  A sampling of comedian Rodney Dangerfield's one-liners:
  
  "I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a cemetery plot. The guy said, 'There goes the neighbourhood!' "
  
  "When I was born, I was so ugly that the doctor slapped my mother."
  
  "When I started in show business, I played one club that was so far out, my act was reviewed in Field and Stream."
  
  "Every time I get in an elevator, the operator says the same thing to me: 'Basement?' "
  
  "When my parents got divorced, there was a custody fight over me. ... and no one showed up."
  
  "I never got girls when I was a kid. One girl told me, 'Come on over, there's nobody home.' I went over. There was nobody home."
  
  "When I was three years old, my parents got a dog. I was jealous of the dog, so they got rid of me."
  
  "When we got married, the first thing my wife did was put everything under both names -- hers and her mother's."
  
  "With my wife, I don't get no respect. The other night there was a knock on the front door. My wife told me to hide in the closet."
  
  "With my wife, I get no respect. I fell asleep with a cigarette in my hand. She lit it."
  
  You can't replace that...

  I'm so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law...and your Dad (he was one of the most patient men I knew)
  
  I'm not sure what I would say specifically to her, but from my experience with families in the org facing death in the eye, they still have a hard time facing the idea of losing a loved one...even with the their "resurrection hope". Your S-I-L no doubt wants to enjoy the rest of her life being the upbeat person she is and might enjoy having someone more upbeat to have around,so she might enjoy your good sense of humour. Why it might be hard to have a lighter view of life during times like this, I sure would'nt want to be surrounded by morose people if I only had a short time left.(maybe no Jehover jokes though) Just make yourself available, she might put aside your "not great association label" and want to see you now, even if it is only to "witness" to you. Course this is all IMO...

  I really appreciate the response I got last night when I got on line for the first time last night. I found it so encouraging today to read all or your responses. It's sad to hear the depression and sadness that the Jw's have caused in people's live. I do see a therapist thank goodness and find him to be so helpful. I can talk to him about anything. I've been in and out of the truth my whole life and of course am not sure if I have the right heart condition or not. I'm sure you've heard that before. Witnesses have no goals but the new system, I've seen this in my Mom and inlaws and other jw's. Everything is solely based on armageddon. I just can't live under my Mom's grasp or thumb shall I say anymore. We are talking about a total control freak. I did try to commit suicide but I am better now so don't worry, that's in the past, behind me. My husband Tim Horton and I have a 16 month and 13 year old so we are doing some real soul searching as to how we are going to raise our kids. Not brainwash, raise. You sound like a great bunch of people, I wish I couldmeet you all. Hugs, Mrs. Horton (I'm going to get a new computer name cause that sounds really old foogy)P.s Last week I told my father inlaw we might move in 5 years. He says "Oh armageddon will be here before that". Please!

  When we we're kids our bible studies felt like something out of a nazi concentration camp. Is that ironic or what? We would sit down and feel like the bible was being drilled into us. To this day I ask myself, if a witness came to my door would I say " I'm not interested" or would I take the magazines. I guess I'll never
  know. Now that my mom and my sister know that there's a chance that I'm leaving the truth they're really pushing it. So are my in-laws. They don't do it to my husband, just me? What should I do? I'm totally frustrated but don't want to cut off total family ties. Any advice?

  Thanks Rabbit How long were you a witness? What made you leave in the first place. I've been raised in the truth my whole life, what about you? I have some really juicy, interesting stories if you want to hear them some time. I'm sure you have some too.

Is that pathetic or what? It's my first time writing, so I guess that makes me an Ex JW virgin apostate watchamacolic. You tell me. It's a sad life isn't it, but amazingly I feel great.(Sorry it's my wife's first time posting,sorry for the confusion)

  Ethics, aesthetics, and morals

  by onacruse in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, in the course of tonight's prolonged conversation with one of you jwd recalcitrants .

  if, in fact, this life, this life, is all there is, and nothing remains after...no resurrection, no reincarnation, no transformation, no metamorphosis; that is to say--these bags of salt, water (and a few hydrocarbons and genetic variations thrown in for good measure) are all that we are, and all that we ever will be, and then "poof":.

  why should we refrain from whatever brings the "greatest" personal pleasure to our measured and time-limited existence?

  Even from a totally selfish point of view, I would argue that the golden rule works for your benefit in the long run. Maybe not provable, but eventually things will work out in your favor, even if it is only a warm fuzzy feeling

  What made you "see the light"?

  by hubert in

  2. friends

  i realize many (or all) of the ex-j.w.

  's in this forum have either gotten out of the org., faded, or in some way have come to the conclusion that the watchtower is not the "faithful and discreet slave", and is not the "true" religion that they claim to be.

  i am curious to know..... "what made you see the light"?.

  I thought a lot would get out after the 1914 generation change? Maybe they are gradually coming out of it. I thought it would be massive, like the 1975 armagheddon did.
