  Lesbian protest kiss at convention during CO's talk... taking it too far?

  by Joliette in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had the funniest thought at work...what if me and three apostate friends protest at a convention, and right before the song during a c.o's talk, we got up, and pretended like we were gonna do a normal sister embrace, and then, out of no where, me and the other 'sister' do would a long lesbian kiss while the c.o.

  is giving a talk on fornication....what do you guys think the audience would do?.

  It will just reinforce their idea about Apostates..that they haven't got a brain and are exhibitionists..

  I would rather do something to make them realize Apostates have a brain..and that's why they are no longer JW's..

  Second hand emotions and human consciousness

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an emotion is an arbitrary, personal and wholly subjective physical reaction.

  an emotion is a physical reaction to the value placed on something.

  in short, an emotion is an appraisal.

  87 Taurus to Salvation Army..had brand new tires on it too.Over $600. worth..I got a $700. write off from it..

  I hope it helped someone needy and someone else didn't cash in off of it.

  As they say on "The Hoarders" show..It's not the object it's the memory that's valuable!

  I had a lot of really good memories of the car but I also had a lot of unpleasant ones..I just had a really hard time letting go for some reason,probably because it was my first new car I bought.

  Who would you have Lunch With? From JWN?

  the last few years "warren buffet.

  " has donated his time to the highest bidder for charity.

  the ebay auction usually goes for $100,000 to spend lunch-time and pick his brain on his view.

  When another family member carries a grudge like your brother is there is really nothing you can do. If you make up it will just happen again down the road..he needs to get counseling for the problem in him..you can't fix it. It may not even have anything to do with you in all reality.

  Be there for him? That can get pretty frustrating for you after a while. You feel like you are on a rollar coaster of emotions..

  Unresolved issues never just "go away".

  Divided Households... Can anyone relate?

  by garyneal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some of you may know, ours is a 'divided household.

  ' a term use by jehovah's witnesses to describe households where one spouse is in 'the truthtm' and the other one isn't.

  in some of them (like mine) the 'unbelieving spouse' (ubm) may actually express a faith in the god of the bible and in christianity and perhaps even go to church.

  "Her mother was JW, her dad was Catholic. He didn't allow JW things spoken in the house, nor was my grandmother allowed to bring the kids to meetings. She only told them a few things, but the rest of their religious training was in Catholicism. Out of 8 kids, 3 are active JW's, 1 is semi-active but seems to be waking up, 1 is inactive, 1 is DF'ed and has been for as long as I can remember and NEVER wants to go back, and 2 were never baptized. So 5 out of 8 are pretty much not in the organization. Those are pretty good odds...OH and NONE of the grandkids are JW's anymore...Well, one is, but is completely awake, but trapped. "

  I am surprised any of them ever became witnesses, Mom must have really worked a number on them behind closed doors..

  exwhyzee...very well said!

  My kids grew up thinking that my non JW side of the family was bad and any friends I had from school...I didn't know it for years. I took my child to a counselor after leaving the JW's and the counselor interviewed her .That's what my daughter told her...Hubby's side was good.They were all JW's and mine weren't. My family never said one mean word about my JW hubby or his family but they constantly enjoyed making jokes about my side of the family and how they would die at armageddon in front of the grandkids..

  Makes me mad just remembering..

  I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!

  it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???

  why could i not shut up???

  I too had to make the choice to stay or go..I stayed. It was miserable in the last years as he because even more attached to the religion. He planned on retiring and pioneering..Life just didn't seem to be working out like I planned for us. To retire and travel..

  I had to endure days of nothing but preaching..condemnation for me and the world..(and our grown children and their families).

  Oompa..NO ONE should have to listen to that. No one!

  I loved hubby dearly and miss him but since he passed away it has been so peaceful and the world is once again beautiful.

  I feel like I am normal again!

  You have to make your own decision of which you prefer..

  Peace and a fullfilled heart..

  Or constant disapproval and a world that is painted black by someone everyday..

  Best of luck in your decision..

  Hugs, Snoozy

  ps..We often remember the good times and forget the bad with a person..remember what made you miserable in the first place! ..don't remember things through rose colored glasses..remember them as they actually were.

  yet another visit from jw's at our door, demanding to speak to only my husband and claiming to be friends of "his family".

  it has reached the point that i contacted the sherriff's department and was informed to sent a certified letter to the local kingdom hall.. dh hasn't been a "witness" since his teen years.

  i had a falling out with the in-laws (avid jw's) over them hitting our daughter while we were on vacation visiting them.

  You have a choice..make plans to get out ..or stay and suffer 75 % of the time..It doesn't sound like you and your feelings are being respected but merely tolerated.

  It doesn't get any better when you are married to a JW or they are strongly attached to their JW family.

  I stayed and was miserable even tho I loved him to death..Now that he has passed away I can see how abused I was in many ways by hubby and his mom and sister. ( All JW's)
  No one should be allowed to say the hurtful things they (JW's) can say and get away with it. It's up to you if you want to put up with it or not.

  I am sympatetic to what you are going through but remember we all determine our own happiness. Don't complain if others mistreat you and disrespect you and you allow it.

  Unless you want to be like the woman in the Feb Magazine they just put out and let them wipe their feet on you so to speak...
