Texans Running My Pub? My Giddy Aunt.....

by Englishman in

jw
friends

it's absolutely true.. folks, i'm reeling with shock at this announcement.

ron & jenny who own the place have decided to take a weeks break at the end of august.. a few months ago, ron & jen went to texas to stay with some americans that they had met while visiting their daughter in japan, a couple by the name of molly and harvey.

he expressed a desire to run a pub in england, so ron has taken him up on his offer.

LyinEyes

Wow , Englishman,I am impressed.... an old Dallas fan??? Did you watch this soap while you were a witness? You know that was a sin right? Oh i watched it and loved every minute of it hehheeh.

Texans are really great people,, but be prepared for constant bullcrap , you will never know if they are telling the truth or making up a story. Tall tales , and they will do anything and everything to shock you . I am speaking from experience here, I am married to a born Texan and I was born in Texas also. That is why we are so full of it!!!!!!!!!!!! But you will never be bored , it should be very entertaining to say the least.

Favorite Football team?

by WildTurkey in

ok guys and dolls, american football will start in a couple months, so who is the team you pull for?.

ok i know i will get shit for this but go cowboys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love the dallas cowboys

LyinEyes

Of course I love the DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was growing up around here in Louisiana you either liked the Dallas Cowboys or the Pittsburg Stealers. I remember for school fund raisers we would sell, bowls, pens, popcorn canisters and you could chose either the Cowboys or the Stealers. It was a big rivialry back in the 70's.

I will never forget the big superbowl party we had at our house in 1995 when Dallas stomped those Stealers!!!!!!!!!! Sweet heaven, it was fun.

We would book it out of the kingdom hall on Sundays to get home to watch the game. Sometime you could find Turkey and oldest son sitting out in the car listening to the game on the radio. How shameful to not be partaking of the spiritual bla bla food at the not, i mean proper time.

LSU is my other fav. team,,, even more action than pro, seems like they don't get hurt as much and sure have alot of heart.

LETTERS OF OUTRAGE TO GOVERNING BODY

by orangefatcat in

jw
friends

why don't we show our support and our outrage at the same time to the governing body for their actions towards bill bowan, barb, and all the silentlambs and see how many we can flood into the wtbs headquarters.

what do you think??

I think this would be a start.They may not read it , they will not respond that is for sure, but at least it will help us to feel we are doing something. Who knows if one person up there reads it, who's to say it will not plant a seed of doubt or understanding. I don't think everyone in the WTBS is pure evil, yet, maybe they are, but it is worth the effort to try and reach someone. I for one would love to work for the cause of SilentLambs and for the wrong done to all involved in this lastest Dateline scandal.

Remember in the past laws were changed because someone took the time to make an issue known. It may take time, but if enough people stand together, it just might work. I think we should ban together and make our voices heard, regardless of the fact that the WT wants us to shut up. Last time I looked , we still have freedom of speech in this country and we should use it, there are lives at stake here. The WT does not have the right, to destroy lives, destroy family ties, and to destroy a person reputation.

How much before a person snaps?

by MrMoe in

friends

just wondering, cause i think i just may.

so how much pressure can a person take before they go insane?

what is the human mid capable of?

LyinEyes

Oh my dear Amanda and Emmie, I understand what your pain is all about now. I have no words to say I understand how you feel, I havent been thru that . But I can imagine how I would feel, and it would be an extreamly hard thing to go thru . This has been going on since Tuesday and you have made it this far, that speaks volumns about your strength and love for your daughter. I wish I was closer to you to hold your hand, I hope you can find someone to talk to , to cry with, you need to be able to let your hurt out too, just as much as Emmie does. I am just sick to my stomach at what is going on in the world towards the children. I hope that your daughter will get the help that see needs, thank God you are no longer in the borg, they would sweep it under the rug and the child would never get the help she needs. You are doing the best thing and you are a great mother by doing all you have to help her. I still wish my little Kelly and Emmie could play together and have a fun day,even thou it wouldnt make what she has been thru go away, maybe it would be good for her to be able to be a child , away from all the questions the poor girl must have to answer. I can just imagine you holding each other and I know she will get her strength from you . My thoughts are with you two all day. Please let us know how she is doing, I would love to mail her a barbie doll or something, a teddy bear, what does she like??? Email me your address, if you feel comfortable with that, I really want to get her something, Kelly would like to draw her a picture and she would love to have a penpal. I don't want to intrude by asking that, but I really would like to send you a card and her a toy. I love email ,but a good ol handwritten letter , is still one of my favorite things.

Oh Bill, I have been crying all morning about our d/a , and now I am crying for you. This is so wrong, just because we have a different opinion or do something they say is not their way , we get thrown away. All the years , and it is over in a few days. At least you made your mark on the world , you opened the eyes of many, you have helped countless abuse victims, I hope you will be able to continue your mission. This is heartbreaking, but was expected. I just don't see how and on what basis they are justifing this. I know what they say , but it doesnt hold water. Today you are a victim as well dear Bill, and for you I will light a candle. I wonder if they will allow you to be at your own appeal? You are in our thoughts Bro. Bill, love to you and your family,,,,,,,,,,,Lyin and WildTurkey

hey lyin eyes and wildturkey i luv u guys im here as a friend always no matter what

LyinEyes

Hey Pretender, good to see you here. Wild Turkey showed me this post and I have to admit, I broke down crying. Still crying, LOL. I am very emotional these last few days, I dreamed about being at a convention last nite and of the friends I had from long ago. In my dream I knew it would be the last time I would be talking to them.

I just erased about a paragraph of things I wanted to say to you, but I will email you later.

It is good to know we will be friends to the end,,, the way that is said, in the subject space, also made me cry. It seems there have been so many loses in my life, you know about them all, it is good to know , that we havent lost everything. The most important people will still be with us. I am crying out of thankfulness, out of love, and of what a beautiful person you are.

I know we will make it thru this, we have made alot of new friends here and it helps so much to have such wonderful , loving support. Again thanks, for your words, they will be with us forever.

How much before a person snaps?

by MrMoe in

jw
friends

just wondering, cause i think i just may.

so how much pressure can a person take before they go insane?

what is the human mid capable of?

LyinEyes

Mr. Moe, it must be very hard to be a single mom, with all the responsibility of a young child 24/7. I totally understand how you feel you are about to break, maybe you already have in a way. I dont know you that well, and I don't understand what you are trying to say in this post, but you need a break. I have been there myself, just totally felt exhausted and had to go to my bed and close the door. I am thankful to my husband for being there to back me up and take the kids off my hands when I felt I could take no more. Sounds like you need some alone time, is there anyone you really trust to watch little Emmie for just half a day or even a few hours? That would give you time to go to your room, get in your jammies, and curl up and think. You may even fall deep asleep, it may be what your body is needing right now. Sometimes our minds just get overloaded with lifes problems, especially if that have to do with our children.

Taking a few hours for yourself will not solve everything, I am not saying it will at all, but it can help you to make a first step in deciding what your next step will be. Maybe you will decide to go to the doctor, or talk to a trusted friend, but really it will help to just close your eyes and not be a mommie for just a few hours. Sometimes the mommie needs to be taken care of too. Of course again , I dont know what is really the root problem that has you so upset, it is hard to say what to do, if you don't know the whole story. But when I felt I was falling apart, it was nice for someone (my hub) to say ,, go rest and let me help you. I hope you have a support system . Wish I was there to help you , hon... my little girl is 9 and she would love to make over and be a big sister to your little girl. If I lived close I would take her to Chucky Cheese with my kids, and she would have a blast , and you would know she was ok and having fun. Then you could collect your thougts and get a little rest. There is nothing wrong with needing to take care of yourself...Please let us know how you are doing ok... I will be wondering if you are ok. Hugs and love,,,,,,,,,, Dede

our friend alan f. and his wife julie have been on vacation in oregon for a week.

they took a couple days to visit the oregon coast and rented a beach house in a small town south of cannon beach.

i drove down from portland yesterday to spend the day with them and their daughter julie and my son abe.

LyinEyes

Oh thank God, .......... whewwwwwwwww,, I couldnt imagine someone beating them up.

I keep reading so many bad things happening to people on here and it scared the crap out of me.

I am in the "always terrified something bad is going to happen " class.

Sounds like you all had a wonderful time. It is so good to hear about all of the ex jw's getting together all around the world, sounds like it is almost time for an international apostofest very soon.

Chemical explanation to superstition?

friends

from http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992589.

paranormal beliefs linked to brain chemistry

19:00 24 july 02

LyinEyes

Interesting Jan. I recall a similar experiment on the discovery channel. Can't remember all the details, but it was about near death experiences, seeing the white tunnel,or white light. I just don't know how to feel about these things, I have had some werid things happen to me, yet at this point my beleif in some higher power is is almost gone. I am open to both sides of the issue for now, but I totally think that our brains are so complex , they will never know all the power we possess. Right now I want to beleive in a higher power , some supernatural exsistance, so that may be why I sometimes "see" things . These things could be just coincidence or the earth's gravitational pull, who knows. But I can attest to the fact that our brain can do the same thing to us, like in dreams, or when we are under medication, it seems real, but that doesnt ,mean it was real. I have enjoyed everyones post under this topic.
