i was reading the "post your picture" thread for the first time today (saw the vivamus one, but not the newer one).

--you posted a comment and an age.

--you posted a comment with no age.

That chart affirmed my suspicions!!! There are twice as many 53 year old women as men.

Now someone should do this based on the age of the people and how many are married or single!

did anyone hate that expression as much as i did?

my husband and i are separated right now, and my jw sister reminded me on the phone the other day to make sure i gave him 'his wifely due'.

that expression makes me want to barf.

Breeze! I have never gotten into a real rebuttal with anyone on this site but I think that might change tonight.

Please tell me that you are just being sarcastic about the man having stronger sex drive and more needs than a woman!!????!!

I have talked with a lot of women in my life from 20s all the way up throught 50s, 60s and beyond , I am here to tell you that is just hog wash.

Mens sex drive are often times highly over rated!!! Womens' of ALL ages are highly under rated!!

Ever wonder if an old friend turned apostate?

i often wonder if my old witness friends from my past are still in the 'truth' (god i hope not)?

i know this site is pretty popular amongst ex-witnesses.

and since most of us have 'fake names'...we could be talking to someone that we already know.

As grey matters brought out it is entirely personal but I for one would be thrilled to participate. I think that it would be great fun and who knows maybe meet up with some old friends.

Remember when KH's had a piano and real singing?

by WingCommander in

the thread about got me thinking about my very early childhood, back when witnesses were allowed to be social and have get togethers.

they also had a piano in every congregation i ever attended, and an older sister would always play the kingdom melody.

there was actual singing - not mindless droning and humming.

Cabin in the woods

Oh yes, yes I do! The old piano was virtually never tuned and a great big happy sister would bang away with all the gusto of a drunk sailor!

Still in one piece but the wheelchair isn't

what a day.

i was out gallavanting around - buying one thing here another there and finally heading home.. the chair hit a bump and the front wheel broke off sending me flying with the chair landing on top of me.

personally i think it was a temper tantrum designed to let me know they were tired and wanted to ride me for a while.. i had just passed a man sitting on a bench waiting for the bus and he rushed right over to help.

Cabin in the woods

Oh Lady Lee,

I am sorry that you had to go through all of this! What an awful experience but isn't it always great to realize that there are some really good people out there willing to help and make certain that you are fine. That in itself is a glorious affirmation.

Hugs,

Presiding overseer just tried calling 2 xs in 10 minutes.

hhhmm, whats with this?

we have an answering machine so why not leave a message??

i am not going down some silly game playing road with him and his mop wringing cohorts.

Hi Earthtone,

It is my understanding that the change in the pre baptism questions at the conventions as of 1985 actually now results in you entering into a contract with the Watchtower Society whereas before that you were only publicly entering into a contract with Jehovah God. I was baptized in 75.

Anytime the watchtower makes any changes no matter how minute you have to watch carefully . It is always for their interests and to get more control.

Has anyone had Shingles???

by mama1119 in

hello.... i was in the er last night because apparently i have shingles!!!!!!!!

the doctor said it is caused by stress, which re-activates the chicken pox virus that lays dormant in your system.

so i guess i need to learn some stress management skills.

Cabin in the woods

Been there, done that. Get lots of rest. Do exactly as the dr. says and eat high quality food. But the most important thing of all is try to cut out or cut down on current levels of stress.

hugs,
