I must admit, I liked going out in service. I was good at it too! I had several Bible studies going at the time I quit. (insert blushing face here since I can't get any of the little icons to show up except the smiling one)

Women. Periods, and how to cope with them .....
by Celtic inputs plugs in his ears from the start.. now, it don't seem to be my imagination, but many ladies for some inexplicable reason seem a tad unreasonable at least once a month where anything i do seems to be wrong in their eyes.
most ruddy irksome it is from a guys point of view i can tell ee.
here we are, quite happy in our own right, say something to this here balmpot, and wowwwwww irritable utterances just tumble forth with such degrees of unreasonableness tis almost funny to observe, but dare i laugh in their presence whilst she be in this most unpredictable of states?

Wouldn't it be cool if we could get our periods to disappear with Yardirfs apostrophes?

Why do the apostrophes disappear when posting?

So if I'm to understand this correctly, Friday's apostateapostraphes disappear to be "in his face" (bug him)? And the smurfs are behind it? It looks like the WTS was right about them at least.

I didn't get to read your story before so I'm glad you reposted it.
I too can relate to wanting to feel normal. I never felt like I fit in anywhere for a long time before I became a witness and awhile after I left. I didn't really start to feel normal until I realized that 'normal people' are as screwed up or screwier than I am. LOL
After that realization, I stopped worrying about fitting in with a bunch of misfits and *presto* began fitting right in.

Fruit Having Youth-sustaining Benefits!
by Yadirf inthis idea of mine, which i quote below, i think is sound.
i still stick to it because i think that it clears up a lot of confusion regarding *the two trees* and their purposes for being in the garden of eden: .
aside from the variety of other trees which jehovah provided for the daily needs of the first human pair, god had placed two especially necessary trees in the "middle of the garden.

Personally Yardirf, I think that they story about Adam and Eve is a parable. While I do try to understand the meaning behind the story, I don't think it's a story about literal 'trees'.

my story
by little witch inhi everybody.. this is my first post.
i have been reading the forums for some time, but have not posted til now, as it brings painful memories.. my experience with the jw's began in 1967, when my mother was killed in a car crash, and my father married a jw six months later.
we were a ''blended family''.

Hi Littlewitch! I'm sorry that you had to live like that for so long, but glad it made you see the JW's perfect society for what it is. If you would have had such an unloving upbringing from someone other than the the Stepmonster you'd have been a prime candidate for assimilation at a later date.
I'm glad you're free.

The tree of the knowledge of good and bad gave them exactly that: knowledge of good and bad. They suddenly saw that they were naked for example. Soley a testing tree or "carrot" could have been a simple apple tree. But this tree actually did something, and is very telling as to the innocence of Adam and Eve prior to eating of it.
I don't think they gained the knowledge of good and bad at all when they ate from the tree.
In this story, God said that it was 'Good' after He made the 'naked' humans. They were 'good' , but when they ate, they saw their nakedness as bad. To me, that indicates their 'eyes' were closed, rather than opened. They couldn't tell the difference between good and bad anymore.
I think when they ate they got confused rather than enlightened in any way.

In an act of protest against his being ousted from the exJW congregation, Fred Hall begins construction of the largest kitty litter box in the world...across the street from one of the exJW's he holds responsible for his dismissal.
