Dang this forum. Can't use a Mac with it. Let me try that again. Using IE on a PC this time. Hope it works. If not, I give up. :-)

Alan's around. He's been working a lot of overtime for the past few months. Plus, he's also gotten to the point in his life where he's not as obsessed with JW things as he used to be. Personally, I'm not complaining!

I have to address Wasanelder Once's comment about people being aware of what they're getting into when they get baptized (even a 13-year-old child, which is nonsense). My husband once asked his mother--a lifetime JW whose parents were also dubs and who is married to an elder--what she would do if someone she was studying with asked "difficult" questions. Her reply was that she would try to avoid dealing with those questions until after they were baptized. I was a third-generation JW, and my father was an elder. But when I was baptized at age 14, I didn't really have a clue about what was involved and what Nazis the elders were (my father wasn't that type). Of course, I didn't really have much choice but to get baptized. And, being the nice submission female I'd been taught to be, I never would have thought of rebelling back then. Mild control is a difficult thing to fight, especially when you're a child.

Has the "House" TV show had its run? (possible spoiler)
by AlmostAtheist inguys, i love the tv show "house".
hugh laurie is perfect in the role, great supporting actors, deep character development.
the plotlines are a little formulaic, but all the dialog and character interaction makes it ok. .

I still like House a lot, if for no other reason than watching Hugh Laurie. The show I've stopped watching is Nip/Tuck. I really liked season one. Season two was so so. Now it's just awful, IMHO. I can't stand to watch five minutes of it. I have to say one show I never get tired of is Monk. Tony Shaloub is absolutely fabulous and I love Ted Levine.

The last 10 years I was a Witness I just couldn't go in service anymore. I couldn't preach something I didn't believe myself. But it took those 10 years for me to extricate myself from the dubs and my JW husband. In the meantime, I turned in five hours every month. I wanted to keep them off my back. I'm sure they knew I wasn't really getting the hours in. We had the book study in our house, for Christ's sake, and I never, ever went to the meeting for service, which was being held in my basement on Saturday mornings. Instead, I often watched people's young children while they went out. No one ever questioned me. I think they were just happy not to have to deal with it. The lie worked for all of us.

fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
by reneeisorym ini remember when i was in the dubs, there were tons of sisters all with the same set of mild depression and fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrom symptoms.
i wonder if this was related to the hell jws put you through or if it was just something one woman had to have because the other did.
i haven't heard of hardly anyone having it outside of the dubs but in the congregation about 75% of the women had it!

The last 10 years I was a dub I often faked illness to get out of meetings and service (but I was OK when it was time to do anything else--no one caught on to that). Fast forward 20 years. About five years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I started having a lot of pain; they discovered that I had an extremely high antinuclear antibody count and they ruled out everything else (rhematoid arthritis, lupis, etc.). I'm still not so sure about the diagnosis, although I do have defnite flare-ups and my entire body is one giant tender point. I think CFS and FM can be bucket diagnoses, so I'm still skeptical, even though my doctors swear up and down that's what I have.

My mom buys a lot of her medications from Canada Drugs. She's been doing it for years. They're the very same drugs sold in the US, from the same manufacturers, dispensed by licensed pharmacists, but they're a heck of a lot cheaper.

OK, this is going to date me (date my parents, actually), but does anyone know who Nelson Eddy was? He was a huge screen idol in the 30s (http://www.nelsoneddy.com), along with his singing partner, Jeanette McDonald. My parents were big fans. We have a tape, which Alan's parents gave us, of Nelson Eddy singing Kingdom Melodies. It's definitely him (his voice is easily recognizable), and since he studied with the Witnesses at one time, it's not a surprise (my mom lived in LA at the time and knew which congregation he briefly attended). On the other side of the tape is our hero Freddie Franz singing Kingdom Melodies. The man apparently thought he had quite the voice (what an egomaniac!), but my only reaction when I first heard it was a huge shudder. Yuck.
