Post your favorite saying
by Scully ini was just pondering how the wts has, for over a century, been able to convince people to do what is contrary to their best interests with fear tactics that armageddon is coming soon, and i came up with what is going to be my pet phrase for a while:.
"only religion has the power to compel people to embrace sheer stupidity in the name of faith.
" ~ scully, december 28, 2006. i googled it, and didn't see that anyone else has claimed it, so until someone else finds an attribution for it, i'm claiming it as my own.

How I lost my soul mate.
by Abandoned ini've shown this to a couple of friends, but i'm ready to widen that audience a bit.
so, without further ado, here's my soul mate story.. i worked with amber and saw her a few times a week.
when i first accepted a lead care position, she was the one who trained me in on med passing and from that first day i worked with her, i was so impressed by how kind and patient she was.

Awesome! Thanks! I actually will print that one out and read it again later, lol.
I'm never good with communicating to other people. You hit the nail on the head with that one!

Well see, that's the thing...
My dad has had his life and made his choices. He partied, he had fun, he built up a business and has hobbies, and he will retire rich. He actually went against the society's advice all of his life, and now he expects me to do differently. He would love nothing more than to support me while I "store up riches in heaven". But he didn't store any. He had all of his fun and didn't make any meetings. And now, he gets to be well off, and will retire soon.
So now I am supposed to do what he claims he should have done, and worry about being a good JW. It's unfair to me. His parents never rode his butt about going out and getting drunk. Here I am, safe at home with my SO and my dog, drinking in my own house and being safe, and yet somehow I'm the one in the family who is going to "die" because I don't waste my time in meaningless meetings. Maybe he needs to leave me alone for a little while and let me do my own thing. I am married and in another house, for god's sake!
And then I get panic-phone calls.

Ok, since you are parents, I am curious...
Say you are a 100% believing JW, and the society is getting you and everyone around you excited about Armageddon coming. Then your kid tells you that he/she doesn't believe there will be an Armageddon. What would that be like for you?

My poor man has totally given up on screening my phone calls for me. He's just no match for my dad's insanity, lol.
LOL Jgnat, I loved that story!
I am going to have to figure out how to grow a backbone with my parents. I don't get it. I stand up to other people, just not my parents.
Well, I can't do it. I just won't answer.

"You don't need to buy stuff that the tv tells you to"
I don't get it...
I already ignore his phone calls as it is. I was starting to feel kinda bad about it. That's what got me into this mess to start off with! If I could have just not answered when he was carrying on...

Late 30s huh? I don't like the sound of that!
I could tell him that. But he won't listen. If you knew him, you'd understand. He is the kind of person who will want to talk, and you can tell him you are running late, but he will totally ignore you and go on talking for an hour. It is torture.

Should I just not answer at all? Now I'm staring at my phone dreading his next attempt. This is so childish of me!
