i sent an email to a jw relative earlier today that showed some office supplies that go on sale starting sunday because i know they are always on the lookout to save a few bucks for their business.
i got this reply a few minutes ago.. " ___'s father passed away wednesday.
memorial tomorrow at __ at ___ kingdom hall.
Emotionless. That's what they are. Sorry that your friend turned out to be a REAL friend. What they did regarding your wife's mother, is just down right cruel. My heart goes out to both of you. For the ones that show you no love, let it be known, there are those who do love you!

so you found out the jehovah's witness religion/cult was bogus.
congratulations, it's a step in the right direction.
now all you have to do is escape the cult of christianity.. while other christian groups are (perhaps arguably) less controlling (on the whole), the foundation christianity rests on is bogus too.
My inner feelings were never just right, which was why leaving them was easy and if the whole world i.e. 90% were JW's, I still would have left them because #1 for being DF and #2 because of that gut feeling, I wouldn't have wanted to ever be reinstated. I now feel a part of the whole universe, closer to God and I see all religions as a means of worship and since there are a variety of peoples on this earth, there are a variety of religions and customs to suit each persons desires. Therefore, nobody should insult, condemn or criticize what another person believes. If they want to worship Buddah, if they want to practice Wicca, if they want to be a Born Again Christian or be a JW...let 'em. Whatever floats their boat!

i was kind of skeptical about registering or even posting anything on this site but after a long struggle of going back and forth and after talking to a friend telling me that it would be good for me i decide to do it.
i grew up in a jehovah witness house hold.
it all was great a had a wonderful childhood but everything went down hill when i started to have my own opinion on things.

bill cosby, has always been a favorite of mine, a classic as one would say.. i will always remember a quote from him " parents don't want justice, they want silence!
" how true that is!
i can't wait!!!!
I WANNA GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Where is he performing?
My favorite quote from him, "AAAAAALL MOTHER'S ARE BEAUTIFUL!" Then some lady in the audience yells out, "AMEN!"
It's on his "Wonderfulness" album *heehee*
Have fun!
Btw, 2 weeks ago I got to see Petula Clark! WOW...she's still incredible considering her age. She's 75 yrs. young.

this was contributed to me by someone who wishes to remain anon:.
jehovahs witnesses governing body and tuna fish blood.
since the inception of the watchtower organization in modern times, the leaders overseeing millions of jehovahs witnesses have claimed to be none other than jesus exclusive spirit appointed leaders known collectively as the faithful and discreet slave class, having received this divine distinction early in the twentieth century.
speaking of blood, the Jdub's better abstain from red wine too:
"....As it happens non-kosher ingredients occur in the manufacture of non-Jewish wines, such as bull's blood for colouring or more commonly, isinglass, a "fining" agent, which comes from a sturgeon - another reason for avoiding them."
i generally, except in the heat of summer, wear dress clothes.
i have 30 suits plus.
preferred color: black.
Dress like Mrs. Jones?
*sigh* Yeah, I still have the JW influence in my taste of clothing. But I just recently learn to go from a D cup down to an A cup (bra size that is) to flaunt my stuff/ing. That only took me 40 years to learn.

I'm ready to go, day & night. I dress up at work, and when I come home, I'm still dressed properly for a night out, but with who? *sniff*
