LOL @ Confession. That was some quick thinking. Too bad your car didn't look like a govt vehicle. some people believe just about anything...
People are funny!
i was just remembering how one day i told my good friend that bed mattresses are made out of cigarette butts.
well i must have been very convincing because about a week later i happened to over hear her telling someone else about this 'fact'.
i had to quickly stop her and tell her that i had only been joking!.

I still laugh when I think that she fell for that.
Have you ever told a made up story or a tall tale that someone has fallen for?
yes i am quitting the forum ,,, i cant keep up with you all.
i cant remember whos who, so very happy that we have many many new ones,,,, .
let me tell you i love you all ...i have been so respected by you all & shown much unconditional love..... i know many have my home e-mail..... so if any want to - they know what to do.. i have been on here a long time.... gus,gus ( my wonderful daughter still posts on occasions.
Oh Granny Grace! I am so sad... I just feel like I made an extremely recent connection with you. I hope you will pop in from time to time...
my father commented at a meeting once, "when people accuse me of being brainwashed, i reply, "i certainly am!
my brain has been washed clean of the world!
" uproarious laughter ensued from the flipper clapping seals in the cong.
FBF - we heard that same crappola over here as well.... uuurrrrgggghhhh.... I remember cringing every time i heard it!
when i was a busy little pie-in-ear we had a local apostate who would come and pretend to be interested.
he always attacked russell and rutherford and the early organization.
(this was in the late 80's early 90's) after he left, the young brother with me said, "these apostates always attack the imperfect organization but never can show anything from the bible.
I only ever encountered one 'apostate' when I was in.
A guy in our congregation.
However he didn't attack the org. Instead he started reading the bible and researching it etc and trying to tell people what he was learning.
Before long though he started finding prophecies in the bible as well! He'd be out door to door telling people about his prophecies... It didn't take long for him to get disphellowshipped!

havent heard for awhile on here????
i have so many grandkids on here have to check up on them???
Mouthy you have a PM
i want to tell everyone what a joy it was to meet dantheman over the weekend.. i have never felt more comfortable with who i am.
there certainly is an unspoken understanding amongst people that have come away from the jw experiance.
in particular i think we find it difficult to be mean and judgemental to each other.. an unconditional love that we all crave.
I'll second that. Everytime I've met up with someone from this site its been great. We all have very similar histories and now can help one another with our new journeys.
Like demonstrating how to make a 'line' from the sugar packets hey JW Facts!
heheh i only just signed up on the weekend, thought id see what the fuss was about.. well now im addicted, i sit there and check how my bids are going on a regular basis, im always looking up new things.
its sooo much fun, well for me a boring housewife anyway.. hubby calls me ebay now.
es
Believe it or not, I'm getting my wedding dress off ebay!
i am furious, i have a 1700 square foot house with all new appliances including a new air conditioning system by trane.
what was my bill for june?
($400.00) this is beyond belief.
We got ours, but ours comes every 3 months. It cost $200 AU. So pretty good I think.
ya know whatamean?
if you could go back in time, back to those days as a jw and react then as you would now knowing what you now know, what would you do differently?
it could be a particular day, or an event or something you went through.
I would have stood up for myself more. Your on the bottom rung of the ladder when your a single female over the age of 25.
I remember 'sisters' that had been divorced telling me that they deserved to get married before I did because as a virgin I didn't know what I was missing out on.
That makes me so mad just thinking about that. So damned personal and insulting. I just took it...
