i just read a post where a 52 year old woman posted a huge diatribe about a certain subject....not a big deal but it was used with multiple sized fonts and well just plainly over sized.

i have noticed this is a problem with most older ones who post on the internet?

whats up with that?

hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn

Hah Burger!!! You didn't say Old woman's scorn at least. Thanks I think.

Sheesh Burger!!!!

I didn't think I was classified at being "OLD" yet. I was born before 1970, in fact I had a baby around then. You just ruined my Day.

Even though I am OLD, I do have computer skills. I even create websites for people for a living. Age is relative and being older sometimes means we have more wisdom and experience.

I don't think being older is a bad thing even if some of us don't know how to use our fonts properly.

Since I am a Older Woman I have just the remedy for your thoughts about Older People!!!! This is all in the spirit of teasing you.

My tomb stone

by mouthy in

thursday i bought my stone.

they lay it in 6 weeks.

cost me $1 thousand 500 dollars.

Velvetann

Granny Grace I haven't had a chance to meet you yet, so you aren't allowed to go and live under a tomestone yet.

You are NOT useless, I love to chat with you and hear your thoughts and experiences, you make me laugh and you are just a wonderful contribution to this world.

Just the fact that you were so thoughtful as to take care of your arrangements for your demise so your family doesn't have to make those decisions,, shows what a lovely person you are.

Is your birthday coming Up???? Let me know when. I also am going to go get a card for Ray tomorrow and send it to him. Isn't his birthday on Thursday. He won't know who I am but anyone that has contributed as much as he has to us deserves a ton of good wishes from everyone he has helped or known.

JWD is so part of me that I am dreaming JW stuff now

i am almost a master member here on jwd now.

i feel so much more comfortable here than i did at first.

i love visiting here several times a day and do not mind even the negative comments we get on here anymore.

Velvetann

Thanks for your comments everyone, I thought it might be a weird thing to make a topic about but it just seemed weird how the dream came out of nowhere.

I had no idea how a piece of bread came into the payment instead of the dime. The last time I was in field service I think they were a contribution of a dime. LOL

The dream was just going on and I was feeling bad about myself in the dream because I was never good at Field Service. I hated it and felt inferior to the householders never mind my fellow JW's so that was normal for me to dream that way. But this apostate tract caming out of the blue in the dream, that was funny to me.

The problem I am having is that for the past couple of weeks my dreams are now involving something JW related almost every night. I haven't dreamed about being a JW or anything about it in years and now I am back to JW stuff in my dreams. I just have to tell you about this very vivid dream I had last night.

I was out in The Service with 3 other JW women, I was the spiritually weak one (as usual) and I didn't have my heart in it, I didn't like going out in service and just did it to keep up appearances with my friends and parents. The women I was with were all gung ho to get out there and start knocking and presenting the Awake and Watchtower Mags. I felt a bit embarrassed that I hadn't even read one article in them so I didn't know what to say at the door. They said I had to take the first door but I was so relieved when they said I should go to the door by myself. I guess they thought this was some kind of punishment or test because they would be watching me from the street to see how I did. I thought I will wing it and no one will be the wiser. A little girl comes to the door and I very nicely asked her if her Daddy or Mommy was home and commented on how pretty she looked today. Her Dad came to the door, a gruff looking bearded man, looked a bit like a professer. I felt intimidated by his worldy know it all way about him. What do you want he says. Well I present the Awake magazine and feel embarrassed about it because I know its such a stupid magazine I say well I am here to offer you these Magazines, they have timely articles about things going on in the world today. I am hoping he is not going to ask me about any specific content. Lucky me, He says ok here is 10 cents like he just wants to get rid of me, I give him the magazines and then he says, Wait. I can't afford to give you 10 cents for these give the money back to me, I am not sure if I will like them so here take this instead. He tears off a half a piece of bread that is on the counter and hands that to me. I just want to place the magazines so the women I am with will think I am with it in the religion so I say OK. But then my mind does a about turn (in the dream) and I say well if you want to just give me bread then you really need to read this, I quickly slip a tract into the first page of the Awake magazine. Please take the time to read it, its really why I am here but don't tell anyone that is JW about this information tract. The tract was 10 reasons why JWs are a dangerous Cult.

I leave and go back to the women feeling all happy that I had put one over on these smug self righteous women. They were surprised I had no problem placing the literature even though they knew I wasn't really spiritually strong in the religion. My dream ended there with me feeling so good because I could secretly Use the Field Service to incriminate the JW religion.

I woke up thinking, wouldn't that be great if some of the ones that are still in but don't believe the religion anymore could slip in apostate stuff into the literature. LOL

I know crazy dream but it was so real. Anyone else have JW related dreams lately because of filling your mind with JWD discussions.

Worlds Apart

we are just back from watching worlds apart.

we all thought that this is the best, most accurate movie on this topic that we have ever seen.

i hope to post more on it once i've gotten some rest.

Velvetann

This sounds like a good movie to see. I have no information on it at all. Is it available in Canada? Is it in English.

Im a newbie

by jetery in

baptized at 15 because forced into it.

i left the jw 2 years ago.

i should have left a long time ago.

Velvetann

WELCOME JETERY!!!

So glad you found this site. After what you have been through this Group will be so good for you. I am so sorry to hear what happened with your Mom. Its so typical of the JW's. Funerals seem to be where they really show their lack of love and caring. Not that they ever care about the average publisher anyway as seen by your experience.

I hope you are happy now and that you have finally rid yourself of fear and guilt. Enjoy your new life and new baby boy

Looking forward to getting to know more about you. Hope your new internet connection is successful.

New to board

by Maryblondgrl in

well hello all....yes...i'm a newbie.... and yep...i am an inactive witness.

haven't been to a meeting in a while.

my entire family are witnesses, actually had a relative that proclaimed to be of the 144000...thats how deep....this is third generation witnesses here in this family.

Velvetann

WELCOME MARYBLONDGIRL!!!!

I am sure you will set your fears to rest once you hang around this group for a while

I have faded away and haven't been to a meeting in 25 years. I was raised a JW from the time I was 3 years old and that was in the 1950's. The end was near then and continued to be imminent throughout the years until now and much has happened but still no end of world.

I didn't like being a JW and said to myself I would rather die than live a life as a JW so I left. but I still thought it might be the truth and was fearful everytime something big happened politically or things like 9/11. Thinking about all the JW teachings kind of faded but was still at the back of my mind until I found this site and the information provided by many well informed disillusioned exjws.

All the information and support you will ever need you will find here. I can finally say I am free from fear of the JW's teachings.

Yes the world is in a mess, and maybe something is going to happen but it won't be anything to do with JW's teachings. I have stopped worrying about it because there is nothing we can do and we don't have to be a member of the Watchtower Society to gain salvation.

Just because you can find it in your size....

yesterday, i was in court and was sitting in the front row going through my paperwork waiting to see if the defendant will show, i look across the walk way and there is a very large latina girl sitting directly across from me.

she was wearing a short little black dress that had a slit all the way up to ass cheek, her boobs were nearly popping out, her little black dress shoes looked as if she was baking bread in them.

now don't get me wrong i have nothing against full figured girls, however there are limits, i mean did she not know that when she sat down her dress went up over her ass?

Your description of this woman is hillarious, you had me ROTFL. I can just picture her. I am sure she feels sexy, or she wouldn't dress like that.

If I am even 5 lbs overweight I wear baggy clothes, my husband is always after me to wear tight tight clothes and short dresses....NOT unless I am a toothpick. I hate the look of flesh spilling out all over the place on me at least.

Once I was at a water park with my 10 year old son, we were splashing around in the pool and this huge east Indian woman came along. For one thing you rarely see east indian women exposed like that never mind that Fat. She was wearing a bright orange string bikini. She was at least 350 lbs and you couldn't see the front bottom of her bikini because her stomachs hung down over it. It was so skimpy that her butt crack was exposed by about 6 inches. The top only just covered the ends of her mammoth breasts, so that her nipples were at least covered. Between the top of her suit and the bottom were rolls and rolls of fat. My son was staring with his mouth wide open as he couldn't believe this sight. Well I have never seen anything as awful before, she certainly was a freak show dressed like that If she had a bathing suit that covered her more and fitted her then she would not have even looked out of place.
