i remembered the other day reading in an awake, oh it must have been about five or six years ago, an article on how to wash your dishes properly.
for god's sake, do jw's not know how to do that and do the borg think they have to tell them how to do it.
it's cracking me up just thinking about it.. to make you laugh even more, in the next issue of awake someone had written a bloody letter thanking them for the article and how it had helped them so much and had a query on whether to rinse dishes with water or not after washing.
Hipster-washing dishes? washing dishes? lordy, even tribesman know how to wash dishes. it's a silly filler article...admit it.

last month my husband and i and our two sons travelled from the uk to visit my family in dayton, ohio.
while there, i had an eerie experience, one im still not sure what to make of.
my fathers sister, shirley, was also visiting in dayton while we were there.
My parents had issues from the time they were married, my father has had weird things most of his young life.
My mother say two black dogs at the foot of the bed with red eyes when she was pregnant with me. Once, I woke up in the middle of the night to see a face peering in around my door, (I was 3). I was horrified-It was Kermit the Frog. LOLOLOL-I f**king swear-Kermit the F**king Frog. I was never scared of him before, but I saw this...thing prance into my room unnaturally, and it's "face" got right up into mine, and then it looked amused, then ran out of the room; then I blacked out.
I have no reason to lie, this all seemed perfectly real to me. I could swear I was awake. But I was reading about people with some kind of sleep disorder that makes then see things awake...I believe I had that.
In the last house we were in, I heard a horrible voice whisper-shout "BITCSHHHHHHHHH"-there's was a complete darkness around my bed.
I screamed like a little girl. My mom came running in, and I thought I was going to vomit. I always felt watched and haunted back then.
Then we moved to the new house and it disappeared.
Now and then, I'll hear whispered voices, but I know it's my mind playing tricks on me, from a hard, long day's work.
even if spirits were real, WHY would I want them to exist? What benefit are they to me?

i can remember that prior to my study of the bible i never gave a thought to my conduct and actions.
that was a concern far from my thoughts.
People, people.....please....just be conscious of your spiritual WEED. and my brothers in Mary Jane, feel free to post to my thread, 'be conscious of your spiritual weed.'
thank you, and good night brothers and sisters.

can anyone define clearly where exactly we are at in our various campaigning activities against the wtbts from an overall sociological perspective?.
is it the case, that presently under current tactics, we are not doing all that we could be doing to get the society to change their direction upon certain key issues?
i'm not knocking the worthwhile jobs that many are doing, i'm just questioning the effectiveness of current rating of status quo.. what more could we be doing as a body of campaigners?
Sorry mark, the heart is heavy.
well, we could throw balogna mayo on them...give them plastic dog shite sandwhiches with a M-80 garnish.....
Or we could all unite and stand as one against the people who've oppressed us. I could stand and speak, and use my voice to sway people to stop the juggernaught. I would love to write speeches for people, and give them myself....march thousands to the front doors of the watchtower and expose all their wrongs. March and speak; we'd be on every news organization in the U.S. It would highlight everything that the WTBTS has done, and then some.
from time to time some of us may have wondered about the amount of work that we will have to do restoring the post-armageddon world into a paradise.
think of all that construction and all that clearing up!
how long is it going to take?.
The tent of God is with mankind? I have a tent in my pants when you talk that way you bugger!!!!
The first challege will be to make popcorn to eat while we watch crows peck their eyes out.....I love the New System.
BIG BROTHER HAS NUFFIN' ON US!!!

They should run a commerical with the script:
"Do you love abusers...we do too! Come be a Jehovah's Witness, where you can diddle your children and molest people's consciences with yours. Feel free to play volleyball and watch the Princess Bride, while simultaneously beating your children senseless.....come worship with us..."

one more topic.. my wife just called up to tell me that she was over my parents before a doctor's visit, chatting with my mother, when my crazed jw father threw my small 14 year old brother down the stairs and punched him for not wanting to study.. i've been beat, thrown down stairs, had potted plants thrown at me, chased around the house, and such, for not wanting to do the family study.. this is what the "truth" does to people, all you loyal jw's....take note...... (i'm so angry i'm shaking).
ashi.
p.s-my father said he was leaving my mother--oh god, pretty please, you motherf**ker.
You know, I'm only 22. Why can't people older than myself, act older than myself?

here is an excerpt from a letter from the society.. jehovah has endowed us with free will.
as such he has implanted in us the faculty of choice.
he does not force us to act or think in a certain way, nor does he employ his sevants to do so ( 2 cor 3:17).
Double talk. You can think for yourselves, but you really can't.
They mind-F**k people whenever they can. Daily I am holding the GB more and more responsible for the hurt I see around me. I've had it.

Pris,
thanks for the post. I do have to say again that my mother fights his abuse vehemently, she at times has tackled him for my sake. She's strong as a bull, and won't take shit from anyone, but my father still is abusive. Imagine an abusive whiner. That's him. Whines, abuse, whines, abuse.
She never defends him, and calls him selfish and an asshole, but told my wife to not say anything to me, and that my father truly does 'love' us, but he's just a selfish, mentally challenged person.
I don't buy that.
I've encouraged her to divorce, separate, anything that would make sure she would have a supplementary income to her own, because she wouldn't have enough to live. I have no idea what to do. My brother even wants me just to forget it.
My wife and I just went through the same thing with her little brother. He came to us at 16, he just turned 18, and is ok now, because we took him in, and told his parents that he could stay as long as they were going to be abusive to him. He went home several months ago, as an adult, and things have been exponentially better for him. He smiles now, laughs with ease, and fears nothing, just like my wife and I.
But, my family is afraid of everything, financial being the most important in their mind-they've never had much money, and they're afraid of being on the street.
My sister is getting married and my parents are paying for it. I know she is thinking selfishly and doesn't want me to make an issue of it for her own sake.
My baby sister has epilepsy, and I think she would go insane if she was without my mother for even one night, if child services came. My mother would never forgive me if I went against her wishes-she very stubborn that way.
And my father...that sonofabitch would either become a pious piece of shit or a horrible monster-either option leaves little hope for the rest of my families' future.
But, I am helpless if they don't help themselves. You can throw a rope to someone, but if they don't climb it.....
