all sex and nothing to show for it!!!!!!!!!!

by petespal2002 in

reading the thred on vasectomy got me musing; if we were put on earth to populate it, and given sex organs purely for this purpose, what about all the jw's who 'sacrifice' having a family so they can 'do more' in the service.

would it not be improper to use your sex organs purely for pleasure, or do they give up having sex as well?

or do you know anyone thats been on tv?

the year i left the jws i decided to keep a low profile for a while but got asked if i wanted to take part in the birmingham "feed the homeless" plight for christmas.

didnt sound too bad, 'what the eck' i thought, 'stuff the turkeys, i'll do it'.

Years and years ago....TV was black and white. There was a local kids show here in the DFW area called Slam Bang Theatre w/Icky Twerp. I was one of 50 kids who won a contest. We were the top 50 entries in a "Make Yogi Bear a Birthday Card" contest.

Of course...somehow I wound up somewhere in the back...but I was there.

Goodbye to the Board

im leaving the board, and am compelled to announce it.

but there are a few things i want to say first -- some recollections that (perhaps incongruously) seem germane to my leave-taking of jw.com.

1) my first post was also my first thread, written in the summer of 2000 (on h2o, actually).

take care ...you'll be missed

memories

by fairy in

.

i was feeling a little low in spirits today...just thought i would write down some memories,.. i remember when i was about 6 yrs old, my younger sister and i took off to the beach with a couple of other kids about the same age and we went to the beach...that was about lunchtime on a saturday and we somehow managed to get home about 8 at night....my mother must have been frantic with worry....i feel so sorry for her having to go through that.. i remember her dragging 12 kids to the meetings and everyone was amazed that she could do that...she tried so hard to do the best for us..... i remember when she started studying and she tried really hard to do the right thing ....my uncle who wasnt a witness use to give my mum a christmas cake and then she use to bury it in the back yard....even though when yrs went past she came to her senses and it was just a fruit cake with icing anyway.. whenever we had problems we always went to mum....when we were sick, when we had trouble at school etc etc..... she always had the right advice even though it may not have been what we wanted to hear...somehow she was always right.. when she had to cook dinner, i never realised but she went without meat so the rest of the family could have it.. there were 3 bedrooms in the house and we had a big garage out the back...so dad made one half of the garage into a bedroom so some of the boys could sleep out there which left a small rectangular bit..so he made that into another bedroom so 2 of the girls could have it and us other 3 girls slept in the bedroom in the house.. i remember going to the markets with mum and dad and he would carry a sack around and put things in there they would buy and he would buy cashews....they are my favourite.. my mum never really had a holiday in those yrs....wasnt till later on in her life when the kids were older that she would go interstate to visit one of my sisters...my dad worked a lot to bring money into the house.

i remember when there were assemblies in another state, she would start putting money away to save for it and we stayed with other people for the assembly because she couldnt afford accommodation for 12 kids plus herself....my dad wasnt a witness.. there are a lot more memories i have but this list would be too long.... i love my mother sooo much and as i type this i cry because she has been gone for 3 yrs dec 12 this yr and my dad will be gone 6 yrs dec 29 this yr.. as i got older i vowed to myself i would try not to answer my mother back or make her upset because i knew that one day she would be gone and i would never forgive myself ....i "talk" to her every night and tell her how much i love and miss her...she is my heart and my soul.... thats all i can tell for now, there will be more another time.. thanks for listening.
