  Progressive Insurance Woman

  by RubaDub in

  2. friends

  can't think of her name right now (she's a comedienne), but i think i have had about enough with the progressive insurance ads.

  they seem to be everywhere, all the time.. i guess there is a ton of money to be made when every other commercial on tv seems to be an insurance company hawking its products (progressive, geico, etc, etc, etc).. rub a dub.

  MIL comment irritates me...

  by AggieNostic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some may know, my family and i no longer associate with jws - we are neither df'd nor da'd.

  we last attended about 4 years ago (seems longer...) anyway, my wife has lunch occasionally with her folks - i never get invited and rarely associate with the in laws - my fil says i have destroyed his family... so tensions are somewhat high and it's quite uncomforable whenever we are in the same room - always nice/pleasant, but very shallow relationship now.. my in-laws attended the international convention in trinidad a couple of weeks ago and while having lunch with my wife last week, my mil made the comment to her that "if we had only attended one of these international conventions, we would never had stopped attending meetings... we would have seen the unity and love among the brothers... etc...".

  this really irritates me... we were 38 and 39 years old when we stopped attending - both of us had been pioneers, me an elder... we were deep in the org... and my mil thinks that going to an international convention was the missing element in our spiritual lives?

  Are there any pro jehovah witness boards on the net left?

  by unbeliever in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember the good old days when jwzone, greatcrowd, purelanguagenetwork, sister soup, and witnessworld were around.

  there were quite a few of us that managed to gain membership to those boards and tried to "witness" and would copy/paste over here..

  2. friends

  long-time occasional lurker, first-time poster.

  cliffs notes version: i'm thinking of da'ing in order to shake my family up a bit, even though i haven't been involved with jws in more than 10 years.

  longer version: i was raised as a jw but never got baptized.

  ok, so some of you know im dfd and my faded sister lives with me.. - today at about 1pm, the elder who dfd me turned up at my door.

  i was in bed - ive had a cold for three days and a hacking cough.. james came up and told me, and i said im not well, but my sense of motherliness kicked in and i thought, its not for my eleven year old son to deal with this.
