misc goofy witness stuff

by joelbear in

we had a house near the kingdom hall where we always started out time when i was a pioneer.

there was never anyone home.

we always left a back copy.

Is this fair?

ok so some of you may know that i just divorced a man who has been a deadbeat dad to our son from the very start.

i left him shortly after we found out i was prego for several reasons including his not desiring to be there for me as i was scared and newly pregnant, he would rather continue to be an alchoholic loser, out all the time to the bars or in some chics bed or whatever.

so he has not paid any of the ordered child support (my son is almost a year old) he never showed up to any of our divorce hearings.

My poor girl!!

It's not fair, went through the same thing with Mike. I just gave up, too much frustration, and headaches, and stress for me. I just got a letter in the mail a couple of weeks ago saying they found him in Utah and are telling him to pay up after 5 yrs. He won't which is fine with me. He has a bench warrant too, for child support, so he'll never come back into the state, and there's nothing they can do to him while he's in Utah.

My only advice is if you're serious about getting money from him, file a petition to have his parental rights removed. If he were to sign, that would mean that he would give up all rights until DJ was 18. If he signs, then you don't have to go through anymore headaches with him. It would really hurt, but at least you'd know where you and DJ stand with him and you wouldn't have to fight him all the time. Love you lots, always thinking of you! hg

JW love in action: JWs fail to inform me when roommate of two years dies

by seattleniceguy in

when i was a witness, i shared a house with an elder/pioneer named herb.

herb was in his eighties, and he had paid off his two-bedroom house long ago, so he would offer the extra bedroom to local brothers.

it was a good deal, and herb got some company at the house, so everyone benefited.. for being in his eighties, herb was exceptionally fit.

Since I left the org about 9 yrs ago, many 'friends' young and old have died. Of course my Mother would wait the year or so to finally tell, it's like I'm not supposed to or allowed to grieve whenever everyone else did. Apparently I'm not good enough. For example a close friend of mine still just barely in the org had moved, and I tried desperately to find her to invite her to my wedding. I just couldn't track her down in time. 2 months after my wedding, my Mother informed me that she had died, someone had killed her, and on my wedding night. I still have trouble with that, thinking to myself, if I had only found her in time, maybe she would still be alive. I've come to peace with it more though, because I feel at times she's taking care of me and letting me know that it's okay, like she knows that I tried. It's a small comfort, especially knowing how sick the JW's are, not allowing me to grieve. hg

Coldplay and Saturday Night Live

by prophecor in

coldplay rocks!!

saturday night live just took me over the top with much of their comedy, an absolutely funny cartoon and coldplay.

it was the first time i've ever seen them perform live, they were truly awesome.

heatherg

I think you're right about SNL going through cycles. I still think the funniest was all the shows that had Adam Sandler, the big guy from Tommy Boy, and David something or other. Having major mental block today, sorry!!

Those guys made me laugh the hardest.

On another note, Coldplay rocks!!! hg

Do you still shudder at the sight of a Elder?

by kls in

i remember so long ago i thought elders were like a god and would always make sure i smiled at them and put on my innocent act in front of them .

even being out of the cult it took me years to finally get it through my head that they are human and not a god as they themselves think.

then one day a jw elder came to my door and at that time i had a newborn baby that i had been up with all night .

heatherg

i used to let them have that power over me but now i just feel sorry for them, so i don;t shudder. instead i just stare at them till they look away. hg

i just got a sneak peek at a letter to all congregations.

it will be read at this week's service meeting.

i can't remember it word for word but the gist is: .

Why should they get health coverage and new cars when most of the rest of the flock can't afford any of it, especially pioneers who bust their butts to put two pennys together. What a racket, I have no respect for them at all!!! hg
