Hey, if you have a sense of humour about it, so much the better. The leadership has f**ked with each of us so why not screw with them?

the brother asked for my september time!.
i haven't been to a kh since mid-september, and haven't heard from anyone since, and then he calls the other night.. i said, " you can record a 0".
i repeated myself.. and he said, "we haven't seen you at the meetings.".

i... well, i need to face this fear that someone will read my story and know who i am and harrass me.
there are enough distinctive things about my story that who i am is pretty easy to identify, if you know me.. so, here goes.. i was raised as a witness.
my dad was abusive.
I bid you welcome, In!
What you said about being a nerd who never connected with other witness kids really resonates with me. JW's claim to be loving and accepting of all but that simply isn't true. The are just as class conscious and stuck up as anyone, if not even more so. Growing up a JW definitely makes it harder to trust people for sure.
It pains me to hear about how screwed up you family life has been. Perhaps I'm lucky in that regard.
Please stick around and don't just lurk, participate! The board has been a little bit slow as of late.

i was reminded of something i wanted to post here for awhile.
wondering your thoughts.
my jw cousin, who is now an elder's wife and mother of three, once said this years ago.
I respect women but I'm won't be a doormat for them...

i've been watching my alcohol intake for dietary reasons.
i've been limiting my consumption to a small half glass of vodka, or a shot or two of bourbon.
alcohol just doesn't do well with the gains i want to make working out.
It`s not a Big Deal in Canada.. Just don`t get snockered and go back to work..
Apparently you haven't been keeping up with the news in BC, OUTLAW. People are scared s**tless of drinking in BC restaurants now. The new laws are a real buzz kill...
In short, drinking during lunch is not acceptable where I live. Happy hour is dead...

i changed my religion to hindu... (it was a jooookkkkeee).it should not have mattered seen as i dont have any nosey dubs left on my friends list.. i then get a phonecall tonight from a 'sister' in the congregation askin if it was true that i was a hindu?!!!
as i had it on my fb!!!
i asked who had told her this and she said she did not want to say, but i told her she should have got the person who had the question to ask me that rather than going to her!!!!.
I don't put much of anything there. I wouldn't trust FB even half as far as I could throw it...
