RUMOR ABOUT ME FLOATING AROUND THE HALL : (

by MoeJoJoJo in

jw
friends

i cannot tell you how angry i am right now.

the rumor is that i was pregnant before my husband and i were married.

we were both witnesses and were married at the hall.

Why do they have to find negative things to say about those who leave, even go so far as to lie? Its just sickening.

Because if they do that, then it is YOUR fault you left, and not the fault of the org or anyone in it. You were bad to begin with, apparenlty.

Sorry that happened. My thougts are with you.

Al Stewart, "Coldest Winter in Memory" from the album "Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time"

and

"Sometimes it seems impossible that the game could get that rough

But the stage is set, the exits barred and the makeup won't come off

So you make your bow to the balcony, you light another cigarette

And the lights grow dim as the music starts and it's easy to forget"

Al Stewart, "Carol", from the album "Modern Tmes"

How Do You Like My Single's Ad?

by Robdar in

single, white female, early 40's, eccentric yet harmless, actress, with auburn hair...5'6", 122 lbs, in search of sm, 35-60 who has the following attributes:.

good sense of humor.

non-abusive, kind to people and animals, joyful, loyal, brave, artistic, creative, witty, spiritual, likes to travel, communicative, friendly.. .

But a total klutz. Let's have coffee. I'll probably fall on the way to the coffee bar, step on your toes while shaking your hand, take ten years to decide what I want to drink, spill my Earl Gray tea all over myself in my attempt to get as much sugar in it as possible. Yes, I'll have a pen to take down your phone number, but it will have leaked all over the Coach bag I purchased on e-bay. Of course, the ink will be smudged all over my face and the long black classic Chanel skirt I got at the thrift store. I'll probably trip over the shoelaces on my ten-year-old Praada ankle boots I borrowed from my daughter and unevenly button my time worn Harris tweed men's coat ("Mom, the 80s are -over-") on my way out the door because I was too caught up in my own thoughts, really important things, you know, such as which -were- the better lyrics to the "Gilligan's Island" theme song. Get hit by a Septa bus while crossing Market Street. And I'll finally discover I -do- believe in law suits. And I'm only quietly attractive. At best. And you're not interested???? Sheesh.

I got 68 replies. I couldn't believe it. They all liked the fact that I didn't claim to be a model.

What's The Strangest Thing that ever happened to you OUT IN SERVICE??

i once had a guy answer the door naked, and i laughed my butt off... you?

berylblue

This didn't happen to me, it happened to a brother in our congregation. A really intelligent, witty one. I know this is true, because the person whom he was with told me as well as the brother to whom it happened.

He was at the door and a man answered with a gun aimed at right at the brother.. The brother said, "I guess this means you don't want a subscription to the Watchtower". And then the two brothers left. They thought it was a hoot. The sisters all started fussing, "suppose it had been me?" Everyone was upset, but I thought it was really funny too, and I think he handled it well. I probably would have said much the same thing. I have, in fact. When someone turned the sprinkler on on me. I'm not sure they heard, though.

Actually, one day my daughter (11) was at the door, and a householder felt compelled to do the 100 reasons why he couldn't take the magazines bit, you know, "I was born a Catholic, I'm going to die a Catholic, I have to leave for work in a minute, my family is really busy, I don't have any money...etc."

My daughter didn't blink an eye and said, "You forgot "I have a relative who is a Witness".

The man cracked up. He did not, however, take the literature.
