the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!

according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.

can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

last night, i got up for work (third shift) everyone in the house is asleep.

after watching the movie "the ring" earlier that day with my neice and nephews, i started scaring myself with my thoughts.

my son's tv has a weird short and sometimes it comes on by itself...(one time i woke up around 5 am and saved by the bell was blaring in his room)...(now that's scary).

CZAR!

Alan, I used to get nightmares about Lady Elaine Fairchild from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood - only in my dreams she was twelve feet tall and could trip you with the wind!

Not only have I also had nightmares about her, There was a woman in our congregation who LOOKED like Lady Elaine Fairchild! And she was ALMOST that tall. She was very creepy and had a goat farm and her husband was an ex-drug addict who would twitch when he gave talks. Looking back , she was probably just a nice hippie lady who happened to look like the evil puppet.

Were You Affected By The Cliques In The Congregation????

every hall has their cliques.

elders and their family/friends always seem to have certain ones that they were close to.

i knew of only a few that didn't lament they never seemed to fit into the "clique".

When we got to high school, we kinda made a joke of all the JW girls being in a gang...we even had our own little hand symbol thingy too!

Thinking Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anyone ever think of the saying ..."bad things happen to good people"?.

i was making chicken noodle soup for my daughter for lunch and i had an hypothesis on this!

i know the subject did say crazy thinking!

Nancy Drake

Bad things happen to Good people. In that case I am not a bad person. Sometimes I think to myself am I making the right choice for me and my family mainly my kids.

Brooke,

When I left the JW's there were times that I prayed and God still helped me! That's how I knew for sure that I would never go back and that the JW's were wrong.

Then I found the key to life...when you are good to people and yourself, you'll be happy. If you're bad to people or yourself, you'll be unhappy. That's it. Very uncomplicated. Not to say that bad things won't happen in life along the way, but if you do good things and are good to people, you'll be happy. At least, that's what works for me!!! Maybe you'll find a different philosophy.

I think if you go back to the JW's, at this point you know they are full of it and you will be unhappy. The JW's did teach us good family values, though, and to follow the golden rule (of course many don't follow). I think those things were important, but you can take everything else in the Watchtower and Awake and pretty much toss it in the trash.

Love you Brooke!!!

Let's hear some funny sayings that kids come out with !

by hubert in

thanks, rabbit, you gave me the idea.. kids will come out with the funniest sayings, even though they themselves are serious when they say them.

like my grandaughter, whose 8 years old:.

while i am driving my "new " toyota she says to me, "grandpa, in a few years, are you going to get another car and get rid of this one"?

Nancy Drake

When my son was about 3 or 4, I was at Target with my son. There was a pregnant woman by us and my son asked me what was wrong with her belly. I explained to him that she was pregnant and that she was going to have a baby.

Pointing at her belly, he yelled, "Excuse me, Sir? Is there a baby in there?!"

(He used to get Sir and Ma'am mixed up a lot back then)

One day I told my five-year-old, "You're a great son."

He thought about it for a second and said "You're a great moon."

Anyway, I started to think, oh my god, what if the TV turns itself on right now I would freak out!!!

So, as I'm thinking this, I hear a man's voice coming from my son's room. I'm like, ok, it's one of his toys..but then I can hear it's a man just talking. So I run into my bedroom and make my boyfriend wake up...I'm screaming, "There's something going on in Jaysen's room! Please get up." I'm crying all hysterically like a nut job and he listens in my son's room and doesn't hear it.

As soon as he starts walking away, the guy started talking again and he finally hears it. So he snaps my son's light on and we can hear it and we're going through all his toys.

Turns out it was a walkie talkie under a bean bag chair...my nephew had been using it earlier that day and it was picking up some weird ass guy talking.

My boyfriend hugged me and said, "You're not allowed to watch scary movies ever again."

Bizarre Assembly Seating

by metatron in

jw
friends

once again, brothers try to strangely compensate for reduced attendance by roping.

off sections and compressing everybody into a smaller area.

is this nuts or what?.

Nancy Drake

....Well anyway she said to me that she loved me and cared for me I told her to walk away from me...Well she didn't and the I asked her if she was that stupid coming up to me and acting like nothing happened.

Brooke

LOL! I know who this is! She always acts like "nothing happened"

Also, I forgot all about those dumbass ropes...I can see why you didn't make a good JW. You always said what you thought and felt, and most of the time it was HILARIOUS!!!!

I'm so happy you are here....we can be apostate buddies forever!!!
