All the damage I have done

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

sometimes i think back at all the people i helped "into the truth".

all of those people now in the borg.

all of those people now under its control.. one of my regrets in life.. anyone else here ever think about this?.

Elsewhere...don't worry...be happy!

It wasn't you who bought them in...it was Jehovah's holy spirit...remember

hi there everyone, i have posted a few times but after reading some life stories i decided to put mine on here in a condensed version.i don't know about anyone else but it helps me to read other peoples life stories, kind of validates that "hey, i'm not crazy, it was the org.

that was so warped.

" ok, here goes...i was raised catholic-12 years of parochial school and all only to find myself pregnant at 18 and being told by the monseniour(higher-up priest, really old guy)that it would be bettter for my child to be born a bastard(exact word used) than for me to marry the unbelieving father-he was a baptist.

Thanks so much for sharing your story with us. Wow...you have been thru a lot.

I too have kids and their father still has that borg mentality....he is still an active JW. We have our trials and errors...but the kids seem to know what they want in life now. Mind you, they are old enough to tell their Dad what they DONT want.

I just thought I'd share a little story with you about my kids, their father and the memorial last week...my ex rang me and asked me if I would take them to the memorial. I have been out 4 years now...but despite our differences...I still want to meet my ex half way where the kids are concerned, we both agree to always put the kids first, not our own personal issues. He has asked for very little from me....and he knows that the kids now have birthdays and xmas etc...and he makes no serious effort to stop it from happening. With this in mind, I agreed to take them only on the condition that the kids wanted to go. Soooo...cutting a long story short...come memorial night...eldest daughter (16) had to work and she didn't make an effort to change her shift....middle child, son (13) tells me he has no meeting clothes and he "thinks" he has a headache ..kids...u gotta love em....and youngest child, daughter (11) said none of her meeting clothes fit anymore and she can't go, but she wanted me to tell her dad that she really really wanted to go. I found her meeting dresses rolled into a ball and tucked under her pillow lol.

Anyways...welcome and we look forward to seeing more of you.

I went to a funeral today

by Joyzabel in

my first outside of the jwdub world and i was amazed at the emotions i experienced.

about 50 people were there to support the family in their time of grief.

there was a graveside service for a baby that had died this week.

Beck_Melbourne

Sorry to hear that about the little one Joy...and how thoughtful it was of you to attend the graveside service. You are a lovely person.

I have never heard of that type of defect in a newborn before...it must be such a sad time for the parents.

I recently heard my first non-religious funeral service...there were no scriptures or promises of a time to be together etc...there seemed to be no messages of hope...it felt strange and it was hard to shake off that abandoned feeling. Even though most in attendance have differing opinions regarding death and life thereafter...we all seemed to agree that we needed to hear something comforting from the bible. My faith in the bible is a bit topsy turvy these days...but a scripture or a two wouldn't have gone amiss at that particular time. I guess I would have been a vulnerable target if JDubs were doing their rounds at Cemetaries that day

'Experiences' in Gay Nightclubs, Part Two!

by SYN in

since the first "'experiences' in gay nightclubs, part one" thread proved to be so popular (~400 hits in about a day!

), i figured i'd draw another 'experience' from my vast pool of, uh, 'service reports' and 'magazine routes' to share with you people.

this one is quite a bit worse.... so there i am, minding my own business, looking for one of my friends.

How I would love to walk in your shoes for just one day...you live a rather colourful life...I only see that sort of stuff on TV or on music video clips

I have never been to a gay bar...cos thats where gay people go...nah thats not why....its because I don't go to bars full stop. I am intrigued by the gay community however...I love watching gay guys talk and swoosh their hands with their flamboyant gestures...and I really really love watching transvestites with their over-exaggerated hair styles and make up. I'm not fascinated in them in a sexual way...I just find them entertaining.

I think gay guys are fascinating...but gay girls are rather erotic and can be quite captivating...there is something about the girl to girl thing...not that I am gay or bi...or am I???? *gulp*

Had my first easter dinner

by ashitaka in

jw
friends

well, i didn't participate in any other religious service (because i don't care to), but i had a wonderful easter day family dinner with my wife's family.

there are russian jews, catholics, agnostics and athiests in her family.

they all love each other dearly.

Beck_Melbourne

My kids had their first easter egg hunt...I bought them a basket each and Andy and I hid the chocolate eggs etc. They are too old to really get into it...but they loved the novelty of it...and were racing each other to find the most...but were happy to divide all their findings into equal amounts each. We didn't have a large family dinner this year...but the last two years we did...Andy's family are italian catholics and Aussies...so it is usually a grand affair with fish this and fish that...no meat etc. Its been a lot of fun...and I'm taking in all this paganism heartily.

Michael Jackson Wants JW As Nanny

by Dutchie in

jw
friends

i am watching the news and it was just reported that michael jackson adopted a biracial baby about three weeks ago.

he has a nanny for the other two children, but the baby proved to much for one nanny.

michael told her that she could have a helper with the stipulation that it be one of jehovahs witnesses.

Beck_Melbourne

I wonder if he thinks ALL JWs are good caregivers!! Do you think he will let the JW Nanny take a 'stick' to the kids like his JW Daddy??
