years of extreme pain, hardship & sickening lonliness!

ALL JW's to be at the meeting this week...
by Newly Enlightened in.
we asked this person if it could be aqbout the terminology change and they said that was already read last week...... we remember the last time they did this.
got everyone all excited thinking the big "a" was coming and all it was about, was the literature would now be donated instead of charging for it.. .

Over 7yrs as a JW and I just found out I'm not supposed to buy Girl Scout Cookies?
by Maat13 ini'm still in the matrix(the truth), but 'morpheus' and his team are valiantly working on a way to get me out.
in the meantime, everyday i am discovering so much about being a jw i never knew, like don't buy girl scout cookies, that i keep asking myself "what have i got myself into".. maat.
really lame for a first post, but i figure i should start some where.

Maat13 Well first of all welcome here & I like the vanilla cookies!
Looks like you are a Newbie ....we love newbies ...so pull up a chair
and make yourself comfortable ......then hang-on, you are in for a
roller coaster ride. The TATT can be a shock.... I mean ...who ever
thought they were being lied to! Well you are and were!

Look forward to hearing your story, wishing you freedom from all
those lies!

Hi AlanF,
I remember reading that Rutherford was quoting Kipling when he
made the remark about women being a "bag of bones, and a hank
of hair"....He probably thought he was so cultured, quoting
Kipling like that.Somebody should have given Rutherford a severe tongue lashing, for
speaking so disrespectfully of women. It appears that no one
around Rutherford had the nerve to do so. (except for Salter, and
Moyle, both of which got the boot from Brooklyn)Well, I decided to look up the quote, first what "The Judge" said:
"A woman is nothing more than "a hank of hair and a bag of bones."
-- Speech given at a 1941 St. Louis, MO convention discouraging
