*"Because you were reproved, your "privileges" are removed. You can go out and service and you can talk at the doors."

Weird... my jc said no talky talky at the door.

I remember visiting a friend in another state while being PR and at the bookstudy the conducto called on me (no hand up, me zoning out) and asked me a question from the book. It was an awkward moment.

I got PR'd when I was 17. I was baptized (at 13) and could of really given a rat's ass, except that I was terrified of my dad. I had moved out, and he said I couldn't talk to my lil' brothers/sisters or my mom. I got back in the good graces a year later to only be DF'd a year after that.
The best was I couldn't answer at the meetings, or talkat the door in service. OHH. BOO-HOO!!!

Is it me, or is this as tacky as it comes?

by Icansaylucky in

this week there was a obituary of an elder i knew when i was a witty.

he had several children and a wife.

the obit didn't say anything accept: "so and so died after a lengthy illness, he was member of the jehovah's witnesses.

On the subject of tacky (or plain f'd up) funeral talks...my son's jw father passed away a couple years ago in a horrible accident. So there we are for the funeral-memorial service in the same hall I had married him in fourteen years ago. (wisely married at 19 folks)
Anyway, Bro. Dickhead is going on and on about this witnees train on their way to the New System and how the resurrected are like houses in the night with their lights turned on. ARE YOU KIDDING???
I grew up a jw and was completely lossed. There were almost 500 ppl there, half not jw. If they didn't already think witnesses were crazy psychos they for sure do now.
Then to top it off, he never mentioned my son once...not even during the prayer. Just rambled on and on and asked Oz to help wife #2 through this rough time. I almost stood up and yelled. "hey asshole. His kid would like some help too"

Sorry. Still gets me all a fired up.

Which is leading me to another thread I will start later. How to talk to my son about the jws. *coming soon*

not all my sins were sexual...most of them maybe. but they always liked to ask who was playing with my breasts, no matter what the topic of the jc. i should have told them i was.

lots of times. the big guys in my halls had nothing better to do.
i won't bore/excite you all with the juicy details, but there is nothing more humiliating than being a teenage girl/woman in front of three dirty old men asking you personal explicit questions. some which have nothing to do with your case.
especially when one of those meetings involved your abusive father (who was sitting right there!!!)
they can all burn in hell.

when i got off for lunch today i decided to go to the walmart deli and get something to eat.

it is a huge store, groceries, a bakery, mc donalds, a bank , eye center, beauty shop, a great deli, and a huge garden center.

i had taken back a 80 gig hard drive dvd recorder ( i couldn't figure out how to hook up <smile> and had received 238.00. i picked up a couple of things in the store then went to the deli.

who came up with 'jehoobie"?
it's hilarious.

i seriously can't imagine annie actually thought the great and wonderful OZ helped her fetch her belongings.
but, then i remember praying for crazy shit because i was seriously desperate...please let me not be pregnant, please don't let that check bounce etc...

either way, she's here for a reason. she'll figure out which direction she wants to go on her own. she is slowly becoming that independant thinker we are all striving to be.
good luck annie. we are here for you. and happy you got your stuff back.
