  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  That is a touching scene, LLLFS.

  I remember when people would hire out the "ahem" services of their boar in exchange for some of the resultant piglets.

  Leaving it all behind.

  2. experiences

  i haven't been on an exjw site for months and months.

  i frankly am way past the point where i define myself as an exjw, i am who i am and it doesn't have really anything to do with the way i was raised or spent a considerable portion of my life, i also refuse to be bound by witness requirements as to leaving, contact with witnesses, or some kind of responsibility to whack people who seem perfectly happy as witnesses over the head with 'the truth about the truth'.

  i have recently run in to a few people that seems to simply obsess with their lives as witnesses and why they left and in some cases the way they were treated or mistreated, or the need to "do" something.

  I'm here on and off for 10 years and 13 days, and I so enjoy interacting with forum members.

  I still remember my first post and the responses I received.

  Three of the responders still post; everytime I see their avatar or username, I get a good feeling.

  THAT is what keeps me coming back.

  Also, I got my sister and my daughter involved with the JW's, so I need to keep up with WT shenanigans.

  I'm still appreciating the responses.

  In my day, there was no such thing as quick grits.

  You had to stir and stir those babies until they were creamy and delectable.

  My mother would serve them with eggs, stewed rabbit, coon, or squirrel.

  Oh, a note about my grandson.

  He doesn't want anyone near him when he's cooking.

  When he finished, he left the kitchen spotless.

  Everything in its place.

  OCD runs in the family.

  With a scandalous disregard for polite society, Rhett Butler was a picaresque as well as picturesque character.

  Alerts etc

  by Xanthippe in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  i wonder if it's possible for those of us who've been out decades to have alerts or alternatively see a grouping of threads in a folder or something similar if something actually happens of interest in the borg.. i'm not really interested in the day to day stuff about this cult but i would like to know if anything drastically changes as my siblings and their kids are still trapped.

  i don't know anything about creating the code for forums so i don't know what is possible but if you don't ask you don't get.

  this is not a criticism it's just time for me to move on and just drop in occasionally..
