i'm very much a home-body, so i don't go out much and meet a lot of people.
in recent months i've been trying to reverse that and meet more people.. so far the pattern is this:.
meet someone.start chatting and talking.notice a distinct chemistry.attempt to move things to the next level.now this is where things get frustrating.
HAY ALFALFA
What do you expect?
Your a 5 ft. kid with big ears and frickles!
remember those jokes we heard time and time again from the platform yet still everyone got a good (fake) chuckle?
i remember hearing this one a million times: "a pioneer was stressing about which vehicle to buy for service, but remember, jesus said '"follow in my footsteps, not my tire tracks!!!
fbf.
One brother in a talk was talking about small life forms............... that he called "mico orgasms"
Little baby ones.......ones you could hardly see.............
check this out (hope you have a strong stomach .
from the ex:.
also, how are the kids handleing the holiday thing....for real....and do you really feel that is what you believe in, it just worries me......i havent said anything cuz its your choice, it is just that i wish you would come back.....move to omaha, and get into a diff congre, they would embrace you, they really would, .........heck, they embraced me after all the crap i did and fell and got back up.......i do see the good in you........ .
How about this
Thank you for seeing the good in me!
I on the other hand like God see the good in ALL people............not just 6 million out of 6 billion!
Peace my friend
post here, what you would love to say in front of all the congregation.
.
.
I would say the one thing they could never say to me........
Something Jesus would say......."Forgive them God for they do not know what they do"
and
"I Forgive and bless you all"!
well, it's good to know what the watchtower's priorities are these days.
they're facing dwindling numbers in the industrialized nations, a growing number of child abuse lawsuits, a pedophile database of over 23,000 members just waiting to be exposed, and what do they have on the front page of their website?
phone sex!!.
"Watch how you walk and watch how you talk"..............watch what you say and watch what you do
it was a waste wasting 15 years of my life on this false religion.
i've cried when i find out that this religion is bull shit and are false prophets.
i'm a pioneer still and supposed to meet up in service with this brotha tomorr but i'm not going.
Peace and love my friend...............You will find no judgement here.
ok, so let's say you haven't gone to a meeting in a while.
then along comes the co visit (the first since you've stopped attending).
everyone has pretty much left you alone up until this point, right?
You have 2 options!....................and I have no problem with either one!
I have done both!
The first is really the BEST!
1 Tell them the "TRUTH"...........in which case you will have to talk to them for hours.
2 If you can' t do that one LIE!................A good one in this case is.................. "I will come to your meeting" ..............the conversation will be over in 1 min. ..................(they can't drive you there).........then DON'T go...........................when they call to to ask "why"......say you had a flat.....ran out of gas.......got and important out of state phone call......you get the idea!
Might as well do #1...............or you will have to play this game................ the rest of your life.
what a wonderful response i have received from my last (which was my first post) post from everyone here.
the one thing that was drilled into my head was that you can not trust anyone that is not a jw.
i had only one worldly friend since high school and she has been there for me thru everything.
Welcome Lynn
I have been in business for over 35 years (at one time only hiring JWs)...............worked with many "worldly" people and many "brothers and sisters"
I have been screwed over more by "Gods people" then any other!
And their reason................"Hay why NOT? why should he have more?............One day we will all be the same!

from the latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.. .
too funny... my cousin sent me a funny email (just thought i'd share).
