  If One More Person Calls Me "Boo" LOL

  by PublishingCult in

  2. friends

  seems to be the trend today to call another, a friend or loved one, "boo".

  it was cute about five years ago when it was seldom used.. it's old, it's overdone, it's done by everyone, it should stop now.

  find a new pet name you damned boo-hooers .

  When I was ready to quit the JWs, I had already tolerated over a year of psychological abuse by the Witnesses in our congregation. They excluded me from Field Service™ arrangements, they gossiped about me, they made up lies about me, they'd treat me like a DFd person by turning their backs to me when I'd walk up to them at the KH to say hello. Mr Scully had witnessed most of these incidents. When I told him that I wasn't going to go Door-to-Door™ anymore, I said that my conscience wouldn't permit me to try and invite unsuspecting people to join our congregation, knowing what a pit of vipers it had turned out to be. I told my parents the same thing - there was no way I was going to go to someone's door, and LIE TO THEM, tacitly conveying that the congregation I belonged to was a shining example of the love that Jesus promised would be evident among his true disciples.

  There were no further arguments, and within a few months, Mr Scully was ready to quit the JWs as well. He, too, realized that there was no love in that congregation, and every other congregation we had belonged to. Every time we moved (more than 10 times in the first 10 years of our marriage), it was the same story - it wasn't just a local anomaly.

  Kelle Jarka must have not gotten the "do not kill" memo.

  Neither did Leon Slack, Christian Longo or Robert Bryant, or any of these individuals who were known as JWs.

  she was telling me about some old JW friends she found on Facebook......

  The WTS has advised JWs to avoid the use of social networking sites like Facebook. Does your mom know that?

  no racial slur here.

  literal!.

  about 20 minutes ago, while working in the yard, the banny rooster who is always threatening me and others [we have several free-range chickens not a farm], decided to approach and feign a flogging.

  the watchtower ?

  july 15, 2011 (p17).

  10 pauls warning about false stories is part of his first letter to timothy, a christian overseer who was charged with preserving the purity of the congregation and helping fellow believers to remain faithful.

  How about the fact that the WT never even bothered to tell us what greek word they were referring to!!!? I find that most absurd!

  Yes, it's downright OFFENSIVE!

  I know some people are planning to get a reverse mortgage, but personally, I think that's one of the worst things you can do if you own your home outright. Don't think the financial institutions haven't figured out all the angles to make it to YOUR benefit over THEIRS.

  I loved school, I loved reading, I loved exploring in encyclopediae and dictionaries when I was a kid. Lots of JWs in my congregation told me that I was "too smart for my own good". They didn't like it that a girl was well-read and excelled academically.

  Unfortunately, Nathan, primitive superstitions often come hand-in-hand with a Convert-or-We'll-Kill-You clause.
