  Lastly I hate what they have done to my jw. They took a good man and made him fearful, arrogant, and certainly not family minded. He must abandon his family if he wants any chance at their ridiculous paradise earth. The more he abandons his family the more credit he gets at the kh. More 'atta' boy's' for him. His arrogance and self righteous judgemental attitude was induced by the cult. Yes, I hate what the jw's do to people and to families. That is why I will continue to anti witness whenever possible.

  Amen carla! Preach on my sister!!

  WHY did the Chicken cross the road?

  why did the chicken cross the road?.

  dr. phil :.

  the problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'this' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'other side' of the road.

  Love it! And here's one I heard the other day: Why did the gum cross the road? It was stuck to the chicken's foot.

  i love inspirational quotes.

  i read through them from time to time and i always feel better after sharing the thoughts of yesterday and today's greatest minds.

  "if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

  OK Eyes Open...here's MY favorite Rage Against the Machine:

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  F*** you, I won't do what you told me.

  (I lost count...)

  when i was in the organisation was in a few different congs.

  every one always had a good proportion of them that claimed they had "me".

  not sure what they call it in the states but think chronic fatigue may be similar.it had an age range between young teenagers and midle aged ones.

  My husband told me of several women in his congo who have lupus. After about the third or fourth person he told me about, I said to him, "you'd better be careful, you'll have it soon".

  One of his JW friends from home was purported to have chronic fatigue...now I wonder...

  We actually had some leave literature in the door the other day. Hubby is an active JW...don't they know where their dubs live? He certainly doesn't need to be recruited twice...

  JWs who date or marry non-JWs are taught how to avoid reality

  by Lady Lee in

  this board has seen dozens of threads from people who have gotten involved with a jw/lapsed jws.

  most have no idea what being a jw means.

  many don't even discover the jw connection until they are quite involved.

  Lady Lee, you hit it on the head. If you read my first post, you'll see that what you said is my life in a nutshell.

  The first shock that sent him back was marriage...it didn't stick (mostly I think because he couldn't quit smoking).

  The second shock that sent him back for good was our beautiful baby girl. This time he quit smoking (because I had quit before I got pregnant so he didn't have it around) and he's been super dub ever since.

  I threatened him with divorce because he was trying to indoctrinate my older daughter by having 1/2 hour sessions with her on Sundays (he was reading the "My Book of..." with her) and he told me that he wanted to take our little one to meetings. After I told him to get out, the 1/2 hour sessions stopped (his reported hours must have plunged...) and he has made no more metion of taking our baby to meetings. After I told him I wanted a divorce, he refused to leave...after all, "Jehovah hates a divorcing". I don't know whether he won't leave because he'd look bad in the congregation or because he couldn't get remarried because there was no adultery (unless you count the fact that he's having an affair with an organization).

  Now I am just existing in our marriage. I try every once in awhile to throw something out to him so he can see the light, but I fear he's too far gone. His mom became a JW after her hubby left her when my JW was only 7 or so. She had three kids (7, 6 and newborn) and they jumped on her. So, he's about as bad as a born-in JW as far as social skills and education. I have tried to reason with him, fight with him, shock him (the pedophilia cases). Nothing works. He just goes blank. I actually think that his involvement with the WTBTS has caused him some mental illness. It amazes me how fast he can get mad then turn it off on a dime.

  And that's all I have to say about that...

  Funny things you thought growing up -

  by cognac in

  1. a "shower" as in "baby shower" or "wedding shower" was when a bunch of people got together to take a shower together.

  which didn't go over well with me when my mom wanted to go to a shower without my dad.. 2. when my father said to my mom that he was going to marry somebody, as in do there vows or something, i thought he was going to marry somebody else and start another family.

  i almost fainted when he told me that he was leaving to go do that.

  I don't remember any from my childhood...I'll have to think on that. But my daughter recently told me that she used to think that if a song was too long that the CD would blow up. Another person I knew thought that the bank kept the money you deposited in a box for you.

  I do remember one...I used to think that when a song played on the radio that the band was actually at the station.

  Ahhhhh, yes, genuflecting. I remember when I went to my first Catholic service. I told my boyfriend at the time that if I'd known that we were going to be exercising during the service, I would have worn my sweats....
