  was it that you never got holiday candy until the day after?.

  that you couldn't be a "normal" kid?.

  that you always were feeling restricted, depressed and angry???.

  Being attached to the collective. No individual ideas or thoughts. Restrictions on everthing from sex to Christmas. Strung out on power elders and their wives.

  I see the elder JC arrangement has strayed from Russel's idea. JW Judicial Committees are indeed inquisitions.

  Thursday, I boarded a propeler driven airplane at the Rapid City SD airport Thursday with about 75 other unfortunate passengers. Had a bumpy flight all the way to Denver that ended with the worst landing I have ever experienced. Changed flights there. (much nicer flight on to Phoenix)

  I bought a truck I found on Ebay in Phoenix. I nearly got killed in a lime green Crown Vic Taxi Cab in Phoenix. The driver took a wrong turn and made a uturn on a busy street with on coming traffic. I thought I was on my way to the bigger JW forum! Anyway, I purchased the truck and spent the rest of Thursday and yesterday driving it home to the Black Hills of SD. Great truck, long trip in a short time. 1300 miles.

  I had to really think about this...my own thread...geez. It was my wife's brothers funeral in Phillip SD. in 2000 or 01. A great young man in his prime with a new baby and lovely wife. Died trimming trees for the big bucks needed to support his pioneering. His bucket truck collapsed....the rest was sad. My wife and I were shocked at the shunning of their disfellowshipped father at the funeral.....even at this time the asshole JW's seen fit to mistreat the dead young mans father. Unforgiveable. That was the end for us.

  Flip:

  I live in a part of the States where the nearest shopping centers are almost 100 miles one way. I own three fuel effecient vehicles. I am gainfully employeed since getting my college degree. I am not going to complain about the price of fuel. I still think we are getting a bargain at $4.00. I am thankful that we can still buy gas at any price.

  My wife had a call from a Wallkill, NY cell phone yesterday...whats up?

  by Thechickennest in

  the caller inquired of mrs.chickennest if she was disfellowshipped?

  the caller identified herself with a name we didn't recognize.

  when my wife indicated that she was no longer a witness, the call was ended by the caller.

  LovesDubs:

  I don't think the JW's give a single thought to how intrusive, aggressive, distatesful, willful and wanton, and otherwise how the JWism policy of shunning is when put in to practice. I am sure the Lord finds this practice wanting for true worship at the very least. Last evening on this board an individual was informed by her mother that her daughter should DA from the JW's with the thought of keeping the organization clean! This lady wants her daughter to give her proper permission to start shunning her. What kind of Zelots would try incourage this type of worship in the name of God?

  Thank you for your comment. You nailed it on this topic!
