looking at the different ways my sister and i approach life, i'd decided people are either peaches or they're lobsters.
my sister is all tough and crusty on the outside.
you'd never know if something is bothering her.
Yeah JGNAT!
Don't they grow on trees in Canada??
I have two peach trees in the back yard. Idaho touches the Canada lines.
You and hubby can buzz down next summer and eat your fill. OK?

It just dawned on me, that you may be too far north to grow peach trees.
Guess I am not all here tonight.
i had sent dale a copy of my da letter, and a personal one.
i showed only kindness, though disgust with the organizations' moral bankruptcy and doctrinal miscues.
yet the robotic mind sees all things in a twisted light of god/organization.
Maybe I am different. But I see anger and fear In your dear friend. Only an angry person would use such words and the fear based on the tiny little thought that maybe you and not the dear friend are correct.
All of this lurking in his mind just behind the one way door to his part of brain that is trying to reason while overwhelmed with the usual jw confusion.
I hope the wbts hurts him deeply. Maybe this will wake him up.

a bible verse says " ..the one planting the ear can he not listen?
".
Well not lately. I am really a little afraid, that if I think I hear God, It could be schizophrenia.
Over the years I have spoken to him a lot. Never got a response (verbally), but what I asked for did come to pass a few times??
Was that his answer? I would like to think so.
How about you Fisherman?? God ever speak to you??

Peaches are my favorite fruit. Also the reason behind my many spankings by mom after she finds the peach tree almost empty.
If not peaches, I will eat almost any fruit. I like them all.

It is very difficult for almost everyone on this forum to NOT sound like they truly detest the Jehovah's Witnesss when it is actually the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society that they detest .
Since it is from them that all the commands and orders and demands come from and are delivered to each and every one and family of Jehovah's witnesses.
Having a christmas tree in your house to celebrate christ will almost always cause the parents to be excommunicated. Which always brings on shunning which means loss of friends, children, parents, siblings. If you don't grovel before the elders of the congregation and plead to never do this again.
Or to continue speaking to one of your friends or relatives that has been excommunicated.
Or refuse to obey them and let the hospital transfuse blood to your dying child or mother or wife.
For any of these things and a host more they will tear your family and friends apart.
How do I know these things? This is how my family was destroyed along with my marriage.

i want to contact my adult children and let them know i do love them.
they only 2 out of 4 called me and when they thought i would die from cancer wanted to get something.
i do really love my kids ages 26 to 32 and am so depressed tonite.
Hambeak, if anyone says to you, that you would be better off dead.
You need to consider some thing. The word is "detach".
To (remove, disconnect, disengage, etc. (FOR A PURPOSE).
To maintain your self respect. If we pursue a relation with a person that would say that to us, we are asking to be mistreated and loathed.
You deserve better than that. As I see it the person that said that to you should be loathed.
(detest and abhor) such a revolting person.

i remember being a teenager and my hormones were on overdrive.
the young witnesses i knew, male and female, were all feeling the same thing.
we would bring up sex, in one form or another, all the time.
Well there is hope, even for the most disappointed ex Jw's among you.
I married a young 17 yr' old jw girl with some experience with sex, when I was a 20 yr' old with NO sexual experience. She married to get away from mother and family. She never really enjoyed sex, maybe due to my ignorance and trying to follow the wbts rules.
In 12 yrs, of marriage and 4 children. The youngest one was only 18 months old. She decided she never wanted a husband and 4 children and abandoned Our family, not to be seen again for 24 yrs.
Married another jw 9 years younger than me and sex was not much of a source of pleasure for her and was a disappointment for me. Why? I think it was a lack of experience and being raised in a jw family for me and or a family where she was molested.
After another divorce and me being df'd I met and married a "worldly" ( I hate that word ) woman who actually taught me what good sex is.
Unfortunately she passed away.
I have known a lady for a while that is 73 y'rs old and I am 70 . She was in the area and came to visit.
Fortunately that part of our bodies is still functioning for us both. We had some of the best sex I have ever had last night and we awoke this morning and did it again.
So there is still hope for you youngsters if you get rid of the jw mindset and begin to trust some of those evil people who do not like the jw's demands. Being kind gentle and not aftaid to ask your partner what it is they like and do not like.
Do not even let the thought of what might be right or wrong enter your mind.
Concentrate on what the other one wants and please them as you tell what you like, and how good they are at it.
Then both focus on what pleases the other, along with some kind and loving comments and praise and thank your partner for the pleasure as you receive it, not tomorrow.
Relax and try any new activity while You explain it and ask, is this ok to try??
See, it is not so difficult.

i have been out of jws for about three years, husband still goes and brings out two young girls.
he has been really withdrawn lately, eating less, not interested in sex.
i thought he was moping because i recently had a birthday party for our young daughter and because of halloween activities.
This is a bit different than most. Usually it is the husband asking for help with his wife. Not always though.
What has been suggested many times, is to treat your mate with all the love and caring you can give. Let them "feel" your love for them in a very genuine way , Not just telling them that they are loved and loveable. But prove it with your actions.
Give them time to understand that you truly do love them and will not leave.
Go slowly with bringing up the faults and lies from the wbts. Analyze their personalities and in little ways leave a note off the internet or something that will catch their attention, without you saying anything .
But above all be kind and loving and caring, don't let the jw beliefs get too far between you and hubby move slowly.

does anyone have any dub urban legend stories?.
i remember a story running rampant when i was in my pre-teenage years that went a little something like this:.
word on the street was that a young child went to the circuit assembly with his parents.
Up until 1978 I was active and an elder. Then moved and refused to be an elder any longer.
For some reason that pissed off the elders/co's etc.
From that time on I just faded away until 1992 when the elders found a charge they could use to df me.
I am the only jw I have heard of that was df'd for " fits of rage". This was right after I told the elders they needed the shit kicked out of them and went after one, but my son grabbed me and wouldn't let me.
All during that time, I never heard anything about a smurf. I did hear the one about the two angels and the sister.
