  Advice You'd Give Your 12-Year-Old Self?

  by SYN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic came up on slashdot, where some of the replies were...interesting, to say the least.. what would you guys say to yourselves, if you could send your 12-year-old self a message?.

  i know that was about the age i began to read really well, and only five years later i left "the truth", so it was a crucial point in my life, as it is in the lives of many...?.

  "hello self, this is...yourself speaking.

  Damn this losing posts things is driving me nuts !

  If this shows up twice I apolagize

  SYN Excellant topic

  dedalus I think we had similar childhoods. Carrying around a little baggage are we ?

  I would like to add:

  1. That advice on " turning the other cheek ", doesn't apply to everything. If the kids at school want to pick on you because you're different...kick the shit out of them, otherwise you'll never get any respect and you'll be a target the rest of your life.

  2. Never accept everything you're told. Always get both sides of the story. Question everthing and research it.

  When it comes to the possibility of intimate relations with your husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him. If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it. In all things be lead by your husband's wishes, do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy. Should your husband suggest congress then accede humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfilment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had. Should your husband suggest any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent. It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up and apply your night time face and hair care products. You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes.

  Does this mean a women is supposed to fake it ?

  Can women do that ?

  If the moan is loud and long, does that mean I done good !

  Where can I get a copy of that manual ? I have a broken coffee table I need to prop up and I chucked out all of my JW literature years ago.

  Kingdom Hall Alarm codes.

  by JEMIMAH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just back from renovating my holiday home in the south west of france.

  beats yorkshire anyday.... anyway thought i would share this little account with you.. as most are of you are aware, the alarm code for about 90% of kingdom halls is 1914 (nineteen fourteen).. i t seems though that for the last 8 or 9 quick builds or refurbs in the uk, the brother who installed the numbers into the alarm control panel used the numbers 1975 and explained the number as one nine seven five not the the easier version (ninteen seventy five).. trivial joke or honest mistake, either way this poor brother has been rumbled and has to to meet with 2 elders investigating on behalf of a body of elders to see whether an apostasy charge will be brought.. he is supposed to be meeting with them over the next few days.. .

  a very sad jem, who is sick of the whole elder abuse game.

  Outaservice mentioned something about this re Home Security Systems

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/46930/662973/post.ashx#662973

  When we built our new KH here, I was given the " privilage " of looking after the security system.

  I programmed the on/off code as 1975.

  They made me change it ! But I didn't get in any trouble...but I'm no longer welcome there, so.......Hmmmmm !

  JWs brag about using the web to convert people

  hi gang:.

  i got the following off the jws' media site.

  i think it is a riot that they are bragging about how well their website is doing considering that not too long ago most jws did not even believe the wts had a website because they were so critical of the internet.

  I like this :

  300 requests a month come in from individuals who wish to participate in an individually tailored Bible study program .

  " Isn't that special " individually tailored..... my ass !

  I wonder how many people a month come to this site, To Learn the Truth.

  Hey SillyPutty. I see the Active Page is about 3 hours behind this morning, and now your post is about 3 pages back, so I think I will bring it back to the most recent.

  Very funny by the way.

  My favorite :

  14. If the newspaper headlines read "All humans on earth are smashed, and destroyed on Christmas day. Only JW's survive!!" and this would brings joy to your heart, you'd be a JW

  I remember when I was a teenager, my mother saying one day " wouldn't it be great if Armageddon came on Christmas day, and destroy all those smug pagans "

  btw she no longer feels that way !
