Whatever that woman meant...I bet she is really regretting making that comment. You know how you hear yourself say things later and it makes you shudder??
I bet she wishes she could unring THAT bell!
one of my "so called" closest sister friend in the congregation, said to me when we once had lunch that "if i was a man, i would want to have an affair with you"!!!
i just went numb...what a crazy thing to say.
i think she revealed her sick deep thoughts.

i have been able to tell my kids that since we are jw's we don't do cristmas.. to help the kid, we are giving presents every other week until the seasons over, to make them feel good about themselves.. the other day, she starts humming "jingle bell rock".
i told the kid not to do it, since we jws don't do cristmas.. the response was "the songs not about cristmas, but about jingling and rocking".. what should i do really?.
i'm trying to instill things like: "as jws we dont do this and that".
When I was still in in 86...and single..I was living with an elder, the PO in fact, and his wife...and I had a George Michael tape. On that tape was the song "Last Christmas"...and do you know I was missing Christmas so bad, that I played that damn song over and over again because it was NOT a Christmas Album and it was just "thrown in there" with other songs??
Also...the Messiah was not meant to be a Christmas thing either, but you pretty much dont hear it unless it is Christmas time.
Your poor baby girl. Its such a beautiful time of year. I feel for her and for your dilemma. Dont correct her. Just let her sing. Its only a couple more weeks.
he was trying to sell obama's seat plus a bunch of other shakedown schemes using his union contacts and control of state funding.
When Joe Biden said this president would be tested...perhaps he was referring to the terrorists who ALREADY RESIDE in this country...within our OWN government.
as a complete christmas newbie, i'm looking for advice on the selection, decorating, care for, and disposal of a christmas tree.
i plan on having the first one in my life this year.
i want to buy a real tree (for the scent, and the authenticity of it).
Aw....Merry First Christmas Tree to you honey! Have you ever watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" ? Amazon.com: A Charlie Brown Christmas: Ann Altieri, Chris Doran, Sally Dryer, Bill Melendez, Karen Mendelson, Geoffrey Ornste...
If you haven't its well worth watching. Then you will know that no matter what tree you choose, no matter how you decorate it, no matter if the needles fall off or not...it will always be very special to you. Take pics too!
As for cutting trees down, there are farms for Christmas Trees these days...they are specifically grown for that purpose, like CORN...so people as a rule are not going out and deforesting the planet for them. :)
I have a 7-foot pre-lit with fiber optics...artificial tree that I got at Sams Club. I have had it for many years and it always looks gorgeous. It collapses like an umbrella when Im done and is stored easily.
Also, I like to get wired ribbon, which you can get just about anywhere in any colors you are looking for, and wind it around the tree. It makes it look old fashioned.
according to http://krismas.org/, krismas is different from christmas in that it takes the celebrating of jesus birth out of the equation.
celebrating krismas "is about giving gifts, especially those from the heart; it is about the magic of childhood; it is about peace on earth; and it is about goodwill towards humankind.
it is about the universal truths of goodness that surround this time of year.".
The key here is if ANYBODY else does it...they wont. They have to have exclusivity. As soon as a non-JW does something it becomes a worldly (read Satanic) celebration.
The only people more boring and lifeless than JWs are the dead.

A LOT gay. I realllly dont care if a person is gay, I have lots of gay friends. But all this deceit and then coming off all pious to you...what a frickin hypocrite!
i received the following emails, one yesterday and the other today and thought you'll like to see an example of the positive and the negative messages i regularly receive through webmaster at my website, watchtower documents, llc, www.watchtowerdocuments.com.. .
here's the negative message:.
"i must say that after reading your biography, i am shocked.
I would tell her...
You are right to be afraid...be very VERY afraid! And then go and burn every single piece of literature you ever got from the Watchtower Organization because you just dont KNOW which things I wrote, or touched or helped with now DO you? And I was very careful to place DEMONS in each and every one of them and those demons are now in your HOUSE!!
So burn them...and while they are burning run SEVEN TIMES around the fire and your home playing a trumpet and yelling Jehovah Jehovah Jehovah as you go!
No.....you dont want to end up like me. Free, happy, sleeping in on the weekends, WITHOUT fear. Yep...lifes a beetch.
Oh my god Dan!!! what happened????
how terrible..geeeeez....
everywhere i go latley we meet damn witnesses!
the cinema watching quantum of solice full of witnesses...mcdonalds having a coffee...witnesses!
and the "love bombing" starts.
My guess is she wont be able to stand it either and this resurgance of interest will be short lived. Wait for it....
.....in amount, i believe.
i think there are more former elders and servants than there are current.
if you look in a hall, it's not uncommon to see 5 ex elders just going to the meetings, doing whatever little they can do.
Most of the people in my HALL were tired of "being used" as PUPPETS and SALESMEN for the Publishing Cult in Crooklyn. The Elders that were still Elders looked like hollow shells...serving the many half heartedly and deserting their own families for the "privilege" of doing so.
