clambake, I didnt realize that your wife had the baby. Congratulations to you both!
after having a baby ?

we just had an elder drop by and invite my wife to the kh with a 21 day old baby.. i thought it was kind of classless.
I love that response LisaRose.

so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.
real friendships aren't conditional.".
i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.
well tomorrow is a big day for me.
i'm finally going to be interviewed by the police about what happened to me as a kid.. im running the whole gamut of emotions at the moment.
sad, anxious, angry, guilt, fear and many more that cannot be quantified.. i feel physically sick, cannot sleep, have lost my appetite and i am desperately trying not to self harm.. i've got my sister to thank for getting this far.
..your experience with the watchtower corporation:.
i'll start...... bully boy elders.
well, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".
when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.
;).
Cappy, does she know about that big huge building they just bought near Walkill?
I wonder what she would think then?
Your post was so funny...thanks for the laugh!!!
hello all, thanks for all the warm welcomes this weekend.
there was some interest in my origins story so here goes.. i am a born in, never baptised.
my parents were immigrants who knew no one in a new town in a new country when they got love bombed into the cult.
Hi River,
You were so smart when you were a teenager. Good for you and thanks for sharing your story.
Its nice to meet you!
i found this great article.
it's rather long but a good read for anyone interested.
the 10 bullet points are:-.
I liked it!
Does that make me an atheist? :relaxed:
in jw land having such was verboten.
who are some of yours and why?.
1. nikola tesla - greatest inventor ever, and the only one i know of who was a true scientist as well.. 2. elon musk - there is a reason he chose the great inventor's name for his masterpiece work...also has a serious pair.... 3. jim morrison - brilliant and mad poet.. 4. mike krzyzewski - the epitome of success.. 5. maya angelou - brilliant humanistic poet and writer.. 6. albert einstein - do i actually have to qualify this?.
I like the quiet heros, the ones that live on anyones street.
The ones that make you glad you know they are out there.
Great thread done4good.
I will go and think awhile about a hero anyone here might know and be back!
at the latest co visit something very strange happened.
during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.
upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.
Jw_Rogue, was this done at an elders meeting or a general meeting with publishers there?
Either way, its tacky and manipulative. I was just curious!
I had to laugh when I read this statement below- so true!
ZAPPA-ESQUE
So the "lay-it-on- heavy approach is making another orbit -
was happily married many yrs unconditional love till wife went heaven yr n half ago.
3 mos ago sun morn.
when i once asked her if she been abused, cause seems like it, she didn't ans just hung her head.
Hi new poster thankyou,
It sounds like your connection to this woman was immediate and intense.
I can see that you are very sad and confused. You have really been through a lot emotionally lately with the death of your wife and now this. It looks like your emotions have been on a roller coaster that you didnt ask for or plan on.
If what you are seeking here is information on this woman, you probably wont find it here, People here are anonymous (like your posting name "thankyou").
If what you are hoping to find here is information about Jehovahs Witnesses and what they teach people and what their rules are, then you have come to the right place.
Im sorry you are hurting and I hope you enjoy your time at this forum.
Welcome and glad to have you here.
