Who does this???????
Maybe someday the elder on my JC who gave my wife that reclining chair will do this. He did say I wasn't allowed to sit in it...

so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

Regular sex? That's not wild or crazy at all...
Well, there was a short time where it was more than regular, probably more interesting during pregnancy than any other time, to be honest, but I could probably chart it out.
Just before marriage & judicial committee: Regular
After judicial committee: Once a month for several months
After separation and reuniting, then pregnancy: Regular
After childbirth, until present (11 months, 1 week): Non-existent, save one painful attempt 2 months ago (Bane quote: "It would be extremely painful. For you.")
But I'll be derailing this thread and ending up redefining what being a doormat is all about if I keep discussing it. But it's safe to say that things never really got all that wild. I mean, I guess if that first woman had gotten pulled over for drinking and driving, it might've gotten crazy, but otherwise, nothing more of the wild 'n crazy nature to speak of there.

I couldn't function normally without regular sex. Things settled down after that? Are you sure you did it right? lol
Well, mainly things settled down by necessity. I married the second person I had sex with, as I felt guilty and still wasn't really ready to be going down that road, and then the sex gradually started not being had after the whole judicial committee thing, until...it's starting to look like it may never happen again.
So I'm guessing that means I didn't do it right...

after leaving the jehovah's witnesses, i started getting in to politics.
i naturally found myself going republican and voted a long those lines.
however, with my more pagan nature and being pretty much against christianity.
I actually doubt a Republican will be President again, and feel sorry for any man or woman who runs on that ticket.
Romney got 40 million in the popular vote. I guarantee there's someone with enough charisma to do better than that who will show up sooner or later. It's just the law of averages here. And people are frustrated with the current situation; it's just that Romney didn't do a good enough job of convincing enough of the right people that he had a better idea. He kept saying stupid things that buried his credibility, so that didn't help, either. A Republican candidate who's more careful and more charismatic will have no problem winning in 2016.

Wow! That was my 3000TH POST!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Three thousand posts!
I truly must be zealous
Teaching lies against Jehovah God!
May we deceive
All men to become selfish
And to stare at women who are hot!

For me, yeah. Still haven't had a beer yet, but I tried the sex thing. Things settled down after that, and growing different kinds of beards and watching R-rated movies is about as wild as I get nowadays. I just wasn't meant to 'go wild', really. It's just not in me, so far, at least. There was only so much I would be willing to do without being terrified anyway.

Wow. I know I'd be pretty mad if they interrupted my 'Futurama' viewing, too. Was it a new episode? I need to catch up, last one I saw was that 'Yo Leela Leela' episode.
They did the 'pop-in' on me, when was that, September of '11? Guess they didn't need to last year since they popped in on me as I was picking up the family in front of the KH. They're nothing if not annoyingly repetitive. Just shrug it off. Tell them to bite your shiny apostate a--!

did anyone watch the nbc program "rock center" last night?
it dealt with scientology defectors and the stories, (shunning, tax-exempte etc) sounded very much like the watchtower/jehovah witnesses!.
i sat with my family...and there was dead silence throughout the report.
Btw remember the Dateline segment almost ten years ago, I have a feeling we're the only ones that get excited about stuff like that.
Speaking as someone who was a JW almost ten years ago, let me tell you, that Dateline segment rattled me to the core. It kind of added further to my realization that probably if I delved into researching things, I'd find out it wasn't true and get in trouble with my mom. I know I was plenty scared to go out in the recruitment work after that one aired. It took several more years before I left, but even back then, I did visit the Silent Lambs website. So it did have an effect. Maybe not a Borg-busting effect, but it was still felt.

sometimes when you are in the borg, you miss the obvious.
i recall a sheperding call around sept. 2001. i was a brand-new m.s.
and went with an older elder.
Talk about taking advantage of the flock!
The 'JW discount' is always assumed for some reason. Far be it from you to pay the same price for a service as everyone else does.
