  Shopping

  by RR in

  1. social
  2. humour

  a woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected a half-gallon of 2% milk, a carton of eggs, a quart of orange juice, a head of romaine lettuce, a 2 lb can of coffee, and a 1 lb package of bacon.

  as she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.

  while the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "you must be single".. the woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since, she was indeed single.

  Welcome Coolcat,

  You have come to a good place to ask questions and pour out your heartfelt feelings. There is a treasure of advice on this forum and you can find comfort here.

  Me.......I'm HappyDad because my own daughter who is my life...........also was able to get out of this crazy religion. I guess you could say that she and I have an advantage that others don't. We are out together!

  Which brings me to my point..

  You (and anyone else who wants too) can look at me as a surrogate father if that is what you need. I understand what young people feel to some extent and I will never condemn those feelings even if ........because of my age.......I don't agree 100 percent with them.

  Yeah.........I was an elder........and for awhile (according to my daughter..........and I have to agree with her......) I was a complete a$$ho9le who tried to force Brooklynism on my family.

  I am so happy that my eyes were opened. Now my life is complete and if I can be of help or even give a shoulder to cry on or a hug to say that I understand and love.........so be it!

  Hang on to your seat because if you stay here and continue to research a real life apart from the WT .......you are in for the ride of your life. It may be bumpy and jerky........but in the end.......you will know that it was worth it.

  Love and hugs from the old man............HappyDad

  Come to Western Pennsylvania on the outskirts of Pittsburgh. A place where you can still buy a beautiful house in a great neighborhood for less than $100,000. Most likely can get a really good house for $50,000 to $80,000 with reasonable taxes. And.................................a family can live pretty good on a combined income of less than $50,000.

  The same type of house that sells here for .......... let's say...........$80,000 will sell in Florida for around $200,000 and the one in Florida doesn't have a basement. That same house in California can get even more than in Florida.

  And the people here do say hello. The crime really isn't as bad as in most other cities. Just watch where you go!

  The only other place I would consider living is upstate New York..............if I had double the income that I do.

  ITIS and FL...........

  Man, my heart goes out to you. Just more proof to me that this religion is fu@$ed up and dangerous even though it took me 30+ years to figure that out.

  Stay close to your family who loves you unconditionally.

  Gosh.......when I met you ITIS...I didn't see any evidence of horny protrusions coming out of your forehead. There was nothing Satanic about you at all. On the other hand...........I kinda thought you and the family were somewhat a "perfect" family.

  Stay humble and remain teachable to the real truth.

  Oh yeah.............I just remembered!

  If you are familiar with Danny Hazard's story, he had his tires slashed by these "zealous lovers of truth."

  But then again, anything they do is not bad, it's theocratic warfare in the literal sense. They most likely think that their God is smiling at them for this "jihad."

  .. I think we should press charges.

  Yep........I think you should press charges too!

  In essence, it really was a hate crime according to the new laws regarding criminal activity toward persons because of race, religion, etc. Why not get this to the public? Do you have a radio or TV investigative reporter in your area who thrives on this sort of thing? They would do a really good job informing the public how JW's view and treat those who no longer want to remain in the cult.

  This is not something you and your husband want to be nice guys about. Who is to say what they could or would do again after a few beers on a holiday they don't publicly celebrate.

  Good luck in however you persue this and please keep us informed.

  Since it was raining, overcast, and no one had ever seen stars before......because of the water canopy, Noah might have used this.

  More JW folklore

  folklore, wives tales, or jw bs, whatever you want to call it, i am sure it will pass around the globe in record time and become an honest to goodness truth.. .

  prayers of children (experience).

  this experience was given at a circuit assembly in california.

  Wow LG,

  I heard that experience in the mid to late 1970's here in the Pittsburgh area. I knew the "sister" who told this and also knew her husband. She claimed that friends of hers in another state personally knew this couple who adopted this Vietmamese boy.

  Of course, back then we all thought it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised this and other stories of "miraculous" intervention are still going around.

  Today however, I think it is just more JW BS.

  My suicide attempt yesterday...

  just when you think life could not possibly kick you in the teeth any worse something like james browns passing blind sides you.

  after listening to "i feel good" several times, including a half hearted attempt to dance to it, i swallowed an entire package of m&ms and drank a half pint of brandy.

  fortunately my wife found me in time and forced me to drink a scotch and soda.

  Gregor.............. Your topic is misleading and the content of your post is not funny at all. Please THINK before you make another post..trying to be funny..... at the expense of someone who has meant a lot to some of us and who has died and for those who have survived suicide attempts because of the lack of love and understanding that your post seems to reflect. I know you meant well.........but........"Please Please Please"..........there are some of us who have survived ......only because of lyrics such as the ones James Brown put on his recordings. "I Feel Good" HappyDad
