  Why did you pick the name you have now

  by label licker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if your name describes what you saw, how you were treated when you were "in" or now "out", maybe your personality, ect.... i'm label licker and the why i picked this name was because of all the licking up one side of elders and down the other to either be an elder or ministerial servant.

  one time i was standing right in front of this brother who wasn't made an ms yet and he totally ignored me and talked right over my head speaking really loud trying to catch the co's attention.. got sick of watching the poor elderly sitting all alone or standing against the wall like a wall flower with noone to talk to and yet all these label lickers would take turns picking up the elders elderly parents and take them shopping and do their groceries at least four times a week while out in service, yet, there was noone there to take a meal to a sister who just got out of the hospital with a heart attack.

  when i had shown up at her apartment with a meal she asked if i could wash her private and change her bandages.

  It's the closest thing to free counselling. Might not be a perfect fit but might give you some insight and an outlet for feelings.

  I received my gift on Monday. Thank you, Santa! My little 'sun-bathing snowman' is so cute and proudly sitting next to my monitor in direct line of the sun beam.

  On the other hand, I ordered the gift for my recipient 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, it is still out-of-stock. If it does not ship in the next couple of days I will cancel and send something else.

  I feel soo bad that it did not make it in time for Christmas. Really I do!!

  Good Reasons To Hate Every Weak And Ex-Jehovah Witness.

  by AuntConnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .

  i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.

  my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .

  @Hortensia - Good catch. I noticed that, too. One of those things that raises an eyebrow.

  Troll or not, I prefer to not label and let the conversation progress. Who knows but that newbies and lurkers get something out of the discussion.

  Well, AuntConnie, I am glad you found a place to vent. Sounds like it's a long time coming.

  I would like to suggest that in addition to writing more to get out your frustrations, disappointments and anger, take some time to just be quiet and think on some of the comments that people have shared here on your thread.

  We are all types of people here and our collective experience is enormous.

  On page one of the thread someone suggested you say 'Thank you' for having this free site available to you. Someone developed it and continues to pay every month out of his pocket and he spends his time to maintain it. There are 1000's of people who contribute their thoughts and support.

  Instead of hearing any shred of appreciation for anything in your past and present life, you just seem so hateful and angry. Too hateful to even say 'thank you' to the dozens of people who took time out of their evening to respond to your rant.

  And this comment in your last post is probably the most un-Christ-like thing I have ever heard: "we both decided they are weak and don't deserve to associate with us."

  I hope you stick around a bit. And, as has already been suggested, you may want to consider visiting a psychologist in your area. Your emptiness and disatisfaction and anger come across loud and clear. It's not normal and it's not healthy. It's definitely not reflective of christianity in any form.

  -Aude Sapere (meaning: Dare to Know; Dare to Have Wisdom/Understanding)

  Edit to Add: I see that AuntConnie edited her last post to include a thank you. That was nice. Thank you - and you are welcome.

  I ordered the gift for my recipient last week. Unfortunately, I got confirmation saying they are out of stock so delivery will happen shortly after Christmas.

  So very sorry for delayed delivery but sending direct to recipient to save delivery time. I hope you like it!
