Since I started drinking coffee in my teens - I have only owned a French Press (probably on my 10th by now) - have never owned the kind you plug in. When I have to drink drip coffee, I think it is far inferior to pressed.

I'm totally in love...
by mrsjones5 inwith my french press.. *warning* if fluff topics make you gag and expose your superority complex then this topic is not for you...move along.
a few months ago i got a little french press from a thrift shop but i never used it.
last weekend i went to visit a good friend for a few days and i got my chance to use my little french press because my dear friend doesn't have a coffee maker which is kinda strange cuz he loves coffee just as much as i. .

Did you ever "love" the organization?
by slimboyfat ini am catching up on this july 15th study watchtower everyone is talking about.
it's perhaps a bit more intense in its vitriol than has been published in the watchtower in a long while (since the early 1980s apostate witch hunt) but it's stuff we've all heard before, even down to comparing apostasy to an illness and calling apostates mentally diseased.. but the phrase that stuck out for me was this:.
they may arise from within the congregation.

Absolutely! I loved it with my heart and soul - I loved the organization more than I loved God. My uncles went to prison during WWII for this organization. My aunts never married and devoted their entire lives to missonary work after graduating from some of the first classes of Gilied. I knew Knorr and Franz on a first name basis (Nathan came to our house many times when I was little) and one aunt is married to Joel Adams. I read "Faith on the March" more times than I can remember - and I was proud and honored to be associatiated with that organization. I volunteered at Patterson every May picking strawberries, thinking it was such an honor to do that.
I absolutely loved the WBTS - and I believed in everything they said.

Is it me or do the JW's act like the Circuit Overseer is Jesus himself?
by stillstuckcruz ini'm sure many have noticed that.
now obviously many more will go out in fs than usual and such because the co brings more "insight" on fs than the usual brothers.
understandable i guess.

My MIL (who was a 1st generation witness with an unbelieving husband) signed up to have the CO and his wife over for dinner. She thought this was one of the greatest honors a person could possibly have. She planned it for weeks - went all out with a 8 courses, top of the line food, no expense spared meal. She bought new dining room pictures, had the house professionally cleaned including carpets and drapes. It came time to serve dessert and the CO said he had made it very clear that dessert was not to be included in their lunch time meals. They thanked her and left. She was absolutely devastated - she felt she had failed the CO, the cong, the elders and Jehovah and Jesus. I felt so sorry for her that this stupid meal meant so much to her and for years so spoke of it like she had committed some form of apostacy at that meal. It was quite sad.

Yan - you are so sweet to take care of your wife like that.
Your Memorial sounds much like mine. At least you had a bow tie to look at. Our speaker had on some leasure suit from the 70's and a tie that for sure came from Saver's.

Were You Ever Treated "Differently" Because One of Your Family Members Was Disfellowshipped?
by Was New Boy in"by their love"...... shunning in the "borg" many times has effected not just the person that was dfed but other family members too.. my father was dfed in 1962 for "rebeliousness against the organization" he wanted to go to a different kh than we were assigned to.
needless to say that decision was later reversed.. that was strange, but how the witnesses treated my mother, sister and myself....was even stranger.
it was as if.... we now had some kind of leprosy.

Six months after I was married, one of my brothers was DF'ed. My husband was so embarrassed and ashamed. He let me know every chance he had that he never would have married me if he knew he was going to be related to Df'ed ones.

Temporarily tired of JW boyfriend. Should I: a) leave
by SEL inor b) continue in my plan of eventually getting him out with steve hassan's help?.
option b is going to be expensive but not impossibly so.
but it would require more patience than i think i have.

If you are tired of him now, imagine what it will be like after a few years of marriage (UGH)
Here is some great advice....
