  First post after a year or two of lurking on this site-Sorry for the length!

  not sure of the point of telling my story, but just got off the phone with my grandma and i am so angry, stressed and i don't know what else...i guess i just wanted to hear from someone other than my husband that i'm not crazy for my reaction to family interaction.. my condensed story gramatical errors and all :).

  father was a born in jw, mother was a convert.

  i was born the last of 3 siblings and shortly after my birth in 1981 my parents divorced.

  Here in Australia guns are not so widely accepted.

  i have never even touched one.

  It does look like you guys were having a great time.

  I have no right to judge anyone (left that behind in the cult) and dont have a firm argument for or against. Given the opportunity I would probably decline to have one at home. Its all too scary for me lol.

  It sounds like you are a good Dad who loves his cute little boy. Nice to see you two bonding over a hobby, instead of dragging him to another boring, waste of time meeting or ass-embly.

  i'm sitting here at the mtg, and i can't believe the mind numbing stupidity of this weeks wt "study"...( i use the word study loosely too by the way...).

  how many dumb repeated questions can be posed to try and make a point?.

  the opening paragraph illustration re blindness is classic!

  so as not to hijack logcon's thread about crazy things jw's have said to householders, i'd like to start one about just plain old odd jw's.. for example, i knew this dear, dear senior brother who would carry a small bag of peanuts in one pocket of his suit coat and a small plastic bag of brown sugar in the other.. during that time, we would stay out all day long because the territory was extensive.. can't you just picture that precious soul alternately tossing a few peanuts/crumbs of sugar into his mouth as he schlepped from house to trailer, from trailer to house?.

  the householders would usually offer us water, lemonade, kool-aid, or soda pops, so no problem with finding something to quench our thirsts.. those were the days!.

  Or the Bro who insists on opening the screen door and stepping over the threshold to call out "anyone there"? Only to completely ignore their negative, often furious body language while he insists on giving a sermon and not letting them get a word in.

  So many disrespectful jWs still out there.

  The deaf, mute brother that will only work with the brother who doesnt speak a word of understandable english....They are both regular pioneers. Its plain embarrasing to watch them go door to door and confuse people. lol

  my dear old dad was the po of a congregation.

  he had been in the british marines during ww2.. one jolly day we were in the coach park at twickenham convention.. dad was watching the brothers and sisters getting off the coaches.. he looked at me and said quite pained: 'they all look like loonies.'.

  i kid you not..

  Hang on to those good memories Uncy Punky the cult didnt leave us many nice ones. He sounds like a real character! Well you must have his sense of humour. I like to imagine those that have passed are somewhere out there happily knowing TTATT and giving us the thumbs up. He would be so proud of his 'punky'. xx

  Go but turn the tables on their ridiculous beliefs of anniversaries vs birthdays. We all know that its the same thing.

  If a store has a birthday party a JW wont go but if they have an anniversary JWs are ok with it.

  Go along and tell them its offensive as its too much like a birthday party and its selfish to have a day thats all about them, heaven forbid there be a cake there. Oh and those wedding rings they wear... pagan!!

  Ha ha, go and have a bit of fun and make them as uncomfortable as they like to make others feel.
