  The only song I can think of that matches my feeling toward the GB is

  'NSYNC'S BYE BYE BYE

  "Sure may hate me but it aint no lie, baby
  BYE BYE BYE
  ((((((BYE BYE)))))))
  Don't really wanna make it tough
  I just wanna tell you that I've had enough
  Cause you may hate me but it aint no lie! baby
  BYE BYE BYE
  ... I dont want to be your fool in this game for 2, so I'm leaving you behind!
  BYE BYE BYEEE

  *** when asked why she is reading some publication during the meeting instead of paying rapt attention to her husband speaking from the platform, the c.o.

  's wife responds, "oh what the heck, i hear that talk over and over.".

  *** when brother prominent elder is asked why he keeps having business dealings with brothers in the congregation (he thus causes lots of problems that the boe has to keep wasting time on), he replies, "well, we all have to make a living.".

  I'v got to tell something this!

  by voltaire in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've posted several times about how i'm fed up with the witnesses but my wife won't budge.

  she's become a bit more tolerant lately, but mostly we get along better when we don't talk about anything substantive.

  i've been working up the nerve to tell the elders why i don't go out anymore.

  ((((((((((((Hmmmm))))))))))

  LOL LOL LOL!

  If there was a kid involved, I would say work it out.. it is HELL on a kid to split up.

  If no kid, break up. Life is too short to be miserable.

  Let us know how it goes!! The saga continues..

  ROTFLMAO... you guys!!!

  Just like men.. start the conversation deeply, then the rest of the posts are gawking at the chic dancing!! Sad!!

  I must confess, I kept watching to see if she was going to do any different moves!! LOL

  God.. I remember fazing out at the meetings too.. staring out the window, nice hot sunny day, looking at families playing outside, biking, going on picnics, while my tight pantyhose rode up my butt and the speaker got nowhere near the end. Looking at the back of my Watchtower..' what paragraph are we on? Okay, and there is 18 paragraphs.. so it will be over in 15 minutes!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO!'

  2. humour

  a man and woman who were madly in love were separated for years, because of the war.

  throughout the years of their seperation, age took it's toll and they both got up in years.

  when the woman heard her lover was coming back, she was excited, but nervous, since she was recently diagnosed with heart problems.

  A man and woman who were madly in love were separated for years, because of the war. Throughout the years of their seperation, age took it's toll and they both got up in years. When the woman heard her lover was coming back, she was excited, but nervous, since she was recently diagnosed with heart problems. She hoped this wouldnt cause a problem for her once viril and passionate man. So they finally reunite and fall into an embrace. They have a romantic dinner by fireside. She wants everything to be just perfect, so she leaves the room and comes back in a sexy black negligee'. Her lover's eyes roam over her body. He tenderly pulled the strap down over her shoulder, and kissed it. 'Um.. Harold?' she whispered. 'Shhhhh' he moaned, savoring her neck. He pulled her negligee down further, revealing her naked bosoms. 'Harold.. really, I have something to tell you!' she said nervously, not wanting to spoil the mood. 'Well, what is it?' Harold replied, irritatingly. 'I really need to tell you...I have acute angina!' she blurted. 'Well I sure hope so!' he said, sighing. 'Because your tits look like hell!'

  a perspective on difficult people.

  difficult people are among the many.

  even when people appear not to be in rapport, they may actually be so.

  Okay Bible Supporters: Support this One

  by FreePeace in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been so many bible thumping posts lately, i thought i would offer an anti-bible article from my truthquest website.

  i wait with bated breath to see how bible supporters will rationalize and explain this one.. .

  atrocities of the bible: the midianites .

  FreePeace, you bring up good points, as always. Its nice to see you around.

  You bring up things that have always bothered me (Abraham and Isaac).. I always thought it was mean to test a father's love? Also, when David had a woman's (the name escapes me!) husband killed and got her pregnant, Jehovah had their son die. I mean, the baby was innocent! Also, when Job was trying to stay faithful, but God almost taunts him and starts slamming him saying, 'where were you when I created the earth?' Talk about kicking someone when they're already down! I could go on and on...

  Thank you for an informative piece that I've never read before. I'm looking forward to the replies, as well as more posts from you.

  First Time ... after visiting for 3 months

  by Double Edge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have peeked in for the past several months and find this a very diverse (kind of) and interesting group.

  i'm not an ex anything, (not jw either...if that's ok)... but i've learned a lot from you.

  hope to be able to bring another point-of-view that can be at least half as interesting as most of yours are.. poetic overview of me (if anyone cares):.

  Welcome,

  DakotaRed and DoubleEdge! Always nice to see a new face.. very refreshing!

  How did you come by the site, if you were never a Witness, if you dont mind me asking?

  As for me, I stumbled upon it a few months ago.. I was raised a JW and have been out for about 3 years.

  Speak your mind!
