Hello Phats, Welcome from The North Pacific.
LL
being my 1st post i figured i should relate a personal experience.
a few months ago i decided to stop reporting time.
i'm mentally out of this cult now but still trapped because of family.
Hello and welcome to JWN. I listened to all 28 minutes.
I am glad you woke up and left.
Thank you for sharing.

do you make use of the head-sweating apparatus?revised reprint from the witchtower, july 2010. .
in a family and in a house where it is available and used, this little all-purpose device surely will obviate the need for a doctor many times.

Wow... I am speechless.
Thank you 'processor' for this.
Unbelieveable .

Midway, through the afternoon's joust, Maid Elaina Rose, left her father the Squire alone, so that her serving woman could take her in hand to meet her betrothed, Sir Gallant, in secret. He had acted so formal and distant with her lately, she just wanted to make sure he was truly in love with her, and not her father's purse. She felt justified in doing this because she had come to care for this man deeply. She needed to know how much he cared or did he care at all.
When they were together, she said to him, "How big of a dowry were you hoping for when we wed?" He said, "My dear, you are all that I desire", smiling hugely.
She said, " Oh Sir , just as I had hoped. You do love me! My father said if I marry you, he will not give us a dime!"
He said in anguish, "Surely you jest!!"
Sadly, she had her answer.

Dear Diary, Last night by the lake, in our tent, among all the other tired campers, too many people were snoring. It was like a snorefest ! lol
I don't know which lucky camper should have won the prize for being the loudest! It was a sympathy of sawing logs!
The mosquitoes swarming outside must have enjoyed the snorer's music, because they stayed around all night. How do I know?
Because between the snorer's notes, and my air mattress going flat, I was squirming all night trying to find a comfy spot to sleep, but I couldn't.
On my way to the car, the mosquitoes attacked me like they hadn't seen warm flesh all year! Ouch. And ouch. Smack... got one... smack , got another one, etc , etc. lol
So here I write by the early summer sun, in the car, with the seat all the way back, trying to relax, possibly even to sleep. lol . But now the birds are up, giving their morning "Here I am" "Where are you?" call to each other.
Camping. There is nothing quite like it.

or to be 'zebagain'.. i have not been able to log on and asked for my pw.
even though i know it well.. i was sent the pw for 'zeb' the name i had to drop when the gremlins struck this computer and i re-enrolled as 'zebagain'.. curioser and curioser....
You guys! lol
I have a friend who named her boys Josh , Jake and Jed. (Her husband's name started with J, too)
Very confusing. lol
Imagine having 2 boys and calling one Zeb and the next one Zed.
Good night from the North Pacific

it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.
i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.
i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!
-----> Stumbleline ... I am so sorry that happened to you.
I have read other people's JC, and they more or less say the same thing.
Personally, I would like to hear from Elder's if they sat in on JC's and heard other Elder's asking such deep and unnecessary probing questions.
There is no reason for this.
Does this mean there is a percentage of Elder's that are perverts?

PS I have already discussed my WTF moment. I chimed in to lend Stumbeline support.

BBQing steak on a stake on your patio would your vegetarian neighbors think the aroma in the air stank?

Shirley called out "Harry, did you go into the stinky old basement?"
Harry said, "That place was hairy with spiders. I kid you not."
Frank said, "Surely then you did not go, spiders tend to scare you so."
To be frank with you, I don't know what to do.

As he opened the cellar door,
The fusty, dank smell of decay filled his lungs.
His only thought was to run out into the hot sunshine and take in great gutsy, lusty gulps of fresh air.
But instead, he was transfixed by the sight he saw.
