  March 15, 2012 WT: These times are more critical than when we last called them critical, honest!!

  by MrMonroe in

  just sad.

  "the christian ministry has always been urgent, but now it is more critical than ever.

  " (page 18).. what follows is more of the same disgusting tripe: the same scare tactics (nuclear weapons, terrorists, climate change, hurricanes, wars) that made me join in 1985 when the world was on the brink of nuclear armageddon.

  Outlaw: "Worldly people shouldn't buy green banannas... they will never get a chance to eat them."

  Made me LOL because a similar thing was actually said to hubby and me. We were in the nursury dept. at Home Depot buying bareroot fruit trees when a pious 2 faced elder from our hall spotted us. He rushed over with his wife following behind. After an insincere "Hi we REALLY miss you at the KH." He looks at his wife and says,"I don't want to plant fruit trees because I know we would NEVER harvest any fruit since the end is SOOOO close." His wife shot me a visible eye roll and I returned it and said, "You could be right. But if not, I'm going to really enjoy my home grown cherries,apricots,plums,peaches, and apples.

  That was FOUR years ago. The fruit is delicious! I've thought about leaving some on his doorstep with a note. hahahaha

  I love the TV show Sons Of Anarchy. The main characters are so much like my ex husband, his girlfriend, his 2ond wife and their friends it's scary. It's like looking at a train wreck. Probably shouldn't but I can't help myself!

  found out that the land by itself was bought for cash at the tune of $1,250,000.00 - land size is approx 600 feet by 1000 feet - in the desert, small town between two major cities.

  no idea what the building cost!

  my mother had this arrangement.

  what it actually accomplished was isolating her from the cong.

  as she was 89 she didn't drive at night.

  some of you may or may not know but i came out before my husband.

  he has not been to the meetings in 4 years but still acted like a witness.

  i know it has been hard on him as he was raised a witness and i was not.

  Meangirl, Congratulations!!! Hubby and I can relate to leaving but not being "mentally out". Boy, is it a load off when you can finally kick the whole indoctrination to the curb!

  Have a wonderful new 2012.

  Dear Quandry, Still Thinking, Dagney, Troubled Mind, Loz,:

  Your kind thoughts made my day! I'm healing on all levels, Physically,emotionally, now it's time to work on Financially. Hubby is working night and day to try to keep our house. The bank is trying to kick us out on Wed. (like we don't have enough on our plate).

  BTW, our neighbors brought us a delicious dinner on Christmas then came this morn. with French toast! Needless to say, we will be persuing their friendship.

  Azazel, Thanks, I am too!

  X360shipper, Cheers to you too!

  Loz, Wow, I am terribly sorry about the rift between you and your children. I can relate to the nasty divorce and the complications the WT$ adds to it. I'm sorry your family is suffering. My ex started stalking and vandelizing our property after I remarried. The 2 teenage kids chose to live with him (he was dfed I and new hubby were in) They didn't believe their dad would do such awful things. I was hartbroken! He sent the kids far away to college,(I'm glad about that now) My son came back to me after graduating but had an accident and died.

  After our son died my ex became worse and the stalking escalated into attempts on hubby and my life. He even poisoned our dog. During this time we moved twice trying to escape, and begged the elders not to divulge our address. (the ex was dfed and we were in good standing) They ignored us probably thought I was simply a bitter ex wife. We finally moved a 3rd time, quit attending, and told no JWs where we live. It worked. The ex died under mysterious circumstances so those problems are thankfully, gone. Yet of course, I was left with PTSD.

  At this point I can almost be glad the elders treated us so poorly (there is MUCH more to that story) because their conduct was so bad in all 3 congs, we found it easier and easier to stay away. Next we found JVN and the rest is history. Like you, I plan to make the most of my new life out of the Borg.

  Thank you Factfinder, Merry Christmas to you and those you love as well. Actually there are currently only 2 ppl in my life, hubby and far away daughter. Looks like I have my work cut out for me to do good to others and hopefully make some friends in the process. Can't wait until the summer meet-up at Lake Tahoe. I hope to meet many of you there!

  This is the first year I've ever wished anyone Merry Christmas or Happy Hollidays. It felt so strange at first. Now it feels GREAT. I'm in bed recovering from surgery this year and fading...so no outside decor, no tree, no presents. Next year is going to be a whole different story. I plan to go whole hog and if anyone doesen't like it, tuff sh*t.

  Happy Everything to ALL with love from 3rdgen
