the more i learn about jw's the harder it is.
to sleep at night.
the wife hit the pillow and within 5 min.. she is snoring.
A friend of mines from the south who knows those old down home remedies says warm beer helps, because of the hops in it.
I had some beer and popcorn about an hour ago (not warm) and must say I'm ready to log off and get in bed, but just about every time I feel tired and do get in bed about 80 per cent of the time I seem to wake up and the TV ends of watching me.
i went to an appointment today and what do you know a trolley.. i couldn't stop and chat, but i have another appoinment thursday, i will go early and have a chat.
i love this it's great fun chatting to jws whilst being df'd.. any ideas for my presentation?.
do you think i am harming myself?.
The only way the would know you're Dfd if is you tell them, so bit your tongue that one.
Tell them you have an aunt, mom, brother, etc that's a witness and you remember him/her telling you that the JWs were admonished at their meetings to stay away from the internet yet I see you are now called JW.org . . . what happened? Or ask what scripture supports that since your relative told you that everything the Dubs do have a scripture to back up what they do.
You'll probably hear their brain spinning around in their head as try to come up with answer.
for me, that happy day was in morro bay, calif. it was the fall, oct 1958 or 9. gorgeous weather.
the sun was shining and the wind was coming off of the ocean.. at that time, morro bay was unassigned territory.. talesin on another thread was talking about a lovely day she had, going with her grandfather, talking with a mr languages.
lol.
Yeah, when the whole block were not at homes, made the time go faster.
we found some people who were happy to welcome us into their homes, even offering us food and drink.. sometimes, they would flag us down and ask for the magazines, walk miles to the kh meetings, come to our defense if someone got ugly or rude.. now, jw's are either routinely ignored or outright vilified.. no one respects them anymore.. sad.. .
I was a born in so I NEVER felt the fun part

Us Yankees way up north always heard how down south the JWs would get invited in for a cold drink and to sit for a spell beforer they moved on to the next house, since the houses were always down the road from the other houses
i believe that the older you are the harder it is to leave the watchtower.. .
i am attempting to get a list of ages people learnt the "truth" and what age they left.. .
uun.
I was never baptized, but I was a born in and never believed in the BS, I was in my early 20's and living at home when my elder father said I didn't have to attend the meetings anymore (much to the dismay of my mother).
one of my co workers mother made my 4 year old a blanket with the disney character tinkerbell on it.
as soon as i got it i knew trouble lay ahead.
i wanted to reason with her before my daughter saw it so as not to cause a disruption, but it didn't work out that way.
Pistoff said - I told him I thought the Simpsons was not good for him to watch, with the bad attitude of Bart, the overall sarcastic nature, etc. He looked at me and said: "It's just a cartoon Dad." I was speechless, he was right; he watched the Simpsons from then on.
My mother told me, and this is going back much more then ten years (and the fact she passed in 2006) that one of the brothers at the circuit assembly mentioned that Dubs shouldn't watch The Simpsons since Bart isn't very respectful to his father.
So in other words just because this brother couldn't stand the show he had to command the other faithful, blind worshipers of Jah not to watch the show either.
black don't crack - asian don't raisin.. meaning?.
black and asian people usually have firm facial skin..
Can't be something you just learned Sylvie, that black don't crack saying is probably older than you and me.
Have to say though, Caroline Kennedy was born two weeks before I was in the same hospital, my mother was already there due to complications, so everytime she or her family were on TV I always heard that story ad nauseum. So when I finally saw her in person about two years ago I was absolutely gobsmacked, we all meet that one person that we went to school with or something that looks a hundred years old, well . . . ol' Caroline totally gobsmacked me, other folks I still run into black and white don't look as wrinkled and aged as she does.
my dad told me this story long time ago.
there was an long time elder that is never married.
he got caught going to brothel one day after a brother followed him there.
LongHairGal - Since you mention the Cult is nothing but a boys club, that reminds me of an elder who's son knocked up just about all females in the 5 boroughs of New York City. His dad was in danger of losing his elder status in his Cong, so he transferred to another Cong on Long Island, so he could retain his title, How about that? Jah's spirit at work indeed !
if so, what would be some examples?.
.
only questions that show a higher degree of thought and intelligence please..
I would imagine you could get DFd for asking questions that you used your brain for that Jehovah provided you with for thinking up questions about things in the Borg that just don't add up, of which there are many.
