Brooke, I can relate to this " I am bitter but I have every right to be. I get no explanation of why we grew apart. I did not want this. Still don't. I did not want to loose my very best friend who was like me and she was like my sister. I miss her. I really do. My heart hurts and I need a friendship like that again. "

Also I wanted to say I think your dress is lovely!

Embarrassing moments at work

i think we need a fun fluffy thread today, so this is my attempt at starting one.

at work we have a big bathtub with air jets.

clients come in for a hydrobath, (hopefully remember their swimsuit 'cause i've seen so many naked people by now it's getting boring), leave and then, oh joy!, i get to clean the tub.

Dams...."The last thing I wanted to do at this point is have the "erections are a normal reaction to a massage talk."

Now that was funny!!!!

Is there a story behind the beer you drink or is just that it tastes better

by JH in

jw
friends

some people drink a certain beer because they really find that it's the best tasting beer on the market, while others drink what their friends or spouse drinks and see no difference, no matter what beer they drink.. when i first started drinking beer when i was in my teens, i drank what my parents had at home.

free beer .

honestly, i used to drink labatts but a friend initiated me to budlight, and i really love that beer now.

This is one of my favorite beers. But I also like other dark beers. No story, just like dark beer.

this evening mrs ozzie and i went to our favorite local restaurant - it's out in the outer suburbs, a lovely small thai restaurant - well, any food eaten with chopsticks is okay with us!.

anyway, we entered and there at a middle table sat a family of three - father, mother and daughter.

nothing unusual about that except, well it was the badge card that caught my eye.

YUM Thai food = wonderful! I've never tried having any wine with mine but I'll have to do that next time!!
Sorry the mention of great food and wine made me forget the subject of this thread ;)

When Did You Realize That You REALLY Were Going To Die?

and not live forever on paradise earth?

misanthropic

I don't think I ever believed I was good enough to be in the "New System" even when I was a little girl. One of my strongest memories of being young is from when I was very little maybe 7 or 8 years old. I remember my mom would always get upset at all us kids running around the house raising hell and what not. She would get angry and end up cursing and then she felt bad and said she wasn't going to get to live forever since we all were driving her crazy! Poor lady, looking back now there were five of us and I just could not imagine! Anyway I would always pray before bedtime. I always prayed that even if I wasn't going to make it into the paradise, I hoped that Jehovah would let my parents be there. I knew they were good people and they deserved it for all their efforts. I would be in tears after I was done because I was so worried! But yeah, I never planned on the whole living forever thing for myself anyway.

JWs are not a cult................

friends

...............or so i thought.

when you were an active jw, how did you feel when ppl accused you of being a cult !!!!!!!!!

and do you think its a cult now your out ?

misanthropic

Even after I had stopped attending meetings, my husband would tell me the witnesses were a cult and I would get really uspet and defend them. He would bring printouts from websites to try and show me but I wouldn't read the "apostate" literature as I had been taught. I remember getting really upset thinking he was never a witness so he just couldn't understand.
Now when I look back I laugh, I cannot believe I ever was ever like that! I was so afraid to even see for myself because of what I had been taught as a witness. Hello..... red flag! Now I am sure it is a cult and I am glad to no longer be any part of it.
