i went to get in my car the other day.
before i could start moving engine a jw pulled his car in behind mine then got out and walked up to my window.
he then said "you must be brother <biometrics>", i said "i'm <biometrics>" then looked at him as if to say "who are you?".
I am in the Witness protection Zone, I moved to another territory, my wife drives 30 miles to go to her KH,
They would NEVER bother to come and see me!!! Too Stinkin far out of their way with gas at $4 a gallon
But just in case I always will use Blondie's advise, supin always will "Come up...gotta run"
My advise, move to a gated community - LOVE it HERE in PARADISE...Fore!!!!
as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.
well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.
after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

that is awesome, what you have accomplish with 2 little ones is truley amazing, you will surely see the value in having a degree during the next many years.
Both of my children did not go to college because i did not "wake up in time" and once I did, I realized it was too late,
They attempted CC but baled because as I believe it was never a real goal for them - just an afterthought.
You did it! and you can make sure your children have a great future and also make sure they go on to Higher Education, too!
Hip Hip horray!

"what is an aha moment?
it's a moment of clarity, a defining moment where you gain real wisdom - wisdom you can use to change your life.".
(from a financial services company - http://www.ahamoment.com/what-is).
Couple of the things
1) OVerlapping Generation KWAP (Elmer Fudd speak) Stupid
2) Asking for $$$$ at Circuit Assembly when I found out the Rental was 1/5 of what they were stating was the "Shortfall" (that cost included FREE PArking) Absurd
3) All the Money in selling all of SPAIN BETHEL going to USA Coffers and then leaving the country and all the friends that built it with Sweat. Tears and $$$ got left holding the EMPTY bag. Disgracefull
4) not apologizing for the all Pedophilia and make the Settlement for the Silent lambs NOT at full disclosure (JEsus would have been ashamed of that situation). Embarrased
5) Finally reading Freddies Book in 2010, was finally pleased with what I read - Happy
I could go one,,,but they all add up to "gotta get out of here" pronto.
I hope my wife can see it too! Help me help her

my mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.
she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.
in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!
YOU NEED TO TELL THE BOYS FAMILY - TODAY!
last week a young elder giving the public talk made.
the statement that "some were led to believe that the.
end would come in 1975, but aren't we so thankfull.
I suppose you could go to the speaker and ask him to explain what he was talking about...
What were people misled into doing?
Who exactly misled them?
YEs I would ask that question, I remember getting idoits comeing to "visit" a few years ago, I just yearned for the moment to correct these high and mighty men who thought they were Hot sh%t in giving a PT at a KH near them. Just let him have it,
I heard the same crap at a Assembly day 3 years ago and all started to clap, and what happed to all the folks who lives were ruined, are they happy too?
I really think these characters will get their just rewards, makes me sick as I yanked in an Elders meeting because at 17 years of age in 1977 I wanted to go to college!
And all 3 of those "learned smartass ELDER men" 1 is dead, 2 is Df'd for violating his daughter, and the 3rd is in a Mental asylum because he tried to kill his family,
i am no longer one of jehovah's witnesses(well mentally that is)---however i am a christian...i recently started reading different translations from www.biblegateway.com...jesus is so different to how the jw's teach....and god...i mean, i still am learning and confused about certain things but i am in love with them.... it's obvious that the jw's are not an organization of god.i don't think god is working through an organization but through individuals...however i am going to speak to an elder tomorrow about my issues---all of them---and i'm going to tell him everything--what i've been reading,where i got it from---everything!!
i'm not hiding anything!
i have done no wrong....i just want to be a true christian and if they disfellowship me for seeking answers then this is not where i need to be.
Be Prepared....you are asking MERE MORTAL MEN for ANSWERS On God? Come on you need to be more reasonable in your expectations.
You have as much chance about getting the "True answers" about JFK's assisination from J Edgar Hoover.
Listen up and listen up good...
THE ANSWERS COME FROM WITHIN, No body has the Secret Recipe, it aint locked up in a cabinet to be shown or taken out for a viewing.
You are going to be saddened, dissappointed and hurt,. and Frankly my dear,,,,God dont give a damn (that's bad english on purpose)
Truth hurts, be prepared for many bandaids
my 2 cents I am type happy today

love endures all things, huh?
i think the boys at watchtower hq found a way around that rule.
they have learned how to destroy the natural affection of those doing the shunning and those being shunned.. .
Scotoma,
Good advice, short and sweet (I will use it too)
Love the ideas and the support you all are giving Irondork and me! (Similar things happing in the USA)
Keep it going ya'll!
DG
can someone post this in this thread please?
i don't know why the wife didn't get any jw calenders for 2012, but i was over at my dad's last night and looked through his for a few minutes.. in the upper right corner, it had a woman reading through a scroll, and i could swear it was referring to abraham and sarah.
now i'm no bible scholar, but i would find it pretty unusual for sarah to be reading through a scroll.
Me thinks they were coupons from the Sunday Papers
i am very surprised that a very pretty lady that is i/o psychology doctorate major, she would like to go out with me on date.
she knows that i do not have any college degree.
to be honest with you, i am pretty much intimidated by her intelligence.

"I figure that all the smart, beautiful women out there have to marry somebody, eventually. They can't go on enjoying life forever."
Billy...I love that Statement! it's a grand 2 Sentences of PURE TRUTH!
i noticed that the german edition of the study watchtower for today didn't include the phrase about the husband "hitting" the sister.
instead it just says that he became ferociously angry, which need not imply physical abuse.
i wonder if the german translator altered it off his own back or was instructed, and how other language editions compare.
I think that whey outlawed corporal punshiment in the schools (Spanking) the world went DOWNHILL fast, It's like when Happy Days ended up changing how we view fathers in the family - They are now looked as Bumbling idiots, no respect like we have had for Ward Cleaver! I miss you Beaver!
We should go back to spanking, this will put it all right in the eyes of world Children will grow up with more respect and not bump over a wheelchair lady like we saw in the video on TV NEWS last week.
This world has gone to heck in a handbasket, and we need more spankings,,,,repeat after me...
WE WANT MORE SPANKINGS!!!louder, I can't hear you all!
