  then caught an average, albeit very bloody coho (silver) salmon.. .

  then, the big surprise came with a small thresher shark.

  Then, the big surprise came with a small thresher shark. Thought it was a big salmon due to the fury of the fight. Strong fish.

  The business end of the thresher:

  Next came a beauty of a chinook. Almost 40 lbs!!

  Here's a look at the bounty.

  Some nickel-bright coho on the tailgate of my truck:

  Tonight, the fish brine. Tomorrow, I spend the day smoking them. Mmmmmmmm......smoked salmon.

  Why should you always take at least two JWs fishing with you?

  Because if you take only one, he'll drink all of your beer.

  there are many new posters here, and i'm very interested to learn why you chose your screen names.. .

  one book i read, the mists of avalon, was very important to me.

  among the main characters was merlin, who in the book, was called "taliesen".

  Just like Mad Sweeney, my handle is also the name of a character from a Neil Gaiman book - American Gods.

  Low-Key Lysmith = Loki Lie-Smith or Loki the Trickster from the Norse pantheon. Loki was Thor's brother.

  Hello there everyone.

  i'm a long time lurker here.. i'm not and never have been a jw, but i am trying to get an understanding of what it means to be disfellowshipped for the sake of someone i know.. my husband and i pastor a small church, we're nothing special, just a group of people who get together to seek god.

  we're open to everyone and people pop in as they want to.

  recently a woman in her early twenties has started turning up.

  Generally, the largest casualty of one's exodus from this vile cult is their sense of worth. Hoplessness and lonliness are large factors too. Just being there to listen and offer encouragement are likely the best things you could do for her at this point.

  Sadly, detoxing from the brainwashing and feelings of guilt is a long process. This person needs to be shown that "worldly" (non-JW) persons are not all self-pleasing, wicked sociopaths that the WTBTS would make them out to be. You are brainwashed to believe that there is no quality of life outside of the organization. She needs to be shown otherwise. Again, these things take time. Invitations to social functions will really help. She may not accept at first, but she will begin to realize that there are people out there who might sincerely enjoy her company. Most JWs have terrible social skills when it comes to interacting with the real world and as a result, can tend to be very shy and introverted.

  It would seem that you are handling this situation the right way. Just be kind, supportive, and let her move at her own pace. She will come around. Likely, the thing she needs most right now are friends. REAL friends. Not the conditional friendships that she has grown up with.

  Hope this helps.

  Sincerely,

  -Breck

  Since You've Left The Organization Have You Turned Into A "Bad" Boy or Girl?

  the witnesses say that if you leave the religion you will become a very vile person.

  you will probably get vd.

  you will get into drugs and booze, your life will go to hell.. personally, i've been pretty much the same guy although i would now be viewed as a "fornicator".

  I was 18 when I was DF'd. I went absolutely bat-shit crazy with vices for a few years after that. I experimented heavily with drugs (pretty much all of them with the exception of injecting anything into my veins, thank goodness), took up cigarettes, drank myself into oblivion regularly, got heavily tattooed, and became a bonafide man-slut.

  I've calmed down considerably over the last 10 years or so, however. I have a great career, a nice house, nice cars, a beautiful wife, and all that other good stuff. I work in the liquor industry as a whisk(e)y brand ambassador, so booze is part of the job. I keep it pretty much in check though and rarely get drunk. Aside from the occasional puff or two of weed, I pretty much stay clear of narcotics.I kicked the cig habit cold-turkey about 6 years ago, but still enjoy a nice cigar maybe once or twice a week with a dram of good single malt.

  I don't have any regrets though in regards to my past habits. They have all made me the man I am today, and I'm pretty happy with who I have become. I wouldn't say that I am currently a "bad boy", but I sure used to be.
