so the hounder hounder co was in town for his bean counting mission and he was invited to pay my ill father in law a visit.
just like every other time he comes since father in law never attends anymore because of his failing health but this time he is a little judgmental.
my father in law felt very much like he was being interrogated rather than shepherded.
Wha Happened...We had one in Albuquerque that made it a df offense to host a party. Stupidass....
Truth_b_known...LOL, I bet if he caught wind of it he would have pitched a fit! LOL
We used to drive in from Sacramento and in the foggy times it was a DRAG to go to Yuba City.

I know HUH! We had one co named Mega...My brother called him Brother Megadeth behind his back...LOL ...Anyways he used to nag about the stupidest stuff. One VERY helpful and dedicated elder was made to step down because he was overweight. Once a small child walked in front of the platform at the ca in Yuba City, CA and he stopped talking and said MODALES...MANNERS in Spanish. Embarrased the parents who were STUDIES so bad they left and to my knowledge never returned. The kid was going to teh bathroom and his parents were sitting in the front row with him. What was he supposed to do crawl beneath the chairs to get to the bathroom???

He pulls out a stack of washtowel magazines two feet thick and shows the co ALL of the underlining he has done. And THAT appeased to sonofabitch. I supposed the sign of your position as one of Christ's lambs is not the love you have for your fellowman or fellow jw, it's the number of underlined sentences within the wt authority...the washtowel magazine. I felt such pity when he related this to me, even as he beamed with pride for having won over the co with such a display of faith that managed to help him to redeem himself.
Has anyone else around here seen this happen with a co?
is it possible for today's youths to remain in the religion?.
The compound in upstate New York will probably have breeding facilities where pioneers will be mated by the gb and the environment will be controlled 100%...
All kidding aside, I bet they lose it eventually.
i do, every few months and the dreams are terrifying.
i had one last night and the demons grabbed me as usual and instead of shouting out big j's name like i usually do in these dreams (not out loud mind you) i shouted instead ''get away from me satan'' ha!.
i don't believe in either but obviously my fear of demons growing up as affected my subconscious into adulthood (i'm 40).
Once when i was a teenager a friend of mine and I were driving over the Rio Grande and saw what appeared to be headlights under the water. We stopped to get a better look and got out of his pickup. We soon saw the lights approaching us. we saw a phantasmesque figure flying toward us so we jumped in the truck and drove away. For a few nights I had terrifying dreams about it. I have been compelled to go to whatever river I live by to investigate. Last week I had a dream about it and was again compelled TWICE to walk along the Kings River here near my home. Both nights I heard shrieks and other scary sounds. I take my pistol with me, not so much to fire at an apparition but in case I find a danger from THIS SIDE.
I have also had a recurring dream since I was a kid. being cut apart by dark, faceless figures. So disturbing and terrifying.
happiness is possible.
in a divided household.
the christian congregation!.
"So how far does a woman go in subjection, allow physical and verbal abuse? How many punches does he get before it goes beyond "harshly"?"
I say that the first sign of those is the cue to get outta Dodge.
THANKS Blondie!
do you know of any "jw" teenagers that were very bad in morals, but later in life they become elders, elderettes, etc...?
what were they like?
what are they like today?.
My wife's brother, the middle one. He was always getting into fights, screwing the young sisters and basically being a teenager. Well he grew up and married a real shrew and went from lazy pioneer on welfare and foodstamps to working two jobs and becoming an elder to please the shrew and satisfy her materialistic and selfish ways. Now he poo poos on anyone not sitting where he commands them to in the hall. Oh, they also hid her infidelity from the congregation. She screwed her boss.
i had a ms come into my work today to encourage me to come back to the meetings.
he asked me how i was doing and i smiled real big and told him i was doing wonderful!!!
he was completely confused because i think i was supposed to be feeling bad and guilty for not going out in service and feeling like the wrath of jehovah was upon me.
I imagine one day a jw will melt down something like this...
a subject i (sadly) may have some expertise in !.
if you are an old dude, what motivates you?
not sex, generally.
I dunno, I'm 50 now and sex is still one HELLUVA motivator for this fat ol' cowboy...LOL
i had tears in my eyes at work today.
there was an arbor day celebration and some teenagers had some speeches and they planted a tree...most people would not be as touched by the events today as i was but one of the women recieving an award said that she was proud of these children because they were doingsomething good for the communtiy...and i was proud of them too, but i was sad for jw's who would think these children are "bad" just because they are not witnesses...or the jw who would not let their children associate with these teenagers or even be part of a "wordly" club..that's what made me sad, all those years i missed looking at the little beautiful things in life in a positive light and not the negative debbie downer way jw's look at things..
They waste their time because the only real way to help is to peddle the literature. Such a sham!
