hello chumz on the board.
nothing really to do with jwism but who prefers the american 'bourbon' type such as 'wild turkey', 'jim beam' etc or who prefers a fine single malt scotch such as 'glenfiddich' or 'glenmorangie'?
i am not trying to stir up nationalism with this question but am just genuinely curious.. lfcv.

it seemed that running my business and all the meetings at the hall, plus my social life was taking a toll on my time.
there was a brother at the hall, that was married, and a very good public speaker (used to be a radio announcer) .
anyhow, he was always short on cash and was agreeable to my offer as follows............... if i was assigned to give a talk out of town at a neighboring congregation, i would pay him to take the talk for me as a substitute (at the time $25.00) and then i would stay home that day.. i gave him $10 for an instruction talk, $10 for a service meeting part, and $5 for anything else such as reading the watchtower sundays or a bible reading, etc.. it was a 'win, win' situation for both of us.. outaservice (now out of money).
A Hoot!! Absolutely a hoot and a holler.
woo!
anyway, a crazy thing happened yesterday.
my little brother came online and we chatted.
Man that's tough, cuz anything you say will catch his attention and alert him to the fact that you've been using the Internet Machine and getting edumacated about false religion. But you can't just let him go, I know.
my husband is a super dude, kind sweet, smart, in general he's just the best.
his paternal grandfather died last week on valentine's day at the age of 92. my husb was as close to his gp as he is to his father, which is silly according to the jws, as gp was catholic and my husb's dad is a jw, he should have been an ideal father.. aside from the religious tension, my husband's parents are completely awful to him: say stupid things to him-he asked if he could borrow gp's car for a day or so, they said 'ooooh but you have to be careful and not wreck it' (he's never had an at-fault accident)to which he said "nevermind about the car", accuse him of threatening them (take words like: 'this is the last time we'll see each other' to mean that he's about to murder them) and spread bs about him to our ex friends in the cong in phx.
plus, the father was an abusive bastard -physically and mentally - to my husband and his sister when they were kids; the mother, she's just an ignorant fool of a person.

Plus, the father was an abusive bastard -physically and mentally - to my husband and his sister when they were kids; the mother, she's just an ignorant fool of a person. My husband packed up and flew to Phx last Thurs with just 10 hrs notice (GP died early in the am on Wed, they couldn't call us until 7pm that night for some reason) and has stayed w/ his also ex-JW sister for a week, who is the best friend and sister to him that you could ask for.
He returns to CO tomorrow, so today he called his ignorant parents to see if he and his sister could come over to visit (since they've only seen them at the funeral on Sat.) His dad's reply: 'Well I'm sleeping (mid-day) and your mother is out, so, . . .' So no visit.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU JEHOVAH FOR THESE MODEL CITIZENS AND PARENTS, MAY WE BE THE OPPOSITE OF THEM WITH OUR OWN KIDS!!!

i called my dad the other day crying and left a message saying daddy i need u pick up i need you and right in the middle, click my step mom (i m guessing) hung up on me.
i also emailed him pretending to be my husband several times and he always answered before, im so scared for him .
hes bi polar like my brother who died two years ago from suicide.
Awww. Sorry to hear of your plight. I hope your dad is well. You're a good daughter, and screw those damned elders!
thanks so much for the really warm welcome.
just a small confession .. my last post was actually written a couple months ago before i'd gotten the nerve to post.
i copied and pasted it ... and forgot to update it.. my wedding came off in december 2006, and my mom did attend.
Sweeeeeet!
hi, my name is corey, i live in indiana, so much to tell, allot of witness history.
i was a ms and regular pioneer for two years...got df'ed, don't know what to do or if i believe in god or not now...have had a few beers tonight, got mad at my gf.
corey
Corey, dude. Welcome. You express yourself really well, keep writing to us - you are not only helping yourself, but everyone who reads you.
There's a lot of guilt among people who've 'lost their virginity' outside of marriage, even years later; this is typical of people who are surrounded by the JW belief that every private act or secret thought is a sin. So place blame where it belongs: on the mind-sucking secret society of which we were once a part, the JWs.
Love your son; and if the relationship is a keeper, love your GF too. That's all that matters.
Keep posting!

when i first got the courage to sign up to jwd all sorts of emotions flooded in.
mostly i was angry at having wasted years of my life struggling to please the watchtower society and god.
in one of my first posts i asked if anyone had gone and apologised to former bible students for teaching them lies, and i thought perhaps i should.
The brainwashing continues.
Great response, Bigmouth.
