  Get a hammer and a nail and hang it somewhere. Might be a priceless piece of art someday. Lucky you.

  i have read things on here that have made me think.

  i know it's the general idea.

  but the realisation of some of the issues and their legitimacy has made me wish that i was still a witness.

  I left after 9 years ...

  i just disassociated myself after nine long years in the wtbts after researching the history of the wtbts and its founders and their lies, false prophecies and mind-control doctrines.

  read my profile for more about that.

  anyway, i'm glad there is a wonderful support group for those who have escaped the grasp of the wtbts and enjoy life again without the constant fear that the wtbts instills at every meeting.

  I don't believe there's anything sinister about it. Well, unless you consider the whole idea of the Watchtower itself. Sinister is just being polite.

  The principal. Enjoy and goon night.

  A first-grade teacher, Ms. Brooks, was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry, what's your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the 1st grade. My sister is in the 3rd grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the 3rd grade too!" Ms. Brooks had had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office. While Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told Ms. Brooks he would give the boy a test. If he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go back to the 1st grade and behave. She agreed.
  Harry was brought in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test. Principal:
  "What is 3 x 3?" Harry: "9." Principal: "What is 6 x 6?" Harry: "36." And so it went with every question the principal thought a 3rd grader should know.
  The principal looks at Ms. Brooks and tells her,
  "I think Harry can go to the 3rdgrade." Ms. Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Harry both agreed. Ms. Brooks asks, "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?" Harry, after a moment: "Legs." Ms Brooks: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?" The principal wondered why would she ask such a question! Harry replied: "Pockets." Ms. Brooks: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?" Harry: "Pants." Ms. Brooks: What starts with a C, ends with a T, is hairy, oval, delicious andcontains thin, whitish liquid?" Harry: "Coconut." The principal sat forward with his mouth hanging open.
  Ms. Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?" The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Harry replied, "Bubble gum." Ms. Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a woman does sitting down and a dog does on three legs?" Harry: "Shake hands." The principal was trembling. Ms. Brooks: "What word starts with an 'F' and ends in 'K' that means a lot of heat and excitement?" Harry: "Firetruck." The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "Better make Harry the Principal..... I got the last seven questions wrong."

  Even though my parents were jerks, they were gophers. They paid off a house in good time. My mom was employed most of the time.

  The only thing I can suggest that is worth buying, other than essentials, is your own home. Who cares what kind of car you drive? Most cars are money pits.

  If you live in the US, there are bargains out there. Just be careful.

  It was the one good thing that my parents taught me. Money management.

  my mom just called me and told me my uncle is dying.

  he has aplastic anemia and only has between 2 and 14 days left to live.

  the only treatment for aplastic amenia is bone marrow or cord blood transplant, which we all know he can't have.

  Hello BB.

  Your thread reminds me of the last time I saw my uncle before his passing. He looked extremely similar-even the glasses. I SO wanted to say something like- hey unc. Would you mind saying hello to my dad for me? I really wanted to communicate with him just once more. It made me hope for a moment that there really was a heaven.

  Death is that state where we live only in the memory of others. (Tasha Yar-Star Trek,TNG). Therefore.......

  Make peace with your uncle. If that is too difficult, then make peace with yourself.

  Pictures!

  by FiveShadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone have any really emotional provoking pictures pertaining to the concept of 'disfellowshipment' ... that i may be able to use for my essay?

  they don't have to be real, they can be cartoonish... something like a women in tears while the witnesses throw her out...or something like that...i will have to have a link to give it credit on my work cited page or else i can't really use it.

  the only other way i can see that working is if you were to include your name or the original artists name , that way i can include it under work cited as 'painting 1 by john smith' or whatever...the pictures can be sad, depressing, painful, ...just as long as they're pertaining to the issue of disfellowshiping.

  Hang around near a money mart in the morning and ask a witness for some rags. Plenty of depressing pix in them.
