A few items of business
by Heartbreaker ini ordered both of franz books, and have received just by dumb luck the coc first, and will start reading it tonight.
my husband hates to read, and i could spend every waking moment doing so, so i have committed to reading the book aloud to him, and we will do so in the evenings for as long as it takes to go through the whole thing, and then start on the 2nd.
also, i've decided to start looking into getting my rn degree, i've always thought i'd be good at it, and it should follow me if i decide to move, nurses are needed everywhere.

2Pink, I think you should do it. I bet I'm older than you, and I know I have no children to juggle than you do, and I am almost positive I'm going back and doing it. I have to, our family will sink without it. Having said that, I'm excited about the prospect.
Do you have a specific field of interest?
Lets do it together! I'm sending you a PM

Snowbird, Black Sheep and Greenie...I wrote out this long email thanking and commenting to each of you, and it's just gone. Poof. Oh well, I'll recap, thanks for the support...are any of you in the medical/nursing field? I'm so freakin scared to just jump already.
As for the 607 thing, she prides herself on being a bible scholar, and since I'm termed the Jezebel Whore, I'm sure she is all about getting that written out to show her son how wrong he is to be with me, and he'll see the (ever increasing) light and get away from me, once she proves it all true.
DGP - thank you too for your link and your kind replies, on this and my other thread. I haven't gotten a chance to go over and reread on comment on things there, but did read and appreciate the loving replies. Indeed my children are overhugged, but what the heck. I'll throw another in there for ya.

I ordered both of Franz books, and have received just by dumb luck the CoC first, and will start reading it tonight.

I couldn't be more excited.
Also, I've decided to start looking into getting my RN degree, I've always thought I'd be good at it, and it should follow me if I decide to move, nurses are needed everywhere. Is that a crazy insane thing to take on? Just tell me I can do it. Thank you in advance.
My husband was talking to his mother this morning and he asked her about the 607 thing...said that it never made sense to him, and he knew that she prided herself on having it all down to (cough) a science, and she agreed to put it all to paper, logically and specifically so it would be easy to understand. I can not WAIT to see the result. Of course she and his whole entire family won't speak to me, because I'm the Jezebel Whore that took their son away from Jehovah, but I trust he will share it with me after she is finished with it. Any bets as to what she will say? Hopefully I can come to you good people here to refute it.

JWs just came to my door and didn't even knock
by hemp lover ini was working in the back room of my house, transcribing an interview with lara logan (she's fascinating), when my dogs started barking at the front door.
i ignored it for 30 seconds, because that's just what they do.
figured it was a cat or the mailman.

Hell I did that as a grown adult. I would always knock lightly, and leave quickly. Unless I was sure they weren't home, then I'd linger a bit ;)
Worst houses to take? Where they were outside working on the car or the lawn. I'd need to 'look for something in my bag' at the end of the drive so the other pair of witnesses would cross over me and take them. I hated trying to otherwise engage a busy person. It's all so wrong.

Not one single one of them. At all. I have been in this area for 35 years, and not one single person.

Did You Personally Know Any JWs That Were Sexually Molested By Other JWs?
by minimus ini knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.
it was not typical in my experience.
what about you???.

Yes, not only within my own family, but two of my best friends when growing up, and a handful of others that I heard of through the grapevine.

quite a debate has been going on in the media this week regarding carbon emissions and it has been suggested that we should either become vegetarians or at the very least drastically reduce our meat consumption.. lets face it .

Only if someone else were doing the cooking and meal planning. For far too long I've visualized the main course being some sort of flesh. Sort of gross when you think about it.

Epiphany! No Joy for a Reason
by White Dove ini just realized why possibly the society squashes any and all joyous things having to do with jw life and worship: joy in this system will bring satisfaction with this system and, therefore, no desperation for the new system.. everything is removed so we feel desperate for the new system.
just listen to the jws talk!
it's so depressing.

I agree White Dove, that is an epiphany. Makes sense how even now, out even if for a short time, I have a hard time seeing joy or retaining it in small things. We are told all our lives that this isn't it, just wait. Like riding a huge roller coaster with mediocre rises and falls, waiting for the big thrilling dip and coming back to the station realizing that it didn't exist....should have just enjoyed the dips and highs where you had em. Sad, isn't it?
