  this may seem silly---but ever since i could drive, every car had to be acceptable for field service.

  no vanity plate on the front (have one now!

  ), no bumper stickers or advertising slogans (have 3 now!).

  What in the world is a "flying spaghetti monster"? I guess I have been a stay at home mom too long.

  Thanks. K.W.

  You guys are hilarious!

  Gwnyth!!!! you made me laugh so hard instantaneously that I slapped my mouth with my hand! I know a couple baptist, so I can see your dilema with your neighbor! You must laugh every time you think of it! I have to tell my husband that one! In our family whenever the kids or I ask where someone or something is, he always responds with "I ate it/her/him". He will love it.

  K.W.

  P.S. Thanks for being so kind all of you!

  Hey Kudra! I'm leery to put that up here because it would be obvious who I am to anyone from the congregation who saw it! in case they are lurking here. I will tell you one is actually a pun for my husbands heritage and the others are advertisements. Am i being paranoid? The fact that you asked warms my little heart. I appreciate the friendship I've found here already!

No vanity plate on the front (have one now!), no bumper stickers or advertising slogans (Have 3 now!). I always thought they were funny to read, but tacky. Now that hubby bought me a gorgeous new vehicle (2002-new to me) I feel so liberated to put some on! Anyone else find liberation in such little things?

  Be kind, this is my first try at starting a thread!

  "Leaving the Truth" The Easy Way

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i noticed that we have a lot of new lurkers here - and, in particular, some elders who are agonizing over how to get free.

  from the watchtower without causing too much damage to themselves.

  here are some suggestions that have worked.

  Most definitely (sp?) number 2!

  Don't discuss it with anyone! I mistakenly, although all the while thinking i was saving my family spiritually, asked my best girlfriend how she coped when her hubby was slipping in the truth, talked to the "mature woman" I dearly loved and known since childhood about my doubts and how did she "know" it was the truth, even my own mother. Whoops! I guess it only helped propel me out and even though not officially "out", I am allready feeling the shunning. i guess we already know for a certainty it WILL happen, it still hurts.

  Keep tabs on topics here and you'll find the friends you need and the will to continue. Best Wishes.

  I'll take that LIVER, but hold the BLOOD and the SOUL

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, the watchtower blood doctrine is really goofy.

  in the 1970s, one of the reasons the society gave for refusal of blood, was that the soul is in the blood.

  see leviticus.

  Hey Jim! I remember as a child, probably 10-12 years old thinking something similar. I used to wonder how in good conscience anyone could have a transplant seeing it would have blood on it, in it. As a child I wondered "well, if they rinse the organ off in water is it okay then?"

  How twisted we had to reason to make anything acceptable!

  Hi and hugs megsmomma,

  So glad to meet you and hear your experience. Thank God you made it past all the hurdles you had to jump over and the walls you had to climb. The society can make us feel so worthless (even suicidal). I am so glad you have a great man who loves you and supports you! It is a true blessing and keeps a person sane!

  Your daughters sound sweet. What a wonderful thing to be with your 8 year old! They are becoming their own persons and reasoning at that age. Still pure and so full of love. If I think back on my memories of childhood, its really at about this age that you remember things when you are an adult.... I guess what i'm trying to say is, you are there now and she will have you in her most cherished memories forever! Savor that!

  Keep us posted! Your fellow newbie,

  Some Unfortunate News due to the Collision

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was at the doctor today for over 6-hours to be tested on the issues resulting from the collision.

  it seems that there are some serious effects that have emerged, which is not uncommon to happen within a short time after a serious collision.

  i will describe them later on, as i am waiting for more test results to arrive.

  Oh my goodness! What a trying time for you! I completely agree you MUST listen to that inner voice that tells you if you need hospital attention! Act quickly if you need attention.

  In looking for the little things to smile about, it appears your typing fingers are in good shape! Get your rest and know we are thinking of you.
