What is the best thing you have done since leaving the truth?

by mtsgrad in

as a fader i felt delighted at clinking glasses at a pub.

it may seem trivial but it meant a lot to me.

what is the best thing you have done since leaving the truth?.

RichieRich

I had six 6g hooks pierced into my back, and all 320 lbs of me was lifted into the air by them.

I watched the world spin without me on it, and I realized my place in the world.

i keep calendars of the previous years.

sometimes, i take a calendar of a previous year out, and i read the daily notes that i put on them.. .

RichieRich

when I had 7mm holes punched into the cartilage of my ears, I kept the tissue we punched out.

I also keep sheds from my snakes...

REPOST: For those without Mothers

by Lady Lee in

jw
friends

mothers day can bring up many issues for some of us.

for some their mothers have passed away and the opportunity to say i love you in person is forever lost.

for others our mothers are lost to the borg.

RichieRich

Mom.

I'm not going to ever tell you that I don't love you. But I am going to tell you that I am disappointed in you.

We had a relationship which I valued, and we both damaged that.

However, I mended the parts of the fence I broke.

You have made no actions to do the same.

I know you know what I do. Dad tells me that you check you my myspace and fuss at him for the choices I make.

Remember how I used to sit at the meetings and zone out and frown? I never do that anymore. Look at all my pictures. Even when I'm my saddest, I still have a smile on my face.

Remember when you said that the other witnesses love would take my place? Well I hope it has.

Because I've found people to fill all the voids in my life.

I'm sorry I upset you with my attendance at the Memorial. I came for my own reasons.

In case you were wondering, I'm doing very well. I just got back from California, and I'm headed to Canada in July.

Anyhow, life goes on.

One day, dad's going to be leaving the house to come see his grandparents and his daughter in law. What are you going to do then? Study your Watchtower? Is it really worth that much?

I hope you're asking questions, and I hope you're finding the right answers.

Forever yours,

Richie

Would You Kill Some One If Your Government Told You To?

by frankiespeakin in

how far do you allow the government tell you what to do?

do you allow governemt to make those dicisions for you?

RichieRich

I would kill if called upon to do it.

Now, usually, when you go about serving government ordered hits, they're usually after bad men, not the pope, or mother theresa, or little kids in a park.

Plus, maybe the government would let me pick somebody...

Do We Pair Off With People Who Look Like We Do?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

do we pair off with people who look like we do?the thought of what physically attracts one individual with another crossed.

my mind recently and it raised some questions about the subject.

there are some dating websites that promote relationship compatibility .

RichieRich

What do I find physically appealing?

Honestly, women who are the exact opposite of me. Petite, thin, and more subtle personalities.

And honestly, thats the majority of women who express interest in me.

How important do I think physical compatibility is?

Well, I have an unorthodox look, and so people who want to have a relationship with me have to accept that. So I'd say its fairly important...

Did paintball at the weekend

by cyberdyne systems 101 in

jw
friends

it was for a birthday treat for one of my friends, me and his best friend arranged it and wow was it a laugh!

i got some good bruises going on, but thats all part of the fun.. i'd always wanted to do it, and apart from doing something called laser quest, which is just light guns, i'd always considered it to much of a no no, when a dub.

i recommend it to anyone, there was men, women, children of say 13 or 14 too, the paint balls are a bit pricy but if its a one off, and the memories you take away are great.. cs 101.

RichieRich

The few times I've went I've had a blast.

I got more hurt from doing commando moves through thick brush than I did getting hit.

It is so much fun, I want to go again!

So........

so i work at a bar.

i'm a bouncer.. a floor guy to be specific.

(in any bar, there's people assigned to the door, and people assigned to the floor- newbies get to stand in the rain and look at ids while floor guys maintain order inside the joint).. anyhow, i had kicked some guy out of the bar last week.

RichieRich

This comes to you as a "Mom" I would suggest that you put yourself in a better environment. I know I have been there many years ago owned a nightclub and know what it is like and the crazy life people live. No it is not Jehovah causing this, it is where we put ourselves, and you are worth more than a slug in the mouth.

I appreciate your concern. This was an isolated incident, its not something that happens at all that often. Working security in a bar til last call on Friday and Saturday nights isn't supposed to be a desk job. I do it because I enjoy it, so I can't really complain.

assuming your outside of Ft. Bragg, you should be getting more of those idiots shortly before they deploy. Assholes out to have a good time before they go to the 'sandbox'. Good luck.

I'm an hour north of Bragg, so I don't get too many grunts up here starting mess, luckily. Ever notice how the bouncers in Army towns are always ex-Marines?

All you ex-military, check it out...

when i was in the borg, i had no idea of the stories my grandparents (both wwii vets) were telling me.

now that i've done my tour, and can relate to some the stories that these 'weirdo war vets' have told me, i'm starting to get it.

here's some thoughts...

RichieRich

I have a good friend who originally was Psy Ops out of Fort Bragg, NC.

He got blown through a wall in Iraq before he was discharged for medical reasons.

He now works with Customs Enforcement for Homeland Security.

Some of the stories he told me about how things were haunt my dreams.

I think its soooo important that America stand behind its troops, and know that they're suffering is not in vain.

A floor guy to be specific. (In any bar, there's people assigned to the door, and people assigned to the floor- newbies get to stand in the rain and look at IDs while floor guys maintain order inside the joint).

Anyhow, I had kicked some guy out of the bar last week. No big deal. He was getting to loud to keep being served, so we let him finish his last round, and I walked him to the door.

So tonight, I'm standing with my back to the bar (my mistake) talking to a lovely young lady.

Someone pokes me real hard in the back of the neck.

I turn around, and I get punched in the mouth.

Of course, I moved to restrain the guy, and kept struggling and banging his head on the ground.

...

After the police and the ambulance left, I was left standing there holding a napkin up to my lip, and wondering where I went wrong in life.

Am I a self fulfilling prophecy?

Is this Jehovah's way of showing me my errors in life?

Then I realized, nope. I'd gladly take another couple of blows to the face to still not have to go to the Watchtower study in the mornning.

I don't know why I'm posting this, I'm just glad to be alive and free of cult mind control I guess.

Oh well, at least I got off early.
