Blonde Story of The Day - by Viv...

by Vivamus in

jw
friends

before i start my story, there have been two developments in my life, the last few days, that i need to tell you...

first thing: my fridge is broken, it has been broken for ages, and the effect of it being broken is a huge icecap forming inside of the fridge.

a couple of days ago i was nicely told that i should clean the thing again, cuz the ice-cap took half the space of my fridge...

iiz2cool

Thank You!!! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's done this! (I'm not even blonde).

I was defrosting my freezer, and of course, promptly forgot about it until I woke up about 3 am to the crashing sounds in the kitchen. Obviously, there was a burgler in the house, so I set out to make short work of him with my baseball bat that just happened to be beside my bed. Being careful not to alert the burgler, I quietly ventured into the kitchen without turning on any lights. My memory of the defrosting freezer came back as I stepped on a piece of ice, slipped, and fell to the floor with my newly sprained ankle.

The baseball bat worked quite well as a cain.

Suppose You Said "I Forgive the Watchtower"?

by metatron in

you may be confronted with relatives and witness friends who annoy you, with self-righteous comments about "coming back.

to the 'truth' and other judgemental urgings.. suppose you replied "i forgive the watchtower society for the terrible things they've done, i need to do that so i can progess as a. spiritual person".. such a response might be very disarming - and difficult to counter.. witnesses generally reject the notion that the watchtower can ever do anything wrong - rationalizing that any cruelties they.

inflict are somehow part of a greater divine purpose.

I don't generally make it a practice to forgive those who refuse to make an apology. I can put behind me what they've done to me personally, but the crimes of the Watchtower society against all its victims goes beyond anything that I have the right to forgive.

Bad Association

by Nosferatu in

jw
friends

were you ever marked as bad association by a particular person or family in the congregation?

did you ever find out the reasons for being bad association?

iiz2cool

I'm assuming that I was marked as bad association. An elder once told me that a very negative letter would follow me to my next congregation if I ever moved. I had no plans to move at that time, but I did about a year later. Sure enough, such a letter was sent, and the PO was very angry about this attempt at character assasination, as I later heard from his wife. I was never told what the contents of the letter was, nor did anyone ever counsel me about anything scriptural.

Hockey season is coming up....YAY!

by Aztec in

c'mon all you hockey fans...who do you think is gonna win it this year?

my prediction, as always, is the red wings.

we got the dominator back between the pipes and we lost sergei to the ducks...bah!

iiz2cool

It'll be Toronto Maple Leafs all the way!!! Damn! I say that every year!

You're right Aztec, the Avalance sux big time. That's why we threw them out of Canada! (Quebec)

Why don't we get some action going here? How about the X-JW's of the first city to get eliminated from the playoffs hosts a bash for the X-JW's of the city that wins the cup? (I'm taking a BIG chance here)

Any takers?

DOCTOR CLAIMS MILK CONTAINS BLOOD. WILL JW'S BAN ITS USE?

by Kenneson in

someone sent me an interesting article that i would like to share.

granted, it is very lengthy, but worth the read.

dr. kradjian maintains that "...all cows' milk contains blood!

iiz2cool

I drink soymilk because of lactose intolerance. Not that I personally mind drinking regular milk, but most people in my immediate vicinity prefer that I stay away from it. If only they'd make ice cream using soy products!

My mother, at 81, has been in and out of the hospital about a dozen times in the last 3 months. She has cancer, and hasn't too much longer to live. She was taken to hospital about 6 weeks ago, and she stayed for about 10 days. During that time they didn't let her shower, and they didn't give her any sponge baths either. Finally, after about a week she went to the bathroom using her walker, and tried to wash herself, since they were neglecting her. She fell and was severely bruised. They said nothing was wrong with her and discharged her shortly after.

Well, she was taken to a different hospital this week and they found the injuries she suffered in the fall. They are:

5 fractured ribs
5 fractured vertebrea in her spine
2 fractures in her pelvic bone, one on the left and one on the right.

I'm seriously considering a lawsuit here. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
