Wow......what a spiritual "smothering" your wife is being subjected to. Basically, it's spiritual abuse. Those two need to find a new hobby project, and stop harassing your wife. That level of constant "up in yo' business", is not acceptable to me.

The elderly sisters are at it again.
by John Aquila inawhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.
and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.
i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

In Jesus' day, the Great Teacher & Shepherd provided food for the masses.
In WT Org's day, the masses provide food for the Shepherd.
What is wrong with this picture???

Australians don't drink Fosters. Not at all. I was just on holiday with several Aussies, and asked them about Fosters. They looked at me like I had a 3rd eye and 3rd head. They told me nobody drinks Fosters in Australia, that's just American swill. They drink other stuff. Fosters isn't even a consideration. It's American-made bull-shit. Fosters! That's a good one. -

bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."
by fulltimestudent inbeen sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.
two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".
however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

I love how people think Indian Hindu's, etc are harmless, peaceful, etc. They are about as harmless as ISIS, and examples like this PROVE it. People who think India is so great, should try living in that stinking sh*t-house. Me? No thanks. -

Don't shut down YOUR Facebook account. That just means they've won on some small scale. No! Learn to use your settings and security protocols correctly. Got people messaging you? BLOCK THEM. Keep on blocking people until they all get the message. Have your FB settings so that ONLY your FRIENDS can see your posts. That's it! People leaving their social media "open" is a huge problem that comes back to bite them in the ass. Lock it up, people! Don't less the assholes of the world win. -

My son just started 6th grade. Every child in grades 4-6 are issued Apple mini-iPads for the school year. Grades 7-12 are issued full-sized iPads. Reason? Most textbooks are on the iPads now. No more carrying that heavy book-bag around! You can email your teacher at any time. Also, some lectures/lessons (especially Math) are recorded, so the child can re-watch the lesson if they didn't understand it the first time. Awesome!
The kids have to turn them in at the end of the year, and also they are all set-up with certain permissions so the kids can't play games, download inappropriate Apps, or watch porn, etc.
The school has a few fundraisers throughout the year. So do the sports teams. Most are apparel or food, so we usually end up getting something. No big deal. I'm 36, we had fundraisers when I was in school as well, though I hated them. I was forced to go door-to-door for the JW crap, but was forbidden for doing so if it benefited my school or school athletic teams. It didn't benefit Jehovah's Organization of course. Freakin' hypocrites!

Paint, Barney, and Jehovah
by John Aquila ini made a quick run to lowes to buy some paint and ran into a brother.
he is one of those elders that is very, very, petty.
if he drops by your house unexpected and notices that your kids are watching one of the star wars movies, he will counsel you for allowing your kids to watch any movie that has to do with war he will then make sure you are not recommended for any privilege.

Wait till Barney Fife types "JW's Child Sexual Abuse" into Google. His world is going to be rocked, especially if he see's the one and only Geofforey Jackoff giving his testimony in a court of law. Wow!! -

I would have looked those Elders straight in the face and asked them:
1.) Since when you are two the Masters of my faith?
2.) My husband isn't here, so why are you?
3.) Who do two think you are? Showing up at MY house to interrogate me?
4.) I am not here to answer your intrusive questions. Again, who in the hell do you two think you are? Leave, while I call the police to report your harassment.
5.) Call here again, and I'll have you charged with stalking. Announce my name as DA'd or DF'd, and I'll be suing YOU, personally, NOT the WT Org.

Nearly Killing My Mother Wasn't Enough !
by cookiemaster inas some of you might have read last week, my mother had extremely low hemoglobin and without it, she would have died.
i have somehow managed to bring her to reason and accept the transfusion.
it saved her life.

Know what you should have done with your mom? Deny everything. Demand "two witnesses" to the supposed "transfusions." After all, that's the requirements. Tell them they are slandering your mother AND you.
Basically, Theocratic Warfare, except in reverse. If they ask how your mother was able to recover so quickly, tell them, "Jehovah provides! It's a miracle!!!!!" Watch their jaws drop open. Put them on the spot, and don't let up. Deny EVERYTHING. It is up to THEM to bring forth the burden of evidence. They have ZERO, merely their own "speculations" as to what "might" have transpired. Hopefully you and your mother haven't already admitted to the transfusions at their "meeting", which I would have canceled before it ever happened. Who the hell do they think they are to demand such anyway? Freakin' basturds!
