While staying at Brigham and Womens hospital when my dad was ill,for several weeks,the nurses had even set me up in the 'family conference room' to sleep in at night.Well.one morning I woke up with bags and bags of Au Bon Pan food in the room with me.Apparently,while asleep,the previous night,I had gone down to the street level and bought out the store{with my credit card],brought it all back and passed a lot of it out to the night staff,who were pleasantly surprised and delighted! I was glad that Id been wearing my,um 'formal jammies' that night...Isnt that freaky? In BOSTON!!!!!You would think that that would have taught me a lesson,but I continued w/Ambien till about a year agoWhy? Because they make you sleep.Unfortunal]tly,they make you smear jam on the cat and try to make liquid hand soap by melting bars of soap in the microwave.

Ambien stories? yeah,Ive got em....hehh

Punk got shunned HURRAH!!!!

by punkofnice in

so i was da'd last september as a 'mentally diseased apostate'(tm) that the 'jehu elders'(tm) should 'slaughter'(tm) if the law of the land allows it.. i now get shunned in the street and i think it's so childish of the dubs to do so.

one family that shunned me was a family i bent over backwards to help them when they had to move house.

their loss...i won't help them again!.

If you greet them loudly with"hey hows that Jehovahs Witness child abuse thing going?"they will really start avoiding you...Lol.Good for you!!!Its hard to not get a teeny bit offended when someone shuns you,because its just impolite.But,you have to remember that hese folks are in a cult and totally brainwashed.You are doing so well,Proud of you!!!!!!!

My experience with the Bethel Legal Dept. regarding a Ministerial Servant molesting a boy

by BonaFide in

the experience that follows contains some details that some might find graphic.

so be warned.. the body of elders received word that an unmarried ministerial servant, age 20, had been seen fondling a younger male bible student, age 14. the ministerial servant himself had been studying with the boy.

the ministerial servant was a quiet, timid brother.

In 1976 when i was 16,My then sister in law and I ,met with the elders about my dad beating me up.They wanted details,and asked if he had "raped' me.No,but I showed them scars and bruises,both recent and old.They showed me a bunch of scriptures about 'obediance to ones parents' and sent me on my way,telling me that it would bring 'shame to the organization' if I told anyone else about it.They then told my dad that I had come to them.My dad kicked my ribs in and cracked a few.I also lost a couple of back teeth.Man,he must have really been worried about my soul..That was how much help "the elders' were to me...phokkers..

Is their a slackening off / lack of zeal in the witnessing work that I am observing or is it just the area I`m living in

by smiddy in

last saturday i was home with my wife,having a leisurely brekky pottering around in the kitchen ,then i noticed her standing still pondering ,what`s up i asked , wife :i thought i heard someone knocking ,i looked out the window to see two middle aged guys exciting my front drive.why didn`t you tell me they were their,i didn`t hear them.

i would have engaged them in conversation , but my wife doesn`t think i ought to,just let it go ,is her motto.. but my point is : i`m not deaf , and i didn`t hear them at the door , we were both in the front room ,my wife only thought she heard someone at the door only to be proved right observing them leaving i was in my pj`s and dressing gown so was not going to pursue them.

we have been living here nearly 5 years now and i can honestly say they have never been on our doorstep more than 4 times if that , i personally have only encountered them 3 times at the most.

That an interesting observation.I was talking to my mum,a recent exjw,and we bith think that maybe folks are getting tired if the "armageddon is just around the corner" spiel? I mean,im sorta tuning middle aged here,and I was a baby hearing this crap,and its still not here.Can any sane person really rationalize this?

if so, and it's the type that requires you to switch to 4wd, how often do you use that capability?

i know more than a few people with 4wd capability but never use it.

a couple of these folks don't even know what it's for.
