we have just gotten home from sunday-meeting, when my mom ask me if i believe in god and so on.
so i tell her, cause you adviced me to be honest.
and despite all my fears, she took it very calm, and then told my dad whos also taking it calm, and it doesnt seem like theyre hating me now or want to throw me out of the house.. the thing is.
hope you don't mind some of Dustin's comments. He's a pretty cool guy though. You just have to brush it off your shoulder and drive on. I'm pretty sure alternative points of view contradictory to ex-JW's are welcome here. But anyway, I welcome you.
I've been known to crack on a few suspected JW's on this board, but sometimes I get silly like 'dat.
following on from another crap week at work, i consolled myself with the fact that today was friday and looked forward to a long weekend beering it up, going to dinner tommorow night at a girlfriends, lazing about etc etc all good weekend stuff.......and then....... i couldn't find my wallet.. i've just about torn the house apart looking, retraced all my steps from when i last had it (i paid for some petrol up the texaco garage last night), searched underneath my car seats, underneath the sofa, all my pockets, cupboards, drawers, no stone unturned etc etc i've just given up now and cancelled all my cards, and put the 80 that was in it down to a lost cause.. i want to know 3 things...... 1. has one of you lot pinched it?.
2. what am i gonna do for beer money this weekend.
Backtracking always works for me. In my daily absentmindedness, I forget where my keys are at least 5 times a day. Most of the time when I retrace my steps, whatever I'm looking for shows up.
well if he was a jdub, he would have gotten baptized at 4, started pioneering right away because it's the first privelege u can receive when u get baptized... he'd be in bethel by the time he's 6. at age 8 he'd be an elder.

If Bush were a Jdub, he would not sign a declaration of war, but give free rein to other countries who want to kick our ass anyway, because he would command Americans not to "take up armaments".
He would have the flag taken down everywhere.
Homosexuals are screwed.
National holidays would be screwed because he would outlaw them and I'd be pissed because I'd have to go to school/work.
He'd put the UN in Congress (bc the WT is in bed with the UN anyway).
He'd give free room and board to the Gooberning Body in the White House.
First Lady Laura would be stuck in the kitchen with the twins because she'd have to fix all the meals and coffee while all the men in the Oval Office talk about who else to screw over.
He'd be shirking his Presidently duties to give more time to the "good news".
The State of the Nation and Inagural addresses would be about the "good news" as well.
He'd outlaw blood transfusions so hemophiliacs are really screwed.
He'd totally give Bill Bowen and his other SilentLamb cohorts a life sentence.
I can't think of anymore right now. I'm not a good American or anything (way way left wing/independent) but I know that if Bush were a Jdub, it wouldn't take a fortune teller to tell you that this country would completely go to hell.
i hate how the wt makes a member's family seem less important than their jw "family" by conditioning them to add the "fleshly" qualifier to "sister" or "brother" when talking about their siblings.
