or do they want the world to fall in around your ears so that you might "turn back to jehovah"?.
do they think that if you had less happiness in life you would be driven back?.
my mum once exclaimed very bitterly that i had "landed on my feet" too many times and that i would probably have been back at the kh if things hadn't gone so well in my life.. englishman.

The opposite of love-bombing is unconditional love. Love-bombing is highly conditional.
Absolutely 100%, bang on centre, hit the nail on the head, spot on! It's all very overwhelming when you are a prospective CONNEDvert, but once you're in - you're no longer the centre of interest! Agape love indeed........
Bull!
just recently, npy and myself were at a party and the subject came up as to how we knew six.
i found myself hesitate to explain that our connection was that we had all been jehovah's witnesses.. after i told them...it was no big deal.
they all explained how they had been penecostal and catholic and they had their abusive stories to tell... we were all the same.. .
I think the WTBTS has as much power as we are prepared to give it...
When you're a dub, it's an all powerful, all knowing, infallible force.
Now that we're out - we see it for what it is - a group of men claiming to have the only vehicle in mankinds never-ending search to be closer to God. It has no hold over us any longer, or does it ???? Am I the only one here who still occasionally thinks 'dub' thoughts ? What about those of us unlucky enough to have family still inside - It still weilds a control over us that we write off as 'respect to their beleifs', when avoiding taboo subjects like birthdays, xmas, and even disfellowshipping - I know I have shyed away in the pst from talking to an old friend, 'out of respect'.....
Maybe it does have more power than we realise after all!!
Bull

mine is from friday, the movie with ice cube, where a couple of jw ladies wake up ice cube's character's family one morning and there's some mouthing off, and you wouldn't believe the nasty words coming out of these sweet looking old "sisters".
hilarious!.
My fave reference was from the Hale and Pace show...
The Management (2 hard looking doormen)
I like hanging baskets.... (looks up to see 2 feet dangling...)
"This ones a Jehovahs Witness"
Luv that sketch - LMAO just typing this!!

They sure do.....their type of happy...
I agree with you 100% there. IMO, I think it's fair to say that ALL our families truly want us to be happy, but when still under control of the JW cult (getting to like that word!), their perception of happiness is somewhat 'skewed'.
If you call unquestioning acceptance of control of my life, thoughts and feelings 'happiness', than quite honestly I'd prefer to be *miserable*...
.... at least then I wouldn't feel alone "Misery loves company"
Bull!
my husband and i have been married a little over a year now and it has been the happiest year of my life.
i have finally found someone that i truly love and that truly loves me.
he's also my best friend.
For mens duties, it's gotta be always putting the toilet lid down when you've been for a p*ss.
Womens duties, surrendering the remote control without so much of a whimper!
And in the words of Jim from The Vicar of Dibley.... "no no no no no no.... as much sex as possible...... with as many different wimmin as yer can" Truly wise words indeed!
Bull!
do any of you have cats that like to eat fruit?
the reason i ask is that my siamese loves fruit.
she would rather eat fruit than anything.
I've always had cats, and I luv em!!
I have a Chocolate Point Persian called Kashmir, that loves crisps!! First time I had a poppadum I thought he was going to have a seizure!! He let's you know he wants something by putting his paw on you. If you ignore him, the claws start pressing in!!! He's as gentle as they come.
My mom has a lovely 'moggie' that is playfully named 'Psychomog'. She'll sit and purr on your knee for ages, then all of a sudden growl and bite you, then run off!! Females, huh!!
One of my friends had a cat that loved to steal curry if you put your plate on the work surface.... I had an extremely hot curry one night - so hot I couldn't eat it in one sitting, so I put it in the kitchen. Later, we heard the cat hissing and went to see what was wrong, and it was growling at my curry, ears flattened, and batting the plate with it's paw!! We were in fits!!! Poor cat! LMAO!!
I won't give my cat Pork of any description - was told by a vet that they can't digest it properly. Think I'll look into that one a little deeper... see if it's just an urban myth.
Just a quick warning to all you 'cat lovers'.... beware, you're practice may be illegal in your country!!
Bull!
over the last couple of years i've been trying to experience activities and interests that would have been frowned upon when i was still a dub.one of the things that i've really developed a passion for is metal and hard rock, in particular metal really strikes a chord with me (pun intended).
i'm pretty much a big fan of almost anything metallica has done, i also dig a lot of the more recent groups like tool, a perfect cricle, sevendust, etc.. but there's still a lot of old school metal groups that i want to go back and listen to.
any suggestions on any good late 70's-80's metal bands?

I'm discovering the joy of ....... Heavy Petting!!!
Oh well, if you insist sweetie...! Sluuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrp
Looks like we'll need some practice... I think your tongue slipped into my mouth then!!!
Bull! <<of the 'suddenly weak at the knees' class>>

Cool topic - Metal Rules!!
Gretchen:
The Scorpions.... love that band
Just picked up a DVD of ballads by scorpions - excellent!!
Avishai:
Iron Maiden rules!!!!!
OOOOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!! Fave group!!!
As regards early rock / metal - most of the bands I listen to have been mentioned, but you may wanna try these too: -
Rainbow - Incredible band - Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore still considered one of the best ever!
Accept - Early German Metal band - very 'AC/DC'. Look out for 'Fast as a Shark', Metal Heart, and they did a concept album but can't remember the name.....anti war stuff!
Yngwie Malmsteen - credited with being the fastest guitar player ever!
Helloween - some early stuff is a bit 'raw' but Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1 and 2 are excellent!
Enjoy your journey into the metal world!!!
Bull!
