it happened again like in july when i talked to an elder and his wife about child abuse, but this time i got a hold of rank and file members who fortunately i was able to play like a fiddle as they had no idea what they were up against here.
so brother middle age ex-hippie convert ( as he told me later ) and sister middle age hair in a bun offered me the awake on death or our view of death.
i graciously accepted gaining their trust saying yes, i had close loved ones who had died over the years but didn't know if i believed in a resurrection or hereafter.
Peace out to YOU mr flipper!

looking back, being a jw meant constantly analyzing and categorizing others.
on field service, persons were either "sheeplike" or "goatlike".
in the congregation it went even further.
DEFFINATLY!
Something I am completely aghast at now is how judgmental I was... still am sometimes!
I judged everyone and everything, becoz thats what I was raised to do. Funnily enough I'm trying real hard to break this bad habbit now, but I can almost hear my mother in my ears, telling me that the reason I dont judge is becasue I have no standards!
I'm a DOG returned to eat my own vomit!

hello dear friends.... well..the saga continues!!
as many of you know last new years the jws attacked our "frosty" and egged our home.
" the co said, "so you are both not willing to meet with the elders..?".
Lady, that was brilliant!, you and hubby were so brave to stand up for yourselves like that when they were obviously set on 'stalking' you both.
You are aware that they will df you now with or without your presence?
You have been stitched up; they have ensured that they have 'two or more witnesess' to your wrongdoing ! (), they can df you in your absence.
IMVHO; I'd get a d/a letter in before they have the satisfaction! TO$$ERS!

so do you know a band that's great?
that no one else in the rest of the country knows about?
or comparitively few?.
Stax of Soul. They tour the north west of England. Very under rated IMO. One of the best nights out you could have.
Singer about 4 1/2 ft tall and two stone wet through, but with a voice that packs a very enormous punch!
In honour; my emoticon!

everything about my life that i post on this board, is, i am ashamed to say, true.
bringing a lesbian punk rocker to the meeting, getting high at the convention and posting pictures of two men kissing, making out with a chick in the kh parking lot with the security cameras rolling.... all true.
with the rash of frauds on this board, i just had to chime in to tell people that my volatile, drama filled life is true, because not a lot seems like it's true on this board anymore.
Therapy rocks!!
You'll be fine. Shell69
yesterday was a crazy day!!
i woke up with a wicked migraine, took my meds, and went to work.
at noon, i took my husband to work and it was snowing like crazy...so i drove slowly...as i turned the corner, in the country, my car started to slide, and we did a complete circle, coming very close to hitting a hydro pole.
I'm jealous..... SNOW!
Luck you

we just had a horrible episode in our back yard.
as most of you know i have two warlock dobermans.
they are very large and powerful.
Poppy, I can see where your coming from. Perhaps my fright of other dogs when I was a child is affecting how I take care of my dogs.
I know my springer spaniel would love to have good run. He's 7 months old, but (a) I'm frightened of his running away or into a road and (b) I frightened of interactions/altercations with other dogs!
Advise please??

never having been baptized, i never got too them.
anyone have them handy?
just what did i need to know to be a dedicated dubbie?
I wondered what the big deal was when I did mine. I felt they were very basic questions.
However your thread has brought something to mind that has made me smile.
A family we were very close to had a son who had been starved of oxygen at birth. He never got baptised because of this, and he was an avid Microphone attendant. Every now and again he would put his hand up to answer a question while he was on his duties.. his answers were alway correct! He was listening to everything!
I digress, however one of his little catchphrases was; 80 questions and a good dunking!.
He died very suddenly in 1998. RIP Derek Shovelton X

hello my friends.
well , my son got the latest, i think last letter for awhile, hopefully from his witness mother .
of course she put lots of guilt on him again about not being a witness !
I'm really upset
the emotional pressure put upon your son is dreadfull. But the presure that is upon borg supporters? The brain washing to such a point that they will abbandon theyre own children? This has been done to me, with my own mother selling my child hood family home and moving away,without telling me where she was going to.
I dont get it, this has made me so sad
Peace and more peace to you all.
