how do i make a long story short?
i am fully aware that if anyone in my area were to read this that they will know who i am.
i was disfellowshipped on january 28th 2010 after an "interview" about an evening of bowling with friends and family back in november 2009. i was among 4 who were disfellowshipped and 6 who were publicly reproved.
I kept waiting for the really juicey stuff. I mean come on, a hot tub, lots of drinking, I thought fur sure a 'lil sumtin' a nasty happened. (elders thought that too, that's why they asked if that was all of the pictures on your facebook page.)
Welcome...I'm glad you are here.

greetings, egg eaters:.
it's about 3:30 a.m., my usual hour up and writing.
eggs and onions are on the range, even as we speak.. i'm thinking of one of my favorite actresses, margaret rutherford, and her husband, stringer davis, who had the custom of a midnight repast of bacon and eggs.. do you down cackleberries with relish?
yum..I forgot about deviled eggs.
The yellow part fell out of my sons deviled egg once...he yelled.."Oh No..the devil fell out of my egg."

some people say "hovah' "jehoovah", etc.
or they'll say instead of jehovah's witnesses, "hovies"....etc.. do you think that it's appropriate?.
I don't necessary see it as improper, as much as I see it as rude. I don't make fun of the name Jehovah to anyone. But I have said to my husband, lets get coffee somewhere else..... Tim Horton's is full of "jehovah's". Knowing that is not what they are called..... I would not say that to anyone else.
My daughter texted me the other day to say: "If you take Innsisfallen Rd, what out for the jehovah cones"
There is a KH on that road, and on meeting nights they block off one lane of a four lane street for extra parking. One KH went out of business..(or whatever you call it)..so they merged the two. So they don't have enough parking in their parking lot now. I don't know how they can legally put orange cones out and block one lane at least twice weekly for several hours.
anyway, I laughed at her text and knew exactly what she was talking about.

in my case it was my best freind in the cong who decided to encourage me to answer up at the wt by... refusing to talk to me afterwards if i hadn't answered up!
!.
I remember being told that I should consider myself fortunate, because back in bible times, I'd been stoned to death.

email exchange just a minute ago:.
him: "i just wanted to let you know that i never had any intention of causing any harm.
and i apologize for anything that seemed that way.".
So you have this person's first and last name? I'd be interested in finding out what kind of "mental health professional" he is. Does he have access to women/girls that won't have your ability to call him on his bs.
He didn't want to get to know YOU. He's a freak...glad you figured it out before you got to know him.

today while i was home for a quick lunch break i got a knock at the door.
i opened the door and was surprised to see two elderly jehovah's witnesses women.
i haven't been called on since i've been out for four years, so this was a bit of surprise.
All the dubs do now are what my non-JW brother calls "Guerrilla Calls".... drop a 'Tower or a tract....and run.
What's up with that anyway? Our last few visits were magazines or tracts falling on to the floor as I open the front door. And we would be here the entire time. Door bell works, the dog goes nuts when the screen door opens, but they are so quiet no one knew they were here. Weird

i have been reading some interesting information on terror management theory at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/terror_management_theory.
this explains how the terror of death leads to a belief in an afterlife and also affects how we live.
there is an "irresolvable paradox" created from the desire to preserve life and the realization of that impossibility because life is finite.
I had never thought about it before......I never thought I was good enough to make it into the paradise. I mean come on, I hated it. Even when I sucked it up and did the right things, pioneering, talks, studying.....it sucked, and Jehovah can read hearts so he knew what I was feeling. But if I didn't want to be beat, I did what I was told. ....... I wasn't afraid of dieing at Armegeddon, since the dead know nothing...it actually sounded like relief....and I knew it wouldn't be much longer., after all it is right around the corner.
I was afraid of my parents. I was afraid of being beat. whooped, whatever.....and I was afraid they would stop loving me.
I've been shunned for all of my adult life. With the exception of a few situations...(ie: phone calls I made to them) I still thought for years that Armegeddon was coming, and I was wondering what the problem was....I mean come on already, what's the hold up...(these thoughts were during one of my depressesd times)......and got on line and found this site. Everything changed. the depression magically lifed.
