i decided to start this topic when ozziepost shared the experience of a bethel representative telling him and mrs. ozzie "and don't forget, we've got your children!
it's important for us to hear these experiences and to share them with each other.
it helps us tear down the mistaken beliefs that the incidents that happen to us are not isolated ones, but are in fact par for the course when one parts ways with the jws and wts.
I was 5 years old when the P.O. sat across from me at my mothers kitchen table and told me that I was "going to die at armageddon if you don't stop talking to your brother". My brother was 15 years older than me and was recently disfellowshipped. I was FIVE years old for God's sake. I wasn't baptized at that age.
I wonder how much he had to drink before he came over to my house that day. He was a known Alcholic (sp).
i remember that in the km one month a while back there was mention of people who where recording kingdom melodies but making them sound more modern.
where can you find this stuff?
i'm sure it's a scream.
Song #32. Let's salsa!!!!
well this happened to me a few weeks ago, but i chose to post it later because i'm paranoid.
anyway, i was riding in field service with an elder and our conversation turned to apostasy.
well, he turned it to apostasy because he usually dominates 99% of the conversations we have.but i digress, this is how our conversation went.
Ok so the society corrected the thinking of those people who thought that in 1975 the end was goign to come. But these people were thinking this because the society told them it would.
I wish I had a tape recorder in 1975. Those tapes would be GOLDEN.
lol you get a list of the dates that everyone predicts when the world will end and what will cause it.
lol.

i love my cats as if they were my own children.
i was there when they were born and even cut one of the umbilical cords.
they are part of my family and yes, i do pick them up, hug them and kiss them everyday.
Dimples.. Your black and white tuxedo cat could be my cats twin. I don't have a pic that I can post quickly.
those are the exact words of the po's wife today at the wt study.
i wrote them down as she said them.
the next comment by one of the servants was, "if we accept the authority of the faithful and discreet slave, we cannot go wrong.
Bonnie you just made me.........

My bunnies give me kisses.
one of my favorite movie quotes is from bill and teds excellent adventure: strange things are afoot at the circle k. (bill and ted said this after seeing themselves arrive from the future in a flying phone booth time machine.).
starting last week some very strange things have been happening.
first, on christmas day i got a phone call from my parents phone number.
I am happy for you elsewhere. Maybe there is hope for them.
this isnt my story to tell really, but the teller will never come on this board, nor will she ever discuss the topic.
so i am going to steal this story.. also, you must forgive me for talking about myself in more than flattering terms.
my mum fell pregnant at the age of 17 to a married man.
Half of knowing how to be a good mom is knowing what a bad mom is.
I understand how you feel. I am determined not to have my daughter hate me like I hate my mom. But I am pretty sure that if I tell my daughter how wonderful she is and encourage her to become what she wants and don't give her any rides home with a drunken mother that she won't hate me.
late last night i was driving up a major highway with three lanes going north.
at one point three "clever" people decided it would be fun to all line up across the three lanes and slow down.
they managed to bring the flow to traffic down from 70 mph to 45 mph for about 5 minutes.
Hats off to Elsewhere. I never expect a thread with this subject to be started by a man.
