Daddy, What's a.....

by FadingAway in

my wife works weekends 3rd shift , so usually i'm taking care of my 2 sons while my wife sleeps.

today i put my 2 year old down for his nap.

this gave me the opportuniuty to go out to the landfill to get rid of the old bushes and brush my wife pulled up from the backyard.

A few years ago, we got a new cat. We already had 2 cats who ruled the roost for a long time before the third one came along. Well, one of the older cats decided to protest by peeing on our furniture when we weren't looking. One day I came home from work and there was a huge peed up spot on my side of the bed, compliments of the angry cat. So LDB had to try to clean up the pee with his upholstery cleaning stuff and he put fans on it to dry.

So, about three weeks later, LDB had to take his 74-year-old mother to an appointment, and he had our son with him, who was 3 or 4 years old at the time. So as the three of them are driving and there was a lull in the conversation, our son blurts out "Grandma, there was a wet spot on mama's bed!"

LDB was sweating bullets trying to quickly remember what our son was talking about and then explain it to his mom. Little kids definitely don't know how to put a thought into proper context before they say something!

The Watchtowers Perspective Seeing IssuesIn Terms Of Black & White

by The wanderer in

the watchtowers perspective seeing issuesin terms of black & white having been a jehovahs witness taught me that issues were seen as good or bad, black or white.

if it came from the society, it was good and if it did not come out of the society, it was bad.

i call this perspective my tunnel vision.

Richard - thanks for your selective response. Maybe you're still pondering the answers to the other questions I asked but you didn't answer.

Here's a thought: Do you think that maybe you're simply thinking way too hard and too much? It is my opinion that you are. When most people post here, they, like you, are searching for opinions, thoughts, and experiences of others. Just like you, they have been jaded by the WT and are trying to rebuild their thought processes to rid themselves of WT mind control. But they aren't trying to psychoanalyze people. They just want to talk. Sometimes they just want to vent because something upsetting happened that day. Sometimes they want to share exciting news, or tell a joke, or share a youtube video they liked. This is the kind of stuff your posts are devoid of: real conversation with a real person. As I have said, you still won't allow yourself to just be real for some reason (example - referring to yourself as "Richard" in the third person instead of just saying "I think...")

Just food for thought (but don't think too hard or overanalyze it.)

cleaning house

what do you do to get yourself motivated to clean your house.. do you go through spells where you are just not interested in housekeeping?.

i am going through a phase(which now seems to be seroius) of just doing the least amount possible.

same with my yard.. i kept thinking something would spark me, but its just not coming to me.. i would almost rather move than do anything!!!!!!.

I recently picked up the book "How Clean Is Your House?" written by the two British ladies that have the TV show. It's a cute book to read, and it's funny. It does have some great cleaning tips as well. Maybe reading that would help?

Hello Everyone...

i've been away for quite awhile.

well, not really, just away from any discussion of that horrid religion.

i just couldn't give any more seconds of my life to talking about anything even remotely related to jehovah's witnesses.

Hey, Abandoned. Good to hear from you again. You've been asked about a couple of times while you were away.

Richard - why do you insist on referring to yourself in the third person? Why do you relentlessly ask hypothetical questions without explaining your interest in the subject? Why do you continue to use such annoying fonts and colors and spacing? Why did four pages of our suggestions to you specifically about these things go in one ear and out the other?

And a few more questions:

Richard, who are you? Really. Can you just type something simple and unformatted about yourself, just once?

Do you have a family?

Do you have pets?

What are your hobbies?

What type of work do you do?

What's your favorite color?

I'm asking because in your entire history on JWD, I have yet to see you behave as a real person. Instead, you behave as though you're trying to be a psychoanalyst. Drop the formality just once, and post something just like I did here without special fonts, spacing, fancy wording, colors, and deep philosophical crap. (thanks)

The Simpsons Movie -- Have you seen it?

by AlmostAtheist in

hey all, .

zach and i went to see the new simpsons movie today.

it was absolutely hilarious -- non-stop from start to finish.

exwitless

Just got back from seeing it. It was really funny. My two favorite lines from it are the "Spider Pig" song, and when they were all in church at the beginning, Homer is trying to figure out what to do about Grandpa's ranting - he quickly flips through a bible and said something like "I don't know what to do! This book has no answers!" Priceless.
