Careful, Elsewhere. Addictions can lead to deviant behavior.

ok, it isn't really crack... but it might as well be!.
i have to be very careful not to leave any plastic bags anywhere around my apartment or my cat will try to eat it.
i'm always paying close attention to the plastic bags that i bring home from the store... they all go straight in to a covered trash can so that the cat can't get them.. now, for the last two days he has been puking all over the place and i can't find any plastic that he might have been eating off of... but i am finding the plastic in his puke... so i know thats what is going one.

i used to install double-glazing, during this period i was an active witness and worked with a guy who had just come into the truth.
now i don?t know if builders are the same the world over, but the first thing we would do when we got to site was demand a cupa and ask where we could plug in our beatbox.
this would normally be met with a sigh and a resigned look from the householder.
Too funny. I was young, but remember helping to build the KH in Ukiah, CA. One of the younger brothers who worked for the brick mason, and whom I adored (first crush), gave me a budwiser bottle to put in the foundation. I added a couple more in other places for him before the place was finished.
Don't think anyone left a tract or anything...

i have had a hard time wrapping my head around everything i've learned about the jw's.
i had no idea.
i must have been insane to not see the signs when i was with my ex.
Good luck, sk.

jehovah's witnesses are told to never talk against the organization.
they say that talking against the organization is the same as talking against jehovah god himself!........so, now that we have the freedom to speak our minds, say something true.
Had the elders once tell my husband that the story in the bible where Jesus told the woman who had committed adultry to, 'Go. And sin no more." had been added to the bible by apostates in an effort to corrupt the faithful. It kind of ruins their justification to df people who re-marry.
Think they got that idea from the 'spirit annointed' GB? One can only wonder...

Of course his dad & family is teaching him that my beliefs are wrong...which is why I started looking. I do take him to my church, he is learning another side.
Make sure the court knows this. He should be barred from putting the child in the middle like this. Saying, 'this is what daddy believes, and that is what mommy believes' is one thing, saying, 'mommy is wrong and bad' is entirely another matter and should be addressed.
when I try to talk to him about our son, she jumps in there, tells me what I do wrong, what a bad person I am, etc
If she is doing this in front of your son, the court can impose sanctions on her. Might remind her of that and definitly talk to your lawyer. If the lawyer says there is nothing you can do, get another one who is better and not so lazy.
They've even taken to encouraging my son to call her mom. Which is direct violation of our custody order, but he doesn't care.
Not his call. Again, don't let them get away with this.
I know he's unhappy, I don't care, but I know he's unhappy
That is why he is a different person around you alone, he may have realized he made a big mistake.
when I go over there to collect my son, they scatter like cockroaches.
She's still got a sense of humor in spite of all
He hates going to his dad's house it's always a fight even tho it's been a year since the custody was determined.There may be something else going on if he hates it so much. Can you get the custody changed?
Hope I don't sound too pathetic..
You sound like a mother who hates to see the pain her son is in. That is NOT pathetic.:) Have you ever gone to a kingdom hall for a meeting that they went to? If you do, be sure that your son sits with you not them. May be uncomfortable and I am not suggesting that you get a bible study going with them or anything, but may be enlightening as to exactly what they are doing to your baby. Nifty side effect is that Attila will be steaming the entire time if that makes you happy. Don't know if I'd sit with them though.

this is a bit of a long post, but couldn't copy addy, .
it is good for the canadian parents here who are fighting to see their children and they are having their children's minds poisoned by the custodial parent.... a good case in canada.
you are the custodial parent.
did anyone else hear of this jw urban legend that the sweatshirt company b.u.m.
equipment was owned by witnesses ("in california"), and that b.u.m.
stands for brothers united in the ministry?
What is it with witnesses always trying to be part of something hip and cool at the moment and then looking down on it????
They are hypocrites...

who saw the apprentice tonight?
for those of you who missed it, it was the season opener.
donald has grouped the candidates into two teams (college graduates and high school graduates).
As I've been reading this, I just think yup, yup, yup... as has been said before, 'thanks WTS'. Had to get my degree after leaving the org so that I could pursue better positions. It took me 6 years and 23k while raising a family and working a full time job.
How many of us heard our jw ex-husbands say that we should not go to college or question their authority but rather be submissive since they were our husbandly owners? <wretching here>
I'm rooting for the HS grads...

i've been out for quite a while and i can't find anything on google.
still i wonder what jw's are saying about spongebob squarepants; especially in light of the fact that he may be gay.
especially in light of the fact that he may be gay.
Give me a break...
We watch spongebob as a family. I laugh my a** off. What could possibly be wrong with the spongy little dude? I'm sure that the WT can find something though. Remember when they said that ET was an evil movie because ET was set up to picture Jesus Christ? Unbelievable...

though i haven't been in the mood to discuss jws lately, i had to post this one.
it's a keeper and shows how fanatical they can get:.
on my way to work in our city's downtown area i regularly see a pioneer walking up and down the street, holding up his magazines.
CALL CHILDREN'S SERVICES!!!!! THIS IS ABUSE!!!ditto...
