  i received this in an email, loved it and thought i'd share with you:.

  life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, .

  love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you .

  Shunned at Walmart

  by Grammy in

  the greeter was a woman i once called friend and who (unfortunately now) was baptized after studying with me for a year.

  when i walked in i was the only one coming through the door so it's not like she didn't see me, she turned away and ignored me...not wanting to lower myself to her level i simply got a shopping cart and went about my shopping, my first instinct was to report her to management for dereliction of duty but i thought better of that because my doing so would show her it upset me.

  i really owe her a debt of gratitude because it was at her baptismal talk that my first strong doubt that it was the truth finally penetrated my foggy brain, as i sat and repeated the baptismal questions to myself at the assembly when she was being baptized i realized they were not the same ones i answered in 1974, that started me on my journey out of the org.

  Maybe she was embarrassed because she is only qualified to get a job as a walmart greeter!

  Don't let her bother, instead shun them. They don't like it when it's given back to them.

  That's what happens when you are not a good little jdub!!

  Just in case you didn't know, that was my attempt at humor, sarcasim (damn I can't spell tonight)

  Unless you feel the urge to play out the movie I don't thing pysch is necessary, it is helpful for getting rid of your JW demons!

  Ex sistas, help a bro out--signals that show you're interested

  by rebel8 in

  2. friends

  please list the signals you give to a guy that let him know you're interested in dating him.

  this is for a guy who is new to the dating world, who has only his knowledge from the youth book to guide him.

  he needs your wisdom.

  Jeez, I haven't dated in 24 years

  I think I remember, smiling alot when I like a guy, leaning into the other person when talking, trust your instincts, usually you can tell just by how that person is responding.

  Tell your friend to just relax and let the vibes flow, don't try to figure out if it's the right person on the first date or two or three......He is free to date without having to commit to marraige, my permission has been granted.

  He can even have sex if he wants, buy gotta wear a "gym hat" ALWAYS. Remember no means no, absolutely no exceptions, god I feel like I'm talking to my sons

  That's what happens when you are not a good little jdub!! Don't you know that outside of the JW's there is nothing but fornication, sexually transmitted disease, drugs, crime, bad relationships..etc,

  or

  Maybe you just never knew you enjoyed that typed of entertainment?, that it's not taboo, the demons will not jump out and get you?, that you are an adult and can watch, listen too, read, say, feel what you want, when you want (of course as long as you are not hurting anyone or breaking the law)

  Relax hun, it's ok and it gets better the longer you are out!

  You "Evil Slavers" are doing your jobs WELL!! LOL Read more....

  by NotaNess in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ( a day ago) - so a couple of witnesses were talking and i heard one mention that he was on the "security" group of dubs for his convention.

  they all had to meet early to discuss the barrage of "evil slave" class coming in and handing out cards with apostate information and also to watchover the restrooms, cause the "evil slave" likes to put flyers and stuff in there as well.

  there was mentioning of how they would handle those ones.... just a note of encouragement, i guess, but it seems as if you ex-dubs that try and release the other actives, definitely are having an impact in some ways.. .

  Just lie to them, tell them what they want to hear they don't know the difference they are not spirit guided!

  On the other hand - seems like they are out to get you and nothing you do will matter one way or the other!

  Just my two cents

  Myiah (sp?)

  You sound like the typical socially immature person that most JW's become. May I suggest that you choose better friends and men to have relationships with. Choosing the wrong type of man does not come about because you no longer attend the meetings, someone that uses drugs, goes to clubs, etc.... does not come about because they cut their ties with this cult!

  And hijacking a person's thread is not a good practice, you may want to start your own thread to introduce yourself, it's called common coursity, they don't teach that at the kingdumb hall either!

  Sorry but your rambling about the good in being a JW but not practicing being a JW post really ticked me off Piss or get off the pot!

  Has your idea of how you want to be disposed of changed?

  by sinis in

  2. friends

  of course i'm talking about death.

  i know in the borg, since most people are cheap, or don't have money, there was always a push for cremation.

  i know my grandmother was cremated, as well as my father in law, and i think the issue was more for finances.

  I want to be cremated and each of my children get a portion of my ashes, they each have to spread my ashes somewhere that is meaningfull to them.

  As for my mark on the world, I hope my children are my mark and do not embarrass me as I will not have a grave to roll over in , contribution of time, resources, medical knowledge to underpriviledged community residents and various charities will be my mark.

  IMHO - these are more important to me than a head stone. Besides I'm afraid of spiders, bugs, worms, snakes........
