this mornings wt was pretty amazing in it's totally asinine application of the term "relationship".. it started right off the bat asserting that jehovah is only interested in a relationship with "you" after "you" put forth the effort to get close to him.

par 14 said to be specific in prayer so you could see "subtle" answers.

par 15 then directly contradicted par.

My Love

by Frenchy in

this is my one and only attempt at free style (no rhyme) tell me what you think.... my love seeketh her in the wind and trees and the valleys and mountains... through waist deep streams of crystal waters dashing upon smooth pebble i search for thee.

oh but to hold thee and to feel thy warm embrace... .

for the fires of the sun would be naught to compare with thy love... thy embrace.... the flames of love thrash about like a thousand tempests in an ocean of fire.... into the cool blue skies they thrust upwards, reaching, searching to consume.

Frenchy, that's beautiful, even 15 years later!

I disfellowshipped my parents this week..

by fulano in

i just wrote them a mail, telling them to not contact me any more under any circumstances, illness or death (79 and 83 years old).

unless they leave the cult and would apologize for our f*'.ed-up upbringing which ruined our whole life.

Fulano, if you want us to understand WHAT you did, you might consider explaining WHY you wrote what you wrote to your parents.

It came in today's mail

by Virgochik in

it came today, the dreaded envelope containing my personal copy of "return to jehovah" from my elderly, desperate mother.

it included a small note asking me to read it over and to let her know what i think.

she got it at her assembly.. firstly, i'm angry that she continues to push her religion on me, given that i stopped attending meetings over thirty years ago, and very offended that she assumes that i still want to be a witness, which is her choice of religion, not mine.

HMTM: Oubliette, You are getting stuck in the religion.

Um, no. That's what the OP is about.

HMTM: A good father or mother puts their children before themselves.

Don't tell me, tell Virgochik's mother!
