religion sells hope
by Omegaman inkarl marx had it right when he said religion is opium (drug) for the people.
think about it, when a person is on drugs they feel wonderful, they would appear happy if you asked them how they feel they would say on top of the world very happy..but the reality is they may have lost their home, bank accounts, family and have nothing tangible to show for there lives.
does this sound familiar?.

One might as well believe in the tooth fairy, magic wands and Santa Clause.
Hey everyone needs something to believe in as long as it causes no harm.....can't say that about the WTS.

Bitter!!
by Gill induring many of my discussions with my parents about the wt and what i feel about their book publishing company, my mother loves to hurl the word 'bitter!
' you're bitter!
you're bitter because you know we're right!

So, how do you fell when dubbies hurl the word 'Bitter' at you? Does it still annoy you or does it amuse you as a mark of the strength of mind control on your former friends and family? Did you used to accuse apostates of being 'bitter'?
I know at one time when I was a JW I used to think of apostates as being bitter and disillusioned. By the time I had worked out my own disillusionment the bitterness had left and I would have to say it is rather amusing when ever I hear a JW use that term. I do understand why having been there done that. I guess I could only offer one reply to any JW.......never say never.

I feel like bitching! :)
by onacruse inso i laid 1500 sf of sod thursday (approx 2,000 #), and unloaded 1500 # of sand yesterday, and did a whole lot of roto-tilling and raking and dog-turd scooping, not to mention the idiot "helpers" at home depot.. anyway, my poor old body (54 years old) foolishly listened to my 18-year old brain and said (like that little devil on the shoulder): "sure, you can do it, you can do it!!!".
lol.
pain is life, and life is pain.

LOL
I really couldn't believe the determination in ona to get this done! Sod delivered at 8 am....by 9 he had almost one pallet laid out.....I was leaving for work at 10 and he said when I get home the whole back yard will be done. Ha! I had my doubts and really didn't want him to push himself, man that is a lot of sod! We have a huge back yard!
Well I'm be darned if I didn't have a back yard good enough to go putting in (I'm seriously thinking of taking up golf) when I got home 5 hours later! Ona was so proud of himself! So was I, that and impressed! Wow what instant green does for a backyard is awesome!
So one happy wife, one happy puppy and one very tired, cranky, and achy husband......such is life!
And now it's raining all over my bags of sand...1500# turns into 2,000# in an instant.
......yeah there will be no pavers going in anytime soon.......looks like we're in for a few days of the wet stuff....if I didn't know better I would think he prayed for rain!
Well I'll post up some before and after pics soon as I can figure out my digital camera.....now I've got to get to the painting project we started a couple of weeks ago, sigh.
Yeah work, women and bitching........hey did I mention how tired my finger is from waving it at ona? LOL

Anyone here drop out of high school pre 1975?
by Threestars injust wondering.
and if so, were you able to go back later on and finish?
i barely made it in under the wire, so to speak, but my three younger siblings had to quit (our dad made them--he said they would be better off "pioneering" but in reality he put them to work in a gardening business he started since he had quit his job and maxed his credit cards--waiting for "the end".

I was to graduate the class of 1970 and engaged to get married date set for August 1969 so being the rebellious teenager I was I walked into the counselor's office and quit school right before winter break 1968. Never went back to that high school, however when my Dad found out I quit school sometime in January when he came home from work early and I was home (still don't know why my JW Mom didn't tell him I had quit school?) he told me he would not sign for me to get married that Auguest unless I had graduated high school, now 1½ years behind grad date!
Silly me enrolled into Continuation School and finished all of my junior and senior year the day before I got married in August of '69. Silly, silly, silly me! *kicks self*
We were of that generation where the WTS said you must be engaged to be married or no dating, grrrrrrrrrr!

Do I sound bitter?.....(email to mom)
by *jeremiah* inon a mac, i hope this formats correctly.
my 1st email and question:
(salutations)

Actually Jeremiah from what I read your email sounded very loving and sincere but you've missed the point of who is bitter and allowed her to push her bitterness onto you, in psyc terms it's called projection. Let me show you:
Her reply: I am sure that you have another motive for asking this question, other than you are really wondering. I will answer it, but I will not go back and forth in debate over this, so please do not respond. I don't want to debate with you. Jesus was the Passover Lamb and the memorial replaced the passover and the covenant that the Israelites celebrated on the very day. Many of the things in the past were representative of or pointed forward to the new covenant and the new Lamb. When the Israelites left Egypt many alien residents (non-Israelites) left with them. They were not a part of the Mosaic covenant, but could benefit by aligning themselves to the nation of Israel. They were also under obligation to keep all the laws including celebrating the Passover. (Ex. 12: 14-19) So like them we deeply love and appreciate of what Jesus did for all mankind. We go as observers of that wonderful covenant that Jehovah instituted for the good of all who want to benefit from it. It makes me sad that you are so bitter. Holding grudges and bitterness never is healthy. **I love you and think of you often.** = this is the qualifier, how could you do this to me/us? Putting the guilt on you!
I would love to have a relationship with you! Butyou are the one that made the choice, knowing in advance what the consequences would be. So you made the choice not us. You could have just stopped going to meetings.
Love, MomIf ever you are wondering if someone is projecting their feelings onto you picture this; when they are pointing their finger at you three are pointing back at themselves.Using "you" statements is a huge tip off too.
Sorry you have to endure this kind of conditional relationship with your family but get clear that she is projecting her bitterness onto you and it's emotional black male at it's finest. It's her baggage don't carry it around, just let it go.

Wish me luck
by jillbedford ini have a big race tomorrow.
i am running in the knoxville half-marathon tomorrow morning.
i have trained hard for this.

finished in 3:07. But I thought about you folks and tried to push to have the best time I could.
As a side note, I passed out right after I crossed the finish line and was dragged to the med tent. I am fine but I struggled physically with this half marathon. I think I may have been dehydrayed from the meds from the phuemonia.
Congrats to you Jill on your time and on doing the race at all. I'm really surprised you were released from your Doctor to do it, I had pneumonia and a scheduled 100K bike event 4 weeks out and my Doc wouldn't release me to do it he wanted me off the bike for at least 6 weeks to give myself a chance to fully recoup, in hindsight I'm glad he insisted pneumonia really knocked the crap outa me it took forever to get over it. I hope you don't have a relapse, please take very good care of yourself and get lots of rest!
I hope all goes well with your daughter as well.
