If I was in Gumby's congregation I'd switch out his donut cushion with a whoopie cushion.
Well then there is always the "I'm a bit gassy tonight" excuse!
i got a pm from gumby this morning.
as i predicted, he's being love-bombed by the congregation and invited out everywhere.
part of this is because he was very popular before and is a very likeable guy, but part of it is to try and suck him back in so thoroughly, he'll never be able to escape.

I was thinking about this today, I remember my Aunt use to have issues with her tail bone! She would miss alot meetings cause she had to sit so much. When she did come she would bring an inflatable doughnut to sit on! Don't know if it would work but it's worth a try!
that shouldn't be so remarkable that it deserves a topic of it's own, but hey, i used to be a jehovah's witness, and she is still one.
it was a nice, normal conversation, the real one.
the imaginary one i'd had earlier, while in the shower, involved harsh words, almost yelling, "yeah?!
Baby steps Six, maybe this is a start of something!!

Mary - Much, much sympathy to Gumby and his predicament, but a fade is a fade. He's only just gone back so......any 'partying' is only temporary. I assume the fade has to be over a couple of years so he's not got to despair yet. This is the hard part.....the fading comes in time, so there is light at the end of the tunnel for him.
Couldn't agree more, its just a matter of time, before they get the point. What I hate about "love bombs", is you can smell them from a mile away!
happy birthday to you.
happy birthday to you.
happy birthday dear free chick.
Happy Birthday FreeChick!!
maybe some jw's avoid going to the doctor and get good medical care, since the end is so close.. if you were sure the end was very close, what would you avoid doing?.
Stop going on JWD, I don't want to die with you dirty apostates!!
the walls of the wts are finally being cracked but nobody is breaking down the walls.we have the internet exposing all their lies,elders resigning,no new members beside families being baptized, contributions dwindling,teens leaving in droves,and layoffs at the wts headquarters .still,the walls remain intact.the 800 lbs.
gorilla is missing to break down the wall.. we know in 1975 many members left but the wts wall was easily repaired.who will finally break the walls down and how will it happen?
what will it take for a mass exodus?.
In order for the Org. to keep going it needs to grow for the future, here is where one problem lyes.
With its constant message of singleness and for those who are married not to have children. They really have a limited pool to draw from, in order to meet their growth. Where there is growth in the Org. it is coming from poor countries which will not be able to support it financially. For them the message of singleness and no children for married couples has been a very poor business decision.
I really don't think we will see the end of the Org. unless the government steps in, but the influence it has over the R&F will eventually fade.
where the hell have i been?
ummmmmmmm... i've been in love!.
it's been so long i don't even know where to begin...... well... i guess it all began here at jwd... the beauty of it all, it that this is not a dating website, and the very fact that i was falling in love with a person whom i had no idea of her physical appearance... i was falling for her inner beauty and strenght to leave everything she knew to be happy, to live life.... i had finally met a person who understood me, and i could relate to her stories.... i had met my new best friend, but didn't know it yet... things progressed..... we emailed (which later led to unsolicited photos from her).... then exchanged phone numbers, etc..... then before i know it she had convinced me to purchace an airplaine ticket to meet her.
Mike you sure you want to start singing that song!!!
K i s s i n g, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes little OFG's in a baby carriage!!
so i wrote this poem, if that is what you can call it.
not saying it's good or anything, but it's how i feel.
it's about my experience as a jehovah's witness.. .
It's so nice to express yourself GG/BG, something you can't do while part of that religion!!
Keep it up, looking forward to reading your first Novel!
i have lots of pets: three horses; three parrots; three cats; and lots of fish.
i love my pets because they make my life whole.
please show the pets that you love!.
