  happy turkey day everyone... the one thing i can be grateful about this year is that i am over a year out of the borg.... that was a huge milestone.. i have only distant relatives close by and wont be able to travel this year to be with my brothers (who live 5 and 8 hours away) or mom (11 hours away).

  just no time or money to travel this year.. i did receive an invitation to spend turkey day dinner with a jwder and their family, but this year i think i am just going to coccoon the next couple of days... .

  (i am very very grateful that they thought of me to extend the invite.

  American police Torture 54 year old woman for not moving.....

  http://www.infowars.net/articles/november2008/261108taser.htm.

  we should start worrying about this in the uk as the taser gun is being used as an instrument of torture against non violent people already in the usa, the land of the 'very unfree' and our own government plans to arm 10,000 police officers with this self same instrument of torture.. someone tell me that the lunatics are not running the asylum!.

  if anything....this proves it.. i know there are other people such as myself with hidden heart conditions who would die immeadiately is one of these were ever used on them.. what's going on in this crazy world?.

  first....there's always more than one side to these stories...

  second..have you ever fought with an enraged woman? Women are much worse than a man to fight with. I speak from experience. Or tried to carry a person OUT OF A STADIUM??? Up or down many stairs??? I'm not breaking my back for that.

  third..tasers are NOT torture...puh-leeze. I've been shot with one WITH PRONGS. It lasts 5 seconds and it's over. They are a very good alternative device to being smacked with a baton.

  And as others wisely put it...when a police officer gives you a direction..DO IT...in the middle of a situation is NOT the time to argue about it. That's what Internal Affairs and civil suits are for later.

  Like in any profession there are good and bad cops. It's amazing how people are always willing to believe the worst about the police. But when they need the police, they scream(baaaaaa) very loudly.....

  When SHOULD you have "woken up" ?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can look back to a number of occasions when if i had at the time not left my braincells at home on charge, i should have "woken up" and walked from the wtbs.. one such was 15 or 20 yers ago we had a washtowel on daniels prophecy with the really wacky explanations of the 1260 days and 2300 days etc.

  i had about 12 questions on this,like what on earth happened on the supposed finish date that marked the fulfillment of a great prophecy,i also had this thing that showed the 2520 years to be crap,i gave the list of questions to 7 or 8 elders,and none of them gave me a decent answer!.

  one kindly elder,who has since faded,warned me to be carefull who i showed my questions to,and hinted that he felt it was all suspect too.. what a big banana i was not to wake up then!.

  So many times I should've walked away. BUT the time that stands out in my mind is 1988. The elders told my df'd best friend that if she wanted to be reinstated that she should stay away from me to make the best effort possible. Michelle and I agreed to do that.

  Michelle died unexpectedly November 16,1988.

  Those power tripping elders took the last months with my best friend away from me.

  She was 20 yrs old.

  When you're sick do you...

  i'm just getting a general consensus of the folks out there.

  yesterday my wife was sick with the stomach flu.

  she was home with the baby and i ended up having to call out of work so that i could take care of the baby because she was sick.

  Depends on the illness. Bronchitis won't keep me off work till it turns into pnuemonia.

  Stomach flu(or anything in the GI tract) requires calling off work, and having someone deliver saltines and Coke.

  Coke sipped slowly will cure anything......

  feel better!!!!

  MTs...word of advice...

  NEVER EVER run out into the snow in your summer flip flops and pajamas to go start your car.

  It's very embarrassing to fall on you ass and have your dog stand there laughing at you!!!!!!!!!!!

  JWs and Domestic Violence

  by Amha·’aret in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember when i was in my early teens finding out about a jw brother who was hitting his jw wife.

  her parents were also witnesses and were disgusted with his behaviour (and rightly so).

  i was completely shocked at the time, thinking those kinds of things just didn't happen among a loving brotherhood.

  Domestic Violence is everywhere. Across all boundaries of race, religion, economic status. It's right up there with child abuse as being kept secret. So many factors go into it. Mental illness, anger issues, drug/alcohol abuse, stress. And some men(AND women too) are just plain ole a-holes that need a dirt nap.

  just my .02
