ya know whatta i mean?

when you sneeze and someone says "god bless you" do you hear any old tapes in your head about how thats pagan?

at christmas time do you feel any guilt about enjoying the songs?

FreeFallin

Yes, all the time. Even though I know the Watchtower Society is just a huge business corporation, the tapes still play.

Swallowed my pride and had a good cry today

as some of you know i have been have a few health problems lately.. i went to the doctor today to pick up my application for a handicapped parking permit.

when we talked he said he would sign it for a year.. well he signed it as "permanent disability".

in one way this is good because if they don't figure out the problem and find a solution i won't have to keep applying for it.

[now for the rest of the story ... it begans again below with ### in front of the continuation] .

well, well, well ... well, well ... well, uhmmmmm ... this ought to be good .

these two ladies were standing there ... one was obviously an elder's wife ... say late 40s ... likely aux.

BRAVO!!!! It seems to make witnesses comfortable when you critisize other religions. You didn't invade their comfort zone or attack their beliefs. You handled it perfectly.

i was 28 when i got borganized....i wish i could remember the names of the sisters that studied with me....one of 'em's name is barbara, the other one was a pig...guess they're not that memorable....but the plano congregation had not been started when i first got baptised or it had *just* been started in 1973....my best sis friend was carolyn nelson, a six feet tall sis with two kids, harris and april....i was really dumb and married the first elder that asked me....it was a total flop of a marriage, his teenaged son caused all sorts of problems for us.....i "ran away" from it and went back to the "world" for a while....i suppose because they hadn't gotten the "worldliness" out of me very well at the time....when i returned, they publicly reproved me and we divorced....his name was bob repp....he was an elder in the white rock congregation....i can remember a few names...the farmers, steve scott and his lovely red-headed wife, but that's all i remember..... .

then i moved back down here with my older two children, where i was raised and later went back into the borganization....i moved to california in late 1988, got in an auto accident in late 1989, and everything went downhill from there, borganization-wise...i had seen so much cruelty from the platform....even a p.o.

who graphically and sneeringly described explicitly...the sights, sounds and smells of alleged sexual acts between two pioneers, as he disf'd the pioneer sister, while she sobbed her heart out in front of the congregation and only reproved the pioneer bro.....made me wanna hurl....the elders treated me like a meadow muffin the whole time i was in cal.

i'm having a "minimus moment" - .

i've got meat loaf's new cd "couldn't have said it better" playing, and the question occured to me - i'm sure all of us recall some details of their first date - anyone out there brave enough to tell us about their experience?.

(with thanks to minimus for the inspiration).

After going to a movie, he let me drive his brand new truck thru rocky fields and 2 foot snowdrifts. Tearing around those fields, I knew i was hooked. A real redneck romance.
