Odrade, Hmmm.. you are of the holy dogwood...isn't there some story about Jesus and dogwood? And something about blood on the flowers?
In the book of Celtic signs I'm the oak I wanna be... try that for dogwood.

i was reading a book on celtic beliefs.
and as the western beliefs have the zodiac; and the asians have the 12 animals who came to buddha, so the celts believe different trees represent basic characteristics in humans.. so ok which kind of tree would you be ?
i would be an oak.

when you cross a jw with hells angel?.

ok, i'd like to start a "what do you get..." joke thread, any takers?
A Jehovahs Witness recently widowed, took her hubands ashes to the ocean. She opened the canister and the ashes blew towards the ocean. She took the last bit in her hand and said "Here's that blow job you always wanted."
just wanted to let everyone know that today, piph and i attended the last day of our last borg assembly ever!
the feeling walking out was wonderful.
my heart kind of sank a little when i remembered that i still had to attend meetings for a little over a month.
Eup and Piph, How terrific for you both. I'm glad you've got each other!
Wow I'm trying to remember ... my last DC was I think 1995. I don't remember anything except "Get me outta here" Nick was still an elder so I tried really hard to look interested. It was awful and crowded on certain levels. I'm a large size female so I had bruises from the arm rests of those cheap plastic seats. I kept hoping I'd break the seat and have a really good excuse to go home.
I think we both had decided to not go to the next convention. By that time my honey had been given grief enough. We did attend a few CA . Mainly I wanted to see friends who would eventually stop talking to me. My sister friends kept admonishing me about service yaddah yaddah... I was sad that that's what they cared about, that education was destroying my faith and service would restore it.
Now you've got me really thinking ... I believe I stopped listening to the talks at the DC about 10 yrs before I left. As boring as it got I still believed it was the "Truth." Just plain old snookered!

for the most part field service is a dull event-less drudgery.
but there are those rare times that something happens that makes it almost worth the effort.. while living in the state of washington i was privileged to meet a rare sister.
she was funny and a bit off the wall.
Oh wow, we've all probably got tons of these...
There was a pioneer sister who no one ever saw outin service. She owned the local pizza Hut and also a gas station/convienience store. Anyway I guess the CO was visiting and I got to go to a door with her. I thought ok good. The magazine swe were placing had an article about the Bishop and the bomb.
So the sister says to the HH:" Notice here on the cover how the shape of the Bishops hat is exactly like the shape of the bomb."
Panda was struck dumb!!!!!
i wonder if he's allowed to wear a short sleeve shirt.

doctors have grown a new penis on a russian boy's arm after he lost his old one in a bizarre accident.
OK men explain what possessed this boy to wee on an electric fence. How do we know he won't try this again now that he knows it can be replaced. I can't believe this. "How do you guys walk around with those things"Elaine
my dad just got a serious stroke and he may pass on.
my dubbie relatives heard about it and all they could say is "you need jehovah right now.
" typical.
RedRain, I hope your Dad doesn't die, and really many people recover from a stroke. I'm not trying to give false hope but I think even Mulan or someone went through this.
But I'd like to kick your dub relatives in the butt. They have absolutely no love or fellow feeling I am so so sorry you have to hear the crap they dish out ..."You need Jehovah now" Oh please tell them to take their bronze age god home and keep him there.
it seems that politics are once more taking over the board.. when things are discussed properly it's not a problem but alas, it seems some can't help but start throwing insults and labels around.
i keep reading about "you left wing communist loving liberals" and "right wing facists" and really, it's getting very tiresome.. can i suggest we tone it down please.
think before you post and don't be surprised if you include insults in your post that it will just be deleted.. also, unless you are interested in having a discussion and hearing opposing points of view without getting all pissy about it then don't post !
Abortion, Capital punishment, evolution, gun control et al., are subjects many of us have spent years avoiding as dubs. NOW we have the chance to form informed opinions. That is all part of the healing process. We try to avoid the old cognative disonance trap we fell into for our dub years.
Many of us are voting now. I find it both refreshing and aggravating that people who used to agree with me and the WTS 100% now don't agree w/ me on politics, abortion, evolution etc. I want to hear it.
Someday I want to be able to discuss my childhood and I won't be able to do that w/o explicit words. Why would I do that here on this forum? Because I have a basic trust that my outpouring will be met by people who actually care. If a person takes exception to how I might portray family members then I want to know that too.
I want to talk about how amazing and refreshing this board of honesty is, and sarcastic too w3hich I really like.

i'm in the middle of decorating my new house, and was a bit stuck as to what to use to mask off the furniture/carpets etc until i spotted an oldv pile of watchtowers that i'd been meaning to throw out.
i now have paint spattered watchtowers all over my living room.. anybody else got any good things to use old liturature for?
I threw most of it away. But every once in awhile something pops up, then the demons grab me by the hair and ravish me (oh wait that was Nick)
I used the bound volumes to elevate my teapot collection on top of my kitchen cabinets. That ebau idea is good though. Does anyone know how to sell on ebay?

i am so relieved.
LadyLee, This is great news. And I know that orthotics can change your entire outlook (especially when you're cancer free). Nothing like happy feet (Panda does the happy feet dance)
