That sounds good, but I havent used my oven in months . It is too hot , so I cook on top of the stove for short times, or use the crock pot.
Down here in Louisiana we like Cajun fried turkeys,,,,,,,,,,ummm umm good.

Again, the Best Turkey Ever.
by JamesThomas inlike everyone this time of year when the weather is getting warm, thoughts turn to turkey.. i buy a small turkey around twelve pounds and do a high-heat chef marc turkey.
but before i do that, i brine it over night in salt water, onions and herbs.. it's to die for.. ok, the kitchen gets unbearably hot for a while, but then you have all this wonderful moist turkey to make cold sandwiches with.
try it, and you will never cook a turkey the old way again.. j

I admire those who take a stand like you are Junction Guy.
Even if only a few , probably younger ones who surf the net and are curious, just take a look into their JW beliefs.
3 yrs ago I was on a JW forum, and I hated "apostates". I did however speak to a few of the d/f ones , known apostates who would come on the board and I wanted to know why they so passionately hated the JW religion. It put doubt in my mind about alot of things. That was the seed that was planted, further helped by my hubby , who dug deep in the internet ,, namely Freeminds.
I think it is a great idea what Simple Sally said, put a question out there ,, something to make them think. Put a web addy of your choice, easy to remember while walking by fast ya know.
Of course they may not right away go to the site, and they may even snub you for it, but who knows one day, they just might try and see for themselves what all the buzz is.
Good luck and I hope more JW lives are saved and they have the chance to be free and happy.

The Right To Judge Others
by FairMind inyesterday our visiting elder-public speaker, cautioned against judging others.
he made allowance though for elders to judge or analyze the non-elders in the congregation.
i have always felt that distinctions based on position in the congregation are wrong.

You are so right Ian. I remember the scripture talking about..." trying to remove the straw from your brother's eye, while you have a rafter in yours", something like that.
When it comes to sin, we all sin , but JW's want to get to the nitty gritty and see who's sin is worse than theirs, guess it makes them feel better. At the KH you are judged by your clothing, your field service time, if you underlined your magazine with an ink pen, or went all out with a yellow highlighter and post notes. No wonder it was so exhausting.

Elder Criticizes Going To Get Together If A Worldly Person Is There!
by minimus inmy mom told me that an elder said in his public talk on sunday that we need to stay separate from the "world".
evidently, the buzz is that there was a part being given by an unbelieving husband that has been recently attending meetings with his wife.
the issue was not that this man invited most of the congregation and they went (including the elder and his family) but that one fellow unbelieving husband who is being studied with did not get invited because he was "worldly and still smokes".

oh puke!
There was an elder's wife that was a pioneer and she would run all over town, taking this "bible student" anywhere she needed to go, doctors, store, etc. This woman was nasty, and a known prositute on crack. Most everyone knew she was just using this pioneer sister to get favors, a ride and money as needed from her. Getting that time preaching, while doing errands was a sweet little deal she had going on there. This woman admitted to me after I left the borg, that she did in fact just study with the pioneer because she did things for her , while still attending her own church.
It was such crap because there were ones in the congregation who would not associated with ones who missed too many meetings. But it was ok for them to spend so much time with "bible students" as long as they were preaching.
This same pioneer sister had the nerve to question my little boy about his association with HIS bible student who was his age. There were not supposed to be out playing ball together , just studying only. Don't worry I told her she needed to mind her own business, and let me decide what was best for my kid.
ERRRRRRR!!

When my neice was little she used to call her vagina , a "china".
I just never liked the word vagina anyway, but I taught my daughter what the correct terms for parts of her body were . To this day, she is 12, we still call it a boo boo, or just privates. Maybe that's a southern thang, I don't know.

Terry that was very well said.
I was an elder's daughter, and I was as close to perfect as I could have been,,,,,until I turned 17. I lead a double life, but I felt so much guilt. I avoided field service as much as possible because I didnt want to witness to my school friends. There were so many dark days,,,,going to school was a relief. On graduation day, I cried, because my dad would have me working in our office ( right behind our home) and I was to pioneer. I wanted to die.My home life was full of hyposcrisy. I guess I learned well how to lead a double life.
The young ones who are living double lives are probably doing what I did , just trying to survive the insanity. I truly feel sorry for them.

Jez I love that poem. That is how I feel about my Father, I just don't understand how he has treated me over the years.
He called me out of the blue last December, after 3 years of not speaking at all. I never returned his call, because I have put alot , not all, of the tears away and I felt more at peace. Letting him back in my life after so much , is more than I was able to handle at the time and I am not sure if I am willing to open old wounds right now.

Were/Are you afraid to read the Watchtower Publications?
by LyinEyes ini have to confess that i was a bit afraid to even touch any new jw publications for so long.
i know it sounds so silly but i was afraid if i read something in them, i might get brainwashed again.
it was hard for me to admit that i was so brainwashed as one of jw's.

Am I totally deprogrammed? I think so, but you know it takes some of us alot of soul searching to totally let fear go. I think alot of it for me is the whole fear factor. I still have a hard time sometimes , really admitting that I was an abused child, but if I heard someone eles tell their childhood stories I would know in a second that they were abused. I was raised with fear , taught to fear, and lived in fear all of those very early years. Even when I grew, up married and moved on, I was still afraid. Years and years of programming were so deeply embedded in my very being that it has taken some time to make the progress that I have.
I am on the verge of starting to study again, and dig deeper in regards to the false teachings I was taught. When I left, I did a overview of so many things from the UN, to blood transfusions, the coverups etc, and that was enough to make me know it was wrong. Now I want to dig more and I finally feel that I am ready.
The first two years after leaving the borg, I took the time for me, just to enjoy living and finding myself. Now I feel I am ready for my next steps in my recovery.
I think I made great progress with my fear of the WT magazines the other day though. The witnesses, ex friends who I spent so much time were out in our neighborhood. They skipped my house, as me and my mother in law , my neice ( all exjw's) were sitting there smoking.
They didnt even look at us, for fear our evil would rub off on them. My neice went to the neighbor's house , our kin folk as well, and brought back the lastest copy of the WT. We made fun of it and I told her what we could use that for,,,,,,,, I ripped off the cover of the WT magazine, and proceeded to pick up a dog turd that was at the corner of the porch. Silly, I know, but we laughed and it didnt make us feel we were gonna die at Armeggedon either.
