A question on the Central Wisconsin Apostate Hotbed Activity!

friends

well, i have to take my primo apostate hat off to all of you that have done the fine work in marshfield and neillsville.

now....being in nearby wisconsin rapids, i have a question.

we da'd, and everyone shuns us.

loathjw

Oh how I miss Wisconsin, and not so very far away...

And gee, I wonder? My husband's family is from there and I understand his brother is, well, like the top presiding elder there.

I've never been a JW, my husband was DFed when I met him--why won't they shun him already? Oh please, oh please!

Instead, his JW parents have been trying to get him back together with his skanky DFed ex for the past 22 years!

I didn't even meet him until after the tramp dumped him for another man--and then got DFed herself for screwing his JW friends!

When I met him, he was a full blown alcoholic, busy trying to commit suicide, and came pretty close to suceeding. I stupidly forgave my husband's JW parents for trying to break up our marriage for his ex the first few times because I do believe the true reason we forgive our enemies is not for their sake, but to heal ourselves.

Now, I had also written my story on these boards a few years back, and thought the situation was resolved, so I stopped. But then his parents pulled it all over again just recently and I'm done keeping silent to try to remain civil and be the "adult". I want this freak show to end! I want closure! So my husband and I wrote the elders and told them that "sometimes, the only protection we have against evil is to expose it."

Now, considering the fact that when I lived in Wisconsin, I worked at "gossip central" where I was the reigning queen and know, oh, pretty much everyone. So how many people do you think I've been sharing my story with there? The truth is, I know lots of witnesses there, who call to tell me everything his parents have been doing with his DFed ex in Wisconsin--because the woman had sex with their husbands too!

It appears that elders aren't required to obey the rules they set for other members of the congregation, so even though all the witnesses know, his parents can apparently do whatever they want!

So I'll be hoping to see you at the next apostate fest--coming soon to an area near you. Maybe they're wondering if you know me? Maybe you do because I'm an incredibly loud and vocal person, credible too.

hummm

One of my gay employees was just telling me about women who are attracted to gays because they think they can convert them. Gays call them "fag hags".

Rape is a different story though--it's not about sex, it's about power, and I seriously don't believe there is any rehabilitation that exists for that.

Your Favorite New Music Videos

by daystar in

there are various places where you can link to music videos online.

i won't be much help with anyone else finding links to their favorites.. but tell us what you favorite music videos these days are!.

mine is this one from a group most of you have never heard of (big surprise), name sigur ros.

loathjw

My favorite is Ludicras--"Get back, get back, you don't know me like that".

I sing along while thinking about the JWs in my life--FOR GOD'S SAKE, SHUN ME ALREADY!

I'm seriously thinking of becoming a witness, just so I can become disfellowshipped and get left alone forever.

Anyone watching "Two and a Half Men"??

by Super_Becka in

.

hehehe, this must be a common thing on tv lately, i've been seeing a lot of people mentioning this here on the board.. i'm watching "two and a half men" right now, and in the pre-credits intro part, two of the main characters were talking, and one of them was bragging about the great sex he'd had the night before, and there was a knock on the door.. "hello brother, we're here to tell you about the good news!!".

the character invites them in to tell them about his nocturnal adventures.. i don't know if they were supposed to be mormons or jehovah's witnesses, but they certainly reminded me of jws with their white shirts and ties with the books in hand, and i loved how they looked absolutely mortified with the other character started bragging about sex.. is it just me or are mormons/jws turning up at the butt of jokes a lot on tv lately??.

I watched--that was great!

Saw Scrubs too--I have Tivo!

The Handmaid's Tale

by freedomlover in

has anyone read this book?

i found it among a stack of free books that our library has out each week.

it was a bestseller years ago.

loathjw

I didn't read the book, but saw the movie.

Not so shocking. The bible speaks of handmaidens--in the old testament if a woman was barren, she was to send her handmaiden into her husband so he could have heirs. No doubt that's where the author of the book got the concept, and then put it in a future setting.

Also in the old testament, if a man died, his brother was also required to marry his widow. I WORKED for a fundamentalist way down in the bible belt of the Southern Baptists who took this literally, and married his brother's wife so he could care for their 6 children. My boss was a computer "geek", very smart, but typical "nerd"--tall, skinny, glasses, white shirt with pocket protector! His brother had been the opposite and quite the ladies' man, so the wife was drop-dead gorgeous. His brother also was kind of a loser, while my boss was one smart businessman, made lots of money, and treated his deceased brother's wife like a queen. I think they were both happy with the arrangement.

I liked working there but the only thing was that quite often I would be the only one who showed up for work on Monday mornings. I learned this was because the rest of the staff was in jail for picketing the abortion clinics (remember: bible belt). At first I couldn't understand why my boss wasn't pissed at them for doing this so often, until I learned that he was also in jail, right along with them!

Upside/down

You sound very much like my husband when I met him. His ex spent most of their marriage flirting with other guys, looking to "better deal" him, until she finally dumped him for another guy. When I met him he was a full-blown alcoholic, who wasn't just depressed, he was hospitalized for trying to kill himself--twice! All he ever wanted was to be a good JW, with a wife and children, and she took all that away from him.

Then he met me, sobered up and straightened out his life. You see the thing is when someone hurts you, I never could understand why some people internalize that anger and "beat themselves up", when it should be directed outwards against the rotten evil bastards who screwed you over. Don 't let anyone kid you, anger can be very constructive. It sure beats the hell out of depression. You don't have to break the law and get yourself in trouble to express that anger either, but you do have to figure out a course of action that will allow you some peace and catharsis.

Living well is the best revenge, yes, I've always felt that way, and for the most part it works. But my husband's evil JW parents will not shun us and leave us in peace, so I'm still working on it...

but, as a parent, i'm not sure how to talk to her about it, as it's something i'm familar with.

Oh Blessed Star

Try reading the bible without adding or subtracting a single word. God's word is perfectly clear and in no need of translation. You will not find anything you posted about homosexuality anywhere in the bible.

Those who feel the need to translate what God REALLY meant are just making stuff up for their own personal agendas.

Jesus himself never addressed the issue.

That was not an omission.

I had that "itch" over the weekend.

by jojochan in

you know the feeling...seperation anxiety.

after that relationship with that "woman" went down the toilet i noticed one creepy thing.

i had way too much time on my hands.

I'll take hate over depression anyday.

Better is not caring.

Best of all is when you reach the point of blissful happiness in having found a new love.

Take care

mum settled again and remarried a third time when i was around 12,id started a new high school,maybe its just those teens but i went off the rails with mum,i was terrible,didnt mean to be,but i blamed her for all my hurt and life and id rebel at everything,drinking started,running away started and i just wish now i could have felt close when alls i wanted was to love and be loved back...the next bit until now{im 25 now} is what is killing more than ever and id very much appreciate your thoughts because im lower than ever and still scared....mum is very much here in my life now...its only been a few months but shes heartbroken and the love and understanding has been tremendous off her,she blames herself but i blame me.....

when i started the new highschool i met this girl,she became my friend at the time and it was so good to have a friend id do anything she said....anyway she needed some money once and said i know this guy you can come to with me and he will pay you to touch your boobs,thats when it started i agreed because if i said no then shed probably laughed at me,so i went....,it sounds strange{he was nearly 50} but he was very very nice,and said i dont like the person whos brought you up here,shes nasty...,i hated him touch me but i was scared....but at same time i felt i could really trust him,me and this girl never did stay friends....theres another big big part in all of this,but from 13 this guy became the bestest friend i ever had in my whole life,but everything was a big secret,its lasted years...he had an hold over me,though i knew he was supposed be my friend i knew he musnt really be one else he wouldnt put me through the torture of crying and not coping when i had my baby...my babe is 8now but still when i let him touch my boobs so i can buy the best part of my life something nice or take him somewhere that man would buy bigger and better and undermine all my hurt....
