I married a JW

by out of the box in

i had stated before that i escaped a worldly abusive man and went into the 'truth'.

i got baptised after a year and then a few young men were approaching me as 'marriage' material.

when i think back i was pushed into baptism because it was time, i had been studying 'long enough' as the girl who studied with me said.. the ministerial servants came to the house 'with the perspective man' in tow.

Welcome.

I'm sorry to hear that you got dragged into the borg and I'm glad you made it out.

When Was The Last Time You Ran Into A Witness?

by minimus in

do you see jws at the local grocery store, walmarts, or on a night on the town?

how does the interaction go?

?

Yep, just yesterday at the grocery store. Saw an old jw friend with her sister-in-law, in one of the aisles so I made sure they saw me and then I proceeded to make sure I was in the same area throughout the store (ya no, stalking the jw dub that pretends they never saw you).

Then we get to the produce section, so I made sure that we had to finally cross paths. Now the look on her face was priceless. She knew I was there but had that god awful look of fear in her face, like OMG, now what do I do? I hope I don't make eye contact. So now she's looking down at the ground and I say Hello "m..." and she muttered under her breath hello.

I had a great sense of satisfaction.

Like I told my husband, what are they afraid of, if they think they are so god awful right about their religion, don't ya think they would be the ones to hold their heads up high (although there are some like that) and pretend we don't bother them and make us afraid of the paths we took down the merry path of so-called apostasy.

I am JOANNA destroyer of Marriage!

ok just to cover my bum, i am not against marriage per-say.

so all you happily married folk leave me alone.

she and i were both quite fed up with the dub mentality.

calamityjane

And maybe God does answer prayers--he sent me to her tonight to convince her to get a divorce.

Joanna, I think that is so true.

You go girl! Do what you can to save her. Nobody deserves a bad marriage.

Kristi died about 30 mins. ago

by Frannie Banannie in

for those of yall that didn't know, kristi was a 37-yr-old ms patient that i took care of for the last year of her life.

she had a wonderful ribald sense of humor and talked like a sailor at times.

but it was all to cover up the ultra-sweet and tender heart she had.

calamityjane

I just saw this thread, watched the video. What a beautiful video. Always a smile on her face. Sorry to hear of your loss Frannie. It's terrible to see a sickness/disease take someone like that away from a family.
