  Do you know how strong you all are?

  i'm thinking this morning at the enormous effort required to leave the witnesses.

  that you all found your way here is amazing.

  you are a select group of strong people, who will not allow life or any organization to knock you down.

  Do elders take vows, and what are they?

  more specifically, do they have to repent of past wrongdoings, and do they have to make amends to those they harmed in the past?

  (i know, this question sounds like aa.

  )

  Vows of repentance - hell no!

  Vows to bust everyone's chops - hell yes!

  this is one of the sadest days in my life, my beloved husband marco passed away this morning at 5:15 am.. it has been a dreadful day.

  but my dear friend was with most of the day while we went togerther to make funeral arrangements.. that was really hard on me.

  i have done nothing but cry and cry all day, i finally fell asleep a few hours ago while my friend diane was here and she let me sleep.

  dear all,.

  those of you who have posted here regularly for the past four years have helped me immensely in my recovery from watchtower and have shared with me in my journey.

  you will also know that, after winning my battle with watchtower (save for one daughter who is still stuck fast in the org and shunning the rest of us), i have been fighting an even greater battle these past three years - cancer!.

  Free Loader in the KH

  each cong.

  those witnesses that are lazy, go from job to job, and just becasue the are "zealous" for the truth they expect help from other.

  i remeber one elder (married with one child) expected people to give him and his wife gas monie to go out on service.

  Free loading starts at the top. The biggest abusers of "He who doesn't work, neither let him eat" are the members of the GB, then the DOs and especially the COs, all lazy, worthless, big mouths who sponge off others. These negative exemplars and role models should be starved by the great crowd and then the issue would be a moot one.

  It's all about a positive mental outlook, and it looks like you have one. Don't forget to put WTs in the van back windows, so that if you get driven off the road, you can use the persecution reason.

  The answer is simple - the "flock" should quit, and let the elders pat each other on the back for being self willed mean bastards.

  2. friends

  so, i'm heading to the beach for the weekend with some friends, but we decided that we needed to go to the pool to get pre-tanned.. we had a blast, and it was a perfect example of the normal non-illicit activities that witnesses would rather die than engage in.. what better way to start the weekend off then, with some smiles and some in your faceness.. me and my buddy marty.

  me and allie, my friend's little sister.. .

  allie "tattooing" me.
