i just wanted to share this.....i have not been to meetings for a year....one of the elders came to.
our door for my husband....who is an elder.....i am not dis'a or dis'f....just in hiding...(long story).
i do not socialize so seldom if ever see anyone.....he visited for a few minutes then they left together.....that night and for the next 2 weeks i had severe night mares....i would cry and sob so.
hello ugg
its just the demons trying to discourage you....
That was my familys standard answer for any problem that came up.
I grew up thinking the demons had nothing better to do than follow around
a poor farmboy from montana, corrupting my every move
ok here's your chance...not neccesarily your favorite,but what you think is the best one....one vote apiece please... .
mine is he stopped loving her today by george jones...i love the sentiment,that he loved her til the day he died.

My Own Prison-Creed
sometimes when i think back about when i was a dub, i get a little embarrassed.
i remember telling my kids not to draw on watchtower mags (i also had to tell their mother) i was a grown man and would let nerd elders counsel me for dumb things, like saying the word luck, or bulletin board.
i remember getting to the end of the month and not having the cong average field service time and start to worry what the other elders and co would say.
damn, i should have known someone would come by and spell 'marklar' correctly

The life of a dub kid is Hell! Only dub kids will truely know what i mean..OUTLAW
you can say that again...I was the only male witness kid that attended public
school in the town i grew up in. Being singled out in front of an entire school
over and over is far to much for a child to understand. If i have kids someday,
i would never want them to have to go through what i did.

ok, now that i have your attention................................... it seems like most of the witnesses i know, and who have posted here, say their parents kept them in the dark about sex.
do you agree?
my parents never discussed it at all- in fact- if they did- or saw a love scene on tv- my mom would always say "thats disgusting' (yeah, right mom) .
the closest thing i ever got to a 'birds & bees" talk was having to read
the chapter on masterbation in the YOUTH BOOK outloud in front of my
parents when i was 12 or 13.
Should we ever have a book burning party, lets start with that one!
would someone who was a jw all his life (24 years) know he's not suppose to be giving/receiving oral sex?
is it possible he might not have heard about this rule?
does it not apply if the person is disfellowshipped?
welcome to the board seawolf
I have nothing to add either

i am cassilines husband.
i know cassiline has alot of friends that monitor this board so i thought i would post a surgery status on cassiline to let everyone who cares about her know how everything is going.
first of all, i would like to say thank you to the owner of this board, friends and aquintances of cassinline, for all the help you have provided not olny for her but for others that are out there with problems who seek the assistance from people that have a similar state of understanding about the jw religion.
((((((cassi)))))
hope you have a speedy recovery
i am a "newbie" that has been "lurking" and commenting on a couple of posts over the last six months.
i was somewhat intimidated by some of the comments on the board so i didn't feel comfortable in introducing myself.
since simon seems to be dealing with some of the more "aggressive" posters i felt the time had come to introduce myself.
hello patricia, and welcome to the board
this gem is from the aug.1st wt.
it tells about how in one south american country, every year witnesses walk for miles through the jungle and then travel for hours by canoe just to make the convention.
it is not uncommon for someone to fall into the river or to snag his garments on a bush,therefore their appearance is not quite appropriate.they look somewhat disheveled.

perhaps a better question for this paragraph would be:
"Should witnesses drink while canoeing to the convention?"
