  CO Visit Nightmares

  by Tish in

  2. friends

  so i grew up as a jw and my family had no elders etc so we were not the type to have the honour of co visiting for lunch etc.. so when the opportunity arrived 5 yrs ago i tried to do it all properly.

  my husband had to go into work at the last minute leaving me with a baby with chicken pox and a son off from school with a twisted ankle, my daughter was high on astma meds which mean't she was throwing roast potatos across the table at the co's wife whilst i did my best be the hostess with the mostest.. sadly my hubbie at the time did not get made a mini as the elders had hoped until i could control the children!!.

  has anyone else had any funny things happen to them whilst entertaining cos?

  No this was chicken!!

  But seriously don't all COs eat strange we used to have anouncements saying CO is on Hays Diet so no combining your foods.

  I think that's where the COs get the idea of not combining a personality with their job.

  The COs wife if I remember did not get off her lazy bottom the whole time just sat there, frowning n sniffing. For any one from the UK it was the CO who had a fetish with "Do as Ya Mather Tells Ya" refering to the Borg.

  But seriously, the elders said that Jah wanted my hubby to be a MS even though he was having an affair behind me back now that's spirit directed!! But my Group Study Conductor blamed my lack of mothering on why he wasn't not that I was virtually bringing the kids up on my own.

  Oh happy times, I'll have to try and remember some more gems it has been a while since living in DubLand

  Elder's school.

  by ithinkisee in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  my father-in-law and i had a big discussion about elders and how they are not loving.

  i said this was indicative of the society as a whole.

  he countered by saying, "i go to the elder's school, and it is full of loving advice.

  I wanted to go but I was a GIRL, so therefore did not have a brain as some elders insinuated when I was in DubLand.

  Stepford Wives is not that primative!

  Anyway I thought the idea was that the elders had a good excuse to go to the races for 2 days and get very very drunk!

  Live for 100 years

  .

  did anyone see the tv programme 'time' last night?.

  maybe you all know this already but i was quite shocked to hear that scientists are working on some kind of gene therapy to prolong human life.. according to 1 scientist, within the next 40 years they will have figured out a way to alter our genes which will enable us to live an extra 20 years, by the time that 20 years is up they will have advanced to be able to prolong our lives to 200 years, and he predicted that before long we will be able to live to be 1000 to 2000.

  That would probably be ok but according to statistics our children will not live to be as old as us as they are living such an unhealthy life, so maybe they should sort that out first

  Oh my goodness this takes me back, what would have been even more fun would be to print out all the scriptures on a separate sheet this however was condemned in my cong as it wasn't read from the bible itself, but scored high in the old spiritualometer of supremicy!!

  Hi all,

  Sorry for not posting for a while, but I have had a break from using both my brain cells!

  As some may know I'm da_luvvin_Brawva and da_luvvin_sister's sister, and we have all had a hard time with us all being de borged!

  Well me poor ma has finally had an ultimatum from the rest of our siblings, it's us or them! My poor old ma has been struggling with the issue of cutting us all off since our expulsion and has not been to a meeting in a year. The rest of my siblings or one in particular has already judged and condemned her with us and has told her that everything is her fault, and if she had nothing to do with us we would have come back to the borg. I know my sis means well in a borg kinda way, but I feel so sorry for me ma.

  I've told me ma that I wouldn't want her to ruin her conscience by still having contact, but I feel terrible that she is going through this, but I must admit it's nice to know that me ma luvs me still.

  hey folks .

  over the past couple of years , ive been viewing so called 'apostate' material from one source or another over the internet.

  i guess i have been leading a 'double life' as the jw's love to put it ; whilst still going to the meetings i was still reading things about the history of the borganization .

  Hi IE,

  Yes I do remember waking up in the middle of a very interesting talk to some burley henchman grabbing a mad "apostate" from the platform, but as usual the borg had turned off the microphone so we could only take what they said for what happened! It did indeed wake the whole stadium up, but we still had half the afternoon to listen to!

  Do you remember the time the "apostates" made a massive banner with scriptures quoted and a message directed to the stands, but if you looked like you were reading it, people were waiting to report you back to your elders!
