John Doe: I didn't know that squirrels eat bacon, especially blind squirrels.
I've heard: Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while.

Post 12602 of 12604 Simple, if you have a two level house, you have two vacuums, three level house, three vacuums, saves dragging one up and down and back again. When you have back and leg problems (of which I have both), the last thing you want to do is constantly drag things up and down stairs. | Cool jamie. But, why so many vacuums? |
I use a hoover bagless I bought at Kmart two years ago for less than $100. It worked great on Rottweiler hair, which she is always shedding. I would highly reccomend.
i just had an interesting dinner with my parents which ended with them giving me money .
given (and yes, i know these are faulty assumptions):.
1. the jw religion is "the truth".
To answer your question, YES. But with the new system, paradise, perfection, all the lies to keep the dubs wasting their lives, will never happen. All LIES, LIES, LIES. But watch out, the big A is just around the corner.
i was suspossed to go to the meeting today, gotta to keep up the pretense in order to facillitate my fade.
instead i had nice lie in, i visited my non-witness dad, and then met up with my first aspostate from this site mr. majestic.. i didn't want to go to the meeting because meetings make me angry, i can now see the techniques used to control the congregation by fear.
i can't stand the thought that so many good people are being fed a banquet of lies and deception.. i could so easily never attend again..
I also just stopped going to meetings. No calls, visits, nothing. As others have said, it depends alot on your cong. Most everyone in my former hall knew that our elders would do nothing unless someone hounded them relentlessly. They were very lazy when it came to anything more than meeting prep/attendance, field circus. As I said in another post, they were probably happy I was gone. I tried to be as much as a pain in their ass as I could.
Best of luck in whatever way you decide to rid yourself of this cult.
seinfeld fans - remember the episode where george is so desperate to get fired by the yankees that he does all these things to defy the boss and still keeps his job?.
well, i have been going through the same thing at the kh.
i havent been to a thursday meeting in weeks, i am getting like 2 hours of field circus a month (just mailing it in while my fade progresses) i dont comment, most people know that i would rather not be there, etc...... so i go last night since it is the co visit, and my wife really wanted me to come.
...if they're single, they're probably chronic masturbaters
You got to keep your pimp hand strong, can't let it slack.
called to let me know that she had it out with a jw relative about her nasty attitude.
my dear auntie was so worked up that she said to the jw, "not one jw i've ever known is happy!".
it's not as funny in written form as it was to hear her exclaiming this over the phone.
Which relative? Last time I heard your mother was not talking to her, but there are so many more to choose to be angry at.
putting this out there.....going back 12months ago i was completely different to how i am now.
i am still loyal to jah and dont go against the scriptures, but even though ive recently returned to pioneering (only aux pio at present) i see im a little more laid back.. i think this has come through having to endure hell and back without any help, except jehovah, which im not complaining, im so glad his been there for me, for us both.
but i really believe that due to things that have badly and wrongly been allowed to take place etc its moulded me a little different to how i was.
Wow, six pages of witnessing. I bet she can count six hours of field service, one hour a page. Calculating RV's will take a little more time, so now up to seven hours of field service. She can get her quota easily with all of you posters encouraging her/him to keep posting rediculous, stupid little comments that doesn't do anyone any good.
i realize i'm a bit quiet here, and most if not all won't remember my story, so here is a brief synopsis.
i recently decided that i'd rather pursue life rather than a future life promised but not realized.
i was fortunate enough that my husband agreed in that he didn't want any man telling him what he had to do, or how to live, and so left with me.
One chapter of your life is over, a bad chapter to be left behind. A new chapter is ahead, and you can make it as happy a chapter as you dare. Literally the world is at your family's feet. Go as far as YOU want, there is no way for them to control you, to shame you, to harass you; unless you give them the chance.
Find out about eachother, past dreams, past hobbies or interests that you always wanted to explore but never had the time because of service, meetings, conventions, ect... or just learn to relax and not think of where you should be and what you should be doing. It is your time, your life, do with it what YOU wish for the first time. IT WILL BE A BLAST! You will learn things about yourself and your husband and children that you never knew. Things that they were never capable of when in a mind controlling cult.
That was my experience anyway. I do what I want, even do charity work at times and go on motorcycle drives for at risk children, kids in hospitals, and any fund my girl friend finds interesting. It is so wonderful to be able to spend YOUR time how you want. You can take a vacation and not have to spend three days of it being brain washed at a convention. We went to Las Vegas for a week, and to Myrtle Beach for a week, and know what? Never saw a kingdum hall the whole time.
Sorry if I praddled away, but you can find yourself like a kid in a candy shop, enjoy! Don't waste your time worring about little things anymore. BE YOU! I wish you all the best, and keep us updated.
