  i know that this has been a popular post in the past.

  but after my last post, it got me thinking.

  i used to always use those stupid field service report slips as scratch paper.

  Oh I bet you did! I'm not sure I could have done it...I am far too independent and am not submissive in the least...lol.
  
  I'm glad your current husband is wonderful to you...that's how a marriage is supposed to be! :D

  Noah's Ark a full time building project, so where did Noah get his food?

  here is a question about noah and his ark building project.. building an ark would be a full time job!

  and not just building it, the materials that made up the ark had to be collected and fashioned, they just weren't laying about!..

  ok, but what about the food, housing and clothing for noah and his family?

  elders, mss, pioneers, ... heck even cos who privately expressed doubts to you directly or other reliable sources?.

  (i hate the distinction between those "spiritual giants" (i never was one...just a r&f/ms) and the common folk).

  but it's interesting / stregthening to hear stories of them expressing their distaste at some of the bs..

  I had a good MS friend a while back, and he told me after a few beers, that his wife (pioneer daughter of big elder type) scarred him with the comment: "what if all this just turns out to be wrong? and we're just another weird religion"

  Oh no, the wheels started turning in her brain! BIG JW no-no...hehehe. Wonder how long it will take her (and him) to figure out she hit the nail on the head with that comment?

  he didn't notice me since i was walking far behind him.

  That's great Jesika! I'm sure Mr. Handsy was aware upon acquiring employment there that physical contact of any kind was not allowed...so any punishment placed on him is HIS FAULT...even if all he had done was place his arm around your shoulders. Of course since he decided to grab your breast he also deserves a good beat down (IMO), or at least the authorities notified. Way to go turning the jerk in!

  my mother knows i have lots of issues with the org.

  yet she still forwards me this crap as "encouragement".

  i love my mother, but i wish i could get through to her that jw's aren't any more special to god than anyone else.

  Guess I should specify I'm not dissing God or Jesus...just the portrayal of them given by the JWs.

  thank you all for your recommendations.

  It's that DF branding, I think. Some people shun you worse if you're DFed than if you just fade. I know my parents faded for awhile but weren't completely shunned by the members of the congregation. They still talked to them on occasion and whatnot. I think people with family still in the Borg especially prefer fading to DFing in hopes that their family will not completely cut them off.

  Let me add one more thing to that, Fadeout.

  How many JW parents have "sacrificed" THEIR children for JEHOVAH by not allowing them to have a blood transfusion? I think he is MORE than paid back for HIS sacrifice.

  Two things I don't get...how the heck SO MANY MEN can be brainwashed into not doing things that are the most sought after "activities" in the real world? No oral, no manual, no anything except missionary...are you KIDDING me? And not only to abstain from doing those things, but to also turn the wife in to a bunch of other MEN for WANTING to do some of those things. Wow, just wow.

  One more thing...missionary is probably one of the least enjoyable positions for a woman (alright...for ME...but I can imagine this is the same for most other women). I'm wondering if this is just another way of the GB punishing women in the Borg. The guy can "get his" but most (if not all) the time the woman is left unsatisfied because of all the damn limitations. I know many women CANNOT be satisfied with sex alone...me thinks the GB knows this and that's why they put all the restrictions up. Sexist azzholes!!!

  Looks like SATAN is persecuting me!!!

  i just got off the phone with my stepmother (who is in the hospital with a shattered femur and wrist from a moped accident).

  i had previously thought that her and my father were inactive, but now it appears they may be on their way back in to the borg.

  we were talking about a visit she'd had with my daughter and how my daughter's father was calling constantly to "check up" on what was going on (nice little rant about what a jerk he is) when i hear her say "yeah, it was really irritating for him to be calling so much, we were getting calls from the brothers and didn't want him interrupting us!

It has been YEARS since I've had any kind of conversation with them concerning anything JW-related...now a week and a half after joining this site I find out they're probably involved again. Darn Satan for persecuting me!!! (Hey, if they can blame Satan for all the problems in their lives, so can I!)

  I fear this may mean the shunning they've already been practicing with me will end up getting worse...to the point where we don't talk at ALL about ANYTHING. At least when they were inactive we'd have general conversation here and there and hung out together if I visited CT. This bites... Well, at least my two and a half year old (who they've only seen in person once) lightened the mood a bit. I put her on the phone and she exclaims "Hi Grammommy!!! I wuv vooooo!!!!" Got a chuckle out of my stepmom and a "awww that was cute", so who knows. Maybe the desire to be more involved grandparents will counteract the stupid shunning rule a little bit? I can hope!

  Oh, but she's alright, in case anyone was wondering. Surgery went better than expected and it's looking like she'll graduate to the convalescent home on Friday if she continues to make progress. So that's good!

  ok, not to change anyones religious beliefs or anything but just because in my weird head!

  i think it would be funny to protest at the assembly, with a bunch of people wearing funny halloween costumes of all sorts.

  i know that a lot of people here are against that sort of thing, but i want to do it just because it will funny.
