i find all the different aliases people use on here to be pretty entertaining.. what does your name mean to you?
why did you choose it?.
i assume teenyuck, for example = tina spoke by a young child.

my sister just got a visit from the elders.
this was the first visit in 10 years.
an inactive friend told me they are supposed to visit every year.
When I was a JW it was the policy to visit once a year to the DF'd in the territory. I can say for myself I have been gone 7 years and have never had an elder visit me. I have always wondered how many others that are DF'd get visited.

well i went to the assembly yesterday, to see what bullshit they'd come up with this year to be upbuilt and i certainly won't go next year wasn't disappointed!
did you know that there are (gasp!
) apostates on the internet??!!
Mary, what a great sense of humor you have. You are a very creative writer!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I am still laughing!!!!

i have been reading the threads for about a year now and thought its time to post my story.
i cant remember much up until i was ten except the usual no birthdays, no worldly friends or bad associates.
then it was a series of arguments of why i didnt what to go to church.
Welcome Teela!!!!!! I love your attitude... Anyone at 10 who could already see through the cult is an exceptional individual!!!!!!! Hope we all read more from you.

.
well i have a cover.
it can be changed if we want something different but here is a sample.
I think it looks wonderful!!!! Can't wait to buy it. What a kind gesture on your part, to put so much time and energy for the benefit of others.

we changed the wedding from saturday in order to give the newlyweds a chance to spend the weekend relaxing and getting settled as an official couple.
also, by having it friday night there is a chance, a possibility, that big tex will be able to get the night off so he can give the bride away (*sniffle*).
and there is also a chance, a possibility, that our beloved district overbeer will perform the wedding.
Congradulations to the both of you!!!!!!! I didn't even know they knew each other. Good Luck and best wishes!!!! Have fun together.

...always selected for those nauseating parts in the service meeting.
you know, the theocratic family's encouraging service experiences?
the theocratic family's example of a well-conducted family study?
Guilty as charged. It sure was the talk..actually I think it still is.. when I walked out one day with my three kids and divorced their PO annointed father and never looked back. They really hate that I work for another "religious agency" and I am in the paper representing "Babylon the Great" all the time. LOL

this one is my biggest pet peeves.. growing up in the borg, i had a hard time finding any job, let alone a decent paying one.. i had to quit many jobs because my parents said "i was missing out to many meetings and field service.".
but how come the elders who worked at ford, chysler, gm, or any big factories, that worked shift work, and missed meetings every three weeks consistently for decades, and that was okay.
the response i would get was, "well they have a family to raise and look after.
Since I am a Director of Emergency Services for the Salvation Army you can bet your bippy they would make me quit. Never happen!!! The Salvation Army not only talks the talk but walks the walk.

They never lived to see the new system!!!!!!
