  I was in the modern day drama back in 1987 or 1988 at the DC in Chicago (I think I was at Hawthorne or Sprotsman racetrack?) and I played a worldy girl named Dolly Winters, I had a "crush" on a JW boy named Randy (part of the story), in the end Randy got Dolly to agree to a bible study, how perfect! I remember being out there dreaming about actually leaving the org, I had wished I was Dolly Winters....hey, I was 13 years old!

  I wish I could remember the name of the Drama, my mom and dad were in it too, they played a JW couple that had marital problems, had to actually yell and scream at each other...it actually was a fun time for me, I was a kid, it felt good at the time to be asked to be in it, you know?

  check out this sad, sad obituary and picture in my local newspaper.

  the body was found after 5 days in the river by a fisherman.

  police are 'investigating' but no headlines about homicide.

  To Davids Mother-

  Thank you giving us a "little" tid bit about your son David. I could picture him while reading your post, its a great trait to be able to make people laugh. Although, I am what you call an apostate, I truly am sorry for your loss but respect your beliefs of hope to meet with him again.

  I respect that you posted here and told us about David.

  Take care Davids mom!

  How Do YOU Handle Busybodies?

  by minimus in

  we all know elders believe they have the god given right to ask any question they want, especially if they are "investigating" a matter that could be "judicial" in nature.

  but not only elders are known to ask personal questions.

  i've seen elder's wives ask inappropriate questions simply because they were "elder's wives".

  I have in-laws that are busy bodies, and I am so sick of it, that it seems to work if I just say "mind your own business, there is no need for me to explain anything to you". Why did they have to know why I needed to brush my teeth before I went to get an ignitor for my dryer?

  Yes, its a bit rude...but it works with them.

  Yes I drip dry my husbands clothes, some of mine because I don't want them to shrink up

  I hate to take clothes to be dry cleaned, I take that, I like the return of dry clean clothes because it had been so long since I dropped off that its like having something new to wear

  No press clothes for money

  Yes I mangle the laundry sometimes

  I think a tip for looking smart, is just being yourself and having confidence

  Did I help you with your study?

  I feel Adam will win, but really impressed with Kris Allen singing Heartless the other night...I am very happy about the final 2. Although, I thought Danny was great, I just did not think he was the best. This is probably my favorite Ai year, haveing been watching since the 2nd season.

  my experience?

  in the past few years, i liked to research stuff on the internet for talks.

  and for experiences, i used to google jw's to see news articles.. then one day last year, i saw this site, and it said that it discusses anything related to jw's.

  My mom had told me about Silent Lambs, which then led me to freeminds.org, which then led me here...I don't remember my 1st post...but I do remember being highly addicted to coming here, it was Feb 2006 and I joined, and kept coming back..I needed to know more about this religion that I grew up in...I know more about the org now then I did while growing up. Reading the stories here made me feel better, this site helped me get rid of guilt and finally face the reality that growing up that was not right.

  Wife has a new sister leading her study......

  by insearchoftruth in

  2. beliefs

  well we moved to another city and my wife was handed off to another sister for her study, even though it was only about 10 minutes from where the previous sister lived.

  is this standard practice, will a person really only work in thier own territory??

  my wife seems to like this sister she is studying with, and last week i met her and her husband, seem like pretty nice people, both born into the organization and seem to be pretty brainwashed by the stuff.

  Growing up I went to a KH in a pretty well-off area, where we lived in this KH territory, was middle class/blue collar...but most of the husbands in this KH were well off, mercedes & BMWs etc....nice big homes...some of them were elders...don't remember any regular pioneer wives though, they just went out in service regularly (required hours +).

  I think it depends on where you live.

  Sorry, but my worst injury was when I had my son Dylan, he was 9 lbs 2oz (I am 5 ft) and I got 40 stiches due to child birth.

  I remind Dylan everyday of what he put me through-LOL, hes 10 now. Loves his mom.
