Not Jesus, but my Saab. And I looked around, and it is good. I resurrected him after 7 months in Gehenna, and he is now at my right hand, ruling the roadways. His headlights are a lamp to your foot and a light to your roadway. And their came to be evening, and their came to be morning, a new day; and it is good, sayeth Lord JK.

Do COs have a cushy life?

by A question in

jw
friends

do cos (and dos) have a cushy life in comparison with other jws, or others in fulltime service?.

it could be said that they do, since they have an apartment provided for them, meals out, green handshakes, and invites to social gatherings.

it could also be said that they do not, since they may have to live in a different house every week, accept whatever food they're given, and they have a lot more meetings than the average jw.. .

Sapphy,

You almost made me do a spittake.

my husband is gravely ill sedated and on a ventilator.

we are not disfellowshipped.

Annie,

You and your husband are in my thoughts, and am sending my best wishes and positive vibes for both of you.

Would you rather....

by anezthy in

if armageddon struck right now.... would you rather be:.

the only jw passenger on a transatlantic jet that now has no pilot and will be crashing into the ocean or,.

the only jw person on a high rise elevator that is now stalled on the 110th floor without any food, power, a/c or communication or,.

JRK

I would rather not dwell on any of those scenarios, since the "Big A" is never going to come.

Emblem stupidity, and the bizarre dance of the confused memorial-taker

by cedars in

jw
friends

well, i went along to the memorial with mrs cedars.

it was my first since my "awakening" just less than a year ago.

apparently i made a lot of people happy by being there (even if it was only building up false hopes), the most important of which were my family.

JRK

One year, I was one of the dorks assigned to pass the emblems. That year some jackass filed the glasses to the rim with wine. That made things interesting and messy.

How Many Years have your JW Relatives Shunned You ?

by flipper in

jw
friends

i felt with newer members coming on and other jw fence sitters lurking it might be a good thing to explain what many of us have had to go through in regards to being shunned, cut off, ostracized from our jw families in an unjust way .

whether we are dfed or inactive - many of us have shared this same fate and ill treatment.

for many of us- it makes us stronger, more firmly entrenched that the decision we made to exit the jehovah's witness organization was the correct decision as no organization that claims to be " christian " would ever commit such horrid atrocities or justify it !

Do you know the story about Pink Floyd's first concert?

by compound complex in

jw
friends

i'm listening to streaming audio from hearts of space, and pink floyd (new to me after all these years) is featured on the program "when space met rock.".

their playing a concert began amidst beautiful, sunny weather - then came the storm .... were you there?

or have you read the story?.

JRK

I saw them in '95 sans Rager Waters, it was still a great show. Momentary Lapse of Reason tour.

Here is an ancient song of theirs, with Syd:
