  My in-laws (Sister, brother, mom, dad in law) are my neighbors, so someone from my in-laws is always over. I put up with alot, but I let alot roll off my shoulders. That is, up until the point, they start getting into our business too much or they want to try to control the situation. I love them dearly, but just this weekend I had to tell them to mind their own business and I do not have to justify anything to them. Once they left, I said "love you guys" and that was it. If they are pissed at me, they will get over it, I had every right to do what I did, hence the reason why they did not say anything when I told them what I did. I did not go ballistic, I was calm, but firm. Inside I was thinking, do you people ever stop???

  I understand!

  Ya hoo eee sacolton! Rush Hour 2, too bad Riki Tan was not in Rush Hour 3!

  I went to Taiwan this past October on business, and I cannot tell you how much fun I had quoting lines from both the 1st & 2nd Rush Hours, they were not offended, they ate it up. I would say seriously, "Do you know Riki Tan?" Do you know about his boat, the Red Dragon?"...how funny they new the lines, and it was funny to hear an American girl know so much about it. Honestly, I got better pricing from them because of Rush Hour .

  So excited I could *pOp*

  okay - for the last hour 2 friends and i have been sitting and talking business.

  it started out as a joke on how we could digitise magazine and download them into a very real business idea re: the soccer world cup happening here in 2010.. it is a brilliant idea, which i will share in completion once we have registered / patented it so that it can't be stolen.

  plus plus we can use it to uplift previously disadvantaged people, the only thing is they may not be able to cope with the demand - how awesome is that - i'm going to be helping people make a living - wow - skipping with happiness.. i haven't been this excited for a looooooooooooooooong time - i really do feel like my brain could pop with all the ideas - the thing is ... it's so so doable.

  Loubelle,

  See, all you needed was time. Now you have something to look forward to (hint to previous threads)! I look forward to hearing about it.

  Sleeping your life away?

  by sweetface2233 in

  "life is too short", "carpe diem", "eat, drink, and be merry...", "never put off till tomorrow..." we have all heard these phrases, taken them to heart, and burned ourselves out on the stress from them.

  i say...screw that shite!

  the only thing keeping me from jumping out the window of my 6th story apt or driving my car into the back of one of the metro buses on the beltway is knowing that, if one of those actions do take place, i won't be able to nap that afternoon.

  The only time I nap is when I have not gotten enough sleep. I know I am too hyper to sleep more than 6-8 hours per night, I wake up right before my alarm clock always, eyes wide open. I know many people that are nappers (including my hubby), can't do it.

  Do JW's attract the mentally ill, or do their beliefs cause mental illness?

  have you observed a higher than normal number of mentall ill among jw's?

  if so, do you think the religon attracts the mentally ill, or do you think that their beliefs and practices actually cause mental illness?.

  In my opinion, those that are mentally ill, insecure, looking elsewhere for a hope for the future, are easy prey for religious cults. I know this to be true because living examples are my parents who converted later in life.

  The WTBS does cause people to be mentally ill or it takes awhile to get over what you thought was so important when in the org, either way my parents are living example of it. In fact, I myself am a living example that I am affected my it, and I have been out for 15 years!!! Hence the reason why I continue to come here for support.

  Its OK that I am still affected by it, I try not to let it consume me, but there are some days I am really pissed off that my childhood was wasted on the WTBS. The concrete evidence actually can be viewed on this board.

  Anyone else ever do this

  i remember how much emphasis the org used to put on studying your publications, and how looking at other peoples books during the meeting was like seeing a lazar show with bright, hot, multicolored, florescent highlighted pages.

  but i never personally enjoyed studying (even when i was more hardcore in it) so since i used to have privileges/responsibilities one of the requirements was to study for all the meetings, so before the meetings i would take a hot yellow and florescent blue marker and quickly just start marking up my books so that it looked like it was studied.

  sometimes to look even more spiritual i would take a pen and start writing random crap in the margins, even scribble lines so from far away it looked likes cursive.

  At my last hall, I won the different color highlighting contest that we had because I was the world's best highlighter! I also won the world's smallest handwriting in the margins contest too. Ok, I am only kidding, but honestly I made it an art!!! I totally know what you mean! My parents were so proud when they would see all the beautiful colors and writing in the margins! Sometimes I was in the mood to be a good little JW, sometimes I was in the mood to be a bad little JW. In the end, at 18, I chose the bad JW route.
