to the elders for smoking cigarettes, even though his wife had me routinely check all the porn sites he visited. This is why I was disfellowshipped.
i'm pretty sure everyone has certain comfort foods, or foods that you could eat almost every day and not get tired of..i do anyway.. what foods is everyone here totally stuck on?
chocolate?
ice cream?
Sesame, orange, or General Tso's chicken or shrimp fried rice from a fast food Chinese restaurant.
Also, my boyfriends homemade chex mix and egg nog...have to be eaten together.
Yum!
this is what the garbage men left behind today.
the dude comes in a truck and presses a button to lift the bin and empty into the truck.
everytime he does all this crap is left over from spilling out of the bin.. apparently, the city worker doesn't even have to get out of his cushy seat to put excess into the garbage truck.
I called the Department of Public Works and spoke with a sanitation supervisor.
He says that they will monitor our dumpster and if we indeed need another one they can force the landlord to provide a larger or secondary bin.
Well see what happens.

Is that I-894 in the background? This might have been part of the territory for my old hall.
Almost...its 43 S....just past 894...actually the interchange is just a block north!

So, our tax dollars are going to have a special pick up and all that wasted gas come all the way back to our place, when this lazy ass could just get out of his truck and throw it in?
Also, he usually leaves this long trail of garbage down the driveway!
WTF!!
Anybody else ever have a garbage problem?
i'm new to this.
i want some ideas.
thank you.......
I just keep buying stuff until my credit card gets cut in half.
periodically, we post about what we realize were good fables that were spoken as "gospel".
smurfs running up and down the aisles of the hall is a well known one......any you remember???
?
I heard that at John Denver's concerts he would ask if there were any JW's in the audience and to please stand. Then he would play the national anthem.
That would be funny if it was true.
