in a minimus moment, i find myself interested in knowing which buzz-words and phrases in jw publications stand out the most to you?
when i read wt literature, i constantly find myself astounded by how transparently cultish the language is.

Funniest thing I've read all day :)
i went to my parents' place for supper yesterday.
as usual, i got on the subject of the society.
my mother told me that she talked to a friend of hers about the un thing, and her friend knew about it.
Could be a beginning. It's significant to me because SHE smells something rotten on her own :)
generally speaking i love canadians, i don't think in real life i've ever had reason to fault them, i've only met half a dozen or so.
but i like canadians.
ameri .... now stop right there, you know you love them too, much wackier but still likeable enough, for all their daftness.

i have caught myself preaching while in a few of those rooms, till i had to tone it down a bit and say just tell them what you personaly think, not what the wt says.
Ya mean that loving place where jws have told me gawd's gonna kill me & birds are gonna peck my eyes out?? Lol! I gave it up for lent. It's not fun anymore. Too many "poop" discussions, love life problems & wierdos in there.
Where have all the obnoxious, hilarious jws gone? Whateverhappened to Dent?
Did Judi ever find out the true meaning of head? Did Burlingtony the good jw ever find anyone stupid enough to have cyber sex with him? Inquiring minds wanna know :)
i attended a notorious congregation as a child, the infamous winter gardens congregation!
my cousin and his best friend, both named joe, were elders, my cousin was the po and the other joe was a total loser suck up who wanted to be just like my cousin, joe.
what was even funnier, as i get off point a bit, is that "suck up" joe's wife, cathy, did everything she could do to get her pudgy lil self to dress, look, walk, and talk like my cousin joe's wife, clementine.
Lol (wishing I did my time in the witchtower concentration camp at ColdRedRain's cong :)

Mouthy is out, because I don't believe she has a cranky bone in her body.
But, on the other hand, she is a hottie! Maybe there lurks a smoldering wild cat there, hiding :)

Probably would have been the elder/chiropractor that brought his secretary into the troof & his bed. He "studied" with her. I never knew who her husband was, he didn't "study". This all came out because she got preggers. Then they both sat there dfed. She sat there hugely pregnant, df'ed. I felt so bad for her, because she didn't have many friends to begin with. They all tried to hush this up, her husband raised the child & it was only recently the chiropractor's son was told by his aunt that this kid in the congo was his "sister".
Still doesn't compare with puternet's story, but hey, l I tried :)
i am curious, our family was homeless on and off for several years.
i am trying to communicate to my little brother that growing up this way does not preclude one from a normal life.
is anyone willing to share a story that i can pass on to him??
My mother got involved with the jws when I was 13. I hated it with a passion. I never believed their bs & was just biding my time till I could get away. At the age of 15.5 I worked 56 hours a week in a resteraunt to avoid being home & refused to go to a kingdom hall. She bided her time also.
As soon as it was legal, she threw my ass out. I lived with friends & bounced around & landed in the worst neighborhood in Arizona. An apartment complex full of welfare mamas, drug dealers, illegal aliens, professional shop lifters, & no count losers. Criminal elements of every shape & form. I shoplifted dinner when I wasn't working at the resteraunt & ate well. Hell, I learned from the rest of that apartment complex!
It was a learning experience, & it made me one tough cookie. Around the age of 20, the novelty wore off & I started looking around with a more critical eye. I realized most of these welfare children were going to grow up to be in big trouble, & many of those people would be dead soon. I started college with no parental help (the world was gonna end soon, who NEEDED college) . Thank goodness for government grants & guaranteed student loans :)
I stayed there while I went to school, got a great job, & never looked back into the psychosis that launched me there. Anyone can do it, but they must be motivated! Supportive, sane people around help also. But a person must have the drive.
Living well is the best revenge!
the first poster that i ever met was philo.. we'd traded a few stories via the site and i realised that we knew some of the same people down in portsmouth.. he was very cagey as to his real identity, but eventually we shared emails and he told me all about himself.
one day, i took hl down to portsmouth to see my daughter who lives there.
i'd mentioned it in a post, that i was going in that direction.
Sentences Jim to 5 push ups, & lunch :)
