since the end of last year i have stopped drinking.........but .....(you knew there would be a but ...didn't you?
)....tonight.....i have had 3 cans of heavy and a cider.....talk me back to sobriety....ya bunch of bastards........sorry i get annoying on alkyhol
What is 3 cans of Heavy and a Cider. I live in Canada, I don't know that terminology for things alcoholic. Is the alcohol content High in those things. Cider is apple cider and is not alcoholic
Is there something that triggered you or did you just feel like a treat????
i was looking at all my old photos and found this one of me on my last christmas before my parents found the "truth".
i had just turned 3. look at the joy on my face.. i feel so sad for me and now i feel so bad for all those little children born into that religion.
not just because of christmas but because there is no magical days and only days of waiting for armageddon which never comes.. anyone else feel that the children are being robbed of joy and happiness.
Ninja my Dad was born in Scotland, I haven't been there. Hope you are doing ok saw your post today.
in the first photo.....what one are you velvy?
I guess you are teasing me right? I am the big Doll, with the dark hair LOL Here is two more of that same day 
.
i played this one, during my teens, with the philippine youth orchestra and the australian national youth training orchestra that visited my country.
i couldn't keep up with the fast passages and the aussie first violinist sitting beside me kept staring at me -- bewildered.
Heavenly Music. You can play like that????? Wow

Sorry guys to bore you with old photos but its a long cold winter and I decided to go through all the old photos that I inherited from my Mom when she died. I spent Monday scanning some of them and reminising about things. Photos can really bring back things that we have forgotten for years. I am going to find more LOL to bore you with. But seriously I thought I would like to share thoughts of childhood days lost and spent involving how being a Jehovahs Witness robs children of Joy. At least thats the way it was for me.

I am happy to hear some of you agree so far. Its not so much the "christmas" or "birthdays" but just having special occasions to treat children special and for them to have something to look forward to.
Traditions hold families together in many ways. I made sure my Kids had Christmas and now I spoil my grandsons to much with birthdays and Christmas.
Here is a photo of a District assembly I was at as a child, the child in the photo is not me but a friend of ours. My Mother took the photo. I was about 10 when this was taken, this was the only exciting thing we did after my parents got the truth. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYONE WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME TO ME!!!!!!

i'm taking action.
since the un & pedophile issues haven't even been heard of by the witnesses in south africa i am going to get a pamphlet drawn up about these two issues and i'm going from door to door (well actually post box to post box) and slip them in all the homes in my area - i've inlisted my mum.
(my mum makes me laugh - she asks if we are going to wear latex gloves - bless her).
Wow what a great idea.
Question does this tract have contact information on it??? If it does then the person distributing it would have to be very informed to answer questions wouldn't they?
I would love to do something like that but not sure I would like to answer a bunch of questions afterward.
i just thought i'd post this idea i just had.
knowing that most people want nothing to do with any kind of activism, i understand, of course, that there will be maybe 1 or 2 people who will think this is a good idea and probably not a single person will ever actually do this thing.
having said that wouldn't it be cool to have a project called "turn your cameras on jehovah's witnesses?
I would love to do that, I often fantasize about doing something like that. Unfortunately it takes precious time and energy which I don't have. Oh well back to daydreaming .
i wonder if anyone here can help my friend.
i have no idea how to stop the witnesses from knocking at her door.
she has ms and its difficult for her to stand at the door.
Hi everyone, thanks for your help and advice. I will let her know and I am sure she will appreciate all your help
this one was the most practical one I have gotten and will certainly forward it to her. I will share it with you in case you need it ;-)
PRESIDING OVERSEER OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES KINGDOM HALL This is to inform you that I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE VISITS by Jehovah's Witnesses! I am providing this written notice in harmony with what is stated in your publication "OUR KINGDOM MINISTRY", dated June 1994, Page 2. Please see to it that the necessary people are informed of my request and that the territory card containing my address has been noted that I DO NOT WANT any Jehovah's Witnesses calling on me. I am not interested in your message and do not want to be bothered with uninvited callers. Should you call now or one year later from now, I will consider that harassment and will notify the proper authorities. Sincerely --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Signature Date --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Address ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- City State Zip
Here is some advice I got from my other ExJW womens support group. This one is from a lady in England its so funny
My Dad was an elder. If you want the Jw's to stop knocking. Just
tell them you want to be put on their do not call list. Be firm. But
they have to put you on a don't call if you request that. they will
do like yearly checks to see if you still want to be a don't call
person. So state you don't want an elder knocking for a check up
visit either as the answer will be the same.
if they are really annoying you and you want to annoy them back here
are a few I lines I have used or recieved;
1. I worship the devil. {Only brave JW's will risk not fleeing from
your door in fear of being demonised}.
2.i drink animals blood for pleasure. and i love the metallic taste.
3. pretend you are high and start stating you are Jesus and the True
Leader of Religion. Tell them you have a naughty angel friend who's
forever trying to push you down the stairs.{They will think Demons
straight away.}
4. Put a sign on your door stating No Jehovahs Witnesses. I have a
guard dog and I will release him. {This one works wonders i tried
it. then the sign got damaged so the next time they called I
demanded they put me on the do not call list and I haven't had one
knock for nearly a year.]
If you have a witness to your Do not knock demand you can threaten
them with an Harrassment Order if they persist.
I hope these give you some ideas.
oh I nearly forgot the best one.
Stand just outside your door. ask if they prepare children for
arrmaggedon. When they state yes. Start shouting how disgusting that
is. that children are precious Gems from God. keep ranting so the
neighbours hear. this has had them running in the past and they
never knocked my friends door again! and visit her street less! Ha
ha ha!
This use to happen to us on occasion. Everyone would quicckly move
on while my dad or another Elder would try and reason with them. i
stayed to watch a few of these. i loved watching my dad squirm and
hearing other view points that actually made sense and would trip my
father up. Then my dad would mark them down as a do not call so that
they can witness to the neighbours in peace
i wonder if anyone here can help my friend.
i have no idea how to stop the witnesses from knocking at her door.
she has ms and its difficult for her to stand at the door.
Cease and Desist Letter??? I haven't heard of that but it sounds official. Send it over if you can
