Even nuclear-powered submarine, double agents can only stay down for so long.
Nice to see you "surfacing" yknot, even if only briefly.
Strength and peace to you on your path.

recently my son had a minor injury that required a trip to the emergency room.
the admitting nurse asked us a ton of questions and then this:.
nurse: do you have a religion?.

(My son looks at me, I look at him, shrug my shoulders, he looks back at the nurse...)
Son: No.
You had to be there. It was a very freeing moment.

i have been lurking on this site for the past 2 months.
for the past few years i have been going to the meetings and doing fieldservice out of guilt.. my husband (twisty) told me regularly i only do it out of guilt but i denied it and said it i want to do these things because i love jehovah and it is the right thing to do, but how can it be the right thing if you don't feel welcome and it feels like everyone is judging you the moment you walk into the kingdom hall.. it has taken a few years and a lot of tears to open my eyes.. over the past few years twisty spoke to me about the various things he didn't agree with but it just went over my head.
a few months ago we were lying in bed and he brought up his concerns again, and i'm not sure what was different this time but i understood and agreed with the points he was making.
Oh no Twisty! The jezebel's out of the bottle!
Welcome to you both. Wishing you peace, relief and new experiences in your new life.

i read with great interest the evil spirits thread, amazed at the ignorance on this forum concerning the occult.. if you do not believe in the spirit world, you are certainly akin to toothless hillbillies.
good for moonshine making, cousin marrying and not much else.. both the usa and the russians continue to pursue the occult, following in the foorsteps of nazi germany.
they are not ignorant people, such as yourselves.. hopefully, you non-believers will slowly breed yourselves out of the population, since you are the ones holding back progress, with your precious "science" which is really bullshit in disguise.. so tell me, what separates you "intellectuals" from those so called ancient ignorants?
Night Owl: "If you do not believe in the spirit world, you are certainly akin to toothless hillbillies."
I couldn't agree more. Here's a link to 50 of the world's most ignorant "toothless hillbillies" of all time.

Included in their ranks are well-known knuckle-draggers like Carl Sagan, Clarence Darrow, Richard Strauss, Linus Pauling, Katherine Hepburn, Francis Crick, Warren Buffett and Steve Wozniak.
Not an intelligent or creative bone to be found in the whole bunch. Heh.

i'm prompted to impart this piece of priceless information due to a few posts on the subject of dating and compatability lately.. do you want to be able to predict if the man you're keen on will treat you well ?.
this is my yardstick: does he love cats ?
find out early in the piece about his attitude toward cats.
So bigmouth, how would W.C. Fields rate as potential dating material?

i keep coming upon references dealing with a phone hookup if you must miss a kh meeting.
in my day, if you missed, you missed and celebrated the fact.
what is the procedure for the hookup?
It was a few years ago that phone tie-in rules were laid down. It was very clear that those calling in needed to have medical reasons for not attending.
My wife and I call in now and then, mainly to listen to the announcements.
I have a vision problem: "I just can't see myself going to the K Hall."
She has a digestive disorder: "She just can't stomach the meetings anymore."

my wife's real mental withdrawal from jwism is continuing on at a pace that suits her.
case in point: examining the scriptures daily.
a copy still sits at the ready in our kitchen.
bttt just for this time of year.
Axial tilt is the reason for the season.
om
for those who want to keep up with the "pure language", i found out this week that at the most recent elder's school, they were told that the announcements should no longer include the following:.
1. name of public talk and speaker for sunday.
2. synopsis of all the parts that are coming up on the rest of the service meeting.
One more word of Catholic origin: the Divine Name that the JWs think is so special was provided for them by a Spanish Catholic monk, Raymundo Martini.

the first time i heard of christopher hitchens was today when his named was mentioned multiple times in the comment section of a youtube video.
after reading a brief summary of his life, it became clear that this guy was a complete douche-bag.
a very arrogant sarcastic bigoted f**k who looked down on everyone who didn't share his beliefs.
(My common-ground seeking dubness is showing)
Pee Pee said one thing here that Hitch would actually agree with:
"he has absolutely no hope of ever living again."
Hitchens agreed that he was definitely headed to PP's version of Gehenna. And he didn't lose much sleep over it.
