I like pulling on my colours, going to the pub & having a few laid back beers & then shouting on my footy team. A simple pleasure that takes me back to my childhood family activities which I unfortunately sacrificed under the guise of pleasing god. Watching my dad's hface as he realises that he has me back as a normal son is fairly good as well. Thinking for myself & expressing my opinions. Telling everyone that my children & my family come 1st in my life above EVERYTHING. I just love being me again.

Forbidden Pleasures ......
by BobsGirl inthis morning on the way to work, i burst into song.
not just any song ... but the heretofore forbidden "star spangled banner".
i just felt like singing and i wanted to sing something challenging and it seemed like the perfect choice.

Did you return to celebrating holidays?
by song19 inwith this new light, i am starting to try and figure out what to do with my life and my time... now that the world is opened up for me to finally explore.. i have been wondering if i will return to celebrating the holidays with my 'worldly' relatives.
my parents, brother, and in-laws are all witnesses.
i have pretty much rejected the holidays say for 25 years.

Fancy discussing the manner in which people will die. Sick bastards! Really, I despair with this nonsense.

Observations about dubs as people...
by Princess Daisy Boo ini was thinking back on some of the people i knew growing up, as well as my own family - many of whom are dubs... tell me what your own experiences are of these kind of people, did you notice a large prevalence of these types of people in the congs you attended:.
1. health nuts: into all sorts of alternative health theories like iridology, reflexology, homeopathy etc?
2. get rich quick folk: always getting involved in this scheme or that, this business or that - especially pyramid type things?.

I would prefer my children to die than to have them Df'd
by lilyflor ini was still in the "troof" a couple of years ago when my mom said that to my face, in front of my husband no less.. he was a jw as well, he couldn't believe it.
my reply was "well i will give my life to save my children and if god sees fit to punish me for that - that's his choice".

Have heard numerous comments like these and they are sickening. One elder told me that when the big A kicks off, he 'wants to see the wicked die'. Like, he wanted to watch it happening. Do they not realise that it makes them look like a right bunch of mentalist fannies? "Out of the hearts abundance, the mouth speaks".

Jehovah allowed 140,000 dead in Burma will they understand it was needed??
by Witness 007 inyes the tsunami killed 250,000 and now afew years later approx.
140,000 dead in burma....will people understand that this was all needed to prove we needed jehovah's rule in our lives?
he allowed this to prove a point.....not to mention the ethnic cleansing in burma which killed just as many.

The tsunami was something which finally confirmed to me that I didn't believe in god. The ensuing stories and TV pictures just made me so sad & it somehow reaffirmed that I could not be close to a god who allows this kind of misery for ANY reason. A kind & loving father does not sit back and watch as his children suffer. I act when I feel my kids are in danger - immediately! I do ANYTHING to stop bad things happening to them. 'God' doesn't. Comparing god to a loving, caring father is an insult to all good parents.

Not Happy
by SWM inthis morning i saw a couple of jehova's witnesses strolling through the neighbourhood.
the wise-ass in me decided to stick a note on the door saying: "i am not interested in your false god.
keep on walking.

What's the dumbest thing you've ever heard a JW say?

Where do you start? One of the best was this; "The brothers, not the organisation, got over excited about 1975. And, after all, the society did apologise later on, for any part they played in heightening expectation". I think I remember reading the 'apology'. It was more of an accusation than an apology.
