Heightened Threat Levels in Europe

by slimboyfat in

the english are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from 'miffed' to 'peeved.

' soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to 'irritated' or even 'a bit cross.

' londoners have not been 'a bit cross' since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out.

Thanks Slim I needed a good laugh

Anything weird you like to eat?

i was camping this weekend with some friends and around the camp fire the subject came up, "what is something weird you like to eat?

" i thought it was a fun subject and we all had some laughs over our odd appetites.. some of mine .... i love bologna with american cheese and miracle whip (the only thing i will use miracle whip with).

i love the taste of straight pickle juice or hot pepper juice.

Mrs Smith

Ostrich meat is very popular here. The meatt is very lean and is red. Texture is a lot like steak. Yum

Bamboozled.

by Blueblades in

jw

one of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.

we're no longer interested in finding out the truth.

the bamboozle has captured us.. it's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken.

Mrs Smith

I faded 9 years ago and still believed all the Craptower lies for another 5 years after leaving. When I finally realised that I had been bamboozled I was very angry but in the end I would rather know so that I can prevent it from happening again than live with the guilt of never doing enough for Jah.

The elders fail again! No shepherding for this marriage...

by truthsearcher in

i had an interesting discussion with an elder from a christian church.

there is a jw lady coming to their elders for marriage counselling because "there is no help for my marriage at the kh".

the jw elders have failed as shepherds and so now the sheep is seeking a shepherd who really does care and can help!

Mrs Smith

Good for her! At least she can see for herself that other religions are not demonised. Hope she finds the help she's looking for.

you know here lately, my life has had lots of ups and downs.

this was my first year of not going to district convention, my (step) grandpa developed brain cancer, my dad and most of his family won't speak to me, and my girlfriend and i were having troubles.

on the other hand, my mom and her side of the family have embraced me, my cousin (that left the borg) and i are closer than ever, my girlfriend is super, my band plays all the time, and i've got a great group of friends.

Mrs Smith

Just try to make them think for themselves by planting little seeds of doubt. Baby Steps. Good luck

by The wanderer in

aftermath: the shame and regret of it allhaving been a convert of jehovahs witnesses for 14 years there is one issue .

that seems difficult to have closure with, and that is facing former relatives and .

worldly friends that i had since childhood.. the watchtower encouraged separation from the unbelievers of this world .

Mrs Smith

I have recently met up with a cousin that I lost contact with after my parents became JWs. She was more than happy to have me back in her life. Give them a call people are a lot more forgiving than you may think

growing emotionally :)

by Missanna in

i've been thinking a lot lately about how much i've changed over the last year.

i've only been out of the borg for a year but i've changed so much.

my father called me the other day and told me that he found out that my husband has been going on these xjw boards and wanted to know how i felt about it.

Mrs Smith

Well done Miss Anna. I often think about you. I was also married at 19 so I feel a connection with you. Wish I had left the JW at that age. It's wonderful when you can look back and see your own personal growth. It's something you don't get as a JW cause you're never good enough and always feel like you need to do more. I had a few years like that of late. Looking back and seeing how I've become more comfortable within my own skin.
