MMM, I am getting hungry now!
I love sandwiches made with bacon and cheese on a croissant, or multigrain toast as long as it is toasted. I love hashbrowns too. Lots of fresh-squeezed orange juice (lots of pulp) and coffee with cream. Yum!

Your favorite Sunday breakfast
by Layla33 insince i am about to partake (*smile*) in my favorite sunday breakfast, i thought it would be fun for everyone to describe their favorite breakfast here.. sunday breakfast was always a big deal for my family and growing up, it was the one day and time that we actually sat together had breakfast and talked about our week and sat for a good hour or so just catching up with each other.. for over 20 years, this breakfast consisted of bacon, sausage (kielbasa or italian), biscuits, eggs (cheese or plain), and grits.
to this day, i still feel it's a special nice time.. do share, i thought it would be fun to see other people's traditions on sunday breakfast....

Drinking & Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inyou know, i knew a lot of bethelites and every one of them loved their booze.
as an elder, i would entertain alot of the cos, dos and bethelites and their wives.
it was not unusual for the wives to get loaded while they were at my house!

Yes there were. Firstly, my mom is an alcoholic. My Dad liked the sauce too, a little too much. Whenever they entertained, a lot of alcohol was consumed almost every time. But mostly I remember there always being a locals needs part after weddings or gatherings and how things got out of hand with drinking. Even a few instances of wife swapping took place.

My life has improved 100-fold. I hated my life before. I never want to feel the way I did growing up and into my early adult years.

Do you consider your time as a JW wasted time??
by karter inmany of us have devoted a lot of time and energy to the jw's at the expense of other things like education , planing for retirement , family time just to name a few.. i don't consider it all wasted time there was a lot of good i learnt however i'm doing things now as a jw i never would have.. i don't have the same time pressure and never fell guilty about taking a lot of time out for myself as one elder said to me"if we don't keep you brothers real busy in the work of the kingdom you get swallowed up by the world" .

Even active witnesses think this is way over the top.....
by yourmomma inthere were gasps after watching this.
i heard the anti college talks at the dc this year, and while many people i know didnt agree with them, this following video stunned many of them.
there are many people on this forum, many have gotten to where they are many different ways.

How disgusting and maddening is this video!?! This guy is a looser!! And listen to all the clapping. Do people not get it? Do any of those people in attendance sit there and think how wrong this is? My hope is that there are some. These poor brothers who have to clean and wash windows for a living must just love what he is advocating. I guess that might be one of the only times that they feel good about what they are doing, validation. He and his "cushy" position where he doesn't have to worry about expenses, how would he know the struggles?? Like he is in a position to tell these poor people about not getting an education.
And by the way, love his example about the guy who tried to commit suicide and just HAPPENED TO HIT THE PART OF HIS BRAIN THAT AFFECTED HIS DISORDER??? Ya right! These loosers will believe anything. And, then he likened that experience to going to college? Sick, really sick.
I'm finished with my rant, b/c I could go on and on...

I guess I am considered in-active, but am shunned by 95% of the dubs.
I hear the elders want to talk to me so that I can either repent and be a member of the cong. again or they will disfellowship me. I told the person that told me this to pound sand. Not sure if that got back to them or not. However, it will be just a matter of time before it is made known (by me) that I am an apostate so then I think I will be DF'd.

Any suggestions on the best way to handle tonight?
by myababes inwe have not been in the org for over 10 years now but still see the old jw's around and about.
one particular couple we used to be fairly friendly with we bumped into the other night as they are doing a course at the college my hubby lectures at.
they were never the strongest of couples but have kept going cos of their family i suppose.

Well I certainly wouldn't bring it up, wait for them to...make sure they see how happy & carefree you are as we all know how being a JW can be a huge burden. Maybe your actions alone will make them question their own beliefs. Sometimes what you don't say speaks volumes if you know what I mean.
Best of luck to you!

Crackdown on "sisters" volunteering at DCs
by dozy inthe wts has sent a letter to all convention overseers expressing their increasing concern at sisters "directing brothers" at district conventions.. with immediate effect (ie for dc 2008), sisters are no longer to be used as volunteers in parking and security / watchman departments.
any sisters volunteering in other departments (eg toilet cleaning) must be subordinate & follow the direction of appointed brothers.
this move will put a huge burden on the dcs in my area - nearly half the volunteers for parking are sisters and there aren't enough volunteers as it is.

Don't they have something better to do?! Like figure out how they are going to pay off all these child molestation charges (oh we know how, brother and sisters, contribute to Jeh's "loving" organization) or try to stop so many people from leaving the borg?? They are stuck in the 1940's when women didn't have very many rights.
This is so completely and utterly ridiculous!!

Wow, the year is 2008, and still no Armageddon!
by Nosferatu inevery time we enter a new year, i think about how i wasn't supposed to make it this long.
i really believed we wouldn't live past the year 2000, and armageddon would change everything.
it almost strikes me as living on borrowed time, but then i remember that armageddon is a story, not a reality.
