Not one person mentioned knives! For some reason the dubs in my hall were always selling knives!

i remember many witness businesses that would pop up.
usually they would say "i'll just offer it to the friends to get started, then when it takes off i can pioneer".
it was usually one after the other for the same people.

a friend, kevin, called me this morning and says to swing by sometime today.....he's got something to show me.
i get my butt in gear and head to his house.
he hands me a letter he got in the mail on saturday.
I remember the JWs always saying that animals can sense evil! LMAO!!! I'm trying to decide which JW relative I'm going to share this story with first!

i had to come here and post about this.
my parents who have dutifully shunned me for nearly 9 years had the nerve to ask me for money.
it wasn't for food, a car payment, house payment or anything like that.
Your parents asking you for money to go to Bethel is like you asking them for money to go buy some sex! Neither are completely necessary expenses and both are offensive to the other! I'm still shaking my head!

Its true we always want to chalk things up to brainwashing but, I know that I was NEVER that cruel or DENSE when I was a JW.
You know, I have many friends that think I must be making up half the stories that I tell cuz they just don't believe people can be so bizarre. I tell them---talk to any former JW and they will probably have experiences that rival mine!
They only suggestion that I can offer you is---laugh! Try to look at this in a humorous way. Its the only way I can deal with my in laws!

today started off good, it's mother's day, i get breakfast in bed.
then i'm outside doing what i want to do, getting our trailer ready for camping season.. what i thought my hubby (xjw_b12) was doing in the meantime was wishing his mom a happy mother's day, but he came out of the house and was a little on the off side.
instead of what i thought was he was doing and calling his mom, he caught a call from his mom instead, advising us that his uncle passed away on friday, by taking his own life.
I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm convinced that JWs are here to make everyone else appear more sane.
What appalling behavior and it really drives home the point that there is something missing in these people. Their abilities to show their own children LOVE has been tampered with. I'm sick to my stomach for you. I hope that your father felt like a horses ass!

what in the hell are my folks thinking?
have we lost all touch with reality?
what is with the bulging young women?
Oh what a relief!!!
So this isn't just a trashy Washington girl thing to do? Here I thought it might just be a pacific northwest phenomenon!! Phewwww**wipes sweat from brow***
I'm more concerned with young girls having beer guts than the fact that they are showing them off --disturbing. They just don't look healthy.

just heard about this on uk satirical news show....cant believe our friends across the pond didn't share it with us.
radar blip sends bush into sheltergeorge w. bush .
washington, april 28 (reuters): president george w. bush was hustled from the oval office and into an underground shelter yesterday after a blip on a radar screen was initially mistaken for an aircraft entering the restricted airspace around the white house, officials said.. .
I'll bet that he didn't wait seven minutes to make his exit.

i always hated being alone on thanksgiving or christmas.
what bothered me was that if it were known you accepted an invitation by relatives it was frowned upon.
but what got to me was this: is god more pleased that i am home looking at four walls alone rather than being over somebody's house??
Every Thanksgiving my JW got together for the traditional thanksgiving meal. That was perfectly acceptable because no one talked about pilgrims and indians! It never struck me as hypocritical until my hubby and I stopped attending meetings and voila! my family stopped coming over for the holidays!!
