i left town after the court case for a fresh start , it was 18 months before dubs knocked on my door , so i told them why i was not interested in their message , aswell as the watchtower payouts in may 2007 ,with gag orders attached , they seemed quite shocked by that but warned me to be carefull what information i read on the web !
i told them that in america they do not make up the news !
they seemed quite shocked about what happened to my child but said it would have ben an isolated case !
The other line they use is "Well they were never really a Jehovahs Witness to begin with because Jehovahs Witnesses would never do those things." So...total deniability.
Oh my God...I thought my mother was the ONLY person to repeatedly use this 'line' whenever a JW acted the FOOL and got caught up in something wrong! Go figure.
sorry about the false start.. .
this above phrase was recently said to me by a dub, when i told them that i didn't attend any more and that i felt much better for it.
" i asked " did i have so much agony with low self esteam, self hatred and no confidence while in a religon that is supposed to have gods blessing, and yet when i leave it all those problems dissapear?".
That statement (made by the JW) is sooo tyical - because it attempts to 'separate' JWs from everyone ELSE...as usual. IF you aren't a JW and if you aren't going to meetings, then you aren't 'good' or won't live a 'good' life?! UGH!
he should move over and allow room for michael vick.. did anyone see vick's touchdown pass against dallas in the playoff?.
awesome!.
a little something from vick's bio: .
I know...I know! I wish i could be HAPPY about that, but it's just sooooo disappointing, every year, to watch these TALENTED guys go DOWN like this. I mean, HOW do you lose 3 times to the Cowboys? 3 TIMES!!!
do they really have to build khs in 2 days?.
how safe are those khs?.
.
Let me say this: coming from RBC that was solely used for MOLD REMOVAL - 90% of the Khalls we gutted and remodeled were suffering from mold problems due to shotty work and cheap products. Mind you, those very Khalls were 'quick builds'!!! Every time we got the call to be at another site (and it was EVERY weekend) I would just shake my head because it was inevitable that in the history of the Khall, they would tell us that it was a quick build project....

OOOHHH! This hurts to say - but the Eagles are NOT a good team right now:
Macclin is too young and inexperienced....Vick was a 'surprise' asset, but NOWHERE near where he was/could be had he not screwed up messin with dogs and being arrogant....Westbrook is DONE - he cannot play at his previous level solely based off his AGE and his health....we NEVER should've gotten rid of B.Dawkins (I was at the game and the whole stadium went NUTS when he came running out)...the O-line is in desperate need of some HEALTH!!!!!!! Nobody on that line was 'healthy' all season, and the original PLAN of a powerhouse O-line never worked out.
2010 better be an OVERHAUL for my boys.

HEY! Wait a minute...I am a DIE-HARD Eagles fan, my very BEST friend plays FOR the team (so I have a vested interest), and so I get defensive when people try to 'dog' my birds!
But McNabb is a done deal! -hahahahaha. THAT I won't deny. Dude is a good player (got us to numerous NFC's) but is NOT a champion player and needs to hang it up. I'm tired of him and Andy...
Redskins want him??? Jason Campbell is a GOOD player - he just needs some 'coaching' and guidance...their offensive coaches are a revolving door.
my therapist and i are working on my 'emotionally' not being so closed-off...and of course the topic of relationships came up.
she asked me about the men who have been in my life, and i was going through the significant guys that i've dated.
either way, the conversation then turned to how the guy i'm with now is special in my life (and has been for years) and the therapist suggested that i read this book to understand what true 'soulmates' are - so i'm sharing the excerpt with you guys!
snowbird - HAHAHAHA! I don't BELIEVE in the JW's "society" anymore...

I think this explaination is really DEEP ...
this weekend at the circuit assembly, (i stayed home, thank goodness), i heard a nine year -old girl was baptized.
and she seems a bit mature for her age, but hardly mature enough,in my opinion, to make such a choice on her own.
it seems to be a trend in our circuit right now.
You are not allowed to vote, smoke, drink alchohol, marry, drive, or sign binding contracts till the age of 18-21 (well, driving at 16). But you can commit your life to a God and a religion and be held responsible for that act at the age of 9. Or 8. Or, like me at 10. Makes no sense. :)
changeling YOU nailed it!!!!! That is exactly what I have expressed to my own parents when they accuse me of not living up to my 'dedication'...HOW can I be held responsible for a dedication I made at 14? All I cared about was school, homework, computers (I was a geek), my braces, getting contacts, starting high school, and boys. I could marry, I couldn't buy or drink liquor, I couldn't buy a house or drive a car - BUT I was considered 'qualified' to DEDICATE my life to a religion and expected to stick to that no matter what??? HUH?????
i had a brother.
his name was jon.. jon was a sweet, super sensitive guy.
also, a very tortured soul.
This post made me BAWL.....I mean, it doesn't get anymore heartfelt then this!!!!
AllTimeJeff you honestly inspired ME to write my own parents a 'letter' telling them how much I love and care for them even though they choose to shun me and not be a part of my life. THANK YOU!
