i have a 3 year old girl, and she is wild... she has recently started completley disobeying, talking back, slamming doors, spitting at me etc.

it is getting miserable to go anywhere because she throws fits, runs around resturants screaming.

at dance class, her teacher had to send her off the floor because she was the only kid running around and woud not listen.

Now you know what it's like to live with a woman!

I know I shouldn't be laughing at this but you are so right. Thanks for the laugh.

My insensitive dub brats (found some pictures)

by MsMcDucket in

jw
friends

when my husband was in the hospital, they told me that they had been going out of town to various states.

they were like mom, you didn't know we have drove to arkansas and (some other state) to go visit some unknown witnesses!

omg, i could of stroked!

I didn't get anything negative from Ms.McD's posts. I think that most kids are insensitve brats. I know that there are things that I do to my parents that could classify me as a brat and insensitive. I was a spoiled rotten brat as a child and I am raising a spoiled rotten brat myself.

As parents you give and give to your children only asking for them to show that they recognize what you have done for them on occasion. Asking them to keep you updated about where they are and what they are doing is a parents right because they love you.

There a lot worse things to be called than a brat. The worse thing Ms.McD called them was a dub. Now that might hurt my feelings. (hehehe)

Anyone seen the movie "Luther"?

by candidlynuts in

jw
friends

it was out about 2 years ago, i rented it this weekend... the catholics portrayed in it remind me of the modern day watchtower.. they are complaining about martin luther having " independent thinking" and " a bad influence on the people".

.

Lo-ru-hamah

Yes, I have seen it twice. It made a lot of sense to me at the time as I felt like the same struggle was happening in my life.

Otherwise Engaged...

by LittleToe in

just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

Lo-ru-hamah

Congratulations LT and Zena. You both seem like such wonderful people, I am glad you found each other.

Can You Suggest The Perfect Song

by Nellie in

this april will mark our 25th wedding anniversary.

music has always been a part of our relationship.

back in the day, my hubby spent a lot of time in the back room because of being a dj both at witness parties and in clubs around nyc.

Lo-ru-hamah

I personally love this song:

Artist: Sade
Song: By your side
Album: Lovers Rock
[" Lovers Rock " CD]

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me

Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside
Baby, and you can't get in
I would show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost, you're alone
Can't get back again
I will find you
Darlin' and I'll bring you home

And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes (ooh)
You know time
You'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me

Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby

Or this one:

At Last Lyrics by Etta James

At last, my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Oh, yeah, at last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clovers The night I looked at you I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to rest my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Oh, yeah when you smile, you smile Oh, and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine At last

Of course you could alway go with a song that would excite you husband

and there is a song by NIN that would probably do that. Though, it

isn't very romantic.

INDULGE YOURSELF! No More Guilt!

by compound complex in

dear released-from-care,.

it's a chilly 45 degrees fahrenheit outdoors and i do not wish to risk pneumonia.

i'm under the weather and brand-new sheets and feeling quite indulgent.

Lo-ru-hamah

Oh, to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday mornings. That is an indulgence we enjoy on a regular basis. No more service on holidays. Woohoo.

We buy the occansional lottery ticket. I swear some, it still makes me feel guilty but I am not letting the guilt stop me. And we watch rated R movies without the slightest pang of guilt.

hey expioneers and exelders what goes on during......

by 5go in

the co visit during those meetings you guys go to.

Lo-ru-hamah

Like others have stated they really were just pep talks. However, I do remember the last pioneer meeting I went to. It was the one that they have on Friday before the Circuit Assembly. The Circuit Overseer conducting the meeting actually told all the pioneers there that we were better than the rest of the witnesses. I was horrified. After the meeting we were having dinner with my pioneer mother-in-law and elder father-in-law. We were discussing the meeting and I said that I thought that they were wrong in saying that we were better than everyone else. My father-in-law said that I was wrong and that those that made the self sacrafice to pioneer were better than everyone else. Needless to say, that was my last ever meeting. I quit shortly afterwards. It still makes me sick to my stomach when I think about it.

Well did you know that when a former JW starts buying xmas gifts ........

by troubled mind in

jw
friends

they have turned to the world (aka darkside ) and will end up becoming terrible horrible people !?????

well that is what one jw told a fellow workmate of my husbands .

a couple of days ago my hubby and i were looking at toys in the store when a jw( former friend of ours) stopped to chat with us .we said nothing about the gifts being for xmas (unless she over heard our personal conversation ).

Lo-ru-hamah

How incredibly sad that they think that buying gifts for the people you love is such a sick state. I am glad that the other work mate saw the grossness of the JW behavior and was disgusted by it.

by Scully in

jw
friends

when you will have been an exjw for as long as you were a jw?.

i was raised in the jws from before the age of 10, and stopped going to the kh at the age of 31. i was involved with the jws for a total of 23 years.

i will be 54 years old by the time i have spent more of my life as an exjw than i did as a jw..

Lo-ru-hamah

I will be 62 but that really isn't all that bad when you consider that my mom will be 118.
