the "One Towel Rule"
Laughing Out Loud, Smiley Face!
I am not sure we had this in the UK. Although I heard something about it in other countries.
mrs punk and i no longer discuss the jw business posing as religion.. all i get is a hand thrust into my face and a shout of: 'if you can't be positive don't say anything!!'.
i explain i am not trying to be 'negitive' but trying to be informative, factual and honest.
this is because mrs punk would ask: 'why don't you go to meetings anymore?'.

Nice to hear your input folks.
As far as pretending to be 'confused' about stuff, Mrs Punk simply says: 'Well, speak to the elders then!'
Me: 'I was an elder, they'd only refer to the CDrom!'
Mrs: 'How do you know unless you ask?'
Me: 'I don't need to ask. I know the answer and they won't know any different to me. They'll likely be suspicious and try to get me on an 'apostacy' charge!'
Mrs: 'Then write to the "questions from readers" then!'
Me: 'Sure. They'll write back to the congregation elders that I've been asking and the whole "apostacy" thing will come up. In any case, everyone knows the "Q's from readers" are made up by the writing comittee!'
Mrs: Inaudiable due to shouting and pushing of handf at my face....................................
Sadly, Mrs Punk has this weird idea that the elders are somehow endowed with mystical power.
She didn't accord me the same honour when I was an elder.she just nagged me! Now she can't!!
reading a thread from just a few months ago, made me realise that a lot of people who used to be regular contributors here no longer do so.. i know that people have always moved on, as the anger and hurt get less, as the wt mind-set totally disappears, we feel the need to come here less and less, but because of the intelligence, insight, wit and wisdom of these people, the board is somewhat impoverished each time one of these moves on.. this is a plea to all who post now, and some who still read but don't post, please do not leave us entirely, the contributions on here are literally life-saving for many.
it is easy to get dangerously suicidal when the whole wt pack of cards falls down for you.. please do not become a stranger to us !.
Hey! Cheer up. I'm fairly new!
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's Punky!!

I start to explain then the hand flies into my face.
I have said not to ask me questions if she won't listen to my explanations.
I once asked: 'Why did you do the talk to the hand thing?'
Her reply: 'I don't know!'
..........sounds like mind control to me! Any road up......
A question!
Is there anything I can say that isn't negititve but yet doesn't give the impression I'll ever go back?
prayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!
seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?
what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?
Not that I know of.
If I did it wasn't in a way that was so obvious I could say : 'YES!'
I am more convinced that I'm on God's 'Nuicance Call' list if anything.

Stuffed if I know.............................
feeling a bit silly tonight, so i thought i'd try my hand at some limericks.
feel free to add some more:.
two witnesses just newly wed. tried to get friskie in bed.
There was an elder called Guido
Who looked quite dashing in 'speedo's'
The reason no one would brooch
As they wanted no reproach
because he was an unrepentant.........scum of the earth
