  None of your business

  being a jehovah witness, did you feel obliged to have a 4 door car?

  once i bought a 2 door car, and everyone was looking at me as if i commited a crime.

  i then reasoned with them saying, "didn't jesus send his deciples by groups of 2?".

  My pioneer car was a 2-door Renault Dauphine, 30-hp engine. I had to take out the back seat so I could shove the driver's seat back far enough to fold in my lanky 6'-6" body.

  Needless to say, nobody wanted to go out in service using my car. BUT, I was headed for Bethel, so guess what? I was respected for driving that piece of crap, and just used everybody else's car.

  No donations from me for gas, of course, because...again...I was headed for Bethel!!!

  Now I dream of Katie and me touring the countryside in a Corvette.

  my mole inside just e-mailed me that it was announced from the podium that i've disassociated myself.

  funny thing though.

  Another Oregonian bites the dust!

  Congrats, LB...though I think you were a bit of a wuss by not making the elders go through at least 3 jc's to get you!

  Why the Ambivalence?

  by Robdar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for the past day or two, i have been having conflicting feelings of hatred and then nostalgia for the org.

  after reading bay64me's thread entitled "crisis of wardrobe!

  ", i fondly recalled shopping for those dowdy dresses, trying to find the perfect match between what i liked and what the society dictated for me to wear.

  I had a lot of ambivalence for the first couple of years, mostly because of the waiting to find a new way to live. That new way to live found me, through this board. And I only came to this board because AlanF said it was a good place. I'm so glad I took his suggestion, because I truly think I otherwise would still be waiting to live again, and suffering from the consequential ambivalence.

  Instead, now I look at my 38 baptized years merely as a job I once had...learned some things, made some friends, had some good benefits. Like hillbilly remarked, I'm just moving on with life.

  My thoughts and feelings are no longer split between the past and the future.

  I am simply my son's 'dad'

  one of our neighbours had a nasty car accident (but was ok) and had to leave earlier to get the train to work.. she brought her daughter round in the morning as angharad had agreed to take her to school with our two and she is in dylan's class (our youngest).

  she is absolutely gorgeous and her and dylan are inseperable.

  he got into trouble last week for fighting (he's three and a bit) but we have since found out that the lad he pushed over had been picking on his little friend (that's my boy .

  Are You Afraid Of Anything???

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading many posts on this site, it seems we all share the same types of fears.while witnesses, some were petrified to give a talk in the theocratic ministry school.

  others were sick to their stomach to go out in door to door work.

  if the elders said that they wanted to talk to you after the meeting, fear would set in throughout the whole night.
