(((((((((( larrynbabies )))))))) I can't even begin to imagine the pain you are going through. I can't imagine having my children ripped away from me, especially after the tragedy you have gone thru. I hope you will be able to be together soon, as a family.

White Stripes
by clash_city_rockers inso far for album of the year 2003 is the white stripes "elephant".
using vintage instaments and laying them down on an old 8 track give this album an old school flavor.
with the energy of the buzzcocks with an instamental sound of vintage stones

Awesome album, can't stop listening to it. I like the acorn song the best. My husband said the guy talking at the begining of the song sounds like an elder at an assembly, lol.

thrown for a loop by Elder
by integ in'just when i'm about to get out, they keep pulling me back in"- godfather 3.. this quote does'nt truly apply to me, but just when i am convinced there are absolutely no redeemable qualities about the borg this really nice elder comes up to me and very calmly tells me how much i am loved and missed at the meetings, to not feel any pressure, and that jehovah will always be there for me, and that he (the elder) would too.
he had a very calm, serene, quality about him.
came off as truly "spiritual".

I ran into an elders wife in a store a few weeks ago. She gave me a big hug, and said how much she missed me. I thought this was kind of funny, because when I went to meetings, she pretty much ignored me. I find it irritating when people say how much I am missed, because most of thm didn't give me the time of day when I went to meetings. It just seems to me to be a way of luring you back, but once you go back, it will be just like before. They feel it is their duty to encourage you back into the fold.
Don't fall for it!

I know I would have been terribly bummed out too. I always get my hopes up ( and I try so hard not too ), and then bummed out when I don't get the expected reaction. Atleast you tried, and if they do leave the org, they will know they can come to you for support.
Cheer up and think happy thoughts ( sending some happy thoughts your way )!

Nice Guys Vs. Jerks.
by Mecurious? ini'll tell you guys something, being nice doesn't get you anywhere in this world.
being nice gets your heart broken, gets you walked all over, and taken advantage of.
whenever someone sees you as a nice guy, they'll see you as a person they can take advantage of, and you'll let them because you're nice..

I myself was always attracted to the sweet quiet guys, but I have noticed that a lot of women are attracted to jerks. For instance, two of my good friends have both put up with so much crap from their boyfriends. Every time they get cheated on, they swear they won't take the guy back, and next thing you know, BOOM! their back together. This goes on and on, and they keep taking it! They seem to focus on the very few "good times" and forget about all the bad times. A guy friend of mine is the same way. His girl friend (ex at the moment ) has broken their engagement atleast 4 times, and goes out with other guys, yet he always wants her back. I just don't get it. They seem to get off on the abuse. Or worse, they think they deserve it.
So it does seem to be true, girls ( and sometimes guys ) prefer jerks. Sad, but seems to be true. But for all those nice guys out there, don't think you need to be a jerk to get a girl, there still are many women who prefer the good guys. You just have to search for them!

Welcome! So good to have you here.
When you stated that you used to wish your grandmother would die so she could be in the new system, it brought back memories for me. Two of the most wonderful people in the world are my grammie and grampa, yet growing up I was made to believe that they would be destroyed.I was so conflicted in my feelings, did I want them to die now, and then be with them forever in the paradise, or just take what I could get until Armageddon? Certainly not any thing a child should have to worry about. Part of the reason I left JW's was because of teachings like this. If the JW god would destroy two people who were the kindest people any where, then I wanted nothing to do with him.
I look foward to your future posts!

HEART MURMUR !
by Blueblades injust found out that i have a heart murmur !
going for an echogram soon.now i have anxiety!
what do you know about heart murmurs,anyone have it now .i read up on it ,but,still have anxiety about it.i appreciate any infomation that will help me to calm down.

Don't worry yourself over it. Most heart murmurs are harmless. Hopefully yours falls in this catagory. I have had a heart murmur since birth, as have my brother and step sister. Sometimes my sis and brother have to take medicine ( like Amoxycillon ) before seeing the dentist, but that's about it. When I was pregnant with my first son, I had to have a doplar done on my heart ( at that point I had 2 heart murmurs ) to make sure the stress of childbirth wouldn't bother me, and they found it wouldn't. So don't stress yourself over it ( after all, anxiety can't be good for your heart! ), you will probably be just fine.
Please let us know how everything goes. All will be thinking about you!

What bothers me is the statement " Anyone in a responsible position who is guilty of child abuse would be removed from his responsibility without hesitation."
So pedophiles always tell the truth? Say a child claims her father molests her, and he denies it, and there are no other eye witnesses ( why would there be? ), then according to the elders, he's not guilty right? So he gets to keep being an elder or MS or whatever. Accordng to whom is he deemed guilty? If it goes to court, and the court finds him guilty, then do the elders make him step down from his position? Even if they found him not guilty? Does any one know the answer? Just curious. It all maks me ill.

Is politeness out of style?
by JH inmany years ago people seemed more polite to woman, by tipping their hats or holding a door open to let them in.
even in busses, men gave their places if a woman was standing.
does a person look stupid if he is too polite today compared to years ago?.

I wholeheartedly agree with Big Tex. I am polite because that's how I chose to be, and it's the right way to be. If people choose not to appreciate polite behaviour, that's their choice. I don't let it get to me.
I work at a customer service desk at a Supermarket. For me, being polite and going out of your way to please a customer is what it's all about. I don't think this generatin is any worse than any other. I can't tell you how many older people come in with a horrible attitude, yelling and swearing when they don't get what they want. So many people act as if the world owes them something. Years ago people had to wait patientlyfor things, whether it be at a restaraunt or retail store. Nowadays, with fast food and better technology, people expect things right then and there.And if they don't get it, watch out!
For me personally, when I see impolite and rude people, I feel really sorry for them. How sad a life they must lead if they have to nit pick every little detail, and be rude to their neighbor. I choose to be happy, not sweat the small things, and always have a smile on my face ( ok, I try atleast! ).
