my daughter has been 'going out' with a black gentleman for the last year.
they are very much in love by the looks of things and have long term plans.. however, opposition has recently come from somewhere i did not expect.
it turns out that he has been very upset with his mother since she made several unpleasant remarks to him.
CHIDDY, JAYHAWK, MOSHE:
YOU ARE RACIST. PERIOD.
I agree. Chiddy your wife may be Thai, but you can hate other races. My father's mixed race, and if you said that you him, he'd knock your block off. He's a well clued up person. If the big A did come tomorrow, I'd like to see bigots no matter what colour they are get done away with.
i work in an environment at work that is a mix of adult ranging in age from 18-50. there are 300 plus people in the building, and that means you get a lot of soap operas happening from people sleeping with other people's girlfriends, boyfriends and even people cheating on their spouses with people they work with.
among the bunch is a large group of people who spend a lot of time passing themselves around, and sampling many sexual partners.
of the people who i know, i have often found that many do not seem as happy as one might think.
****************The manager at one of the jobs I work at is a 'ho'. I've been there for 5 years and he has slept with every woman that has ever worked there except for me. I found this out one day when he told me he 'loved me'I said...you only say that because I'm the only woman here that you haven't had sex with....he admitted that it was probably true. ************
Lisa. Good on you. Some men are letches, but so are some women. I know a girl at work who's a slapper. She has asked quite a few men at work, me in particular since she works mainly along side me, "would you cheat on your wife?" She would also ask, "You like my breast they nice and big." A few have responded to her advances, and had affairs. Her brother told me last year that she has a low self-esteem and depression, and she's always on the look out for a man to settle down with and treat her nice. Maybe her insecurity has led her to a promiscuous life.
your all apostates!..every last,god forsaken,one of you..you`ve left jehovah..thats why your all,so unhappy!
!...outlaw
I'm back to my old happy cheeky self since I've left.
well, according to our pontiff in residence alan f anyway.
what is this some kind of promotion?
after all, i used to used to be an unreformed apologist troll.
I had an idea you're an apologist. You sound like my stupid wife.
.... how often does it lead to an eventual exit?.
i know some real nice, joined as adult jw's who have had a major fallout with their cong.. they are model, idealistic jw's.
but politics between these folks and an elder led to him being summarily stripped of his "privileges".
My life was made hell by one particular elder who told wicked lies about me, and the rest of the BOE backed him up. I'm not going into detail at this stage, but I eventually resigned as a ms. This was the final straw with this organisation, about a month before I left, the elders realised that it wasn't true, but this idiot is still an elder to this day.
well there we were settling down to watch tv last evening.
we'd all had a hectic day and i'd started a stinker of a head cold!.
there was a loud knock at the door.
Gill, I would have been like you extremely mad. The cheek he had getting his car fixed by hubby after shunning you both. I would have gave him a mouthful. But in saying that, I learnt something today. Your hubby heaped fiery coals on their heads by being courteous. If I find myself in the same situation, I'm going to do the same.
At least twice a year, the local needs in my first congregation was always about gossip. The sisters in that hall were the most vicious bunch of vipers I ever came across. Although I thought the elders were a pain in the neck, they were constantly pulling their hair out because of the problem. I was a source of gossip about ten years ago, because being a single ms, a lot of lonely desperate sisters viewed me as a catch. One particular unbaptised sister spread the rumour that me and her were courting which wasn't true, and would try to grab my attention at every meeting. Well the sisters had a field day, fortunately the elders put a stop to by having a local needs talk. This sister wasn't allowed to get baptised for a year. And the congregation wonders why those that move never want to visit.
***********Jesus didn't just teach - he fed people, healed people, cared for them. And he did it for all types - regardless of whether they followed him or not.************
Dawn you're spot on. Before Jesus gave his Sermon on the Mount. He did these things BEFORE, he started teaching the crowds. I witness a horrible traffic accident on my way to take field service arrangement. I didn't turn up, as I was helping as much as I can, being a qualified first aider. I was told off by the field service overseer for neglecting my duties, as a sister had to take the arrangement. To me helping out was more important than knocking on someones door, who may never have been in during the day anyway. Since then, I returned to contributing by direct debit, to a few charities I strongly believed in before I became a dud. Now that I'm out. I always give food parcels to the local Salvation Army. The wts always quote Acts 20:35 "......There's more happiness in giving than there is in receiving" Yes I more happier now helping my fellow man in need, than preaching to receive a pat on my back.
.
we had a thread yesterday about how many years we spent in the wts, so let's total up how many years it is since we lef or, if you are fading, since you last attended a meeting.. it's just over a year since i last went, and almost 7 since my bf last went, so our total is 8 years.. feel free to add your years out.
3 1/2 years.
(of course, do not give out their real names) i want to keep this thread going!
i think mine would be to the elder that got up and moved as far away as he could from me in the restaurant!
"the next time i see you in a restaurant, i hope you choke on a chicken bone!
I wouldn't even waste my breath. I'd shun them.
