  WHY ALAN FRAUDBACKER IS DOOMED!

  by You Know in

  2. friends

  for some reason i can't post on the original topic about the fds on why the watchtower is doomed thread.

  so i just started a new post.

  as regards af's long-winded post on that thread, it is obvious to me that you don't know what you are talking about, and that you are merely trying to obfuscate the issue with this enormously long post.

  Larc: hear the June bug buzzing? Isn't he angry? He looks pretty feeble lying there kicking his feet at you, but he sure sounds peeved!

  Flip him over, or stomp, squish?

  Decisions, decisions...

  a bizarre decision!!!

  hi guys...i just wanted to share with you all something that happened over the weekend, that i found really weird.. on saturday i went to a cousins wedding.....we are quite a large extended family, not jw's(only my mom is a witness), so it was nice to be with the family on such special occasions.. throughout the evening i sat down with a cousins husband, who i hadn't seen for about two years.

  we had a pint and he decided to get out a pack of cigars.

  now these cigars were big fat ones (you know the cuban type)...he lit up.

  Dig said: "Isn't it wierd how the 'truth' still affects decisions you make?"

  Isn't it weird how that guilt stays with us after we KNOW the truth about 'the truth'?

  But please friends, never feel guilty or apologetic for keeping your moderate personal habits after deculting! If celebrating isn't your bag, don't let well-intentioned folks herd you into hearty partying. Do what you love. Just say no to the rest. You're free now; and that means free to be as quiet as you wanna be too!

  Papa Dark and Bro would chide at your mama for denying the beneficial effects of a good cigar tho, especially at a wedding...

  Question for any elder/recent ex-elder

  by OrangeBlossom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the elders keep dropping by every couple of saturday's after bookstudy to check on us and try to encourage us back to meetings.

  it has worked out that my husband has been gone when they visit so they keep coming back hoping to catch him sometime.

  anyway, i told my hubby that we should at least go to the meetings once a week to keep them off our trail, which i went this past thursday night and wouldn't you know it the one elder approached me and mentioned that they still want to sit down with us and go over an article on meeting attendance.

  "Problem is, that a sharp-witted elder will then ask "When would be a convenient time?" "

  And my reply would be... "I'll call you when I can find the time. Thanks for your concern. Good-bye now." Click. (or close, if he's actually at the door unannounced. Careful not to slam...)

  You can politely be too busy, too ill, whatever you choose, and deflect any nosyparker with dignity. And you never have to answer the phone, or the door, unless you want to! They only have power over you to the extent that you co-operate in giving it to them...

  When JWs come here

  some thoughts about jws who come here:.

  i have been here for six months now.

  in that time, i have noticed a certain pattern to the conduct of jws who come here and are true believers.

  Larc, they are like newly-hatched June bugs that bumble into the house and drive you nutz bumping and buzzing into the top of the window while you are trying to shoo them toward the opening, just a few inches away, that will let them out. They get scared and panic and try to bite you, thinking you are threatening them, when all you want is for them to quit annoying you and go be a free bug outside in the wide world. Until recently they were just blind grubs rooting in WT filth; they are attracted to the light and sound of everyday living, but are entirely unprepared to withstand the sensory overload of the very things that attract them so powerfully. They KNOW there is life beyond their JW grub days, but they are too disoriented by the light to do more than bumble, buzz, and, too often, fall onto their backs where they will kick fitfully and buzz angrily until some kind soul turns them rightside-up and boosts them out the door.

  The trick is to resist the temptation to stomp their annoying little guts all over the kitchen floor...

  You said: "It doesn't really matter to me, I'm trying to figure out a way not to go at all this year. I'm hoping to catch a summer-long flu bug or something. Pray for me!"

  I recommend cat scratch fever if you can manage to find a cat that will infect you. I guarantee you at least three months of flu symptoms and swollen lymph nodes, exhaustion, antibiotic therapy, and bedrest. In my case it lasted a lot longer than three months due to misdiagnosis; if you find a small-town GP you might get to do antibiotic roulette for months and get a lymph node biopsied for Hodgkin's before a specialist figures out what's really happening and prescribes the right drug to kill the bug. You could miss the summer ass-emblies and maybe even the next circuit ass-emby too.

  By the time I was genuinely on the mend, I was pretty much forgotten by the congo, and was able to do an easy fade into real life.

  The down side of this one is that you will have to forgo the pleasure of living with cats for the rest of your life.

  Maybe it would be easier to fib and SAY you have some disease; it's not really lying, consider it Theocratic War Strategy...

  My dub relatives would heave a big sigh of relief, he's had them squirming since I started 'sharing' his brand of anointed prophecy with them... it would chap their butts bigtime if a (gasp!) apostate were to do what they couldn't figure out... removing his cloak of anonymity would be SWEET justice, and so economical... one stone & all that ya know...

  Whatszamatta, Danny, did I hit close to home? Why are you jealous of some little kids getting 'all' from some social workers?

  Save the stiff lip stuff. Your refusal to reply pretty much proves you didn't know what you were talking about.

  You said, "They have an inate ability to withstand tremendous traumas and physical abuse and then recover."

  I have to wonder... were you ever traumatized as a child? have you any experience at all dealing with people who were? I wonder what you consider 'recovery'. I wonder if you've ever dealt with a child who has been molested, or traumatized by violence, or any other 'trauma'.

  As a victim of childhood 'trauma' (molestation and abandonment) and the parent of a child who was traumatized (mauled by a dog), I am real familiar with the phenomena associated with recovery. It's a whole different world than any trauma experienced as an adult.

  If you're 'tired' of people advocating for children, you might want to ask yourself why you feel that way. Or maybe you are one of those clueless people who think kids are just miniature adults who should be able to 'get over it' like you apparently can?
