  I eat weak people for breakfast.

  but when they aren't avail, I just don't eat.

  I'd rather have the extra 10 minutes of sleep.

  Most annoying Kingdom song

  by Billzfan23 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mine would have to be "dark days are here!

  men live in fear!....

  " followed by the annoying change to a happy beat before the chorus "but the bible gives us a reason for cheer.." .

  There was song that had a chorus, and then had like a refrain, or a repeat thing... It was weird, and I hated it.

  Remember, the "What will you bring, Jehovah's Kingdom? Eternal life and happiness" I always hated that, because for a while, at every gathering they had to do this thing where they the brothers would sing the question, and the sisters would sing the answer.... makes me shudder just to think about it.

  I didn't. I figured that might be the line that shouldn't be crossed.

  Not this year anyway...

  Memorial Highlights...

  well...i was a good girl and took my 8 yr old son to the memorial last night.

  his jw dad even called twice to make sure i was taking him, that's only because he wanted to use that as an excuse to come get him, but sorry...he was with me!!

  anyway...there was no way i was going to go to my old hall, so i actually went to a hall that isn't too far from where i live.

  Oh, I saw a mother with a young child at the memorial I attended. So I thought maybe we might have crossed paths.

  Hickory is pretty, though.

  First of all, to give you a pain level guesstimate, I need to know where its going. Cause that does make a difference.

  And whatever you do, DO NOT consume any alcohol before, during, or for the first three hours after the tattoo. Alcohol makes you bleed more, which is a pain in the ass for the artist, and heavy bleeding can push some of the ink out of the tattoo, meaning it won't look its best, and more than likely will need a touch up.

  I went to the Memorial.

  i'm just going to start at the beginning.. i was anticipating the memorial all day.

  i was nervous but excited, kind of like standing in line for a roller coaster.. ok. so erika gets ready at her house, and i get ready at mine.

  i'm wearing a black suit with a light green shirt, and a tie that had hues of green and yellow in it.

  There are millions of children that do not even
  have parents in life and I try to look at the
  positive aspects of life and I show my grateful-
  ness for it.
  
  The woman that is your mother could have aborted
  you, dump you out in the street, or could have
  given you up to an adoption agency.

  Very true, the Wanderer. In the scope of things, I lived a decent childhood. My mommy always hugged me, and Daddy never threw me through a wall. But does that mean that the effect of being raised in this religion wasn't severe.

  And my mother did do her motherly duties. But she's sort of supposed to. If a police officer pulls you over, can you justify speeding by saying that you paid all your taxes?

  I donn't think it works like that. it doesn't for me, at least.

  but I am curious what you were wanting to get out of it.

  I was looking for some closure. Just reintroducing myself as a new person, free of their influence.

  When asked how you feel today, you said at peace.

  I feel like I accomplished a lot more than I had planned. And I'm not regretting any of my actions (although the dress socks were kind of uncomfortable, I wish I had worn a looser pair).

  The reason I am mixed, is because your past posts regarding her have given me the impression that she has an abusive nature possibly. In this case, your relationship with her is less about God and the JW's and more about abuse.

  She was abusive. Very much so. But it was always Bible backed abuse. If everytime you beat a kid, or verbally abuse them, you conclude with an hour or two diatribe about Jehovah- what sticks in that kids mind? For me, the religous indoctrination was somehow used to justify the abuse. Hence my anger at this religion. So I see the abuse, and the religous stuff, as being all together.
