  Big Announcementitis - JWs and 'Postates

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is it with jehovah's witnesses and apostates and "big announcements" - they are as bad as each other.

  witnesses are always on about big announcements in the pipeline - just to end up being disappointed.

  like the time they reduced the pioneers hours - big wow.

  i was threatened with being taken off..during a time when my dad was desperately trying to get me back to the hall. I was told he didn't know who to leave his belongings to his step-granddaughter, his sister, or the other sister because he couldn't leave it to me or my brother cuz we wasn't living right which means wasn't going to the hall....I was like hell its your money do what you want with it...Of course that was said in my mind only but he never took me off the will...it was just a threat and no I didn't go to the hall at that time. I have been visiting lately tho.

  Recommend a GOOD film - no snakes, planes or spandex superheroes.

  it's been out a while and i know it's already been commented on here but i really enjoyed the village.

  the creation of fear and the control that it allows must surely strike a chord.. recently i saw christian bale in the machinist.

  bloody awesome!

  well dh took my first suggestion "Devdas". I so love Bollywood, I could suggest over 20 movies that are great but all Bollywood.

  So I'll have to suggest this loop -ta-loop movie. When I could afford digital cable this one kept me up all night...very interesting movie.

  i must still be programmed to think like a jw, cause i like to read articles about how bad things are going in the world.

  I'm obsessed with East Indian culture, movies, etc. I'm so very thankful for Netflix because I can watch all the Bollywood I want. No one understands my fascination but I'm addicted.

  I'm a cross-stitcher...It's a very tedious hobby but it cures my boredom when I'm waiting for my next Bollywood movie to come in the mail.

  When do you put a dog down?

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  im at my dads house at the moment and they have this dog thats 14 years old, and apparently this brand of dog has an average life expectancy of 10, so shes had a good innings.. now im not a dog owner, so its pretty easy for me to say i think they should put the dog down.

  my dads wife is very sentimental about the dog.

  i would say she was very attached to it, but for all her sentimentality, she has never walked the dog (its always been my dad) and she is not the one who gets up in the night with a mop and bucket - that'd be dad too.

  Sleep

  by Twitch in

  2. physical

  i once attended a seminar on sleep that was focused on the effects of shift work and how the constantly changing wake/sleep cycles can affect health and well being.

  i forget the name of this particular sleep researcher as it was a few years ago and i attend many seminars as a av technician.

  but what i learned was very informative and i'll take the opp to share what i remember.

  I work shift work myself and at the present time working night shift 12am-12noon...and in the process of moving...talk about time to sleep being screwed up...but this was very helpful....once i get situated with the move I'll probably be able to get more hours of sleep...but my shift constantly switches every month....

  My mom used to tell me i jumped and twitched alot in my sleep..i wonder if that is because my sleep time has always been screwed up since high school...im a self-proclaimed night owl so i rarely go to sleep, even on my off days, before 1 or 2 am even when i have to be back up at 6am..

  these tips are very helpful tho...

  reduce external stimuli ie. turn off all lights and sound (obvious but true)

  maintain a regular sleep/wake cycle where possible

  go for a good walk before bed to "burn" off excess physical and mental energy

  don't eat anything for 2-3 hours before bed

  try not to nap in the daytime. This "fragments" the sleep cycle and delays the normal night pattern.

  i will try some of them..can't do the turn all lights off one tho..yes i'm afraid of the dark..lol...can't sleep in total darkness..and i have the habit of going to sleep with the tv on and putting it on sleep mode so that i can have some type of noise to help me get to sleep..sometimes that backfires because something good will come on and i end up watching it instead of going to sleep.
