Don't know thosenames but I do recall fondly Tishie's Board.
ahhhhh memories
once again, it seems i only refer to things that us 50+ ex dubs would remember, (for the record, i just hit the big 5-0 last month myself) but i remember a co being mentioned on her board that committed suicide that served the cong i used to attend in jamaica, queens.. his name was bro.
catanzaro, had the most pleasant sounding voice, couldve made a fortune doing voice over work im sure.
i heard through the grapevine that he killed himself, and of course when i asked my mom, she made believe that she never heard that story, and surely a faithful servant of jah would never do such a thing!

where i live in australia nice newer 3 bedroom brick houses go for $220,000 up.
i think this is reasonable.
(aust.
is a link to the majority of real estate listings in Canada. Doing a search in my area there exactly 6 detached 3 bedroom homes listed for under $400k.
So no, this area isn't really affordable.
there is a new study just released by the american psychiatric association about how the average woman feels about her ass.
the results are pretty interesting: 5% of women surveyed feel their ass is too big.
10% of women surveyed feel their ass is too small.
A wife was constantly complaining to her husband about being so small chested.
She treied everything, creams, pills, exercises ..nothing worked. She broke down crying and was asking her husband about getting surgery and implants.
the husband finally had enough. He told his wife, "dear all you need to do is twice a day, grab toilet paper and rub it against your chest. Your bust will grow."
She looked at him him in amazement, 'Really? What good will that do?'
He replied, "We'll you do that to your ass and look at how huge that is!"
Memorial services are being held for him this Tuesday.
can anybody find out more about this?

A phone call to one of the Plaintiff's attorneys would settle this quickly if it has anything to do with the JW's. I'm thinking not but could be wrong.
ever have one of those really weird moments?
part melancholy...fleeting and just weird.
it's like certain uncontrollable elements come together to create an overwhelming sadness...or maybe it's just the caffeine.. so here i am sitting in a starbucks, in one of the comfy seats...been here since opening at 6am...when all of sudden i'm reading the post by uzzah, listening to the starbucks channel play georgia on my mind by ray charles...followed by i left my heart in san francisco...fighting back tears to no avail....and everything around me is hazy.
BONEZZ:
Sorry man if my post triggered that reaction. Sometimes life can have those 'tsunami-moments' I've been lucky enough to be just as overwhelmed by the positives of this life too.
Both experiences however can be unsettling. Sounds like you are managing it.
Keep up keeping up!
it just occurred to me that i have never seen a member on jwd who was a minister/priest/rabbi/monk,friar,shamman, etc.
maybe i have just missed their posts and then again, maybe they don't come here for some reason.
i know they must come in contact with jw's and ex-jw's all the time.
We should develop a few recipes for different kind of Pastor (pasta) sauces...
a garlic sauce for the vampire Pastors
The self righteous Catholic Priest angel hair pasta sauce made with Altar Boy Sausage (okay that was low even for me)
Born Again Pasta Sauce (leftovers from the night before) and re-baked

Donchya know us apostates eat pastors for breakfast. Ministers are a mid day snack. JW Elders are consumed like a handful of M&M's.
Not to mention the fact that agnostics and atheists out number the 'god-fearing' here. There are easier pastures me thinks.
this was in the 70s , im sure the kids parents wud have been delighted , what a "bad witness" they could have been "stumbled" did any of you do that?
it is so sad that it wase ven put in a 5 year olds head
I am embarassed to say I did that as a little kid. I think it was Grade 2 or 3 and some kids were picking on my brother and I for being witnesses. As we were so bravely running away (per my mother's strict orders "If you fight Jehovah will be angry and you won't be in paradise") I apparently turned around and hollered that God is going to kill them all for persecuting us.
We went home and really thought nothing of it until the phone started rining from parents very pissed that I had cursed them to damnation. A few of the kids were a little shaken. I was told that while I was right, it just isn't a good thing to tell them in that way. Yeah my parents (mother mostly) were JW kooks.
<hanging head in shame>
Uzzah

Welcome from a neighbour to the south (Toronto).
If nothing else this board is great for posting your thoughts where you know others who have gone through the same things will read. Some even comment! LOL
A kindred spirit will be found here. Share what you feel is comfortable for you recognizing this is the Internet and can be read by anyone.
Many of us in the Greater toronto Area try to get together for dinner/drinks fairly often. Keep an eye open for threads about our next event. No preaching is allowed, just good conversation, sharing of stories and normal people stuff! Oops actually Grace is allowed to preach a little, only cuz we love her so much!
Uzzah
is it because jehovah is protecting his people from this?
There could be some good laughs from one of the boys being disfellowshipped 'as the last act of love"
Sorry we can't talk to you Kyle.
Why what did I do?
We don't know but the elders said if we love you we won't have anything to do with you.
What the &*^@#%?!?!?!
If we don't talk to you, you will know we love you and you will come back.
Uhhh no Cartman. You don't talk to me, I'll just get new friends.
You can't do that Kyle. Who do you know? All your friends and family are with us now. We all love you and will have nothing to do with you. Can't you feel the love?
You bastards
