why did you do it?
i have done it on several occasions.
.
I don't remember ever deleting anyone. I have blocked news feeds from a few preachy people, but then a few weeks later I looked at their wall, and they had calmed down and I unblock the feeds..because other than that one broken record, they were pretty interesting, and I've blocked the games (that don't play).

....... how much of your conversation is "exie" stuff?.
for me, i don't have many ex-jw friends, but those i do have are brilliant friends and we entertain our partners a lot with ex-talk.
the spouses find our history a bit weird but fascinating..
I've been to several apostafests over the years, and I was heard very little JW/xJW stuff. Mostly we talked about where we were now in life. Or simply enjoyed the moment in time just talking and laughing about memories we could all relate too.
The very little JW referance that did come up would be like a women putting a napkin on her head and offering to say prayer before a meal. Or maybe someone would sneeze and someone would say bless you and every one chuckle.
I never heard any deep doctrine discussions. Or maybe I wasn't included on those discussions.

no, not the movie.
but my daughters final prom as a high school senior.
although to a jw parent, the real thing could be just a scary as the horror flick.

gosh darn it!.
along with gol dang it, good luck and aw shoot!.
it gets a little ridiculous, doesn't it?.
I saw this recently on one of the threads that made me chuckle.... "Cheeses!" (instead of Jesus!). I like it.
I've heard my adult daughter say, "Cheese and Rice!!"..( instead of Jesus Christ)

clyde has a great answer.
he says, "no, i take my faith too seriously.
" he says that ends the conversation.
I say..Oh God, hell No!

when i was a teenager, twister was a popular game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/twister_(game).
we had a couple of elders who used to bang on and on about how bad it was in local needs talks.
they seemed convinced that if a group of young people were playing twister, it was bound to descend into a mass orgy.
We were never allowed a Twister, Chess was considered a war game. Ouija was demonic.
and dodge ball..well I just sucked at that. so I said I wasn't allowed to play.

this latest incident takes the biscuit.. ironically, by the end of the flight i would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell i was subjected to at thehands of your corporation.. look at this richard.

surprised me that he actually followed up on his word and called .
it will be strange after four yrs.
to have them in our house .my husband was not happy to hear it will be two brothers coming over, because he really does not want to feel we are being counseled .
Sweet!
It's so freeing to just be an adult and say what you think, and allow others to have their own thoughts...even if they are wrong you don't agree.
You did great.
