Daughter Update

by Corvin in

jw
friends

many of you, along with your warm responses to my post regarding the lump on my daughter's thyroid, asked me to keep you posted on her condition.

i took her to the doctor today for a needle biopsy.

it was short and sweet.

Thinking of you and your daughter Corvin. The waiting for an answer must be unbearable. Wishing you and your daughter as much peace as you can muster in such a situation. Thank you for keeping us posted on the situation and please continue to let us know the status. Warmest Regards.

"We must hate (the Disfellowshipped person) in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme active aversion, to consider (the Disfellowshipped person) as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest." (The Watchtower October 1st 1952 Issue, Page 599)

Down you dirty, filthy, loathsome dogs and lick the excrement from the Society's boot! Debase yourself and return to the loving arrangement that has been prepared for you! Good Lord...who could ever write a reinstatement letter after reading that?

Great work! It makes my blood boil, but it is necesarry information. Thanks.

Cruzanheart:

I detected a definite note of regret in one of those quotes that we don't still live in the days when people were stoned to death for various offences. Such nice people.

I got the exact same read: "What a shame we can't kill them like in the old days." How did I ever stay in such a twisted religion for so long? That makes me madder than the actual things they say sometimes. Oh well...I am out and free now.

Memory Lane

by exjdub in

mrs. exjdub and i were talking about the jwd board the other night and, after discussing many of the topics that are on the board, we started reminiscing.

pretty soon we started laughing until we had tears in our eyes remembering the "joy" of conventions in the old days.

mrs. exj remembers camping in scarborough, maine during the convention and waking up in the morning to damp sleeping bags from the moisture in the air, trying to run to the community showers before the session, feeling dirty all of the time because of the dust, sitting in the blazing sun at the racetrack, getting rained on, etc.

The only good part about that experience was the scorchingly hot brother that I got to lean on

And here I thought that all the faithful sisters had nothing but pure thoughts all of the time insomniac. lol

All the stories are great and I really enjoyed them. We put up with a lot didn't we? Can you imagine someone getting us to do any of this now? NO WAY!

By the way, if the thread is not completely dead yet...does anyone remember circling around and around and around the stadiums and colleseums checking out all of the hot sisters? (or brothers as the case may be). We used to circle so much we about wore holes in our shoes!

Codeblue,

whiskey was wisikey (I know you are wondering why a 2 year old would talk about whiskey...lol)

That one's easy...how else are you supposed to stay up with a 2 year old if you don't get 'em sloshed?

One more thing that popped into my head...

Remember the smell of the bathrooms at the district conventions? Indescribable. I used to try and hold my breath, dash in, try not to whizz on myself, and dash out without taking another breath. The poor sisters couldn't do that because of the god awful lines they had to endure. My wife always said the trick to the sisters' bathrooms were to go during the drama because everyone was siezed by the excitement of such fine acting and lip synching.

Franklin,

I remember those loud speakers well! Remember the echo? I was at Yankee Stadium for an international convention and remember one of the GB droning on and on with the echo, it was hot, it was boring...I was miserable. On top of that...my sister met her husband to be there who turned out to be a real tool...and by tool I don't mean a useful object. He is still an elder, which I guess makes him a bigger tool.

Throwing mags away in public places

i did a search and couldn't find another post on this subject, so i hope this hasn't been addressed too recently already.... i systematically throw away wtbts literature that i find in public places (restrooms, and most recently, eight, count 'em, eight mags at the train station that had about 20 chairs in it (four sets of the same magazines--someone had a good month!

) i rolled them up and deposited them into the trash, my father was shocked and said that people should be given the chance to read them.

i said i was saving people from exposure from a cult.

To me, it's like tossing a moldy loaf of bread.

hahahahahahaaahah! Corvin, you are on a tear this week. Your scathing wit is on a new scale and I have been enjoying it.

8 day assemblies

I am old enough to remember 7 day assemblies...but 8 day assemblies? That is the definition of hell right there!

Sassy: Those are the ones you can look back on and laugh, but at the time it must have been the worse...but then again, you had your wits about you enough to go into the boys tent! Your instincts were good even back then eh? lol
