The only mess is moose shit
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at that picture. Witnesses, pumpkins, and apples OH MY! We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard called Jah!
one of the more shocking things i've come across on this forum is that supposedly it'll be our responsibility to clean up the mess armagedon made and make the world a paradise during the 1000 year reign (jw's belive in the 1000 year reign, then the final judgement and destruction of satan right?
my doctrine is a little fuzzy).
this is new to me, has it appeared anywhere in the literature, talks, or the bible?

omg, dad's been calling all day and i've been hiding.
hubby's finally called him to tell him we don't want to talk about it.
after hubby had been on the phone with him for almost an hour (he was on the phone outside while i was inside cooking), i hear my dad's voice!
The weirdest thing happened last night...
Hubby came in, big smile on his face. Dad was gone. I was like......
He and dad were having a decent conversation. My dad didn't want to talk to me at all. He just wanted my man's views on stuff. They had a debate, but they really do like each other, so it was one involving laughter. Dad said that his feelings were hurt that I've been hiding from him, but my man was like, "you guys are intimidating the hell out of her. What do you expect? She doesn't want to talk religion".
Remember you guys...I DO have guts. I am 21, and I have JUST TOLD my mom exactly how I feel about the Bible and their religion. Give me some credit! I am an "out of the closet" apostate. It finally happened! And I did that all on my own. I was logging off of this forum to go rescue him when he walked in. I was GOING to do it. With a drink in hand, of course
My hubby shocked me. He honestly did. I didn't think he was handling it. He really enjoyed it. They never got ugly with each other before. I couldn't imagine them fighting or losing their cool.
My husband said, "if I could convince you that evolution actually happened, would you lose belief in Jehovah?" My dad said, "yes, if you could really prove it" (my dad thinks that scientists dreamt evolution up using only billion-year-old monkey-teeth. He doesn't believe that they have skulls or anything) Boy, that was a bold question, with an equally shocking answer! Of course, I won't hold my breath on the outcome.
Oh yeah, my dad did inform him that they have gone to the elders to tell them how I now feel about Jehovah. The elder he told this to began to cry. Hubby said, "But that's not Schism's fault. Don't you see, she is choosing her beliefs, and everyone blames her for making them cry. It's not her job to keep everyone happy."
Oh, and this will be the SECOND time my parents get me DFed. I can hardly wait! Cheers to that!
All in all, the conversation went well, they laughed, debated with humor, and I didn't have to do anything. I don't think I should have had to do anything anyway, but I was going to tell them it was too late at night for this.
This is the reason my man should handle people. I say, "hello, how are you? Lovely day isn't it?" And whoever I am talking to will get offended. Hubby, on the other hand, can't get anyone mad. He has the natural tone of voice and rhythm of speaking that people just don't get offended by. It's not a soft-spoken thing. He can give an insult, but it will come out more funny than insulting. So, whatever....my dad and I would have fought and I'm glad I didn't get involved. I can't handle that man. We push each others' buttons raw.
BTW, my dad, though he is a controlling ass, is very sad right now because of my views on religion. He would love to be closer to me, and he really does love me. I couldn't ever bring myself to slam a door in his face, or call the cops. Because behind all that "toughness", he is very soft-hearted, and if I did something like that, he would cry the entire way home. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I can be rude to strangers, but for several reasons, I just can't do it to my dad. Sorry if that makes me a wimp or a baby. I do need to take up for myself and my man, but I can't be ugly about it.

Damn, 8:30 already! Alright, I'm going get drunk....
Edited to add: To save my man!

People, I don't want to call the cops on my dad!
And this isn't like a salesperson. Parents are different. I will say just about ANYTHING to anyone, just not my parents! I just can't say anything to them. Don't know why. They've got the parental-grip or something.
I'll need a few shots of tequila before I'm sticking my head out that door. That would only make me able to say something without stuttering and choking on my tongue.

If I go out there, I know he's just gonna keep on talking. Or maybe even try to pry something out of me. Or say, "ok almost done", and keep going on and on and on.
Oh, welcome to the board by the way!
OK, I freaked out but now I'm calming down for some reason. It must be the therapy of the forum!

Oh did I mention that if I try to cut the conversation off, my dad will either ignore me, or bring it in here?
He is UNSTOPPABLE!!

I know he would rather not have this talk with him right now! It's so uncomfortable for him!!! But I have never been close to my dad, so it's uncomfortable for me too!!
wow.
ok. i told them that the meeting was off.
you seem to be able to quote scriptures quite well.
Oh definitely, no more replies to mom.
I know that once this is all over tonight, my husband will be in here saying "why didn't you come SAVE me????"
And tonight was supposed to be margarita night!!!!!

Oh, multiple posts!
Oh no you 2!! I'm not going out there!! Hubby's proud enough at my balls.
In fact, it's his turn to stand up to them. I've fought with them all week through email!
Give me a good fight in Walmart with strangers anyday. Mace the bastards and make them impotent! But NOT THE DAD TALK!!!!!!!!!!! I won't do it!!

OMG, jgnat I love you. Ok I'll stay. Unless I am summoned
My man is so professional. He is keeping his cool. Dad sounds ok too. I wish I could hear what they are talking about. It's 8 oclock and we haven't had supper. Today at work, my man had to rush his EMT PARTNER to the ER. Vomiting due to an upper GI bleed. Dangerous stuff. Stressfull day, no supper, and he has to put up with THIS!
I wish I could just tell him to LEAVE US ALONE! He will try to hold him out there until midnight. He doesn't realize that not everyone wants to talk that long! He won't let him go for hours to come. I'll be lucky if my presence isn't requested. Someone shoot me please....
I wish I had a cam. I thought about securing one with a view to outside of that door a while back. I knew this day would come, and the cam would come in handy. I don't know if he's strangling my husband or if they are making out. I dare not go out there, although when I go check on the food, I am in plain sight of them. I can't see them, they can see me though. It's dark out.
Geez.....
