Did your parents make you tell people (at xmas time) that you got gifts throughout the year

by myusername in

i see people saying this online.

my parents made us tell people tha we got gifts throughout the year and that we probably got more presents than kids get on birthdays and christmas.

however, it was a complete lie.

Yes. That was the line. But they saved money to buy crap like bound copies of the watchtower and awake and didn't give presents.

CO admits from platform that "we were embarassed by 1975."

by watson in

said with a smirk/smile/grin.

this one is the most glib i've seen.. actually, several times "75" came up.

maybe they feel the more they bring it up and make light of it, the more of a non-issue it will become..

Due to that bollox, I grew up thinking that I would be dead by 21. More than fucking embarrasing - almost as bad as Jim Jones's cult massacre. Except the victims lived on.

i was either in the wrong congregation or too ugly in the 60's/70's - never even heard of sex. And that was in Brighton! Fuck - I've missed out :(

My Window cleaner is a JW!

i've had the same window cleaner for 2 years.

very cheap and does his job well.. the other week though i heard him whistling.... at first i thought my mind was playing tricks but no... he was whistling kingdom melodies!.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Effing window cleaners - it was a window cleaner that converted my parents over 50 years ago. My father had a great job, public school education and good prospects. They threw it all away to become JWs and lead a low income life of misery that destroyed their family and didn't see them in paradise as a payoff after Armageddon.

Jam - your story is a shocker. Hope things have worked out for you.

What do you do to keep fit??

just curious....i joined a gym..

xjw666

Training for my first marathon. I've run two half marathons this month and am building up speed and stamina. Seem to be offsetting weight loss by eating too much curry and drinking too much beer. Still, the curry helps reduce any inflammation and wards off colds. The beer provides my essential vitamin B6 requirements. Quite a healthy lifestyle!

Christian Right Activist Blasts Medal of Honor as 'Feminized,' Sparks Fury

'tough guy' talk like that reminds me of the macho crew cut military man in American Beauty who turned out to be a closet gay. Bryan Fischer's protesting too much perhaps. I see from his bio at http://action.afa.net/detail.aspx?id=2147486648 that he doesn't claim any combat experience.

I can't really seek professional help. Any self-help suggestions for depression?

by easyreader1970 in

jw
friends

i really don't have the time or the finances for a professional psychiatrist.

i know i am depressed and i know why.

the problem, as i have said before in one or two other threads, is that the solution won't really change my depression and may, in fact, make it worse.. so i am resigned to being depressed but would like to know if there are some coping techniques or other suggestions.

Depression is part of the package of growing up in JW, for me anyway. I see depression as anger turned inwards - externalise it via martial arts or competitive running. Works for me :)
