bring a pillow.
fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 10 minutes.
wake up, say "oh geez, better get cracking" and do some gibberish work.
When I was fifteen I had a brother who came up and said all of yur ansures are wrong, don't your parents ever study with you!
So I I went to the mens rest room and craped down the heater vent situated on the floor, and never returned for a year or more, I did ask a few friends of mine if they smelled anything in the hall they said yes they the Elders had to council the hall on wathing their children, I just smiled. Pepper
i know of a congregation on the east coast that is having all bookstudies meet at the kingdom hall!
that's right--no bookstudies in private homes, at least for now.... has anyone else heard of this?
and what could be the reason?
I remember well the book study, full or real fond memories like taking the money from the contribution box for the ice cream man, getting beavershots from my girl friends cause we had to set on the floor for lack of chairs, and ahh yes, spending an hour circling (GOD and JEHOVAH) in some old book or magazine, to keep us out of trouble.
My favorite was listening to this old brother relate his encounters with the demons and how he expelled them by using Gods name, now that used to scare the shit out of me.
And my pet Cat coming in the front room where the study was going behind the couch and craping, and no one knew but me cause I seen him go behind there, it was too funny, everyone looking at each other like who's the pig who cut a cutie. LOL I had my first kiss and a few other goodly things out side after the book study from my girl friend behind the house while the some of the group were drinking wine inside, ahh life was sweet, it was the only meeting I liked other than when my Dad made me set on the floor next him by his big chair so he could thump my head with his thumb.

i have a complex situation that i would like some help with..... married, two kids.
my husband and i have had our problems.
married young and all.
I am man,I was married for twenty two years to woman who was a JW and was the rainbow of my life. We had our distrust of each other and some of it really hurt, but as I look back at what our divorce has done to my daughters if I could go back in time I would have stayed togather just so I could see happiness on my childrens faces cause that's what makes being a parent woth all the pain. I agree with the bible's saying what God says "I hate a divorceing" cause unless there really is no other way it only brings pain, familys should stay togather, that's our gift to our children because they take it with them long after we are gone they contine to give it to their children. (Just one mans thoughts.) Pepper
you should be ashamed
to call yourselves christian!!
people who molest children
You ever tried to tell a JW that they belong to a cult,it took me a long time to find the true difinition of what a cult is, I did finnd it on thhe net but that is looked upon as demonic to use the internet difinitions of anything according the JW's. Just what is truth anyway? Pepper
first off, let me express that bill bowen would not know me from any stranger on the street.
i have never spoken with him, or have i ever corresponded with him.
the only information that i have of him is what i have read of him on this forum and on silentlambs.org.
These lambs have experienced a major loss of control in their lives, and to throw all their eggs in the Silentlambs lap is to repeat this loss of control. Should Silentlambs 'fall thru', it would further devastate the lambs, whereas if they take their cases into their own hands, justice will move forward.
My opinion, for what it's worth.

Extreamly well said Mimlly, I study law presently and that is right on the mark.

Dear Brothers,
On June 6, 2002 you were sent a formal request to establish a judicial hearing in order to hear serious allegations against the Governing Body.
>>> As I read the above request I ask myself why is there such a begging for a response and for the Watch Tower leadership to do anything in regard to being righteous concerning these allegations, they look upon all of you as apostates which to them is the same as being demonically inspired. What makes anyone think they can become the hammer of God and thrust it down on anyone, then one would be just as the Watch Tower hierarchy now has become that of putting one self in a position of Godliness without out Gods approval and direction.

"silent lambs" speak out: child abuse alleged within jehovah's witnesses
downey -- two local women from a group calling themselves the "silent lambs" made a symbolic gesture monday, hanging a stuffed lamb doll on the door of the kingdom hall in downey; a move meant to protest alleged cases of child abuse within the jehovah's witnesses religious order.
Poppy cock !!!!! It is not " Gods earthly organization"! that is the mind control at its best, if God has such representives as this then it is a mockery to any God who claims rightiousness is his.
i have followed the silentlambs issue for awhile now.
i saw the special on dateline, and read a few things on newspapers and online links.
i have a question though and wonder if someone could answer it for me, as this was asked to me by someone "outside of the organization" and i did not know.. .
The Watchtower organizations pampas attitude towards their handling child abuse victim's legal rights, staggers my imagination, in that they by and large have no empathy concerning the child, only what seems to be their image. To any reasonable person their actions are disgusting and shows a high mindedness of biblical proportions. Pepper
hi folks,.
i'm rather new here, only posted a couple of times.
although i have been visiting the site daily for a good 2 months now.
>>> I had this happen recently, my JW mother was visiting prior to Xmas last year, and so I waited until after her visit to put up our tree (it being my first) and I had the most fun decorating it and finding the best lights etc...I'm really good at being a pagan now, I have it all worked out for this Xmas.
So put up your tree and enjoy!! Merry Christmas!!! <<<
Oh my," so funny, me too. I went to see a lady friend in St. Louis, MO last year for Christmas and I helped her set up her tree, it was really fun, for a moment I thought the earth would open up swallow me, but I am still here loads of laughs. We had many dinners Christmass ham, lots of sweets, her kids were home we gave gifts it was nice, I did not marry this gal, but the Christmass occasion was delightful, I aim to do it again this year with someone new, LOL.
