  Are you addicted to this website?

  by Podiatrist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean seriously, since im not a jw perhaps id have a different opinion about it all.

  but a colleague from work says she dont want to come here as she got addicted to it and couldnt get anything else done.

  she apparently knows of similar other cases.

  kinda, sorta, but not really. Mine comes in waves. I cant be here much during the school year, too much going on. But then in the summer, since my shedule is a little less tight, I sure seem to be here alot!

  can anyone tell me about what the average amount of homes are 'hit' in field service in one time of going?

  i ask because i always said the day he goes door to door, so will i. i just 'hit' 54 mailboxes/newspaper boxes in a very short time.

  (nice walk) i printed out the tri-fold from silentlambs and included the 'cease & desist' letter with "how to get on the jehovah's witness do not call list printed on the outside.

  Thats great Carla, good for you. But like T.S. said, witnesses purposely walk very slow. It's called the pioneer shuffle, or stroll. Its all about counting time, not saving souls. The more time they can count, without having to actually speak to someone, the better. Now, if they really meant business, perhaps they could cover as much territory as you just did.

  Is it better to just LEAVE or FIGHT?

  by ljwtiamb in

  although, i have not been victim to the same level of damage from the wts as many of you on this site, i have noticed that it is very difficult to fight such a large entity with deep pockets and passionate (though misled) supporters.. .

  since i am still in the very early stages of leaving/fading, i wonder:.

  i have already spent the vast majority of my life sacrificially serving the interests of this org.

  attempt to move on and enjoy the remaining years of my life, freely pursuing my own interests

  This gets my vote. That is what I am doing.

  first post, need to purge my feelings!

  by Krista in

  this is my first post and here's my story.. my father became a witness long ago and my mom remained a lutheran.

  our attendance was sporadic due to mom's opposition.

  they knew our mom was lutheran and that she kept us from attending many meetings.

  Well, it seems that dear sister virtue wears only flats but it sure has not dampened her love life any." I turned and walked off.

  Priceless! Welcome I am glad you are here. Great story, and sounds pretty typical of what I remember from my Dub days.

  Raising boys

  by JeffT in

  raising boys (or for that matter, girls, too).

  a) for those with no children - this is totally hysterical!.

  b) for those who already have children past this age, this is hilarious.. c) for those who have children this age, this is not funny.. d) for those who have children nearing this age, this is a warning.. e) for those who have not yet had children, this is birth control.. .

  I try to do what I can naturally. Remember the hype on anti-oxidants? Those are very helpful, and the B Vitamins are great for females with stress. Not just the regular RDA, I take 4 and 5000 % of the RDA. And calcium, lots of it. Also, more than the rda, but not more than 500 miligrams at a time, thats all your body can absorb at one time.

  Also, many people have the symptoms of fibromayalgia, but the truth is, they really have either an mis-diagnosed, or under diagnosed thryoid problem. That is what happened to me. I went into complete shut down both physically and mentally, couldnt even think of my own middle name at times. Until I pushed and persisted to have the "correct" test done to check for my thyroid problem, (after regular blood tests showed all normal).

  Maybe have some thyroid tests done, Dede, see what they show.

  Sorry about what you went through with you BIL, sounds terrible.

  Gosh JV, honestly how do you stand it? I remember those days, those meetings, even though they were so long ago.
