  Haha my friend who lives in Cali in the Napa area slept right through it LOL

  Herhusband, who is a firefighter, had to wake her up and let her know he had to go to the station on case they were called for a fire.

  there is great enthusiasm in many congregations in regard to the wonderful new way to sit around wasting time in the "ministry".

  so much easier than trotting from door to door.

  however, some who set up the literature/jw.org carts have noticed a disturbing phenomena:.

  2. friends

  a great article i stumbled across this morning http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2008/05/10-reasons-you-should-never-have-a-religion/.

  while consciously pursuing your spiritual development is commendable, joining an established religion such as christianity, islam, or hinduism is one of the worst ways to go about it.

  in this article ill share 10 reasons why you must eventually abandon the baggage of organized religion if you wish to pursue conscious living in earnest.. since christianity is currently the worlds most popular religion, ill slant this article towards christianitys ubiquitous failings.

  You're right jhine it's all bs that all jws are equal. I remember hearing that too while I was studying but the truth revealed itself after I got baptized. There were some COs that I liked but honestly there were more that irked me.

  Interesting story proclaimer. I think Id be PISSED if I were that family. I would loudly complain, no doubt about it! Funny, I think I was always an apostate-- an opposer to the bs in the cong.

  What my mother should have done.

  by LovelyEunie in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is somewhat of a rant but every time i think of it it just pisses me off.. .

  i never understood why my mom would never switch to another hall or whatever when she knew how i was treated by the people who were supposedly the 'best' association around.

  my older sister also, because neither of us really had any jw friends because for whatever reason i guess we were pegged as the baddies because our dad wasn't witness (still isn't) and my mother stayed sick a lot so she wasn't able to do half of whatever was required.. .

  Your story is the reason why I left and will never return- - I don't want my daughters to ever feel like you did growing up or to feel like you do now toward your mom. I made a commitment to be the best Mommy to my girls. And that's what I'm going to do.

  TMI with yoga pants. I wish I could wear them besides the gym but I'm not in the mood to share all my business with everyone. I still prefer my jeans. Honestly, tho, I'd rather wer a dress or a skirt.

  Oh! I forgot to mention-- my df'd announcement was made at the last CO visit I ever went to. When I visited my jw friends before the announcement to say goodbye and told them it was going to be over the CO visit, they all CRINGED, each and every single one. In my time in, I don't ever remember a df announcement made at the CO visit.

  Anyways, this CO was a young black dude (kinda good looking) who had a white wife (not so cute), his voice-- he sounded like a radio jock. I swear that was the onlyreason he was chosen as CO. He was arrogant and rude. Nothing special.
