  do you ever get used to bumping into witnesses that you know.. i still go out in with the thought of it tin the back of my mind.

  i hate the death stares i get.

  i feel like walking uo to them and saying "i'm not the devil or a murderer, just no longer a witness".

  What did you actually enjoy about JW meetings?

  by Pinned Blouse in

  2. friends

  .

  as much as i dreaded going to all the meetings there were things that i did enjoy.. 1. no special parking spaces for the elders, etc.. 2. no collections plate going around the room.

  3. no one person giving the talk every single week (can you imagine the same speaker 3 to 4 times a week, every day?

  there are some that seem to have been bothered by the meddlesome elders and their constant inquiries.

  were you one of those that the elders were always checking on??

  Mimi old man-

  I policed my local elders........ nothin they fear more than a "angry man with a bible"....And for the record I've disfellowshiped THEM....

  Doesnt the good book teach that "marking' is really a matter of distancing ones self fom hurtful influences? I got on my horse and rode away.... They never had power over me... I just sorta liked having a "religion" and when I realized they were not in my Best spiritual intrest.. the rest is as they say, "history".

  are you one of those sleepers where the slightest noise will wake you up?

  or could you sleep through an earthquake?

  do you sleep on your back?

  Red wool union suit... year round... on my back...sleep through normal noises... up right now if something is out of order...

  worked a 'call out job for a long time... can jump out of bed and be fully functional by the time my feet are on the floor... that job would keep one out 30 hours at time sometimes.... I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat for a short nap-- a skill learned working storm breaks as a lineman

  I snore like Thor tosses lightning bolts....man size snores... with timbre and rythm legends are made of... a deep sexy baritone of a snore...chicks dig it!

  well it's come to my attention that some of you took thunders poem literally.

  that you now have images as a crazed testosterone filled male.....even some of you that have met him.

  i just want you to know that it was a poem....a very symbolic riddled poem.

  WHAT! He's not a crazed ax-weilding, deranged pshyco? The kind of guy who would ring Sponge Bob Square Pants out to wipe a ditry stain...the man does'nt roam the neighborhood on a bike while wearing a coat of mail and a jock strap and cup? I figured he had to sleep on a cage and wear a muzzle. Piles of half gnawed raw flesh cast about..............

  i was just wondering.

  since college was (still is?

  ) discouraged, have any of you known persons of higher education to be in the organization, either by completing it while in or became jw afterwards?

  The few professional witnesses I have known have tended to have been educated before conversion...

  They tended to be in the larger population areas...West Palm FL has quite a few 'upscale' Jw's , Memphis had its share...small town congos tend to be working class dogs.

  I have know a few nurses, engineers , high end technical folks ... I knew a couple of kids in Memphis who went to Memphis State (ones a dentist now I think) who went on their dead dads social security payments. A few kids I knew played the "my dads not in the truth and he MAKES me go to college card" back in the 70's.

  I wish my Dad hated me that much while he was an elder.

  Jebus hon... you really know how to pick em.

  I rented a room in a house full of people once for a few weeks.... that was a little strange...felt like an outsider and never had a lot of 'privacy'... to many eyes and ears ya know? Never felt my stuff was secure either... to many keys...

  I don't think I could have a roomie... unless we got along well enough... well , hahah that's marriage?

  Been my experience that the couple of (short term) buddys who bunked with me (years ago) would drink all my beer and run up my phone bill.... just not a good thing.

  AHEM--

  as far as commercial aircraft goes whilst you Brits were flying ( and crashing ) the first jet airliner.. the "Comet", Boeing was engineering and building the world famous B 707 series.

  The B 707 is a direct descendant to the B52, (know in my part of the world as "the aluminum overcast"...) and history shows how adaptable a nukie platform can be in conventional tactical operations

  The B 707 evolved into the 727, 747, and 767 class airplane...

  I do need to know why the Brits can invent all this good stuff... and the Lucas automotive electrical system in one millineum... just crazy talk!
