anyone else feel inadequate
by 46&2 inover the past 10 years ive tried coming back to the truth only to find myself back in the world doing silly things again and again.
i am onnce again determined to come back to the truth but feel that i am beyond redemption.
i feel ashamed going to talk to the elders cause they have dealt with me on two other occasions once being disfellowshipped 10 years ago and reproved two years ago.

46&2- Welcome to the board. The Doc has something there- just because the Watchtower says you committed offenses doesn't necessarily mean God considers your actions offensive to Him. If you lurk around the board a bit you'll find that many of the doctrines of "the truth" are actually lies. Many of the Witness beliefs may be "Bible based" but they add in things that are not taken from the Bible and are not supported by it. Logic- welcome to you, too. Another good point- "the truth" is not always the truth! -Potential

I dreamed I was an ACTIVE WITNESS
by berylblue inin my maidenform bra.. .
don't know what made me remember that old ad.. .
if you're old enough to remember those stupid maidenform advertisements, you're old enough to remember some really bad ads.....sheesh, and the men's rights activists complain about how men are portrayed as dummies in commercials?

Sounds terrifying! Not the bra- the prospect of being active...I do remember those pointy bras- YIKES! The laundry remark made me instantly think of the old ads featuring the "ancient Chinese secret" ha ha! -Potential

What's your favorite dinner?
by beksbks inhome cooked, healthy if possible?
mine is probably some sort of salad.

My favorite is as Orbison said- anything made by some one else! Preferably Mexican food- start with a fiery salsa and chips, maybe some chile con queso and a great guacamole (not just mashed up avocados, but with lemon, spices, onion and tomatoes mixed in). Then onto the main course- I love crispy chicken tacos, or a really good enchilada verde (with tomatillo sauce), refried beans on the side and homemade flour tortillas. Ice tea is my drink of choice- unsweet, please! Running a close second- BBQ chicken or smoked turkey with pinto beans, potato salad (or baked potato) and/or cole slaw, and iced tea of course. If I hafta make it myself I love a huge vegetable salad with spinach for the base instead of iceberg or romaine, with everything on it! -Potential

Hummingbirds are back
by BrentR ineven though it's snowing right now.. my wife just hung out the feeders a couple days ago.

Brent- Great photos!
I just saw my first hummer of the season this morning- how serendipitous! The ones we have here are as Purza described, the ruby throated ones with a green body, really pretty.
I have a trick for the ants Momz- vaseline or any petroleum jelly. Ants hate it, and if you smear some on the top of your feeder or anywhere the ants might access it they won't cross the vaseline line. I had the same problem until I read the tip somewhere last year and tried it- it really does work. Saves work too, from having to clean the dang piss ants out of the feeders!
I've read that if you have more than one feed you should put it in a place that is out of sight of any other feeders, that way the birds don't get so agitated over the other hummers in the area.

Jaguar- don't put George W off on us southerners! He was born in Connecticut, no matter where he calls home now. I don't think he could have won the election with only the southern states behind him. Oh wait, he DIDN'T win the election- he was awarded the presidency by the US supreme court. Bastards! -Potential

Did you know I am a SATANIST?
by Tired of the Hypocrisy inseveral months ago, my wife's drunken, wife abusing, bully of a jw uncle offered (we didn't ask...he offered, ok?
) to allow us to use some space on his property to store some things we had in a 10x10x8 storage unit we were paying for.
it sounded good since we are short of cash most of the time and it would only be for about 3-4 months.

For folks that don't believe in hell they sure do see demons everywhere...and now the criteria for being a satanist is watching r rated movies?!!! WTF?! That still doesn't explain what kind of demonic possessions you supposedly own. Man, what a bunch of turds! -Potential

my Mom wore PANTS to the memorial
by mkr32208 inok so my mom has been a dub for a long time... i don't know how long for sure but since before i was born at least.
anyway she's... well not submissive!
she was in fact a bra burning hippie feminist before becoming a dub and how they ever convinced her i don't know.

I didn't know that dresses were mandatory- one more reason NOT to go! Yes, we were invited. But hubby already knew I thought the whole thing was weird. We thought about going to the church up the road, but it's Church of Christ and they don't believe women should wear pants (at all, I believe)- I just can't hang with that! I don't need my church telling me how to dress, I'm an adult, thank you.

Do JW's lie about incest
by doughnut ini have just been told my so called sisters husband committed incest, i have asked her if this is true, but she won't answer properly.
she has never treated me as family because i am worldly, this man is an elder and has preached to me about being imoral, has never had much contact with my family, infact twice over the last 14 years we've seen him.
she has told me i love lies and sordid secrets.

GROSS. How sick is that?! Why would the sister lie??? It sounds like you have a pretty reliable source there, and it is indeed a cover up. You know what the scripture says- before you point out the speck of dust in your brother's eye you'd better take the log out of you own. For someone who's supposed to be one of God's chosen few your sis has some major problems. BTW- Welcome to the board!!! -Potential
