  here's for the little psycho path in all of us.

  the next time you catch a fly or other vermin in your house.

  before you grab that fly swatter, get a laser pointer if you have one and point it into their eyes.

  That's where I got the link..
  When I read about your mousetrap..I felt sorry for the mouse! Then I remembered they do that to people! They used to drop poison in a bucket and the prisoner would die a slow painful death. .
  

  When we first got married we bought a trailer and parked it on my Mother and Father in laws property..
  I remember my Father in law got a small round wire cage roach (waterbugs) trap and put it in his basement. The waterbugs would crawl in and couldn't get out. When it got full he would take it outside and drown them in a bucket. Talk about gross!..I gag thinking about it.

  We thought we had a mouse one time . Hubby worked nights so he was gone but everytime I went to a meeting..when I got home, our candy dish would be toppled over and empty.
  Well he decided to put a poison trap out. A few days later I went in a kitchen drawer to get a dishtowel and there was a HUGE RAT the size of the drawer..laying on his back kicking. He ate the poison but he was too large for it to kill him. So hubby got a arrow..(He was shooting his bow and arrow in the back yard) and speared the rat in the heart!..Then he put him outside and speared him to the ground.
  His sister's cat was outside and came running..he sniffed but would not touch it! Smart cat. I guess he smelled the poison or didn't like the fact the rat we dying and wouldn't be any fun to play with.

  What is the oldest witness publication you actually remember?

  by AK - Jeff in

  not just one you have seen - or even researched since leaving.

  but the oldest one you recall studying when you 'got the truth' or as a child?.

  i remember "let god be true" - 'babylon the great has fallen'- and 'paradise restored - paradise regained' [the big orangish/pink book - hope i got the name right] - all 50's early 60's books.

  Whatever was around in the late 50's..I tried to wash it all out of my system!

  I packed all the books up and got rid of them. (Gave them to my JW MIL)

  I remember that "Paradise" book though. Scared the Hell out of my kids and the neighbor kids! They had a get together a while back and talked about it. It still gives them nightmares..what kind of stupid parent was I then to read that to my young kids.(They are in their 40's now)

  What kind of stupid organization prints something like that for kids to see! Shouldn't it be "R" Rated?

  Snoozy..

  ps..I remember when my JW-MIL to be was trying to "break me into the religion" she pulled out a old record player and played one of their old records . Probably Rutherford or one of those "guys" talking. Not too inspiring kind of drone.The first meeting I went to was in an old rented small store with wooden chairs set up. No mics needed. She said they used record players when they first started going out in field service to do the witnessing.

  Do any small creatures frighten & freak you out?

  here's the dirty dozen: .

  1) ants- imagine being buried in a sandpile up to your neck with sand.

  along come a bunch of ants from an ant colony, and they crawl all over your head, in and out of your nose, your mouth, your ears, your eyes, and all thru your hair.

  Bees..because one BIT me one time. Not sting..he bit me right in the upper part of my leg on the inside..where it is tender!

  When I went to pull him off..my leg skin came with him! Left a hole in my leg.Cannibal bee or whatever it was. Yellow jacket?

  And Daddy long legs! Driving down the highway something just didn't seem right to me. Then I focused on the area between my hands on the steering wheel and there he was..right between my hands..looking at me with that big smile...I couldn't get off that highway fast enough and jumped out of the car..goosebumps all over me!

  Funny thing is spiders and wasps don't bother me.

  I was reading that the witnesses have phone service now.
  Apparently they make phone calls instead of door to door. I saw it on a JW site that was posted in another thread. I just wonder if they go from the phone book or maybe not at homes? (They still go door to door here. I see them occasionally as they go by)

  They seemed to think that was scarier than going door to door.

  I wonder if they are exempt from the No Call list like telemarketers are.

  Snoozy..who had to beg them to come visit her dying JW hubby who had been attending meetings regularly until he had nothing left to go on!

  ps..They were too busy to visit as they were redecorating the assembly hall for the CO that was to be visiting. Poor hubby.He thought they didn't show because god didn't like him. Not because they were ignorant SOB's..(Anger?what anger?)

  They should put this in an inner city where kids in poverty live.
  They could see it is possible to overcome "The Big Bad Giant!".

  It isn't easy to fire someone here in Missouri either. Usually they transfer them to a different department or give them a warning.

  Did you sign a confidential agreement? You wouldn't believe how easy a lawsuit would get your job back.

  I worked in a bank..you wouldn't believe the things that went on. Money missing..trics played by customers. I don't think I remember but one time someone getting fired.
  Know what for?

  Stealing a step ladder that belonged to the bank!

  He said he just borrowed it and was going to bring it back. Another employee told on him. He was our branch manager!
  The day he left he brought it back with a BIG bow on it.

  He is now the Bank manager over several branches of another bank.

  Ironic huh?

  I would point out the consequences to him. Think of many senareos and paint a picture for him. Example: You could have an accident and NOT die but get paralyzed!
  I would be the one taking care of you..would you like that?..You wouldn't be able to move and I could talk to you as much as I want..say what I want for as long as I want and you wouldn't be able to move..It would kind of be like your own hell on earth!..Then laugh!
  "you would depend on me to eat..go to the bathroom ..and get washed the rest of your life..would you want that?"

  Put him in different positions..point out the many consequences..paint a picture to show how real this could be to him.

  He could go to jail..picture prison life to him..explain these things can and will happen if you continue to get drunk and drive.

  If he has a wreck... insurance may not cover it if he is drinking! Did he know that? He would lose everything he has worked for all his life! Picture poverty to him. Not having any money to go out to eat..or go to games or shows..maybe lose his home...car..it would all go towards the lawsuit from the accident or the family of a lost family member he had killed in the wreck!

  He has to think how it would effect him personally..because that's all he's thinking about..himself ..

  Snoozy..who is going through the same thing with a grown daughter.

  I would also see a lawyer about protecting any assets you may have..also any pension he may get!

  You could lose all of it! I would also talk rationally to him ablout some kind of plan if he gets drunk when out. Make sure he has a taxi number for someone to call..have taxi money available..or and make sure someone is a designated driver for him.
