of course they do their normal song and dance about spiritual help being more important, but still they do come out and state "consult with a competent health professional".

one of my jw relatives was relating to me another one of their superstitious nonsense stories designed to demonize every damn thing that doesn't fall into an approved wt list.
she was telling me about a her friend, who upon cleaning a relatives house, found a voodoo doll with a prayer to demons written on paper that it took an hour to burn.
she also related to me how in the hour it took to burn the demon paper prayer, everyone around them getting sick and falling into convulsions.. i guess she was a little perturbed that i was .
Of course there's always the one about the Smurf that came to life in the hall and beat up a Cabbage Patch doll while a group of witness kids were in a hot tub getting syphllis because thier ride was held up with a flat tire and had a bird fly over and crap on him. It took over an hour to wash the poop off him!
Scared me to death I tell ya!!!!

here goes my stories: .
she looked up at all those stairs to the third floor!
she said she would do the first floor.
Funniest:
Four brothers in my car. The most stuck up and self righteous one goes to the door. On the way back he stepped in some dog product. He tried to scrape his nice shoe on the lawn to clean it off with little resulting success. So he reached down and grabbed a handful of dry grass to wipe it off with. Of couse he grabbed a handfull of dog product as well. He got back in the car but had to hold his hand out the window all the way back to the Hall so he could wash it. We called him the "Dung Grabber" from then on!
Scariest:
At the door of a Pentacostal fellow who insisted on the laying on of hands. He chased a young brother and sister trying to put his hands on thier foreheads while screaming about the Holy Spirit. This guy was at least 6'5'' and 250lbs. Whew, what a wacko. I know, they asked for it by going to his house uninvited, but c'mon there have to be limits of behavior no matter who it is. I intervened to rescue this little bro and sister. What creep he was. He followed them down the street to the car where they thought they could avoid him. He wouldn't let them get into it. He kept after them with his hands extended in annointing mode. I basically told him to take a hike and leave the kids alone. I calmed him down and sent him on his way. Could've been really ugly and physical. He was on Fire with the Holy Spirit.

this is the one that has a damn stick in it and i can't drive .
it's a 440 magnum 71 challenger.
kls,
I think a sweet little monkey like you will have to tie blocks on the pedals so you can reach them. Remember left is clutch, right is brake and the long pedal is for excitement. Push it down all the way and hold on!
Eek eek... Translation: "Speed Kills"

ive been here for sometime now.
long enough to know that some peoples hatred toward th wtbts and some of its members are based on wrong information.
for instance: ive read on hear many times that the wt promotes the idea that everyone whos not a witness are not friend material or will be destroyed at armageddon.
Is Apocalyptic some sort of JW cough drop?

i wanted to share this story.. we were (many years ago) going out in service.
i was in the car with annointed one driving, his wife and the person who had 'brought me into the faith' and my daughter.
we went through an intersection where this old man (annointed one) was not paying attention.
Like marching army aunts another one steps in when one falls. They are proud of that analogy. Dumbasses. Your Mother's honesty was her downfall among the two faced throng. My own Mother died in 2004 and now I really know the pain of death. She's the first person really close to all of us that has died. This pain I wish on no one but know all will likely experience. She died in front of us sitting on the edge of her hospital bed getting ready to come home.
Only last week I saw her die again, the scene replays less frequently now. This time I was driving in my car alone and I screamed at the top of my voice, gutteral at first and then the words "Dont die" came out. Though I am in my forties I felt like a little boy. I didn't do that as she died. Always logical and reasonable I knew she wasn't hurting anymore. This time I just let it go and if felt so damned good. My voice was gone for three days but I had such peace right after and since. I know, off topic but I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks for listening.
If you miss your mom a tenth of how much we miss mine then I know your heart is broken. Add the whole JW thing to it and I can imagine you should hide all automatic weapons.
Sorry about your mom, I can relate.
