i mentioned the 2 nosy jw elders poking around my house 2 weeks ago (and posted a week ago here..and cannot believe it hit 2100+ views).... let me add this disturbing update...no..no jc yet....no word from the 2 old lackeys either.... my fiancee and her son and i were at a winery/restaraunt last sunday (a bad place for an 8yo...overpriced food unappreciated by a kid) when i looked over at the next table on the rooftop deck, overlooking the illinois river, and seen what appeared to be 2 jws ladies and an obviously not jw man with them... on closer look, the one woman was a single jw sister who had a thing for me....and i was chairman of her jc for fornication (not with me...lol).... and another sister..and her non-jw hubby.... i am certain that the single sister seen me but didn't say anything.

i actually recognized the ubm first.

as they were leaving, the married jw sister came over...i introduced my fiancee....and the dub could not help but mention this "wonderful" jw elder that moved into their congo at the request of the co....he is wonderful like roaches are wonderful.....but i digress.

I thought about WGAS.....figured it out before I pulled that link.....and ya know what...I post for my own therapeutic value and for those who do give a s*it...... and if J. Doe doesn't, oh well. I didn't expect so many to read let alone reply.

There are many threads on this forum that don't interest me...and even if I do read, I am not compelled to post on 99% of them, especially lately...have too much other good things to do...

road trip.... if you all come through here we are in the middle of the US....I-55, I-64, I-70 and I-44 all run through this area. Love to see any who can detour here... could go TP a KH....lol... kidding...I have better things to do with my 2-ply than waste it at the place that knows better than anyone how to waste time, money, paper, and lives.

let me add this disturbing update...no..no JC yet....no word from the 2 old lackeys either...

My fiancee and her son and I were at a winery/restaraunt last Sunday (a bad place for an 8yo...overpriced food unappreciated by a kid) when I looked over at the next table on the rooftop deck, overlooking the Illinois River, and seen what appeared to be 2 JWs ladies and an obviously not JW man with them... on closer look, the one woman was a single JW sister who had a thing for me....and I was chairman of her JC for fornication (NOT with me...LOL).... and another sister..and her non-JW hubby...

I am certain that the single sister seen me but didn't say anything. I actually recognized the UBM first. As they were leaving, the married JW sister came over...I introduced my fiancee....and the dub could not help but mention this "wonderful" JW elder that moved into their congo at the request of the CO....he is wonderful like roaches are wonderful.....but I digress. I really don't care. My fiancee was bugged at this intrusion.

Fast forward a few days later and I meet my fiancee for brunch at her job. As we are sitting there, another nosy JW sister came up to us...again, I introduce my fiancee and she asks when we are getting married...normal question...... but then I leave and my fiancee goes back to work....

and my fiancee tells me when she gets home that the JW sister comes back around after I left and started harassing her about "when are you getting married?, where are you getting married? I guess if Rich doesn't go to the KH you all are having a courthouse ceremony...."/.... then it gets worse...she says about my mother..."you will like Rich's mom....once you get used to her ...she is nice in her own way."....

WTF? What business does she have asking about that? Only at the request of my fiancee do I not go knock on that bi**hes door and tell her off or go the the KH and bust in on one of their cult meetings and tell them all off.... my fiancee does not want me to cause trouble because it happened at her job and she is required to be nice to all the customers.

I told my fiancee: "Next time a nosy ass JW gets in your business...ask them if they want the real "411"....then tell them to look up 1 Thessalonians 4:11 in their own bible...and turn around and walk away."

They have a lot of balls doing that to her..... putting her in that position... I wonder if they will look up that scripture? lol

How Can an Elder Fade Successfully?

by tjlibre in

jw
friends

im working on my exit strategy out of the watchtower org.

ive set my mind to be out by the end of 2010 or mid 2011. .

id like to avoid getting df and disassociating my self is also an undesirable option.

SnakesInTheTower

I was an elder for 5 years, graduated MTS, raised in the Org.

My fade was a complete success until I decided to blow the cover off of it (I am engaged to a nice non-JW..we had a jackolantern out front...LOL)

.,..but from Dec 06 when I gave them enough rope to delete me as an elder to when I quit going to meetings in Sept 07...that was my fade out...then until now.... I have mostly been left alone...see my most recent thread about how the fade is going off the rails. I have posted details of my fade over the last 3 years....

Honestly...if I had moved away from the region...I could have gone off the radar for good. Don't know if that is an option for you.

good luck to you...

Which coffee person are you?

by Newborn in

jw
friends

espresso (single or double)?capuccino?latte?latte macchiato?american coffee?coffee with flavour?black coffee with milk or sugar?i am definately a latte person!!

gotta have one each morning.. i regret we don't have starbucks in sweden.

/newby.

SnakesInTheTower

I drink black coffee....for everyday in the morning it is just Columbian Folgers.... but a few times a week, my well-caffeinated fiancee and I will drink various flavors....right now those are Viennese Cinnamon or Highlander Grog (I think it is flavored with a bit of whisky) ...I grind the beans fine and brew with filtered water...

...I dare not ever suggest not having coffee.... in fact, my birthday gift to Toni was a BrewStation... I set up the coffemaker the night before and set the timer for 10 minutes before she has to get up for work...and I get up with her to actually make the coffee.... if I don't...and she makes the coffee or pours or preps her own (1 splenda and creamer or half and half)...the counter and/or the side of the cabinet and/or the floor is a mess...

....she does not do well before her first large cup...

...regarding Starbucks..I can't stand them.... both because their coffee is brutally strong (and I like strong coffee...just want some flavor)....and because I was at a Mills mall yesterday and Starbucks' kiosk was closed for the moment...so I went to the other stand....and found out it was a local owner ...who had been run out of another mall with an "exclusivity agreement" by Starbucks....so now I won't go to any Starbucks at all....and his coffee was much better...
