That's gross Jojo! I kept my head bowed most of the time, so I never saw anything like that and I am glad! They knew I was vulnerable. Let them try that crap now.

If The Elders Wanted To Disfellowship YOU, What Action Would YOU Take?

would you go?

would you hire a lawyer?

play cat & mouse games?

Amen to that Kitty. That's the one thing I would take back. I made the mistake of thinking I had to prove how repentant I was. But if they were really being led by the holy spirit, I shouldn't have had to convince them, they would've known, right? They just wanted the "nasty" details. (bleep)holes.

I agree with Ozzie. I refuse to let them feel like they have any control over me. I wouldn't answer any phone calls or letters from them, and if they asked to meet with me, I would just say that I didn't want to do that. I may even say that it was torture enough the first time, and there is no way I will ever allow myself to be treated like that again. They'll do what they want anyway. Even though the thought of being DFed is a bit scary to me, the Watchtower already has my family. My mom doesn't want to speak to me anyway because she feels I'm living a disapproved life, even though I'm not DFed. So it doesn't matter. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just write my DA letter and be done with it, but I'm not that strong yet.

right so i have a younger cousin that works with me (helped him get a job with my company because in s.a you gotto pray you know someone who can help you get a job).

as you know i've left the borg - he's still very much into it.

so yesturday myself, him & a mutual college go off for a lunch at the keg - we order our food and when it comes, he bows his head and prays....silenty - the waitress comes over and thinks he's fallen asleep (narcarpsy sp???

Most African Americans I eat with will 'bless' their food in public - and none of them are dubs (honestly!!!).

You're right about this sweet tee. My dad "blesses" his food, and he doesn't even go to church. All my family members in North Carolina are deeply religious (Baptist) and the same goes for them.

I can "feel" rap music. Not all of it of course, some of it is crap, not going to argue there. But certain artists can really touch a nerve with their songs. "Brenda's Got a Baby" was a very beautiful song by Tupac. "Dear Mama" too, was a great one.

Can you tell I like Tupac much?

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Not Destroyed By Demons!

who hasn't seen the infamous black and white film footage from 1940 of the tacoma narrows bridge waving and twisting before finally collapsing into the water?

last night on the history channel they were examining an airplane crash from the 1950's and telling about how the engineers determined that there was an aerodynamic anomaly for the crash called "flutter" and that these principles of flutter were also in affect when the tacoma narrows bridge collapsed.. i thought back to when i was a child and saw this famous footage on "you asked for it" and my grandmother had us switch the channel because it was demons that were making the bridge twist like that.

i believed it for a while and was scared to death whenever that footage was replayed on tv.

How about the fact that you had to be careful buying used things at a garage sale because it might be demonized.

I am glad I never heard this rumor, and to heck with that! I read on CNN.com that this woman bought a chair at a garage sale and found $3,000 in the cushions. I wish I could get that lucky at the garage sale.

If the demons brought her that money, bring on the demons! LOL!

re: tom cruise & katie holmes

among the first steps of cult indoctrination is the severing of ties to family and friends, all of whom will be labeled by the cult as "bad associaton" and supposedly detrimental to the recruit's .

I'm not worried about Katie. I really think that the whole "relationship" is a farce anyway. I'm not buying what he's selling.

Lost our Kitty...

you remember about a month ago i had asked you all for ideas on how to deliver johnny cats medication for hyper-thyroid issues (which worked beautifully, thank you!)..

well, it finally happened... we took johnny cat in to the vet because he was having seizures.

it scared the crap out of us when it happened.. when we got there, the vet told us he had lymphoma and it would only get worse rapidly.

Chia

I'm so sorry Jeannie. Hugs and love to you.
