Hey Sparkplug... That was pretty funny.
Blah blah blah... That's the thing I remember most from prayers!
friday at work there was a retirement party.
i had to go to pin a decoration of service onto a life member of a charity group.
well seeing the food was so good i decided to stay a bit.

Hi Rachael
What a shame that you had to come here and get information in order to try hurt somebody in the manner that you did. I question why would you do that? What were you hoping to achieve with those actions? Do you feel that you were showing brotherly love?
I hope that someone shows GENUINE love to you. I hope that you never have someone meddle in your life and try screw around with your relationships. I hope that one day you will post here and realise what a horrible thing you did and what a mistake it was.
(((Unbeliever))) I am sorry that you have experienced the truth about JW conditional love and relationships. You will have better and unconditional relationships here.

12 years ago this week i lost my dear friend ira to aids.
it was the end of a torturous 5 years of watching him slowly turn into a ghost of himself.. i met ira when i was attending the university of north florida in jacksonville.
we were both in the same marketing class.
(((Joelbear)))
To lose someone who played such an instrumental part in your life and getting to know yourself... must be devestating.
You sound like you were a very true and loyal friend to Ira of which he was no doubt grateful for.
how are jw's treated by the cong when they have a ubm?
on one hand they could hold them up as how wonderful they are for suffering such persecution but on the other hand wouldn't they be looked down upon because they couldn't even get their own spouse 'in'?
if you can't even get your own spouse to believe how well could you do in service?
Ah being the child of a mother with a UBM...
Let me tell you it was a childhood of unhappiness. My siblings and I were blatantly exculded from social gatherings. We were ignored in the Kingdumb hall. We were ignored out in field service. We were told it was OUR FAULT. That we should be reaching out for relationships with older people in the congregation. Um sorry... tried that one too. Turns out those older ones really don't want to spend any time with someone elses kids.
Yes the brotherly love was overwhelming. Our body of elders were real selfish bastards.
You haven't been drunk properly until you've drunk yourself silly on some Australian Shiraz!
just wondering if this happened to any of you.
did you ever go to the service group and be assigned to the different car groups.....and then....the sister that is assigned to go with you...decline and say...'i am just going by myself today and do my return vistits by myself'..... damn, i should have complained about that one!
it was very rude!
Yes this happened to me and my sister... Mum was not well but insisted we go witnessing. Dropped us off at the group for field service. No one wanted to work with us. (We were about 12 and 14.) They assigned us to be together and then expected to little girls to make their own way to the territory. Instead we walked home crying and rejected once again. Gotta love that brotherly love.

please tell me that not all men are only interested in the size of a girls chest.. come on you men, restore my faith in males.
My curves are what make me feminine. Personally it doesn't bother me if guys are interested in my jublees. I'll just use it to my advantage.
And for Dams... its true... 25-34 is the new 20somethings... (Hopefully by the time I reach 35 it'll be 30-39)
you know what i'm talking about... .
for instance, if you go to a meeting and haven't been there for ages.
your stand up during the song and suddenly what seems like the whole cong gets afflicted with the jw stare.
I have a disfellowshipped friend who loves to get stared at. He puts his fingers to his head like horns, and hisses loudly(think Elaine on Seinfeld). It makes me laugh every time.
LOL... that is gold... Get him to do the Elaine dance while he is at it...
i received this from someone who recently attended the "keep your eye simple" special assembly day.. ----------------------------.
the title of this post was spoken by james pellechia, a bethel heavy.
after the mid afternoon song, bro pellechia reads the accounts report.. the circuit assembly account had a surplus of $3,000, the account balance was $47,000.
you asked:
What do you mean by "Marked"? I never heard that expression before in the KHs
I don't know if it was an expression used in the KH's so much. What I meant by that is when people get treated in a wary fashion. Like for example if they feel you may unsettle the folds you will find yourself being excluded from social activities and being passed over to answer up at the meetings etc. You will be treated very carefully in case you might be... gasp... an apostate!!!

Ohhhh I hate that greedy hyprocritical organisation. How dare they condemn other churches for actions they themselves are not beneath doing.
How can people sit at those assemblies and not realise how hypocritical it is. Either they (a) acknowledge it but are too fearful to think about it further in case they become marked or (b) they have been so WTBTS trained it seems completly appropriate to make such comments.
