I understand your quandry and you've been put in a difficult position. But I have to ask - Why in the world hasn't your husband confronted her on the issue prior to the gift? If it's because it's not been brought up before, now may be the time to do it. Tell him that you have a problem with the non-gratitude and that you feel you should be a united front against the wrong thinking encouraged by the jw's.

a woman in her forties went to a plastic surgeon for a face-lift.
the surgeon told her about a new procedure called "the knob", where a small knob is placed on the back of a woman's head and can be turned to tighten up her skin to produce the effect of a brand new face lift.. .

Last one:
George is getting along in years and finds that he is unable to perform sexually. He finally goes to his doctor who tries a few things, but nothing seems to work. So the doctor refers him to an American Indian medicine man. The medicine man says, "I can cure this." That said, he throws a white powder in a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke. Then he says, "This is powerful medicine. You can only use it once a year. All you have to do is say '1, 2, 3,' and it shall rise for as long as you wish!"
The guy then asks, "What happens when it's over, and I don't want to continue?"
The medicine man replies: "All you or your partner have to say is "1, 2, 3, 4," and it will go down. But be warned -- it will not work again for another year."
George rushes home, eager to try out his new powers and prowess. That night he is ready to surprise his wife. He showers, shaves, and puts on his most exotic shaving lotion. He gets into bed, and lying next to her says, "1, 2, 3." He suddenly becomes more aroused than anytime in his life -- just as the medicine man had promised.
His wife, who had been facing away, turns over and asks, "What did you say 1, 2, 3 for?"
And now you know why you shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition. -

Hello everybody

i'm really happy about that, ecstatic in fact, although i'd been a jw all my life, and i'm 37 now.
i could have disassociated like my friends, but i couldn't be bothered to play their chikdish game, so i let them do it for me.

Hiya Julie,
Welcome to you and I'm so glad you posted! I'm terribly sorry about the loss of your friend. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but I can see that she was loved by so many, including yourself. She obviously was a terrific lady that will be missed.
I'm happy that you were able to extricate yourself from the witnesses, there is so much more to be enjoyed in this life than what they preach.
Again welcome to you and I hope you'll post often.
Chris

Here's one I thought had a fun perspective:
My Next Life I want to live my next life backwards!
You start out dead and get that out of the way right off the bat. Then, you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day. When you are kicked out of the home for being too healthy, you spend several years enjoying your retirement and collecting benefit checks.
When you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years or so, getting younger every day until pretty soon you're too young to work. So then, you go to high school: play sports, date, drink, and party. As you get even younger, you become a kid again. You go to elementary school, play, and have no responsibilities. In few years, you become a baby and everyone runs themselves ragged keeping you happy. You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury spa-like conditions: central heating, room service on tap. Until finally ...
You finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case. -

One day, Jimmy Jones was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup.
Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin. "Bubba, where'd you git that truck?!?"
"Tammie give it to me" Bubba replied.
"She give it to ya? I know'd she wuz kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?"
"Well, Jimmy Jones, let me tell you what happened. We wuz drivin' out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowheres. Tammie pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want.' So I took the truck! "
"Bubba, yore a smart man! Them clothes woulda never fit you!" -

Hortensia. I send love and my thoughts out to you at this time of loss.
by Sparkplug ini saw this earlier.. i'm so sorry - it must be painful for two people who love each other to have to part this way - one goes through the door alone and the other stays behind alone.
all the more because my wonderful nephew was killed in an auto accident today, a young man with three children.
death is so cruel.. and in the wake of such terrible news today, i did not miss what you had said, but rather blocked it out for a moment.

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your nephew,

Mr. Flipper & Mrs. Flippers 1st Wedding Anniversary Today !!!
by flipper inhello my friends .
well, i just wanted to share our special day with you guys too , because you folks have become close like family to us !
for mrs. flipper and myself being in our late 40's, early 50's, with all the challenges we had over the years before we met, being with the wrong people who took advantage of our kindness when we were both in other relationships , we truly do feel it is a miracle that her and i finally found each other later in life and found real happiness in a marriage.
