  Never a JW. I thank everyone here, it has been learning experience. As I stated in my original statement in the 5 years of conversations with the Elder he told me very little about the JWS then he gave me the book on Families when I got to the part on raising and educating children. The Rebel and the Fighter had a mighty lot to say to the Elder and that went over like a lead balloon.

  I am very polite about it but I do approach the older males when they are handing out literature normally ask 3 or 4 questions about educating, socializing and such of their children making sure the conversation is overhead. Then I do remind him how wrong it is to lie. Funny how they never return to those sites again. Slowly I am eliminating all possible distribution sites from our community. No more converts into this cult.

  Sparrowdown saying even in my hair reminded me of an incident that happened to us 35 years ago while camping in the Keys. We were sound asleep and heard this little ping the next thing we knew we had safety glass covering us. The big plate glas window right at our heads shattered into a million pieces, we never laughed so hard, it took us forever to find and clean up all that glass.

  i have started walking every morning for twenty or thirty minutes.

  so yesterday i had to work and almost didn't go, but decided to get in a quick ten minute walk.

  i don't usually take my phone, but decided to take it, and i was so glad i did because a block from my house i came upon an older chinese man face down on the sidewalk and bleeding profusely from his mouth/face.

  Neglect of Adolescents by the WTBTS - Excellent Article

  by Tornintwo in

  i have been thinking a lot about the lack of support, judgement and criticism of teenagers in the organisation.

  i am dealing with the fallout of these policies with my two adolescents...i found this excellent article this morning which is worth a read for anyone interested in this topic - see the links below but first i also wanted to add my own bugbear, forgive the rant: .

  a key factor which isn't mentioned in the article is the 'bad association' rule and it's extended application.

  Would this have taken an entirely different stand if the OP instead of being "perfume" had been "cigarette smoke".

  BTW, krejames, I am not an apostate, I am a Worldly person. My comments if you go back were made to contractors who were escorted off my property without payment not JWS.

  little_Socrates, they do not understand what a nightmare just shopping for the household can be like. Simple things like making sure you are buying "free and clear" AND this is not always cheap you do not find these items on the bargain shelf. Trash bags, laundry soap, laundry softner, laundry bleach, cleaning supplies, here is one you do not think about toilet paper, deodorant, shampoos, body wash, and the list goes on forever. In my home everyone must adhere to these rules with no exceptions, it is a way of life and has been for 40 years.

  Giordano ,

  I did the same with the magazines.

  All my friends are aware how serious headaches are so they will either not wear any or smile and say today is a no hug day and we laugh. But none of them wear a lot of it that it would bother me.

  For an example, as a homeowner I have hired electrical, plumbing and other contractors forewarning them over the phone that my home is a free and clear zone and going into great detail as to what that means. I cannot tell you how many times I have turned these fouls away and NO I do not pay their mandatory service call because you did not follow my explicit instructions of showing up fragrance free.

  When wearing fragrances you are correct it should remain in that personal space. the real killer is when it is worn so strong that when the person leaves the fragrance stays in the area. This makes things like elevators next to impossible. Think about places most people go without giving any thought, scented air fresheners public restrooms are totally off limits. Yes, a lot of thought is given to everything single thing a migraine suffer avoids through out the day.

  There is a long list of foods to be avoided.

  Actually I agree with the OP 100%, for those who unfortunately suffer from sever migraines fragrances can be an instant killer to every thing we do in life. My home, my lifestyle, my life 24/7 is controlled by what I can and can not do to prevent the next migraine. I take a migraine preventative medication most people who take this drug take 25 to 50 mg to control their migraines, John Hopkins Hospital found the correct dosage to be 200 mg for mine. So yes your fragrances to some of us are very toxic, very unfortunately.
