My Lovely Weekend....

by teenyuck in

sigh...it is finally over!

my mother-in-law just left.

she and my brother-in-law came for the weekend.

kaykay_mp

girl -- put your foot down. its your house too!!! im not trying to bitch you out, but if my MIL was like that, she would never come to my house unless she adjusted her attitude.

if there's one thing i can't stand, its being disrespected in my own house. just ask some of my closest associates. ive kicked many a person out of my apartment. yeah, im a bitch, but im a bitch that gets respect in her own home.

i bet you've worked too hard for everything that you have. and your MIL is going to use your home as an ashtray -- theres just no excuse for her.

What would you do differently?

by Tinkerbell4125 in

how would you have left the borg, if you had it to do over?

i would have threatened to sue those s.o.b's.

in fact i still think about it.

kaykay_mp

i would have run away from home a long time ago, like i originally planned to do when i was 7.

when my grandparents finally got baptized, it was like everything was taken away from me; my freedom, my innocence (b/c i was abused in every way imaginable), my friends, you name it.

i had somewhere to run; all i had to do was call my dad in michigan. but, naturally my grandparents wouldn't let him adopt me, since he wasn't in the "truth".

obviously, i dont think ill ever be going back to the BOrg.

chitlins

lately, i've been in a semi-serious/leaning toward serious dialog with my baby sis about dateline, the wt policy on pedophilia... several related things.

somehow, it's led me to thinking about chitlin's.

those that know, know what i'm talking about.

kaykay_mp

being from the great state of tennessee, and being of a black heritage, stereotypically i would like chitterlings.

and its true!! I LOVE CHITLINS!!!!!

i move back to the states in october and i cant wait!! the first thing that im going to ask my mother to do is go to kroger and buy a big red tub of chitlins....i miss the smell (even though it smells like shit.) then im going to take the left-overs, roll them in seasoned self-rising flour, and fry them.

oh, god. i think im going to drool.

wait a minute, i am drooling.

(for those of you dont know how to get rid of the smell if you are thinking about trying them....just boil a pot of vinegar and water for a while.)

HOW DO YOU ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM?

by bay64me in

question for ex jws.......what do you really enjoy doing, now that you have the freedom to do it?

kaykay_mp

not actually having to "fear" God. im not religious, but i have attended a church on my installation that is very non-denominational.

and im not trying to be religious now. i feel now that i shouldn't be afraid to ask God for any little thing, now matter how selfish i might think that it would be. but i always pray to leave it in his hands, because i feel that when matters come up that are really beyond my control, i keep it that way. and its blessed me richly, especially in my situation.

i enlisted in the army in 1999. very wrong by jw standards. i had a baby boy out of wedlock the very next year. i felt that jehovah was punishing me for leaving "the truth". but i took a really good look at the situation from before i got pregnant...i was drinking every night (the usual single soldiers' life), had many sexual partners, and cussed a blue streak. i can really say i deserved what i got, but i still felt blessed by having a child.

i didnt exactly learn from the first one. i didnt get drunk as much as i did before, but i became involved in a relationship with a very unscrupulous person, while i was dating someone else in a serious relationship. i didnt leave the other guy because i felt really sorry for him. (we met on the internet, and he originally wanted "a friend that would help him learn english"). i broke up the relationship in nov/dec. of last year. he was probably just looking to get a green card, and all of my neighbors kept telling me about his behavior while i was away at work, especially around my son.

well, i found out that i was pregnant on dec. 12, 2001. it was a complete shock to me. i was so angry at him, but more at myself for letting this happen. but i have finally learned my lesson.

its going to be really hard to raise 2 children on one income, but God has helped me in so many ways. just because i choose to "leave it in his hands." (btw, i am not getting child support from either of their fathers and i still get by.)

all because i choose to not exactly "fear" God, but come to him through Jesus. (i really hope that im not sounding too religious.)

Witnesses Are Great Folks

by FrankRaven in

jw

i know i'll get a lot of flack from this,but witnesses are good folks.and your average witness is concerned about you,non-witness.i've been there and i almost became one.my ex did become one.

it's not what they are taught by the watchtower,it's how one is taught.if one was what a witness was taught there wouldn't be any witnesses.it's how one is taught.most of the witnesses always told me,if you have any questions there's a book by the society that will answer your question.

(s)the watchtower is persistent.well so was i.the more books i read that the watchtower wrote,the more questions i had.and i,always,made sure i stayed on the topic.they never did.they always avoided my questions.and they are real good at that.

kaykay_mp

going back to what he said about studying with that "Willy" dude and the NWT of the Bible.

remember a company called "Stoops Mfg." that catered directly to witnesses? mainly bookbags, but especially Bibles. you could order those really expensive leather ones with your name engraved in it in gold. notice how it said "Holy Bible" on the front cover. but it was really a NWT.

just a thought.

rich jw's

by kaykay_mp in

i remember back to when i was part of the borg... .

i noticed how all the rich witnesses got away with everything.

i knew of a teen who was dating (and having sex with) this non-believer and nothing even happened to him.

i knew of a teen who was dating (and having sex with) this non-believer and nothing even happened to him. (his family owned a construction company)

there was another family (also owned a construction company) in the congregation who had two teens who joined the band, were in all the afterschool clubs, hung out with all their non-witness friends after school, etc... just all the basic things that the gb tells their "young ones" not to do.

but when i try to make at least a couple of friends, i get lectured about "bad associations spoil useful habits" and all that crap. i was being threatened to be sent to reform school all because some guy gave me a note.

eventually, i got tired of all the witness crap and got df anyway.

granted, my family wasn't rolling in the dough, but we weren't poor. we were like middle-middle-class.

i don't know if it was like this in any other congregation. maybe i'm wrong.

My JW mom's response to Dateline

by buffy in

i actually decided to call my mom and ask her if she saw dateline and what she though of it.

she said she even taped it.

she said, "that abuse must be a problem or jehovah wouldn't have let it be brought out like that.

kaykay_mp

amen...

pedophiles aren't just imperfect...they're truly fucked in the head...especially when they do it repeatedly. and would it really help if they "repented" and came back to the organization? probably not. look at all those catholic priests. and the gb and the elders are even more fucked in the head for letting them back into the organization and not calling the cops in the first place.

What's the one thing you miss about the WTS?

by Naeblis in

jw
friends

there are times when ilook back fondly on my days in the witnesses, especially when i think on the congregation get togethers we would have every once in awhile (not too often) people from our hall and sometimes others would show up (not too many) and good times were had by all.

this is how the schedule usually went.. 8pm: arrive at the community centre.

8:05pm: scope the room.

kaykay_mp

i miss...

counting the days till the circuit assembly/district convention, where i would see all the hot guys...and stare at them while talks were going on or cruise around the hotel and find them.

my grandmother being annoyed by me blowing my nose constantly/dozing off/passing notes at the assemblies. which was usually followed by a quick smack upside the head.

getting baptized at the dc at 15, then never getting my hair back the way it was (i was nappy).

seeing all the cute guys at the assemblies and then stealing away to the restroom (after waiting in the long line, and then airing out the booty-smell from the fat sister before me) to "flick my bean."

all the get togethers. and planning get togethers at the get togethers, then cancelling them because they just "happened to fall on halloween/christmas/thanksgiving" whatever.

having a big elaborate dinner on thanksgiving/going to a relative's house for thanksgiving even though, obviously, we weren't supposed to celebrate it. what a bunch of hypochrites we were!

my brother acting like a damned heathen at the meetings and both of us would get slapped.

trying to hold back the laughter if someone wrote you a funny note during one of the meetings. oh, and then getting slapped.

going against my family's wishes and getting that b-day present anyway from my dad.

my brother repeatedly getting in trouble for looking at nudie mags and porno flicks, getting counseled, and then doing it all over again.

after turning 18, my brother asking me to go out and get nudie mags and porno flicks.

also upon turning 18, running off with my current bf on my b-day to spend a sex-filled weekend in chattanooga (?), coming back to face elders/parents, getting asked about said weekend, getting called a "whore" and an "unrepentant fornicator" and getting df'd. best day in my adolescence.

im pretty sure i can think of more, but i'll add them later.
