hi friends,.
it's been awhile since i've been talkative.
thought i'd give you an account of my latest family dysfunction.. a brief backstory is that i am an only child whose parents were born in jw's.
3rd,
I am so sorry for your loss. Not the recent death, but the loss of being as close to an orphan as you can be without being one.
I swear, there is NO shred of social skills in that dreaded organization! They put the "funk" in dysfunction. I wish you a complete healing journey.

i saw this news scrolling at the bottom of the television screen this morning.
i looked it up.
not much of a story, but it certainly has the ring of truth to it.
Prince was speaking from a "high" plane. High people are not rational or lucid.

so recently, my jw wife asks me if i ever considered taking up a cause.it was a question out of the blue, coming off of a discussion about politics.
so while it was unsaid, she was really getting at whether i was considering being politically active in some way.. i already have a standard answer that i have used before with other people, so i said it.
"no, i will be content to work and get by then retire and sit in the sun with a good book and a cold water.
OTWO,
I think your cause should be to see more concerts. I think you should start this weekend.

i proably shouldnt be on here but i feel like saying this.
i have been for the last couple weeks been studying religion.
i've learned the only ones who today do what the bible says to is jw.
A Believer has now got 3 hours of time in.

i picked up bernard cornwell's the pagan lord at the library.
historical fiction set in england after the death of alfred the great.
i'm loving it, especially the between-the-lines wit and sense of timing in cornwell's writing, and the complete badassery of the protagonist.
I just read Adultery by Paulo Coelho. Listening to Post Pop Depression by Iggy Pop.

one of my best friends was disfellowshipped several years ago, and word quickly got around that it was because he's gay.
we lost touch after that because of the disfellowshipping, but since i'm out now, i just found him online and got back in touch with him.
it was a great conversation, but he said he returned to jehovah.
If a gay decides to go back, they will end up f*^ked, but not in a good way.

i am incredibly disturbed.
many of the jws i'm still friends with on facebook are incredibly excited that trump won the american presidential race, posting, "yay!
i'm so happy!
They are happy that their country is facing a Fascist crisis. They think it will jump start Armageddon.

how many of you think the cubs deserve a world series championship for the first time in 108 years!?.
jk.
Oh yeah baby!
Any other year I would have rooted for the Indians, I did against the Marlins. But not against my Cubbies!
What an amazing series, one for the ages! I had one hell of a time to see it live, I will share that in another post.
Thank you for the love Flip! I will share my Comcast shit storm in another post.
in memory of jimmy olson, i have provided a link to his story below.
many who now post here are new to the forum and i felt it was necessary to honor his memory.
although i never knew him, his brother was my roommate for a time at watchtower farms.
I knew Jimmy and the Olson family, they went to a congregation near me at the time.
