my best friend is well acquainted with jw's.
she has known me since both of our kids were in our bellies.
she was 18, i was 25. our kids were born and raised up together as brother and sister.
When a child's welfare is involved, it's everybody's business. If you won't report this, e-mail me and I will do it for you. When you witness a crime, particularly a crime against another person's body (yes, myself is more important than my property), it is your duty to report it.

i apologize in advance for the length.
when i finally resolved myself to choose a nick, after a year and a half spent as an infamous lurker, i very likely thought to be the only one from this vaticanland interested in this weird net-place and its inhabitants.
but yesterday i found out it's not this way.
Welcome, JJ!
My friend Sharon's mother grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. She thought she was Italian as well, but, alas, she was the more typical American Heinz57 -- Mexican, Indian, German, and who knows what else. Anyway, she told me that the greatest disappointment of her life was learning that she was not Italian!
Let us hear from you often!

and i want to run away!....
hubby's mom and sister and brother in law (all jw's) are coming to visit him next week.
only for one day this time.
GG, do you have a nice "worldly" friend who could come over and offer you some support while the JW relatives are there? You might feel better if a friend could come over for at least part of the day, and the JW's might be on their best behavior with a potential convert present.
(not mine, but lolol) .
your = possesive.
your armor, your flag.
"Grammer" should be "Grammar."
The phrase "better than us" should be better than we."
Otherwise, this was a passable lesson in grammar.
it's pretty obvious that you haven't posted here for a while.
maybe it was all my ribbing about the killer budgies.. .
well whatever it was, just note that i am really a very friendly guy and i was only gently teasing.
naked, You're taking this thread much too seriously. There is no "looking down" on anybody that I can see, just a little twisted humor! We "apostates" can amuse ourselves at the expense of whomever we please without fear of reprisal or reproof. Most of us here know JW's we genuinely like, love, and wish the best for, and do not "look down" on them because we used to be just like them as far as our beliefs and lack of understanding.
Of course, another person can't change someone else who has been programmed a particular way. We have to change ourselves if we want to change.
Have fun here! Lighten up, sit back and enjoy the fireworks!

Golly, SYN, maybe those bird-brained budgies mistook Proplog's identity and got him instead! Or maybe he's in hiding from the attack of the giant budgies and other carnivorous winged creatures because he's an apostate at heart, and those birdies have been given the ability to "read hearts" by the great avenging archangel(s) and other supernatural thugs!
I just hope he's okay. I don't wish the same fate for active JW's that they wish for us. I love them and pray for their escape from all flesh-eating purveyors of paradise.
Happy New Year to all, including, especially, all of you JW's (who need good wishes and happiness most of all).
trying to create a paper trail 5000 kilometers long - heheheheeee.
i need to know from some ex elders what happens when.
1 you get your 'papers' transferred to a new hall.. 2 what they contain.... 3 if any meetings have to be attended at the 'new hall' before they can be sent.. notices of my fraud will be posted soon...
Analysis, are there form letters for the elders to send, or are these poor, overburdened, uneducated souls expected to compose coherent correspondence? If there are form letters, could you or some other devious "apostate" post them for the use of those of us who plot, plan and cogitate on fraud?
Happy New Year!

i have read alot of the advice offered on this board and was hoping to broaden my thoughts on my problem any opinons will be appreciated.
i have been married for 3 years.
i don't have any children by this man but have 3 from a previous marriage.
Nita, I don't want to give advice but to offer my perspective:
Your children did not marry this guy. If you want to live with him, that's fine, but have you ever asked your children if they want to live this way? Is there another relative or other relatives your children can stay with if they want out?
The marriage does not seem to be working as you see it, but working just fine as he sees it. It does not sound like an equal partnership (from your description, which is all I have to go on), nor does it sound like a good model for your children to learn from.
On another thread, I saw a quotation from Maya Angelou that went something like "When someone shows himself to you, believe him." From yet another thread, I remember the advice to ask yourself what you would say to one of your best friends or one of your children in the same situation.
This is difficult for you. I can tell you are torn. I hope you make the choice that is best for you and all other parties involved. BTW, I do not think it best for anyone who is an adult to be tolerated or enabled when engaging in behavior that is harmful to self or others.
Keep us updated. Best wishes and Happy New Year!

here is a site that might help those who get a little carried away tonight .http://www.all-about-hangovers.com/.
have fun
Garrison Keillor once said that for people who don't have hangovers, God made March in Minnesota.
Maybe Gopher or one of our other Minnesota brethren or sistren could explain the meaning of this humorous comparison.
