What do you like to read?

.

i must still be programmed to think like a jw, cause i like to read articles about how bad things are going in the world.

the worse the world conditions become, the more i love to read.

Nowman

I like James Patterson and Dean Koontz books. Currently reading Angels and Demons, a little hard to get into, but it is much better now...The I will start reading Da Vinci Code...

Reveal something interesting that we didn't know about you

ok, i'll start with myself.

i'm a nut job, hey i bet you never knew that !!!

I knew someone would think it was cool. Usually, thats how people remember me at the next X-mas party, "Your the one who could balance a beer bottle on your head", "are you going to do it again this year" with such sincereness! I guess its the little things in life!

Oh, while Iam typing, I have a full glass of water on my head (just wanted to make sure I could still do it), its sitting there very nice...

I can balance beer bottles on my head and dance at the same time, I must have a flat part on my head where glasses and bottles can just sit nicely. This is not a joke, its completely true. So far, I have not met anyone that can do it, I consider it a very special talent.

WHAT RELIGION IS YOUR BRA?

by SWALKER in

a man walked into the ladies department of a macy's and shyly walked up

to the woman behind the counter and said, "i'd like to buy a bra for my

wife.

Nowman

I was an A, alomost boobs. Then I got pregnant, and now I have converted to a B, barely there. In about a month, I will probably voncert to a C. I already have two children...so I know I know how my boobs work...

JW parents/relatives attempts to encourage you to come back or change ...

by alienagent in

i am rather new here, so i may be repeating a worn out subject.

however, for me it is rather a new experience, since i have only just recently stopped going to the kh.

my heart has never really been in it, though i am not in total disagreement and have made some nice friends in "the truth".

Nowman

I ve been dead to my father the elder since October of 1992. I was dead to my mom from Oct 1992 to Sept 2000, when she came to her senses and left that cult and contacted me immediately. It truly hurts. Someday, I hope my dad comes to his senses instead of continuing to waste so much time, its been 14 years already. Hes about to have 3 grandchildren (I have the 3rd one on the way). If only he could see how my 9 year old daughter is growing up and is such a little sweetheart, and my 7 year old son, hes such a boy, such a great kid. He is missing out on so much. My children ask me, wheres your dad, mom? I explain with the littlest amount of details so as to not talk bad about him because what if he does come around some day?

I forgive him. I am not bitter or angry anymore about him shunning me. As I grew older I realized how ridiculous this policy was! But, before this, I cannot express how the shunning affected my life. I was hurt for a long time. I think about him often and I know where he is....if only he knew how happy I was. I wonder, is he truly happy?

Take care and hang in there, its tough, but live your life.

What's the worst dish your mother ever made you eat?

by mrsjones5 in

jw
friends

yep folks this is a fluff topic .

mine is yellow squash with onions.

it's a truely hideous dish.

Nowman

Peas. I always gagged. Eventually, my parents stopped forcing me to eat them because I sometime would throw up from them. After a few years, they realized I could not eat peas. To this day, I will not eat peas. Sometimes Chinese fried rice has peas in it, I never will order from that particular Chinese food place again...In fact, when I a call a place I ve never ordered from, I always ask if the rice has peas in it, if they do, I say thank you and hang up, if they don't, they'll get my business.

Did you have the perfect JW family?

by misspeaches in

just wondering... how many of us had the perfect jw family?.

by that i mean, never in trouble with the elders, no loss of restrictions, no disphellowshippings, disassociatings, fadings, reproof - public or private.. of course most of us fit one of these categories.

what about any other families in your congregations?

Nowman

People in our KH had the perception we had the perfect family, but behind closed doors it was different. Dad was an elder, mom a pioneer, me a pioneer. As I got older though, people started in the hall started to realize that I was probably going to leave the org eventually strictly because of my parents. People would offer to take me away for the weekends to catch a break. Little did they know, their thinking was correct. I was tired of being abused.

Movie - A Perfect World

by Twitch in

this movie was on this afternoon and i watched a bit of it.

i've seen it before.. for those who haven't seen it, it's essentially a convict on the run who takes a little boy with him.

kevin costner plays the con who takes a liking to the kid.

Nowman

Yes, I remember that part too which reminded me of when I was kid and I was staying at my aunts house (she was not a JW), she came up with a quick costume (think it was a cat) and took me around the neighborhood to go trick or treating...I thought that was the coolest thing, she and I never told my parents, I kept it a secret.
