there wouldn't have been any good way to hear the news i suppose.

it's just so strange to recall the conversation yesterday.

my "still in" parents are with me and my inactive sister having a pleasant conversation.

Why do all the COs have food intolerances/allergies/special dietary requirments?
by Julia Orwell in
1. jw
2. friends
it's a well known phenomenon i've observed from jwn, my own cos. a new co we had once who was fresh from being a normal elder and after a couple of visits he said, "well i've finally become a true co...i now have food intolerances.".

i mean, only once did my husband and i ever have a co around for dinner and they couldn't eat this, he couldn't eat that, she couldn't eat this...it was so hard to cook something with none of the zillions of things they were 'allergic' to.. and then after all that the wife couldn't come anyway because she had a naturopath appointment or something.. why do all co's seem to have weird dietary problems?.

my youngest son (26yrs old) told me the other day that his barber told him a funny story .. it seems the barber use to be the janitor at the local grade school ,and one day he came into the office and noticed this little red headed boy sitting in there .

now the man said this was a busy day for the little kids ,holiday parties going on in the class rooms so he was curious as to why this little guy was just sitting in the office ...so the janitor asked the secretary what was up with that ?

.....then he said the little red headed kid speaks up loudly ,"i hate being a witness !!

Is dating a good reason to get baptized?
by free2Bme13 in
1. jw
2. friends
there was an 16 year-old-girl in our old hall who was convinced by an ms that she needed to get baptized in order to be a more eligible, desirable and qualified potential marriage mate.

i should also add that this brother was interested in her even though he was 15 years her senior.

it got me wondering how many others have done this.

just had a funny vision of awakened ex jw's going to convention in flip flops.

people outside in flip flops with signs advertising jwfacts and other worthwhile internet sites.

another sign could read "hey, did you hear the one about the flip flop doctrine?

1. jw
2. experiences
i thought it was fitting for me to share my freedom from the witnesses story on independence day weekend.. i dont have any secret info, just experiences that happened to me and started to open my eyes.. i was a third generation, raised in the truth kid who was never supposed to be born, and then never supposed to graduate high school.

ive now been out of high school longer than i was in school.. the beginning of the end started a little less than a decade ago.

i was late 20s at the time.

The New Diary of Winston Smith
by WinstonSmith in
1. jw
2. experiences
we had to go off grid for a time, time and half a time as we thought we had been outed.

fortunately it was a false alarm, but it was a stressful time.

i asked for my original diary thread to be deleted in case there could be anything on there to identlfy mrs smith and i. i am always very careful when posting, and am sure there was nothing on there, but felt it best to have it removed in order to be as cautious as a dove.
