aw man, what did I miss?
Dammit, I wanted to play the naughty catholic school girl. I even dressed up like one at halloween before Britney ever thought about it.
Just making sure, is this for real or are you just playing, coz I could imput some great interior ideas. Plus, you might need some first aid, and since Im studying to be one, I could prance around in my nurse's skirt.
Now turn your head and cough
family!
i told em that i knew an ostrich.
they didn't seem too enthused that i was talking to em either....i dunno, maybe it was just me !
Brummie I thought so, maybe thats why they wouldn't talk......prejudicial ostriches!

i was just reading thelisteners post from an earlier thread, and it got me thinking just how little time dubs have to associate togther.. it seems to be more and more the fact, that the only time dubs see each other to "associate" - if you can even call it that - is at meetings and conventions.. even at conventions though, the dubs are told not to go outside for lunch, regardless of whether it is a nice day of not.
(note, this may not be true at all conventions).
where is a jehovah's witness supposed to get this period of refreshment so he can do more?
When I was young, we also had a skating party on every sunday night, but we didnt rent out the rink, so there was always a little fun. During the 80s it seemed that there were a lot of teen get togthers in my congos, but thats when the congo had about 250 regular ones. Big families too, so lots of young ones. We lived on a lake, and our book study conducter also worked with my dad, so they were pretty tight. He lived on lake front property too, so there was always picnics and beach parties, going fishing, and fun had.
90s came along and we moved to a very rural community in appalachia. Apparently they don't do things the same in the bible belt. I got invited to Inter-congregation formal only a couple of times, some showers, pioneer couple would have teens over to study watchtower (always had to go), but I would say that I mainly did things with my friends, and we always got big groups together. One time we chaparoned a whole 5th grade class to go to Kings Island. It just happened to be Gay Pride day and some people standing in lines were pretty raunchy and were just making out and groping eachother in lines.
We were a pretty well-behaved bunch, but one mom said to this couple " I would appreciate it if you would get a room, really."
I was LMAO! She stood there and said, well I sure don't want to see him stick his tounge down his throat! "
She was soo funny, course she got real sick and then felt better. And when she got better from being sick, she got on her feet and disassociated herself, never to be seen again.
I guess she saw the real light :)
my friends were doing some spring cleaning the other day and they found an old copy of this video.
for grins, we decided to toss back a coke and whiskey or two and watch it.
it was a blast!
SNG, I always appreciated your intuitive posts, but really, what have you been smoken tonight? Must have been a really slow night for you to watch that I remember when that video first came out, and of courses, we had to watch it as SOON as it arrived from the lit counter It was nonsensical then, but even more surreal now. I would like to see it again, just for fun.
What a sick puppy I am, eh?
i'll share first.
here's what made my day so far .... .
~ fresh asparagus ... steamed ... slathered in butter.
Quiet time working on my psych paper while the baby naps.
The goodbye kiss and "I love you" that my hubby told me before he left for work.
And of course the biggest one: ITS FRIDAY!
*runs to go turn her radio on, we just got a brand new kicken station that plays nothing but 70 and early 80's its lovely.*
i was sitting here at work thinking what could i do to my other half this morning.
my brainstorming concluded that i should repent of my sins and make a request to get reinstated.
instead of calling her at home, i figured she was probably in front of her computer doing bills and such so i shot off an email.
LOL....Inconcieveable!
So you "clearly" wouldn't be able to choose the plate in front of you!
LOL... love people that have the same sense of humor as me
this has always troubled me:.
i was studying to be babtized although i was raised around the "truth" i still had to have an official study.
so i was taught that i had to go to jehovah in prayer stating my desire to be dedicated and babtized.
Yes.
I thought I was doing great, I was an UP with 15 hours a month, and went to high school part time during senior yr while having a 40 an hour wk job. I was on top of the world. But I alwasy wanted to wait to get baptized, I just felt like I didn't want to be pushed into anything, and low and behold, all the guilt that my mom laid on me finally got to me.
My baptism day was the only day that my parents ever told me they were proud of me. You want that sense of belonging sooo bad, you'll even get dunked in a pool in front of 2 thousand people. And I did it, but I wasnt elated or overjoyed afterwards, nothing still connected. It was always in the back of my mind "something is wrong". But I so desperately wanted that love and acceptance, I sold my soul for it. Eight years later, my fathers dead, my mother wont speak to me (she goes through her bouts) and life goes on. I try not to focus on the bad portion of my life, but rather always move forward. I am blessed now with a wonderful husband and a wonderful child of my own. It is my responsibility to make my own destiny, and I went out and found the love and acceptance that I needed so that my mothers "bad influences" dont spoil my "useful habits"

i've just learned from a trusted contact at thewatchtower.org 'norris', that the society intend to put a resolution to the congregations shortly - though definately not at the 'special talk' meeting next month.. here's the scary bit.
this resolution needs to be responded to by all baptized jehovah's witnesses.
we have not been able to get hold of the wording but have been informed it is intended to provide the brotherhood with the opportunity to affirm their loyalty to jehovah and his organization.
aw, gees guys give nic a break? I though it was a great april fools joke, just a little early
BTW, nic, you might want to see if you can get an admin to joke this over to jokes, just so "the stumbed faders" wont be shocked and appalled after reading this thread.
all I can say is you got me :) MelbatToast
....from my mom.
i hadn't heard from my parents since last summer after 2 fiery letters and me da'ing myself.
they even mentioned to my df'd sis how i "went apostate".
Hey Chess Monger: So sorry to here about your parents Its just amazing that a son they brought in the world they can dump off whenver they feel like it. Sounds like emotional blackmail to me.
If the WTBTS does anything for df'd-da'd people, it would definately be teaching them how NOT to raise their kids. And they wonder why their stats are declining.....They are the ones that are losing out on a great person- And one day when all these parents that reject their kids are all alone, they won't need to ask why.
(hugs) to you -ready for a rematch?
