5. It's not convenient right now.

And I'd invite them to come back next week when I would ask them to come in and sit down:

19. I read in the Watchtower that Jesus is not my mediator. Did you know that?
10. May I show you why I have become a Christian/Buddhist/agnostic/atheist/humanist etc?

OMG, I'm so sorry. I forgot my cousin fixed that chair last night. The glue must not have been dry. Here, let this soak in for half an hour and it should come unstuck. If there is any damamge to your clothing, I'll pay for it. But, since you'll be here awhile:

12.Have you heard anything about the Watchtower Society and the UN?
13. Why do you think the churches have had problems with paedophile priests?
6. Have you seen Dateline/Panorama/Sunday?
16. I heard a lot have left the organisation; is it true?

And after they had ripped their clothing off of the chair and were running from the demonic B!tch from Hell

15. If I came to the meetings, would anyone speak to me?

BWAA-HAA-HAA-HAA-HAAAAA

Family

by DJ in

hey everyone,.

i was moved by the sad news about ima and his poor son's kindness to follow his dad's last wishes.

(see thread entitled, "please read") anyway, it struck me as odd last night that i actually shed tears over this man.

queer_reality

I HATE what they did to all of us here! Liars, theives.....I want to scream it!

Oh, YES! Sometimes I have to be so very... circumspect. I escaped the jws years ago, in another area. Now I have a civil service job. I work with and for a few jws. One of them is an elder. Behind his back, he is called "Robo" which is short for RoboCop--he was a Military policeman in the Marines. He's a real assh*le. He happens to be my boss. (sounds: screaming, things crashing into walls and breaking) One of the r/f jws I work with once (in my presence) forgot himself and actually agreed with some criticism of Robo.

I just want to have 'normal' thoughts...lol what are they? Isee these people living their lives and they look truly happy....are they faking it? The wtteachingscan realywreak havoc on a person, huh?

Yeah. I often do not even have a scale by which to measure something. For example, how much anger is reasonable in a given situation? Or what to expect from a friendship. As for happiness, well, I figure I'm doing good if I'm not depressed. For me, its pretty incredible just to feel content--as in not being conflicted. I've been told I need to raise my expectations. That I should expect to feel happy. That is such a peculiar idea.

I feel so relieved to have found this board. (Thanks Simon!) Most folks just don't get it.

I really do have to write up a bio so y'all can know a bit more about me. I'm really, incredibly screwed up.

Last night my dad tried to commit suicide

by cruzanheart in

jw
friends

i'm still blown away by it.

when i went out the door this morning to take the kids to school (7:15 a.m.) i turned on my cell phone and there were two messages from his retirement home, both saying that he had fallen at about 4:30 a.m. and was being taken to the hospital.

i called the hospital and they told me that he said he had taken 18 xanax in an effort to kill himself.

queer_reality

OMG, I'm so sorry. You must be so stressed out. Take good care of yourself.

He sounds like quite a guy...

>until that hot affair with the 85-year-old
>cutie in his retirement home two years ago

ROTFL!
That's so awesome. Good for him!

Best of luck.

.

before my dad went into surgery he asked that i contact the people on this board and let them know how much it ment to him much it ment to him over the past month or so to be able to talk with all of you.. this is one of the few things in his life he could still enjoy.dad wanted to especially thank craig (ona ) for accepting him and apologies for anything he said that might have offended you.. my father was in so much pain over the past seven years ,god must have thought it was time,dad passed a few houres after surgery.. dad asked not to have a service and will be cremated than placed in an urn ( as he said "so he can keep an eye on mom" ) we all loved him deeply and he will be missed.

i will leave the company email should anyone want to,i will print them out for mom and the family to read.. again thanks to all, our love is with each and every one of you.. matthew mc cune [email protected]

Gently Helping Someone to De-Tower

by Scully in

jw
friends

it looks like today is going to continue to be a day of surprises for me.. one of my daughter's classmates called earlier and said she wanted to go "trick or treating" with my children this hallowe'en.

normally, this wouldn't have surprised me, except that when we first met this family, it was on the little girl's birthday, and her mother made it very clear that they didn't observe birthdays because it was against their faith.

so anyway, i wanted to clarify with the mother today, because she had told me in the interim that they were jws, and i didn't want to cause any offense or do anything that would get the little girl in trouble later on when her mother found out.

queer_reality

Way Cool!

I hope she calls you.

I rather like it. Nice eye candy.

Just make sure that those loins are girded. The rest is just fine.

UN involvement/elders reply.

by Bosho in

several weeks ago i asked a lot of you here about the involvement with the un.

you were really helpful in your replies.

thank you.. i approached an elder who i know is "up" on that sort of thing and guess what... he had no idea!.

queer_reality

Bosho

You are very welcome. I rather hope they choke on it. Unfortunately, jws have lots of practice swallowing just about anything.

BTW, its queer reality (or queereality) -- not quiet reality.
I have not often found reality to be all that quiet -- it is usually quite intrusive.
