since it's now the worldly, pagan celebration day known as "valentine's day", i was wondering, did you send or receive any valentine's cards?
do you feel "guilty" about it?
mrs ozzie loved hers!
(((((((mac))))))
I remember those days.They sucked!
..get anyone in trouble.
what i thought was a good idea....seemed to be a bad one.
innocently, i wanted to send each person here a valentine card.
April, Thanks so much for the Valentine. I'm sure it will be the only one I get. Growing up in the "troof", oftentimes a school mate would give me a Valentine. I would hide it from my mom, and hope she wouldn't find it! Now as an adult, if I get any type of holiday card, I have to hide it from my husband! lol Some things never change!
Any way,thanks again. Don't worry about the one person who didn't appreciate your gesture. I imagine she was just having a really bad day, and is now embarrassed about her behavior. She is most likely hanging her head in shame, and is afraid to come apologise, knowing the beating she'd get from all of us!
Now you go and have a wonderful Valentines Day,ok?
Hugs and Kisses!

i was reading in the queer as folk thread and it was mentioned about how women can be oppressed sexually.
well this play is about how women should not be oppressed and how we should be comfortable with all parts of our bodies.
i recommend that every woman see this play.
They taped one of the shows,and I saw it on one of the movie channels.It was great! I would recommend it to everyone. If there is no live show available for one to see, you can rent it from your local video store.
ok the weirdest thing just happened to my coworker and i. we went to go pickup our breakfast from accross the street.
when we got back to our building we walked over to the elevators and as we turned the corner we saw someone get into the elevator before it closed.
we didnt see the person exactly but we saw their leg or whatever passthrough before the door closed.
Golden Girl,
Yeah,my hubby is a witness.I asked him if he'd gotten enough sleep lately....lol......I also told him maybe medication was necessary!
I told him no worries...it was just my boyfriend trying to sneak out without being caught!

My husband is convinced that he's seen a man in a trench coat in our hallway a couple times...he is convinced it's a demon.I asked him how come I've never seen him,since I'm the apostate....he said satan already has me.Whatever....doesn't make much sense to me!
were you treated differently?
were you shown more compassion?
My mom became a witness when I was 4,my dad never became one.My dad didn't care too much....he was glad he didn't have to spend money buying us b-day and x-mas gifts.He let my mom do what she wanted.They divorced when I was 9.When we would go visit him,we would have so much witness guilt embedded in us,that even if he wanted to celebrate something with us,we wouldn't allow it,for fear my mom would find out.We certainly didn't have the best of both worlds!
Now I am the unbelieving mate,and I know my kids suffer because of it.I am an inactive baptised witness,and as much as I'd like to do certain things(such as holidays,etc)with my kids,I don't,because I don't want to cause problems in my marriage.The one thing my kids do know,is that whatever decisions they make,I will be there to back them up.I do wish that I had that when I was growing up!My dad wasn't around enough to support me if I didn't want the troof growing up,and my mom certainly would not have supported me if I didn't.
when we were in the org, we had to watch our language, and speak correctly and never swear.
people knew we were jw's just by the way we dressed, but also by the way we talked.
do you still talk in the same polite way as before?edited by - jh on 4 february 2003 19:29:28.
Nina,
That is soooo funny.When you make it a point not to swear around kids, if you do slip up, (even once) they never ever let you forget it! My husband said a swear word once (and he's the one who goes to the hall...lol) and my kids don't ever let him forget it!

I swear sometimes when I am with friends.
I never swear at home or in front of my children.They get enough of that at school.
I love the fact that all my friends are "worldly" so I don't have to be worried I will say the wrong thing all the time!
...what lesson my husband's mom is wanting to mail to us?
she emailed today and said she wanted to ask if we are still getting any watchtowers in the mail or if someone brings them to us because in the march 15th magazine is a very good lesson she wishes we would read.
i'm just wondering if someone has the mag and can tell us what lesson she is talking about.
hmmmm.....found the magazine......not quite sure what article your mother in law wants you to see.The study articles seem to be about being patient if we have questions that don't seem to be answered....to wait on Jehovah and not drift away.quote "When Jehovah provides direction by means of his Word,his spirit,and his earthly organization,let us listen carefully.If we do so,Jehovah will bless us...."
Then there is an article "the lips of truth will endure forever".Not quite sure which of these stands out in her mind.They're all mindless drivel.
