  Head of the House?

  by cofty in

  i often see comments by ex-jws that would suggest some men still view themselves as "head of the house".

  sometimes comments from women appear to support the idea as well.. how many still see things this way or have you completely got over it?.

  you can't make up this kind of religious nut-job fanaticism:.

  although in retrospect, it's no more extreme than those jws who die refusing blood.... adam.

  Breyers is not allowed to call it's product "ice cream" anymore by the FDA!

  many other so called ice cream at grocery stores as well.

  have you noticed how it seems to be different than from a couple years ago?

  that it doesn't melt, it just warms up and becomes like a whipped cream texture?

  I read an article by Dr Andrew Weil, and he did say ice cream has anti freeze in it.

  I'm not a bit fan of ice cream but when I just have to have my Baskin&Robbins Pralines and Cream, I'm not thinking about anti freeze, but I am glad I have a Vitamix and can make my own just three ingredient ice cream.

  If there is anything or anyone that brings down the Borg, it won't be a signed petition.

  The way the media operates now, I think only if someone on the Top Ten Billionaires List has a relative that dies from a refusing blood or something and they sue the Borg for 10B or something, that will be the only way their dirty ways will be brought to light, that and if some crazy Dubs do a Jim Jones kool-aid thing.

  What does 2014 mean to you

  by NewYork44M in

  sometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.

  then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.

  that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.

  i don't know about the rest of you, but i have seen my fair share of death.

  both sets of grandparents, aunts and uncles, older jws that were pillars in the community.

  i even knew the first missionary in missouri, a brother named gerald golf.

  I know some here don't believe in an afterlife in heaven, but I just wonder about all the JDubs who have passed that are in Heaven, that has to be the biggest "Aha moment" of all time.

  Since we've all seen cartoons of St Peter welcoming people at the gates, I just wonder when all the Dubs get there are they forced to wear a sheet or somethng with the word "DUPED" on it for the rest of their heavenly life.
