  This one implies a swear, so if you can't handle it, MOVE ON.

  What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with a Hells Angel?

  Someone who comes to YOUR DOOR and tells you to f*! off.

  JW's that tried to Blackball my Hubby in work , since D/A

  by LyinEyes in

  2. experiences

  many of you know that my husband's work is fixing hail damage in cars, and that we have traveled for 10 years from colorado, texas, ok, kansas, etc.

  but those mainly were his best contacts , and also all jw's in the business.. last summer one of our best contacts who lives in co, called to tell my husband that he had a hail storm hit that very day, and said that since he has d/a himself he will no longer work him.

  i understand that some may not let their conscience do that being firm jw believers.

  Witness business is bad business. The employees that I had were CRAPPY. Their work-ethic was CRAPPY, b/c I was a dub. I got ripped off $650.00 and couldn't take the weiner to court. Why? IT WOULD LOOK BAD FOR JEHOVAH'S ORGANIZATION. I was not the only person whom this guy ripped off.

  Not working for someone b/c they are DF'd??? Give me a freakin' break.

  Anyone out there, take heed of everyone's advice. DON'T LET WITNESSES DO WORK FOR YOU.

  I swatted my nephew once, because he was being a brat. I did it in anger, and left a little welt on him. Obviously, I felt terrible, and is not the way to teach a 2 year old how not to have a temper tantrum.

  I won't do it again just because of that one incident. It reminded me too much of my father, dealing with things in anger, and going overboard. I thought that I was better than him, but obviously not.

  that's what a co-worker said to me today.

  now, i admit that i'm in a benzodiazapine withdrawal induced daze all of the time (did more research on this and it's quite possibly going to last another half a year or more...one person, who stopped klonopin 18 months ago described it as "always feeling as though i am just coming off an acid trip", which i don't know about but i can imagine), but i thought this was kind of mean.. i miss my daughters; they are never going to speak to me again, i feel so isolated here, i'm ashamed of the entire benzo withdrawal thing, ashamed that i can't hold a real job, just really, really down.. al stewart, as always, said it much better than i ever could:.

  "well sometimes it seems impossible that the game could get that rough.

  Have you experienced Satan?

  by Blueblades in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  recently i asked:have you experienced god?and many of you responded.the question was not intended to prove that god exists,or,doesn't.rather, what each persons own experience meant for them.. now,i thought that it would be only fair to ask:have you experienced satan?again not to prove that satan exists or dosen't.rather what each persons own experience meant for them.. maybe some have experienced both,god and satan at different times,or can you tell the difference?.

  I bought a donut off of him, in exchange for my soul. The forbidden donut was in my fridge for a day or two, then I finished it off when half-asleep. Ever since then, we have been good friends. He speaks to me in my head all the time, and tells me things that I should do. I always listen to voices in my head. I encourage all to listen to the strange, crazy voices in their head. They're fun!

  (Actually, no, I haven't)

  JW Family...UPDATE! Please advise!

  by Ghost of Esmeralda in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my ex husband just told me that he will continue to facilitate visitation between my child and my jw family who is shunning me (see my other thread "i didn't think they could find another way to hurt me but...") he says i'm the one with the problem and that i should be "ashamed of myself".

  it's not like i thought he'd cooperate, but for him to stand there and tell me that he will allow my sister full access to my child and there's not a damn thing i can do (and probably, legally, that's right) makes my blood boil.

  makes me just want to swallow every fricking pill in the house.

  Essie,

  Good luck with contacting Alamb. I am hoping that things work out for you. I cannot imagine how you feel right now.
