  Believing Everything Someone Tells You

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are you the type of person that believes everything a person says?.

  typically, my radar goes up, especially if a person either brags about all his or her accomplishments or tells you a sob story about how awful their life is.. i was reading here today about how some posters have been upset with others for either feeling someone is fraudulent or is uncaring or caring too much.. the funny thing is that most of us never really know who or what a person/poster is all about.

  they could be perfectly upfront and tell you everything in a most truthful way or they could be conning you.

  MIL is a JW

  by tika in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mil who was raised a jw and raised my dh a jw is always doing something to get attention.

  i don't invite her over or to do anything anymore because when we do all she whines about is how no one ever wants to call her or do anything with her.

  how annoying, who would want to spend time with someone like that!

  Well my jw Mil did something right..she had her son wrapped around her finge. He was always worried about her and wanted to go help her as much as possible...I alwys went with him after the kids were grown and helped also..but I found myself more and more doing the work and them two sitting on the porch talking about "The new world"...I felt like I had Loser on my forehead...

  The final straw was when I was cutting her acres of grass (she lived on a farm) and they (Her and hubby) were sitting on the porch laughing at me . I later found out it was because I was going over the same area of grass a couple of times.What I was doing was cutting up the big chunks of grass that bunched up so she wouldn't trip over them when walking to the barn. Again there was that "Loser" sign...

  She gripped about the grown grandkids never coming to see her so they (I) put together a BBQ just for her at one of the grandkids houses..hubby and I went and picked her up..(a three hour trip) when we got to my daughters house all the grandkids and their families (non JW's) were there with open arms..my MIL just parked herself in the corner the whole time..hardly talking to anyone.She was happier gripping about them not coming to see her then she was seeing them all.

  Well my JW hubby died and I haven't seen or heard from her since. She had her jw daughter and her husband move from NY to come and live with her.I guess they are doing her bidding now....she wasn't too fond of her jw son in law...wonder if they killed each other yet?

  Good luck with yours...I don't think I have ever talked with a jw that wasn't negative most of the time...having had been one for 15 years I still find myself being that way sometimes ...I have to stop myself...

  I am trying to understand my cat

  by Fisherman in

  like i said on a previous thread, this is my first cat.

  this cat always follows me around and demands to be petted all of the time.

  he wants to be carried all of the time.

  Cats have a bone right under their ear and above their jawline that they love to be rubbed.That's why he rubs your hand or whatever else is handy. They will purr and slobber all over you if you do this..

  They also learn quickly how far you will let them go.When you get up from a chair they quickly awake and relocate themselves to YOUR spot!
  Remove him immediately and put him in another spot or he will become the pack leader..

  I have had several cats when I was a teen and when my kids were younger..I have NO need for them now!Mostly because they won't let me be the packleader!

  If I want to pet a cat I just go to my daughters house and pet hers. The way he follows me around and wants attention all the time climbs on my lap and drools all over me, throws up his latest delight at the drop of a bucket...drags his cat liter and poop all over her house....not for me.

  I know a lot of people say its good to have a pet when you are older..it keeps you from getting lonely and it is good for you.

  Well I figure I did my share of cat petting and cleaning up after..I cherish my time alone now with no demands being made on me.
  When I stayed at my daughters overnight..the cat would go on the prowl and he had this long drawn out yowl that would make you sit straight up in bed! I don't need that either...

  I like pets but not at my house...I've cleaned up after enough of them..plus I don't want to see them suffer when they get sick or die.

  I like my freedom to go when I please for as long as I please without worring about a pet also.

  Snoozy..who likes animals but not at her place...
  ps...my Brother has 5 cats..he takes in all the strays!

  I am having a bad day

  by Vivamus in

  it is wearing me down.. my constant companion in life, my skull-breaking- mind-blowing- daily migraines finally got the better off me six months ago.

  i broke down, i cried and cried and cried.

  not only cuz of the pain, but more for the fact that painkillers were not helping me anymore.

  I too suffered from bad headaches. So bad I had to lay in the dark and not move my head. If I moved I would get sick.

  I finally went to the Dr because one day I got dizzy and it wouldn't go away. He said I had High blood pressure. it was 140/90.

  Now that didn't seem real high to me but he prescribed Atenenol for me plus a water pill.

  It was supposed to be for the high blood pressure but I had no more headaches. I believe Atenenol expands the veins so more blood can get through.

  Years later I was watching TV and all of a sudden I saw what was like looking through a kaleidoscope. That was all I could see..I panicked and went to see a eye specialist.He said it was a migraine without the pain!...He said itf I ever had a headache with the kaleidoscope vision to get to a Dr right away..that was over 20 years ago..no more problem.

  I might add that my triglycerides were over 1000 when I first went to the Dr with the headaches.I managed to bring them down with diet and excercise.The point is that you really need a complete blood workup and possibly stress management.You seem quite young so it could even be a hormone imbalance. If one Dr can't find it..see another!. I was lucky I found a good Dr right away.

  I feel for you...Snoozy

  edited to add and correct spellingI wanted to add that my daughter has bad headaches..her Dr put her on Amitriptyline and it helps her. She also has high blood pressure in the Dr office but it goes up and down which is hard to treat.Last time she went in it was normal..so they won't put her on blood pressure meds yet. But it could be going up when she has her headaches..next time she gets a headache I am going to have her take her blood pressure.

  A new monk.....

  by Snoozy in

  a new monk arrives at the monastery.

  he is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand.. he notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books.

  so, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this.

  He notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books. So, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

  The head monk says" We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
  So he goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

  Hours later, nobody has seen him. So, one of the monks goes downstairs to look for him. He hears a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, and finds the old monk leaning over one of the original books crying. He asks what's wrong.

  The old monk sobs, "The word is celebrate."......................

  by Gregor in

  2. beliefs

  it obviously meant something when it was officially referred to for 9 yrs.

  i know they deny that they implied it would be armageddon, so ok, then what was it all about?

  have they ever brought it up again?

  The brothers in the KH we went to were very cautious about saying 1975 was the year!

  They would tippy toe around it and say..."It would seem" or "everything points to that." Never really saying that it would all end in 1975...(Or begin depending how you look at it.)

  That was the year I left...

  Crazy at it seems..that was NOT the reason I left.

  Sorry..can't figure out how to paste something here yet..

  But this meteorolgist disputes also..and yet the facts seem to be that our holes are getting clogged. They are trapping the hot air on the earth. The article shows we can't exist if this continues to happen.
