  Cedars

  You ought to send that link to a few news forums, like Huffington.

  I think it may get some coverage.

  Still annoyed. I wish I hadn't seen it. Ruined my day.

  Poor Caleb..he hasn't a chance at a normal life with his obsessive compulsive clean

  freak mother and Arnold Schwartzenegger like father. This has to be classed as

  a form of abuse. Also the point brough up before about the consequences..good

  one. The end result of not listening to your parents is VERY overplayed and

  dramatic.

  Make me wanna hurl.

  Last year I took a bath in my dog's flea and tick shampoo thinking it was my bath gel.

  I thought it smelled a bit funny, but I didn't realise it until I was drying off.

  "You will live where you are told to live!"

  one of our most dogmatic, authoritarian elders at the congregation i used to attend made this comment.. .

  the wts has beat the drum of absolute authority so long and hard that the idea of free will, or even the notion of a god who might take in to consideration the wants, likes, and desires of his own people has been strangled out of the jw psychology.. .

  in one of his talks, brother that's final informed the congregation that it is pointless for us to engage in speculation about how our lives will be in the new system.

  I can just see the "official letter from Jehovah."

  Dear Brother and Sister Dubbie:

  Jehovah has blessed you with an assignment where you will be of the most help.

  Please report to the Australian outback as soon as possible. If you need to reach

  the GB, please write to them in Hawaii, where they're now serving with Jehovah's blessing

  as well... :)

  A co-worker over a chair. I switched the chair in one of the courtrooms that didn't suit her (rather larger)

  posterior and that was it. She thew a fit and I just mentioned how sophmoric the whole thing was.

  The next day she was standing at my door telling me that I was making her look bad, etc., so I got

  up and told her that she didn't need me for that job and I that I had enough of her bleating on and

  shut the door in her face. She still continued to talk so I switched on my fan.

  Any more fond (not so) DC memories?

  my oldest child was barely 4 months old and not an easy baby.

  she cried all the time....and getting her to sleep during the day was a pain.....especially in a facility that was 80 degrees with a/c.

  on sunday afternoon of the dc....knowing we had a two hour drive home (she also didn't sleep in the car well).....i went to an "off limits" area with her.

  Did you used to be an assembly food rapist?

  by yourmomma in

  2. experiences

  i confess proudly that i was one of the biggest assembly food rapists when it switched to the donation arrangement.

  in fact, i would roll up to the counter with a fake list and pretend i was getting food for a huge family, lol.

  "uh, yes, hello sister, what a fine morning program that was, may i please have 6 roast beef sandwhiches, 6 chocolate puddings, 6 apple danishes, 6 sodas....etc" and i would eat throughout the entire fking program, as it was so boring there was nothing else to do.

  things to get that nasty food. I can't eat pudding or cheese danishes

  or so says ronald weinland;.

  may 27, 2012april 29, 2012. as readers of this site know, may 27, 2012, is the time that i have stated as being the date jesus christ will return as king of kings over all government on this earth.

  for such an event to come to pass, the trumpets of revelation must all sound, the united states and dollar collapse, the ten nations of europe arise to fulfill the final revival of the holy roman empire, and russia with china must unite against europe in wwiii.. .... http://www.ronaldweinland.com/.

  If that were true, I'd eat anything I wanted for a few days and stay drunk on wine.

  I suppose he ought to talk to Harold Camping...
