I find 1Kings 18:27 to be the marker of a good translation

Hi,

Any funny stories after leaving the Org.

I was remenissing with my wife last night and remembered this

Just after leaving the Org. I was out partying with some 'worldly' friends and had BAD morning hangover! The door bell rings, and a friend answers, its two JW's, from the hall. He interupts them mid pitch and says, 'Sorry love, but we've already got one! Although you may you to come back tomorrow to check, I think it might be broke."

jw's live next door.

my sister, shunned, moved into her first house she bought last week.

gwen and i helped her and her husband and 4 kids (yikes!

) move their stuff from storage, and from my parents house.. .

When I made the decision to leave, I shared a place with a ?worldly? friend of mine. I made up for those years of submission with parties, parties, and parties. We even had a drum kit in the place. Rock-and-F****ng-Roll Baby!

Two months in, I discover I?ve been living next door to a family from the congregation. They were pretty cool about it though, and didn?t report me.

Celebrating my birthday...

by Jankyn in

hi, all.. i celebrated (yes, indeedy, right down to cake and singing) my 45th birthday on saturday, and i learned a few things in the process.. my partner, who is appalled that i never had a birthday party or presents as a child, decided to make my birthday a week-long celebration.

each day, i had another gift--little things that she knew i'd like, like a box of almond roca, a little plastic moose (i love moose-s), and a book about natural ways to get the slugs out of my garden.

and each day, she made up a little poem about how glad she was that i was born.

Jankyn,

!!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Sounds like a beautifu week, you special person you.

P.s. Isn't it amazing that, after your celebration, no-one gets a head on a plate!

just introducing myself

by adri2 in

i never did become a jw but i did associate with them for a few years by attending meetings, going house to house, and all that fun stuff.

anyway, i have so much in my mind that i cannot possibly say in one post.

basically i saw/heard many things during my association with jw that i just didn't agree with or just made me wonder if they were truly teaching the "truth", which i have recently come to the conclusion that there is no truth.

stevenyc

Hi Adri2,

and welcome. Look forward to your posts.

"i had the most trouble refusing to abstain from drunken nights".

Do You Look Down On People Because They Don't Agree With You??

by minimus in

friends

when i read some comments here, it seems that some can be so full of themselves that if they are disagreed with, they will mock, castigate, or be elitist with their condescending opinions.

very ''jehovah's witnessy".

Minimus,

Well, Thats YOUR opinion isn't it!

i am looking for any tips that might get me help getting my tubs and spots on my linoleum floor white.

i have soaked the tubs in bleach water and although it helped some, there still is some staining that i can't quite scrub out, and the same on my linoleum floor.

if anyone has any advice on things besides bleach i can try... i'd be grateful.

stevenyc

Sassy.

make up a paste of hydrogen peroxide and cream of tartar. Works great! Do a test in a small corner first.
