the "water delivery pipe" burst on the well again..so..yesterday we dropped new heavy duty pipe 350ft below the ground..that took most of the day,but we were done before dark.....finally!..i can shower,flush the toilet and run the dishwasher!..no more paper plates on what seems an endless picnic!..lol!

!..so..i go to the power box and turn on the pump..we have running water!.......about 5 minutes later we notice water coming from the main floor,running down the wall and over a light switch....and..the water is frigg`n bright blue!!..wtf!..lol!

!..it`s the toilet over flowing..i`ve got bright blue toilet water all over the bathroom floor and pouring over a light switch in the basement!..this isn`t good..so,i turn the water off to the toilet..i`ll fix it later....it`s time for my workers to leave..i wander down the ranch driveway with a flashlight and the dog to open the ranch gate..i get the gate open and the truck and trailer pass through the gate..i figure the trailer is through the gate and let the gate swing shut.....bam!!

Babies get shunned

my sister was recently disfellowshipped and she told me that she was eating in a restaurant yesterday when the elder that disfellowshipped her was seated at the table next to her.

of course they would not breathe a word to her.

but her son (4 years old) had kept saying hello over and over to the elder and his wife and they both refused to acknowledge him, smile of even say hello back.

I´m with Horrible Life here.

If they had done it to my child I would have told them -with a loud voice- what I think of such a behavior.

Shame on them!

as everyday passes by being alone, i am enjoying it more and more.

i have grown distant from friends, and the only contact with others i have is at work and in the lab.

i do not talk to most of my classmates except the ones i am in an assigned group with.

Hello,

To me it sounds like you are on a voyage of discovery in your psyche- you have been on a voyage of discovery in the outside and now you want to know who you realy are as a person.

Very good-just don´t forget to stay in touch with the world outside too.

Good luck on your journey

For those of you who don't go to meetings anymore...

by exwitless in

when you attended your last meeting ever as a dub, did you know it was your last?

did something happen which made it clear in your mind you were 'never going back' (not to be confused with nvrgnbk)?.

the last meeting we went to was the memorial in 2006. we only went because we knew we were already pegged for the elders' unwanted attention, so we had to go to keep them off our backs a little longer.

International Convention, Copenhagen 200? Can´t even remember wich year it was.

I had been reading a lot here-and I had found out so much-the most important thing for me was to find out that I wasn´t alone with my bad experiences with the tower and that there was nothing wrong with me-my doubts had been turned into facts and I was NOT alone about this!

So there I was, sitting on a concrete bench in the burning sun-hearing all the same xxxx again.the same bible quotes, the same warnings, the same begging for money,and on and on....

Because I had been here it was like I could see the complete thing with fresh eyes-and for the first time I allowed myself to really feel the irritation and anger towards the org.for misleading so many people with their bullxxxx.

There and then I knew this was the very last time I´d waste my time, energy, money and my selfrespect to this organisation.

Witnesses = Too busy preaching to care for "widows and orphans" in cong!!

by Witness 007 in

growing up my mother always told us "jehovah will provide.

" we didn't have a car, we pioneered and did our best.

when i left school i pioneered full time with my mother and sister, we were a single parent family living on government benefits.

Yes, it´s so true what you tell there.

Strange, that it seems to be the same all over the world...it tells a lot about them doesn´t it?

When I was still in- I was alone with 2 boys-doing okay-saving every penny to send the youngest to a private school because I want him to get a good education.

But my house was always open for the "friends" and every summer I had the complete cong over for a party as I had the biggest garden.And they loved to come and enjoy themselves.In FS I would take the old bro´s and sis´in my car because the others already "had made plans who to work with". I would also often pop in at the old people in the cong and do some shopping,bring medicine or drive them to the doctor or so.Not many others helped them, no, they were in FS preaching about the love among God´s true people!

But never,truely never,has a brother helped me when there was something wrong with my car or if I needed a hand with something practical around the house...yet when bro x was building a new house they all helped there...or they would help each other with other things.

I was thinking that it might be because the JW´s are so paranoia about sex andthat their thought was that a single sister might just jump their bones and demand hot sex here and now....lol

I saw the old sisters,lonely and forgotten-the"loving" JW´s complaining when they had to pick them up to come to the hall or for FS-these old ladies who had been faithfull most of their lives,one even had the KH at her house and later donated the land on wich my old cong is built.another used to babysit for all the sisters in the cong so they could attend FS- now they were just a burden.

And I was thinking,jeeezzz is this MY future too?

Then, at a little come together a sis asked my son: well M.what are you going to do when you have finished your posh school?

And he smiled and said:well sis X ,I´ll go to a posh university,get me a posh degree and live a nice posh life.

You could cut the silence.

Then she looked at me and asked: do you agree with that?

Me: yes of course, why do you think I work so hard and pay for that school? Why should every JW become a window cleaner?Why should M let his intelligence go to waste?When I was young I was told not to have an education because the big A was just around the corner- and here I am today, struggeling on my own-do you realy think I want this for any of my children? no no no my son is going to study anything he wants.

And the woman said: well my dear, then you are not a strong JW.

She was right.
