i just received my copy and am only on about pg 20 but i think you guys would enjoy it enormously!!
it is funny and even a non jw would understand the workings of dubland.
so far i highly recommend it and am anxious to hear what the ex jw's here have to say about it.. .
I also started a thread on this book. I thought the was boring. I agree Carla, she had other issues like a chemical imbalance. I also would not recomend it to any one fading. I thought possibly I could pass it on to my daughter but its not that kind of book.
I have read better stories on this forum and found some of the best JW humor on this forum. I'm sorry I spent $2400 on this book. I am sorry to have to give her book such a poor rating but this forum is a much better read.
i was disappointed in this book, i kept reading it hoping it would get better.
i guess i got spoiled by this forum.
i have found better writings and stories here and a heck of a lot more humor.
This forum isn't costing any of us any money and I really feel there are a lot more interesting things to read here and the humor here far surpasses what I have read in this book.
She did add humor but nothing that made me laugh out loud, however, reading things on this forum had me cracking up several times.

I honestly think if simon, farkel, or any of you on this forum could really put together a great book just on the humor and life stories right off this forum. Of course, if you use anybodies writings, you should split the profit. lol.
Just my opinion.
i got home from work last night and guess what happened while i was gone?.
my wife tells me she called the presiding overseer to set up a time for all of us to talk about our premarital no-no's.. "really?
" i asked her.
Wing Control and Cameo, I totally agree with both of you. Why should anyone have to walk on eggs all their day's afraid they might upset someone because of their own feelings? You disagree and your being punished daily for following your own thinking and reasoning. One partner calling all the shots, either believe like me or your evil. Sheesh! How can anyone live like that?
Your wife did over step her boundaries by going behind your back and calling the PO.
The day some religious organization tries to talk to me about a sexual private matter between two partners is the day I would say good bye. I will never understand where they get off thinking they have a right to question you or anyone on such a private matter. That should be left to the two partners or a marriage councelor.
I know you have a child involved in this marriage and that makes it difficult but at the same time, I feel raising a child in a cult is child abuse and maybe the child would be better off with one parent that is not involved.
Take a stand for your individual rights Jimmy Page, tell the PO its your household and you don't need some outsiders interferring. I'll bet they will back down, may DA you or DF you but thats what your really wanting anyway.
I still think you need to reverse the situation, get p***** everytime she brings up the WT, get p***** everytime she takes your child to KH or a DC. Make her be the one to feel uncomfortable around you. Make her be the one walking on eggs everytime she has a jw friend over, walk around being rude don't speak to them act like their taking up your comfort time in your own home. Just make life miserable for her when it comes to anything JW. It may be bad advise but heck, why are you the one always doing the giving.
I truely feel sorry for you and your child for having to deal with this cult, truely sorry! I have family in too and it just makes me crazy.
about 15 jw are stuck in an elevator with a cathlic priest.
after about one hour and no hope of getting out the priest takes out his rosery beeds and then proceed to bless them.
the wj freek out being stuck in a elevator with saton.
wtwizard,
another clever answer, made me lol.
i am a news and financial news junkie.
i can't help but be impressed by some of the "stand out" anchorettes/reporterettes.
not only are they very talented, but there are some real lookers.
My favorites are Megan Kelly and Bill Hemmer Fox News
.
what will prevent you from being deceived again and making the same mistake?.
what is your criteria now for weighing truth vs "enlightened-sounding" fiction?.
wtwizard,
What you just wrote made more sense to me then anything I have ever heard. I think you hit the nail on the head!
That would be a miserable existence.
i notice the site kind of shut down around 9 pacific time.
where is everyone?
watching 24?.
24 is my favorite tv show, both my husband and I are tuned in but only after recording it, get through those nagging commercials.
This show really keeps me on the edge of my seat and I hate when the clock runs out of time.
2nd, favorite show is , The Unit, its another one of those that keeps me on the edge of my seat.
i know- you aren't used to seeing me ask a simple question like this.
so- i'll start .
i am 49 years old, will be 50 in october .
How old are you, if you don't know how old you are?
I am 61 but what is called the new 50's.
Just incase flipper, I am 5'3" , weight 125, 37- 30-39, dark hair, brown eyes, med. skin tone
married for 42 yrs. to the same wonderful man

Flipper, did I leave anything out?

I was a Catholic and I doubted the church, so I left it. I will not put my trust in any man made doctrines. If I chose to follow the bible, I think Jesus made it very clear, if we accept Him as our saviour, we try to take on His personality, by doing so, we are living as Christians and will have everlasting life.
What I am leaning to more and more is, this life is all there is, then comes death, and that is the end of our story. No different then a bug that gets squashed or one that lives out its life, but in the end, the bug is still dead. Some are just fortunate to live longer then others.
When your dead, its " Lights Out the Party's Over", so live this life to the fullest. I would rather spend my time in this life being a decent, loving and kind person over one that choses a life of crime, being unkind, mean and unforgiving.
