it happens every year.
in february (or january), the kingdumb misery announces the drive to pioneer.
they always use the reject jesus party as the focus to pioneer, telling people that they need to pioneer because of that.
Never ONCE did I pioneer in any way shape or form. However, every year, at this time they would start that damn campaign. On that Thursday evening at our hall they would always the names of those who had turned in thier slips. Oh My! I always got this knot in the pit of my stomach...here we go again. All the do rights! Those brothers that worked ful time, the teenagers that wanted to impress their parents, the elders that wanted to set the FINE example for others.
And so then the circus overseer would call of thier names and they would all sit up in their seats and just glow and beam and think "OH, what a fine dub am I'.!!! It made me sick. BFD! You aren't impressing me one bit....kiss my butt. They had no clue just how transparent they were.
What with day light savings time, what a fine opportunity to be able to work late into the evening..OH! And of course, you WILL find more people home at that hour. Sure, disrupt their dinners, their qualtiy time with their families and then here comes them damn witnesses again. Don't they ever quit? Why can't they leave us alone.
THEN....they would always announce that there was still TIME and more slips for those who MIGHT be able to rearange their schedules to join their friends in this fine work. BLAH BLAH BLAH

dear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.
OK I'll bite....Got up at 6:00 am. Logged into JWD, naturally. Happy birthday NMG, thank you all. Had my first cup of coffee, along with my first smoke of the day, and the first smoke in a string of last smokes, as today I begin a quit smoking prescription drug.
7:00am, had my second cup of coffee and my 3rd smoke of the day, argh. Putzed awile, took my shower, shaved all of that. Made the bed for my wife who started work at 6:00am. Played ball in the house with our 2 West Highland Terriers, they love dad playing ball in the a.m.
Left for work at 7:30am. I work for myself, took care of a couple of jobs that had me travel a total of some 60 miles. Made a couple bucks, finished my week ok $$$ wise. Got home at 11:30.
Here I am back on JWD. Having a sandwich, and a JACK and GINGER!!!! It is my birthday after all....
Tonight it's our mixed doubles bowling league at 6:00. More draft beer, Labatt. And I am sure that they will Happy Birthday me up on the overhead scoreboards. Ya can't escape that , not with my wife!!LOL.
So, there you have it all in a nut shell. Maybe in the future I'll be a little more creative but for now, hey!

My wife and I saw Little Anthony and the Imperials live in Las Vegas 2 years ago, WOW what a show they put on. Also, PBS has had a number of DOO WOP performances on and I have bought the entire collection so far, fantastic memories of days gone by. Time to do a thread on that, eh?
Anyways, time for bed, take care.

CoCo.... You're fast buddie....Is that kinda like," Over the river and through the woods to "? I think the jw's copied that tune for the From house to house. But, hey, don't get me started. I have a repertoire of old songs that I could stick in your HEAD ALL DAY. lmao.
THANKS AGAIN.

at the suggestion of my sis named dinah ( thanks dinah ) we thought it would be good to invite newbies , lurkers , or any others junior members etc.
to tell their stories of how they got out of the jehovah's witnesses or what you dealt with before getting out of which you had to overcome !
life is hard- we all have our stories , but on this board are many caring people who will be here for you if you need a soft place to land after being controlled by the jehovah's witnesses mindset.
Great Thread here Mr. Flipper!! I think I need to recharge my heart, Whoknows and the rest are really making me tingle. You ever get that chill up your spine? The wts has done that to me lately, with all the new folks wandering in here. I like this place, ya know? Carry on friends.

It's not just that , but sometimes I wake up with a song in my head and I have NO CLUE where or when I heard it last....Ever have that happen to you?? One day we'll have to have a reminisce thread.

Hey, we all know that if it's about annoying jw's, then it is self explanatory.

in the 1300s the bubonic plague killed 25 million people, a third of europe's population.so why did jehovah only put jesus on battle readiness at the start of the 20th century?
you would think that god didn't care about his creation , the human race.
Real one......Ya, right..god has the right to rule as he pleases. One false move and BAM!!! Into the burning flames of HADES you go!!!! That's some LOVING god you worship boy. Didn't you read the New York Times years ago??? GOD IS DEAD!!!! That was the headline..... Google it. He's DEAD.
