Has any wife hosted a party and her husband got all the credit?

by codeblue in

how did that make you feel?

could you believe how "invisible you were made to feel" after you did most of the work, and received no recognition or appreciation?

This brings back memories of whem my wife was judging a beauty pageant and we rode with an older couple to the pageant. The older man told my wife that when they ask her what her hobbies were that she could say she enjoys cooking and cleaning the house. My wife spoke up very quickly and told him that she is a Registered Nurse working in an ICU and that she is also attend classes to get her Master's degree. I just sat back and smiled.

Another time we were shopping for funiture and the salesman automatically started talking to me and asking me what I wanted to spend. Then he make the comment that "she's spending all my money". I just laughed and said that she makes more money than I do. He got a real worried look on his face and started sucking up to my wife. I was priceless.

I'm happy to say that I passed with flying colors. I even recieved high marks on my fighting ability. I'm not trying to brag, well maybe a little. It's just so nice to be able to do the things you've always dreamed of doing without a bunch of religous hypocrits getting on your case.

If your out of the Borg or on your way out. Make sure you make time to do that special thing you've always wanted to do. You won't regret it.

So sick and tired of the double standard

for a group that constantly bitches about people needing to accomadate it's beliefs and practices, jw's sure are inflexible and intolerant.

i realize that we all already know that, but is of special irritation to me right now.

my oldest sister, who is faded and now regularly attends a worldly church, is getting married.

Hecklerboy

The same thing happened to me when I got married. I was out for over 4 years and my mother and sister refused to come to the wedding even when we told them we were having it outside so they didn't have to go into a church.

The funny thing is they said that coming to the wedding would be approving of me marrying a "worldly" person, but it's OK to come visit and stay the weekend with me and my "worldly" wife. What kind of reasoning is that? Also my mother was more than happy to attend both of my brother's weddings. She even participated in them. Her reasoning was he was never baptised so it was OK to attend, but since I was baptised it would be wrong. Go figure. Then my sister had the nerve to ask me why I didn't attend her wedding. I told her she didn't come to mine so why should I come to her's. She never did get it.

I can tell my mother regrets this decision now. She has practically said it outloud to me.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. Hard to believe I'm 35 today. I still feel like I'm only 27. They say you only as old as you think you are, so I guess I'm doing OK.

I finally went and did something I've always wanted to do growing up as a witness. I joined a Karate class. Man it is great. I've been in it for about 2 months. It's a great workout and I'm picking it up pretty quick. All those lies they told us about it being violent and religious is way off. They teach self-defense only and respect of others.

I go for my yellow belt test this weekend. Wish me luck!

What happened to Babylon the Great? Why is it still here?

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

have you seen bab-el-on the great?

she was here just a few minutes ago.. seriously, i was thinking back to the days of 1988 - when we first received the copy of the penultimate revelation book.

you know, the one with the red cover and the scary dragon pictures inside.. at that time, jw thinking was heightened to expect the imminent destruction of false religion.

Hecklerboy

Man I hated the Revelation book. I could never get over how the JW taught that almost all of the prophecies in Revalation applied to them I always thought is was pretty arrogant to think that a book written over 2000 years ago would pertain to a group of people living in our time. It just didn't make sense.

Does anyone else remember when they had "new light" about the signs in the heavens and we were told ignore the pictures of jets, satelites, and missles on a certain page. I always thought the was odd. It's like "OK Jehovah has changed his mind so just ignore all this stuff we wrote about this"

Happy Birthday Dude!!!

One more year and you can do what you want. Hopefully that means telling the witnesses to go take a flying leap.

I've noticed lately that I don't look down on other religions like I used to. I now realize everyone is doing there best to serve God the way they think he wants. I have a much more opem mind and love life even more.

I made a good friend on a mountain biking message board (MTBR.com). Found out we only live 30 minutes from each other and we were riding the same trails for years. Now we ride together all the time and host mountain biking get togethers for bikers from all over the country.

My wife tried to get me this morning. She called on her way home from work (Registered Nurse) and told me she got real sick during the night and had to go to the emergency room. When I ask what was wrong she said she was pregant. I thought for about a second and said "Nice try". She couldn't believe I didn't fall for it.

This got me thinking about the best one I pulled on my wife. She works night shift at the hospital and usally gets up at 4pm to start getting ready and leaves at 6pm. Well while she was asleep I snuck into the bedroom at 4pm and set all the clocks to 6pm. Then started shaking here and telling her to get up. I told her I fell asleep on the couch and that she needed to get up right away. When she saw the clock reading 6pm she about freaked. She jumped out of bed and started running around in a panic. I just started smiling and giggling. She looked at me like I was crazy and then it finally click. She just tackled me and started laughing.

So lets here you best April Fools joke.
