Smart kid, sometimes children are better at spotting the lies. When my daughter was four she urged me to divorce her dad and marry a rich man so I could quit work and stay home with her. Too bad I didn't follow that advice, lol.

Merry Christmas!
by lambsbottom inwow, 4 years!
it has been a real journey.
going from a devout jw, to having a close call with a loved one possibly needing a transfusion, to researching the heck out of everything, to letting it rest and go back to sleep for a while, to moving states and almost going crazy knowing all the bs they were speaking from the platform.

I am so happy for you, glad things are going well, thanks for letting us know. So many times people come here in a crisis, get support, then move on in their lives. That's really what should happen, but it's nice to get confirmation sometimes.
Felix Navidad!

I got a new Ryobi drill/driver and a new Jigsaw. My old ones were worn out, so I'm pretty excited about that. Some clothes and jewelry too, but I'm more excited about my tools, lol. -

American accents, Bette Midler, Clinton, Rick Fearon, Strathclyde, Morningside
by slimboyfat ini used to enjoy being able to distinguish different local accents, but for some reason i've got worse at it.
i was thinking about this today when i was listening to bette midler on the scottish radio.
i thought to myself i quite liked her accent and also that it reminded me of someone else.

e don't say 'eh'; we end our sentences with 'right?' And i never heard the word 'hoser' before the McKenzie Bros. movie came out in theatres (Strange Brew).
My daughter has an ear for languages, and can do just about any accent, she saw the move like five times and did a "Strange Brew" thing for months after seeing it. People have actually asked her if she is English, or Australian or whatever.
The only way I can tell Canadians is the way some say "aboot" instead of about

What did you have for Christmas dinner?
by GrreatTeacher inmy inlaws are polish, though my husband is a 3rd generation american, but the food traditions have stuck around.. we have christmas eve dinner starting with red beet soup with sour cream, pierogies filled with mashed potatoes or saurkraut, ham, polish sausage sliced and cooked with saurkraut, turkey (that part is american), krischickies (likely spelled wrong) which are crispy pastries dipped in powdered sugar, and apple pie (also american.).
there are goodnatured threats toward bad children who may need to get their dupa busted (butt spanked) and therefore santa will bring figismachen.
i also love golabkis (ground beef and rice wrapped in cabbage leaves), but these were not served this time.

someone is a danger to themselves and others when they have a veg peeler in their hand and when it comes to veg I'm firmly on the side of the "abstain from blood"
Are you implying that women can't handle knives properly??? (Says Lisa who is currently sporting a band aid having just prepared bloody apples for the cheese board) -

Its beyond obnoxious, especially given how they condemn people for celebrating Christmas. People are busy with family, preparing food, eating and opening gifts, and here comes Debbie Downer telling them they are wrong to do it. I think I might have done it once when I was a new convert, but it didn't feel right and I never did again.

Americans are somewhat losing their regional accents, too many people move around and also due to the influence of television. My parents were from Texas, but they moved to California and consciously got rid of their accents, Texans were looked down upon at that time (late forties), but I could still pick it up from a few things my dad said, likes hep instead of help. A Texas twang is similar to southern, but not exactly. In Texas when you walk into a store the clerk will always say "how ya'all doing?", it's very cute. I am a California girl, so no accent.
If you want to hear a distinctive American accent, watch the movie Fargo. They got a North Dakota/minnesota accent down. Not as distinct as a southern accent, it's as much the words they use as the way they say it don't-ya-know.

Where the real abuse lies.
by ctrwtf inlet me start with a disclaimer: i am in no way minimizing the horrific crimes done to children by pedophiles.
i'm not downplaying the number of lives lost due to the blood issue, or hearts broken because of shunning.
i do not want to discount the feelings of those who have come to the end of their lives with expectations of paradise postponed.. but to me the biggest atrocity committed by this awful cult is raising children from a small age to believe that soon god will kill billions of people.

I agree this is a horrible thing. It's not unlike the people who stood idly by while the the Germans killed the Jews. The mental toll it takes to make yourself OK with the idea of the gruesome deaths of billions of people is no small thing.
