Maybe we should test the theory to see if we can get them on misappropriation of funds by sending them a bunch of $10 donations, specifically intended for Ted Jaracz's hemorrhoid relief. Keep copies of the cheques, and send them all to a forensic accountant to see where the money goes.

LMFAO.........can I have that beer now Skully?

Maybe I should go back and be a good little dubbie again!!

i believe that i am experiencing a profound change in my personality, and those changes are at a stage where i have honestly contemplated this recently.

honestly.. i don't think i could ever do it - anyone who has followed me on the boards here know that i am neither suicidal nor an apologist for that lot.

yet, having been off work for a few weeks now with surgical recovery, i have had time to make assessment of my future.

Jeff, I had the pleasure of meeting you and your wife......your both very sweet people. If I lived a bit closer, I would join you for a few beers......and would not only go to buy shingles, but help ya put them on the roof!!

I wish i could have made it for your get-together.....really hard with the kids..and as I said, I didnt want to overwhelm my Bf with to much JW talk. To bad you cant find a few on the board here that live close by to become friends with!

Im in the same boat as you.....I really only have my BF to talk to. I have Brooke,(we are only 45 min apart) but with families, we dont get together as much as we like. And JH, but of course we can only get together a few times a year! There are a few on this board that live right here in my town......and yes, we try to get together now and then, and I love it!

Reach out to those close to your area if possible. Hope your day goes well, and I DO consider you a friend!

Sixteen Child Sex Abuse Lawsuits against Jehovahs Witnesses Are Settled

by Dogpatch in

press release 5/10/07.

http://www.freeminds.org/history/16lawsuits.htm.

sixteen child sex abuse lawsuits against jehovahs witnesses are settled.

ButtLight

Jail sentences should be given to the individuals that committed these crimes and those who are considered enablers such as the Governing Boby members and legal department.

I was just thinking the same thing........so, the WTS takes the contributions, pays these people off, and what, the abusers go off scott free to continue serving as elders and such???

DELILAH'S STRANGE EXPERIENCE......

by Mary in

ok, i wasn't sure if i should post this, but was convinced by buttlight someone who shall remain nameless.

i was talking to delilah the other day (she hasn't been posting because their computer broke down a few months ago).

she had a bizzarre experience at work a couple of weeks ago that really freaked her out.. the friday before easter, one of the women who works on her floor, was passing flyers out inviting people to a worship service that weekend.

ButtLight

It happened after I told her what religion I had finally freed myself from

I suppose it would feel odd to ask her why that happened when you mentioned this.........especially, what if the woman didnt even know her eyes turned black! Then she would think your a nut lol!

Well, I believe what you saw happened, and would love to hear more stories if you care to share! (Im a believer like you)

ARE YOU PSYCHIC..........................AND WHAT DID YOU THINK AS A JW ?

by vitty in

jw
friends

i think all people can communicate at a higher level for eg how many can times do you and your partner think of the same thing at the same time?

or you can be thinking of a person and they ring you?.

but if you really feel that you are psychic or that you communicate with "dead people" how did you cope with it when you were a witness?.

ButtLight

I am psychic. I can predict the future; for example, I know that today I will urinate, defecate, and drink copious amounts of beer. (while driving the golf cart!)

Yep, we are both psychic!

Can You See Yourself With Someone Nearly 20 Years Your Junior?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

can you see yourself with someone nearly 20 years your junior?i happen to work with a young woman who is 19 years my junior.

she is 21 and i am 40 years old.

recently, she let me know how .

ButtLight

If people see us together they will say I love
your daughter and then I will say that's my
girlfriend not my daughter.

That happened to me and my bf. I am 13 years younger than he is. So, we are at the state fair one day, and a guy yells out from behind one of the game booths "Sir, dont you want to come win a teddy bear for your daughter?"

I never laughed so hard in my life! But my Bf takes it as a compliment!

I would say go ahead and date for a while, and see how you feel then.
