i just had a funny come across my head, what's really more dangerous than dealing with a female jw with pms at your door?.
male home owner: *opens door* "yes?".
female jw: "hello, my name is gloria and this is my friend amy.
I always felt sorry for the poor brother who would get stuck crammed into a car with four women (six, if it was a minivan!) all talking about pms and childbirth and the evils of men in general. I remember one young brother who said "I feel priveleged to have the opportunity to learn so much about women, it's preparing me for when I get married someday" I thought he was full of shit, even then!

just thought some of you may find this interesting????.
if anyone has these books and watchtowers still laying around, how about seeing how many different "subliminal" pics you can paint into them?
and then scan and post them...might be good for a laugh?.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me....
Seriously, this is weird stuff (anyone else ever get shit for using the word "weird" while a dub?)
My mom studied with a woman who thought that her neighbor was trying to tell her to lose weight because he put a diet soda can in his window.... people are crazy and see what they want to.. the above picture is proof of that!!

hey folks.
just bumped into my father & mother in-law, cool as cucumbers they ask if i'm screwing around behind their daughter's back (we've been apart 8 months), yes i am says me, i we go our seperate ways!!.
a visit from the elders?
I think that what you can expect is divorce papers...you have given your wife "scriptural grounds for divorce" Maybe what your in-laws were looking for was closure for their daughter?
Oh, and yeah..you'll be Df'd, so you get some closure too.
Just my 2cents, and welcome to the board...I'm new here too

WHY?
seems that the page view out number the posters who actually reply to the thread.. my guess is that there's alot of active jws who are still active within' the so called "truth" are visiting this forum and reading all the threads.
i don't blame them for not wanting to reply for fear of being found out.. how many of you were still active when you found a forum like this one and lurked around for a long time?
how many of you left the organization as a result of reading this forum or other forums like it?.
I'm new to this board, but even on boards I've been on for awhile, I only post on one out of every five or six threads I read, maybe there are others like me that read more than they post? I only contribute when I feel like I have something worth saying (or just really like the topic)
I am NOT an active JW!!! some here might be offended by that accusation

it's got lights, tinsel, and a big pagan star on the top.
this is cool fun.
I just finished putting up my first tree, too! It was sooo much fun! Lol, my boyfriend wanted me to put it all up, since I'd never done it before... but after the third or fourth time I said "UM.... what do I do with this?" he came over and helped me Haven't bought presents yet, but since it's just me and him, it won't take long!
LOL, I bought cards today, can't wait to hand them out....

what event made you realize that you were serving a phony organization, and what was the turning point that made you see clear?.
When my Ex and I seperated, no one was there to help me. No concerned Elders on the phone, no sister so-and-so stopped in to check on me, nothing. I was a regular meeting attender who dropped off the face of the earth, and no one cared. I had always thought that I was a part of a loving brotherhood who took care of it's members. Even my family didn't seem to care... I had no long-distance on my phone and they knew it, yet they didn't call at all the first month I was on my own..for the first time ever...
And it wasn't that they didn't have my number or didn't know what was going on... I had gone to the Elders for help with my "marital crisis" and they said that they couldn't do anything to help unless my husband (a brother at the time) came to them and asked for it (this was only 2 years ago...not in the dark ages!!) A week later I informed them that I was moving out and we were seperating, gave them my new number and address. The only time I ever heard from an Elder was about four months later, he called me to ask if a rumor he had heard about my Ex could be true or not.
I'm not saying that this is why I stayed away.. but it was the event that got me on the road to recovery. After that I started questioning things. I went to a district convention less than two months after the seperation, and through the whole thing I kept thinking how ridiculous things were.. and everytime they would talk about brotherly love I would have to concentrate on not making a snorting sound.
Since then I have done some research and become convinced that they do not have the truth!
This is probably a longer reply than you wanted....

i don't start many threads, but in the last few days several things have happened with me that just compel me.
please don't take this list as anything other than imho thoughts:.
1) i was a baptized jw for 38 years (i'm now 50)---so what?
get over it, yes...but learn from it if at all possible. I was raised a JW, 28 when I got out.... get over it, absolutly!! but I hope I will never be so gullible again!
and this is just IMHO
this gave me a few chuckles...hope you at least crack a smile.
world domination is everyone's dream.
it's not a bad.
At last! instructions with which I can plot my evil Empire!!! WUHAHAHAHA!!!! damn it I already forgot rule #20 already.................
calling all gourmet dessert cooks,.
i forgot my friend's birthday.
he's becomming a father figure to me.
Hi all, I'm new here, been lurking for a couple days with out posting, but I just had to add something to this one....
The best possible thing you can do to a plain ol chocalate chip cookie recipe is to toast about half a cup of slivered almonds and add them with the chips. I'm not very fond of nuts in cookies, but these are to die for, I promise!!
Oh, and Ven... I work in a costco bakery... in some of them, if you ask real nice, they will give you a free cookie to munch while you shop
Nice to meet you all,
Misty
