i know many of you are dfed, daed, and faded.
what do you do to fill the void of the time left that was devoted to the religion?
i just like to know what activities you all are into.
If my life as a JW was "full", its now overflowing.
I lost a mom, a grandfather, some fake friends, and something to do on Monday and Wednesday nights, and saturday and sunday morning.
Now I have friends who love me for who I am, not what I am, an interesting career as a professional body modification artist, and I also have time to... relax.
okay so here is the scenario:.
i finally acquaint myself with the "floating ship" that is my four poster bed about 1.30 am, finish watching a favourite lullaby horror movie - wolf creek and close my eyes.. minutes later a door slams right next to my ear and then another and what sounds like a gaggle of adolescent girls (reminiscent of the current manless debacle that is big brother uk this year) screams their way into the flat next door at high volume.
they are talking so loud i can hear every inane word they say.
My neighbors to one side are hispanic, and they love that stereotypical la cucaracha music, and they LOVE listening to it at about 8 am on sunday morning as they clean their car before mass.
I work in a bar on friday and saturday nights, so I usually get in about 4am or so on Sunday morning... so the music is usually firing up right as I'm in the deepest of sleep.
Well, not to be out done, I woke up at 6AM one sunday, and put on the most Satanic heavy metal i could, and I cleaned my car, washed it, detailed it, waxed it, sat next to it and looked at it... I spent a lot of time listening to that music.
Its been about a month now, and I haven't been disturbed on a Sunday since.
i bet that's what the owner of the brand new rolls royce i saw on the way to work, told all of his friends.. as for me, i'm stuck with my honda for a while.
.
hopefully, someday, i'll really be able to say "i just bought a beautiful brand new rolls royce".. have a great weekend.. warlock .
Warlock, remember that one time when you posted a hysterical summation of the weeks events on JWD?
I was hoping that would become a tradition.
Just saying.
i'm sitting here, typing with my left hand, because asleep in my right hand is a little mouse!
found the poor thing in the driveway, it almost looked like it had a stroke, it seemed to be dragging it's left side, flopping around trying to move towards the grass.
i didn't want the dogs to get it, so went and got my gloves, and scooped the poor thing up.
For all the mouse lovers.... here's a little nature versus nurture:
let's show up at a few assemblies (close proximity) and have a p-a-r-t-y!
screw the debates over words; when we spoke to the boe, cos, dos, and bethel we were dealing with murderers, pedophiles, and protectors of mean men and women, called brothers and sisters.
now it's our time to have some fun within "the courtyard of the gentiles.
Folks - pets are welcome, but with the sacrifices cooking, there may be some danger to taking them with you. That having been said, a few thousand dogs would be a welcome sound for opening and closing songs.
Well then we're more than likely going to need a few attendants for pooper scooper duty. I think theinfamousone should be the overseer of that department.
when i was a teen, i aspired to be an elder.
from my pre-teens until i was 18, i was in every circuit assembly and district convention----having either ministry school talks or parts or experiences.
at 20, i conducted a bookstudy in the afternoon, also regular pioneered, was the theocratic ministry school overseer in the 2nd school and regularly taught the main school.
just kidding. I'm on some medication that is pretty much has me convinced that whatever I say or do is hysterical. Sometimes people agree, sometimes they dont.
Good story- its good to show that people who were "strong" witnesses leave too, not just fringe witnesses.

I think I read this story before- the whole premise is that you don't really want to eat green eggs and ham right?

tell us how it went in verse or ryhme:.
i had a conversation.
with my ex man.
Hey yo van Leyen
I agree with what you be sayin
Why you gotta pick on me
I'm really nice you see
Where oh where is my crumpet
She should see this thread when I bump it
I'm going out to grab a few things
I'll be back to see what she sings
for me it was a combination of things over a long period of time.
being raised as a witness, you do things by rote.
but when you see sooooooooo many watchtower inconsistencies, mistreatment of the "brothers", elder abuse, and simple lack of love, it begins to make you start seriously thinking.
i took a book
and told a few friends I had it.
then they wanted the book back, but I said no
then I said I'd sue them if they were mean
so they were very nice
then they let me go
