  I, too, was the good, innocent 18 year old pioneer witness girl. The guy I was head over heels for spent all his time with me but wanted to go to Bethel, so he didn't want to have a girlfriend. Finally, I got the courage up to tell him I loved him when we had been out with other kids that night. We conveniently lived on the same street, so I was following him as we driving home. He pulled into a TJ Maxx parking lot and I followed. After a lot of hemming and hawing, we finally kissed. It's true what they say about fireworks!! The sparks flew. That boy never did get to Bethel, but he's been married to me for 7 years!!

  Do you talk baby talk to your pets?

  i had this big macho guy who used to work for me and when i would stop by his trailer, (not kidding) to pick him up for work, (dui and again, not kidding) on his way out the door he would give his redhead, stripper girl friend, (see above) a peck on the cheek and walk over to his pit-bull, ( ) and just lavish all manner of love and affection on that big, ugly, and very stupid dog!

  i am not making this up!

  i would think, "what a looser!".

  I'm guilty!! My husband does too, though if he was doing the first time I saw him, I'd probably be creeped out!

  Were you illegally disfellowshipped?

  by hubert in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  based on "official" bible based doctrine, were you "illegally disfellowshipped?

  i have been reading many threads on disfellowsipping, and it makes me wonder if there were many who were disassociated, or thrown out of the org.

  for reasons other than what the watchtower officially teaches?

  I don't know that I was 'illegally disfellowshiped" but the reason for being df'ed was pretty weak. I became inactive and went a little crazy doing drugs and drinking. My cousin, also inactive, partied with me for long time. He and another inactive girl hooked up, partied with us and decided to go back to the cong. I don't know if they disclosed that they had been sleeping together, but they definitely ratted me out. The elders came and hunted me down. I met with them (I was clean at this point) confessed my sins and admitted my remorse. I also told them that I did not see myself returning to meetings anytime in the near future because of my anger with the congregation, etc. They sent me out to my car (as the meeting was starting, so all these jw's, including family members, saw me leaving crying), deliberated for five minute and called me back in. They told me that they were disfellowshipping me, not for the drugs and alcohol (they felt I was repentant), but because I would not commit to coming back to meetings!!!! I was outraged and stormed out of there, even though they begged me to stay and discss things. I have not and will not set foot in a kindgom hall ever again!!!

  My husband didn't know his father had been disfellowshipped until after our marriage. He was afraid to ask, but finally did. He had been disfellowshipped b/c he married a df'ed woman. (My husband's mother was his thrid wife.) His father was a very understanding man, very non judgemental. Knowing his history helped undstand why he was so tolerant and wise.

  Absolutely. I have a hard time believing that god - in whatever form you choose - would turn his/her back on someone who truly believes in him/her and lives a decent life. I don't profess to know what happens when we die, but I believe that as long as you strived to be a good person, you'll be okay, whatever the outcome is. That's just my opinion though.

  from time to time we like to share some good reads with each other on jwd, and now might be a good time to share with you what i'm reading this week.

  it's "the gate" by francois bizot which tells of his experiences as the only western prisoner to survive the khmer rouge in cambodia.

  in 1971, on a routine outing through the cambodian countryside, the young french ethnologist francois bizot is captured by the khmer rouge.

  Do you open the mail, even if it's not addressed to you?

  by Maverick in

  2. friends

  when i was married my wife would open all the mail, even personal letters sent to me or our daughter.

  i hated it!

  if the letters where from old friends of the female persuasion she would give them to me later, opened and often mangled, in the evening and want an explaination.

  I open bill and stuff. I never open personal letters addressed only to my husband though. When I was a teenager, my mom used to steam open my letters, read them, seal them and then give them to me. The violation of privacy made me crazy, I would never do that to anyone!!

  we all have different kinds of problems to worry and sometimes, it can put you down.
