When Your Parent Died

is there a part of you that died with them?

Is there a part of you that died with them?

Sure did!

I lost both parents within 2 months of each other. My Dad died April, 1998........and Mom died June 1998. It was as if she just didn't want to live without him. I can truly understand that bond.........because 2 years previous..........April 1996....my wife died at 46 years of age.

Part of me died several times within a couple of years.

It's funny running across this thread tonight because I just got off the phone with my still JW brother in law who I haven't talked to in 3 years. It was a good conversation and it was only about family welfare..........nothing JW whatsoever. There was a part of the conversation that brought something to my mind and I told him that since Joyce died (my wife) that I could sum up my life in two words..........IT SUCKS!

Now for a lot of things.....yeah....it sucks, but there is still a ton of happiness in what I am doing today. I just summed it up by thinking what life was when she was still here. It was the best even though JW thinking was the lifestyle. The same can be said about my parents. Life was good with them here.

Like the old saying as well as a song says.........."You don't know what you got til' it's gone"

What's Your Opinion of Waterboarding?

by minimus in

jw
friends

is it torture?

is it acceptable?

HappyDad

Satanus.......

I made the statement in my last post that that one was my last here on JWD. But when an uneducated idiot such as yourself comes up with a blatant lie about what I said, then I have to post again.

Once again you prove to be a person embellishing what another poster says..........in other words.............you are a lying bastard.............here is your quote.

happydad's god loves them, and they are not losers. Also, he claims that believers in his god need to go over there and kill those god believing bastards.

Also, he claims that believers in his god need to go over there and kill those god believing bastards.

Ok ASS.........please copy and paste this statement that you say I made! Oh...........you can't do it, can you? Because I never made this statement. If you had any intelligence at all, you would understand that all I stated that waterboarding should be used because of the terrorists wanting to kill YOU, YOUR FAMILY, and ME.

I've seen war......you jerk.........and it isn't pretty. Please reread my tyrade about everything I recently stated. I'm allowed my opinion too.....even though it isn't politically correct within the guidelines of the ilks of you and others whose only experience of suffering injustice was your treatment as a JW and when you left the JW's.

So please............before you make statements about what I said............make sure you are not creating a lie like you just did.

dawg...........

Maybe you need to be thrown into the midst of war to make you understand what is really happening. I wish that the draft would be enacted once again to show mealy mouth wimps like yourself in this country what real life survival in the midst of enemies is really like. You ............and others of your ilk need to be in the middle of firefights that make you cry for deliverance.

You need to thank and support those young men who volunteer to support our way of life. Until then........just keep smelling your own ass that your head is stuck in.

The comments about this have pissed me off to the point that this is my last comment here. You people are imposible.. You have come from a mind control cult as I have but you are not willing to progress to the next level.

All you want to do is carp about everything..........without any real dialog as what is necessary to move on. You just want to feel good and to hell with reality.

I'm done here. My life is fulfilled enough to move on and tell you bleeding hearts to kiss off. My life will be happy while you still swim in the swill of your past.

Good by JWD

HappyDad is gone...........life is too good and too short to associate with the losers of this forum.

To the rest who are not losers but people happy in their growth in becoming a part of humanity once again........I love you and so does God. (yeah....I know......the losers will tell me that there is no God) .......peace in your life. In the meantime.......check in to JWD from time to time to see how these whining losers are still complaining and being part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

You won't like what I have to say and I don't really care!

When it comes to people who want to destroy people as Americans or Canadians or anyone ANYWHERE.........they are called TERRORISTS.

TERRORISTS do not deserve any rights under any law or convention (such as Geneva) Their only goal is to kill you..........even if it means torture until you die.

All of you BLEEDING HEARTS here on JWD (I just wrote a list of your online names, but decided they don't have to be posted, because you and all the rest of us know who you are) need to take a real long look at what is happening. You are a potential victim of Muslim extremeism. Not all Muslims are this way, but forget the political and feel good DIVERSITY correctness for once and know that you and your family's lives are in danger. Please pull your heads out of your ass.

Don't you think for one minute that any one of them would slit your throat or the throat of your children to further their cause? Where are your minds for crying out loud?

By saying you don't like what our government is doing about the terrorism threat is like saying that you are on their side! Forget that this administration has been screwed up by Bush and his cohorts. No matter who is in charge......these people still want us dead. So hooray for Bush or whoever else is in control or was or will be in control. I'm happy that they have the balls to do what they do to protect my way of life. Do you want to give up your way of life to cowtow to these killers ......intent on destroying you...your relatives.....your children?

If they are caught in activities that show that they want to commit atrocities against citizens of another country or belief...........then I say......waterboarding and any means of getting them to spill the beans on their cohorts is acceptable.

Maybe some of you need to have one of your own family members die at their hands to change your FEEL GOOD attitude. Maybe you need what happened to Nick Berg...happen to one of your own family members to wake you up to the REAL world of terrorism. Maybe you have it a little too good in your life!

And to you bleeding hearts against waterboarding or any other means of interrogation, I'm sure you just think our soldiers are bad too! Those guys who are putting their lives on the line to protect your freedom to spout your bull$hite feel good opinions on JWD.

I'm glad that in my Vietman years........that interrogation saved the lives of many many many of my fellow soldiers.

If you didn't/don't have a family member who shed a drop of blood in defending your freedoms...then you just plain don't care. Why not buy a plane ticket and go and join the enemy. See how long you like the way of life there.\

Ok......so it's your turn to blast me...........go ahead.......put the rag on your head and behave just like the rest of the ones who want you and me dead.

HappyDad.................proud to be an American .............and an X

online web sites for practicing morse code

by ush419 in

jw
friends

does anyone know of any online web sites for copying morse code, i would like to stay in practice but don't have a receiver or equipment needed to ber up.

but would love to get a lot of practice in.

so if any out there know, would love to hear from you.

HappyDad

Hello ush,

I'm happy to know that someone wants to learn or get their code up to speed. Being a ham radio for 30 years, my code is pretty good these days. I can send code at over 30 WPM but my receiving is a little slower depending on how often I get on the bands.

There are several ham operators on JWD, but I don't know if they like code or not. My love is QRP CW and I'm having a ball with it.

There are many sites for online code practice. This is just one of them..

http://www.merrymeet.com/minow/MorsePractice/MorsePractice.html

My suggestion is to go to your keyword box and type in MORSE CODE PRACTICE

I did this and it brought up a lot of sites dedicated to this. You also might want to go the the ARRL home page and see if they have anything of interest.

Morse code might be a communication tool of the past, but it is not dead. In fact............the military in Iraq is using it again because the enemy doesn't really understand it these days. The phone and satellite communication there is subject to being listened to and understood, but CW is scrambled and very effective in what our guys are doing there.

If you need more info and are interested on becoming a "ham" just PM me.

HappyDad

Oh.........and another thing. If you want to know more about CW operating at QRP.........go to the web pages of NAQCC and K3WWP for more info.

Why would a young sister marry an old brother?

by JH in

jw
friends

i recall a ms brother about 62 years old dating and marrying a sister about 30 years younger.

i respect their choice and if they are in love, well good for them.

but i don't think it's to the best interest of the younger one...... do jw's accept bigger age differences in marriage than other religions?.

HappyDad

I love you all but sometines you say things that really piss me off... first off, I lived with an Asian lady for 4 years who was 25 years my jounior. So the post about Asians pissed me off and now you guys think people in the so called truth marry older men more than those outside. I've dated ladies younger than me, older than me, and the same age as me... loved things about all off them-hated things about all of them. If I found someone I loved whatever legal age, I'd enjoy their company... I've also dated ladies in every race.... I mean every race with the exception of Indian. They were all just people to me, plain and simple.... so for whomever thinks that us old guys are now some part of some sub species... you can kiss it!

Ummmmmmmmm...........Dude,

Your still wet behind the ears at your age. And I mean that as a complement.

I have dated an older woman. (5 years my senior) after my wife died. That was when I was still a JW and she wante to marry at once. In that same period, I dated a younger sister who also wanted to marry at once. Seems no matter what the age, to have sex, one needs to marry in the JW religion. So.......with both of them.......I decide on just being content with Mrs. Palm.

Then I started dating worldly women and really enjoyed every one I went out with. Some my age and one in particular who was 13 years younger than me. I guess it was my Harley at the time and not my charming personallity.

I just wish I could meet someone to spend the rest of my life with at this stage of the game. And now I have to say that age does matter. I don't want someone a whole lot younger than myself. About 2-7 years either way........someone with the same mindset. There is no way I could make a younger woman happy other than giving her a meal ticket.......and that is out of the question.

So.....young women marrying older men in my opinion.......is mainly a $$$$$$$ issue. But there are other reasons such as wanting a man who is mature. Sorry guys.......but most men today......the ones in their 30's are very immature. For crying out loud.......I was raising a family at 23 and a home owner to boot! Most guys I know in their 30's today are still living at home and playing video games.

I've heard it said that today's 60 year old's are the new 30. In the meantime, I just go with the flow and find happiness in a daily routine.

JW Stance On Joining The YMCA

by Justitia Themis in

i have been emailing with several jws in my congregation about the osce issue.

i pointed out the hypocrisy of not allowing us to join the ymca, but then having osce ngos.

one sister emailed me that a sister in her congregation just received a letter from the society stating that it is ok for her to to join the y. she needed to join for rehab purposes.

HappyDad

One sister emailed me that a sister in her congregation just received a letter from the Society stating that it IS OK for her to to join the Y.

Please find out if this is really true because Amber Rose who posts here was DF'd some months back for joining the Y for exercise. I'm sure she would love to throw that in the elders faces even though she might not want to go back.

It was stated on another thread that the "layoff's" were long over, so now I'm curious. Have any of the unlucky ones who were thrown to the wolves to fend for themselves turned against the 'tower?

Many of them haven't had a real job in decades and now have to rely on making enough to get by, and hopefully pay enough into Social Security to get something in their old age. I sure hope this has made some of them wake up.

It was also mentioned in an old thread that the 'tower would pay them a stipend of $500.00 a month to help them adjust into their new life. I also wonder if this stipend is permanent or will it eventually end. Personally, I would say that if they are really getting $omthing $$ from the 'tower, it will be for a limited period.

Just curious,

STOP THE MADNESS....where is this board going?

by SnakesInTheTower in

jw
friends

i've only posted since feb 07..but i have lurked for several years prior and there was usually something interesting on the board.

as i was reading the active topics list this morning, only a couple things jumped out at me as interesting...its been this way since the dgate and tgate incidents.... i was discussing this with a long time poster via im yesterday....does it seem to anyone else that so many of the topics are ...i dont know....odd...or different than they used to be...and i dont mean that in a good way.. i miss the newbies coming on and telling us their stories.... i miss the long time posters updating us on their lives post-borg... i guess with the recent uproar, the lurkers are hesitant to become newbies (cant say as i blame them now...we probably scared them off , and maybe the vets are just as hesitant...after all, someone went 2 years with their fraud/hoax...who will believe anyone else now?

i hope this is just a temporary cycle on this board..i have read many many posts from the archives...i hope one day soon we can get back to a happy medium here.. by the way, i like the fluff threads, but these seem to be more and more sex related (maybe that word will wake someone)... yet they get all the attention....and then someone goes too far and it gets locked down by a mod and the poster restricted......(i am not a prude...just sometimes enough is enough).

HappyDad

Hmmmmm.....since my comments on this thread were already made, I think a new thread needs to be addressed on what OTWO said.

Bethel layoffs are long over

Long live JWD,
