  LMAO, When hubby & I were dating he decided to impress me by lighting a fart (some weird guy thing I guess). He decided to do it through his undies. Big mistake, almost lit the undies on fire, and just left an awful stink. Such a disappointment, I was looking forward to some type of flame thrower spectacle! Yup, I still married him. -Leslie-

  new here, my story

  i'm not sure why i felt a need to find this site and write my story about my experiences with the jw religion.

  it's been pretty far in my past, but it still had an impact, and maybe i'm just being a bit reflective, having past 40 years of age and expecting my 2nd child next year.

  maybe also being reflective having just attended a catholic babtism for my wife's cousin's daughter and seeing organized religion in action again.. my mom became a jw long before i was born - she's in her 80's now.

  Do you think theres such a thing as a "normal person"

  by londonlady in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was trying to think of all the many many people i've ever met and conculded that none of them could be termed "normal".

  some of them might have seemed normal to start with but on further inspection most definatly not!.

  in answer to the obvious question no i do not think i'm normal neither, i don't think i would want to be either.

  Not really. Unless we are using ourself as the example of normal then anyone not like us is abnormal. Leslie

  Cranky old man

  by still thinking in

  ``when an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.. later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, they found this poem.

  its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies.

  were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.. one nurse took her copy to melbourne .. the old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for mental health.

  That is very touching. I'm bawling my eyes out. It is so very sad because it is so true. It is a reminder to us to look beyond what we see on the outside and remember the person still buried deep inside.Leslie

  I had another visit from a JW

  by KristiKay in

  2. friends

  some of you may remember my story, i studied with a women for 6 months, after about 3' i realized what a corrupt organization it was and spent the rest of the time trying to get her to see what was going on with the watchtower org.

  she has been a jw fo 50 years, completly brainwashed so i ended the study.

  a few days ago a nice gentelman rang our doorbell (woke us up) and i heard my husband sayin "you might be interested in talking to my wife,but she is not here" i ran down the stairs with sleep in my eyes, tried to get myself together as best as i could, and told him that he really needs to look into his organisation, mentioned how the greek nwt is changed, told him he needs to "make sure of all things" read coc, i told him it was a shame to devote his life to a dishonest org, and he has to look into it.

  As always, an excellent review. So glad I don't have to sit through that tripe anymore. There is no freedom inside the organization. They put rules in force that have absolutely no basis in scripture. I felt like I was living in a glass box that everyone was watching just to find something to pick at, even if only trivial. Live in a Paradise forever like this? No thanks. Leslie

  Any born-ins have this attitude about converts?

  by Nambo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so there was this great gang of us, from south london, manchester and wolverhampton, went to socialise with a group in fishguard in wales.. amongst the conversations one of the single sisters stated, "i could never marry anybody who used to be in the world".. i guess a lifetime of knocking on doors had given her the impression there couldnt possibly be a convert in her midst, never mind later alone with her in her mgb.. so whats with this, did you think we had rat scabies or were possesed by demons or something?.

  Nambo, have a quick experience to share. In my congo we had a single brother in his 40's who was looking for a mate. He had dated a few sisters and then found one he was very interested in. To make a long story short, she was not always a JW. I guess he assumed wrongly that his 30 something love interest was a virgin. As expected she was not. When he found this out the relationship came to an abrupt end. She was a lovely person and he threw her away due to non-JW past behaviour. Fool! Leslie

  Shirley W & Farkel, I remember the old green songbook. I noticed later on that a lot of the songs sounded like church songs. There was one song that had the line.....our calls for succor he quickly supplies. As a kid I thought it said.....our calls for suckers he quickly supplies. Couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting any lollipops. lol Leslie
