Hahaha, Granny Mouthy called some of yous peoples Little Monkeys! and you're gonna get a spankin! Seriously, I feel very fond of the dudes and dudettes on the board. Nobody else understands what it was like to grow up an elder's kid, not even my husband. He just shakes his head when I tell him I used to try to read my school lessons under the streetlight at eleven o'clock at night,out in the parking lot, while Dad was lingering in an elder's meeting. See, education wasn't important, cuz Armageddon was scheduled for October of 1975. But you guys understand.

Massachusetts-Police slam doors on JW's

I don't see what's unreasonable about it at all. The police are merely asking for a heads up from the Witnoids so they don't waste resources responding to calls about people in the neighborhoods. They aren't asking the Wits to get permission or anything, just the courtesy of letting them know they intend to work a neighborhood. How hard is that, and why are they making such a big deal of it? Seems like a simple request, and they're making themselves look like buttheads. Aren't they supposed to obey, if it doesn't conflict with God's law?

It's sad, too, that the guy seemed sincere in his confession. It may be heart breaking for him when he finds out the big fakes blabbed to their wives, who blabbed to everybody else, and now he has no hope of getting his life back together with dignity.
They'll probably "encourage" the wife to divorce him, even telling her she should get a divorce. They'll egg her on, until she thinks she must put him out of the family home, when left to themselves to work it out, they might have mended the marriage. Jehoopla prefers that, doesn't he, hating a divorce, or does he approve of meddling in a marriage, and backstabbing?
Not that I would like my hubby getting a lap dance from a stripper, but I hope he never feels he has to! If he looks at some porn, I really don't care; he does it at home and doesn't feel I'm strangling the joy out of his life, or being repressed and prudish.
Poor JW wives... they're raised to be goody two shoes, then their husbands get bored with them, and go find a topless bimbo for a little excitement! The sisters are unwitting victims too in this unhealthy, unnatural religion.

I had a horrible nightmare one rainy Friday night, that Mom and Dad swooped by in their big four door Witlessing car and dragged me into the back seat. They sped to the territory while I frantically dug in my purse for my cell phone to call my husband. I kept looking out the windows till he pulled up behind us. He said, "Now, she doesn't want to do this, so I'm just bringing her back home with me!" They murmured, "Some other time, dear."
Just a bad dream, of course I wouldn't just happen to be in my driveway on Saturday morning in a skirt, with my purse in hand. Hubby wouldn't just hunt down Mom and Dad's car and rescue me, and they just smile as I shriek and jump into his Jeep. Not to menntion, they live 1700 miles away... dreams can be totally illogical, but string bits and pieces together of things that have been worrying you, into some kind of psychedelic collage. I guess I still don't feel completely safe from the spying and harassment I got from the elders before I packed up and fled out of state.

We had a yard sale today, and we sold almost everything we put out. We can now park in the garage, and we met a lot of nice neighbors! Pleasant day.

My Dad always enjoyed growing a neat goatee while on vacation. He really hated giving it up when we came home, but he was an elder and had talks to give, so that meant he could not have a beard.There was a boy I liked at the Hall when we were both teens, and he was forever being hauled in the back room to be counseled about his hair length. It was (gasp) touching his collar in the back again. When he turned eighteen, he got a good job and promptly moved into a by the week motel. He wanted to escape that badly! Everyone seemed so surprised, that he would quit the meetings.

I managed to apologise to someone I used to shun.
by nicolaou inin fact, over the past year there have been two such instances.
a few weeks ago i was at a depot i visit once a month and i noticed someone who had been disfellowshiped about 8 or 9 years ago.
i waited for him to finish his conversation and then approached him.
