  believe it or not kiddies, lisa (ldh) and i have been on this website when you were still growing your baby teeth.

  i have brought up this subject many years ago, so i will resurrect it again.

  when i was a kid, i used to look at my green bible as i sat totally bored in the kingdom hall and looked at the cool donosaurs on the inside cover of the green bible.

  trying to get rid of old issues

  remember how at the district assemblies they was always the sign to only use one paper towel.

  and that paper towel was so thin that it didn't dry your hands.

  but you didn't dare take more than one towel because everyone was watching you.. after all this time i still feel slightly guilty about taking more than one paper towel when drying my hands in the restroom.

  Loosie, I also feel guilty about using more than one paper towel. Too funny, I think you're right, it's because of those damn signs. I used to pass it off as environmentalism, and I would leave the bathroom with wet hands because those itty-bitty towels are just too small to get all the wet off... but now I realize I'm still afraid the bathroom attendants are going to give me the evil eye if I use a second towel. Bwahahahaha!!!
  Also, I just realized last week that I "don't like jewelry with hearts" because of that old "hearts are pagan" thing. I really DO like jewelry with hearts, and I think I'll buy some now. So phhhhbbbbt! on you Watchtower!

  let me just start by saying...i sell on ebay.. when people are buying things from me, i sometimes click on their feedback to see what they have bought in the past because i am bored and obviously don't have enough to do with the 2 kids, house, 3 dogs, and 4 cats...lol!.

  this one guy who is bidding on one of my auctions has purchased at least 10 of the old purple jw kingdom interlinears.. are they really that interesting?

  is he one us us spreading the real truth or is he a jw buying back old light?.

  Purple interlinear had an interesting appendix on the cross, which was changed in the navy blue interlinear. I'm sure there are other changes...

  situation ugly.

  long story short - adult children have refused contact with df'd father for a few years.

  (except for the initial obligatory hate letter full of references to satan and some disgusting name calling).

  Hit 'em where it hurts. Write them a letter and tell them that due to their atrocious and unchristian behaviour, the likes of which would make Jesus vomit, you now tell EVERYONE you come into contact with, how your husband is treated by his children, who are following the rules of the Watchtower. Tell them that, thanks to your horrible story of their actions, there are now hundreds of people that will never fall victim to the evil slave- the Watchtower, and all you have to do is tell the truth.
  Keep it really short. Write it in a postcard, in fact, so they can't return it unopened and unread.
  Geez, the WT really turns people into poopyheads, doesn't it?
  A thought just occured to me, is it possible that they have a second motivation to act like this... to support the mother (ex-wife?) Is this like some sort of line in the sand, but they are using the disfellowshipping excuse to draw it?

  hope this worked.

  i thought a memorial was not to be a way to make the deceased the object of adoration.

  isnt it supposed to glorify joho and make known the glorious prospect of the ressurection?

  There's a WT graveyard out at Watchtower Farms, for those that don't have family on the "outside" to buy them a plot or an urn.

  It's a nice handout. Too bad when the average JW dies, if the family did something like this, well... it wouldn't be allowed. Two sets of measuring weights.

  My sis calls & says,"Your dead"&"I wish you'd died in a car accident"(long)

  ya know... i'm a bit amazed at times at how utterly out of touch with reality jw's can be.

  here's a little bit of a background of what's been going on....

  i've been having an on going issue with my jw family about my husband & i(and our 4 young children) no longer going to meetings and us having questions/problems with this religion.we are not df'd nor da'd (at this point) but have not been to a meeting in about 7 months and have been inactive for probably 3-4 years now.we haven't lived near my parents for several years so they have been a little "in the dark" so to speak as to us being inactive but we kinda were given a bit of "lee-way" since 5 yrs.

  Sorry, need to moan and belly ache

  i normally try not to moan and belly ache here, but today i'm really down.

  the other day i was kidding and joking about being "socially-challenged", it can be fun to do this... but sometimes it catches up to me.

  i spend the vast majority of my evenings and weekends alone... movies, restaurants, community events, parties, you name it.

  Geez Else. You ARE TOO cute, plus interesting and intelligent. If I were single, I'd go out with you in a heart-beat. Girls like me, like guys like you because we talk so damn much someone has to be the "quiet" one. Just ask my husband.
  Yup, he works in tech, he has a couple of friends, mainly because he's not exactly a *ahem* social butterfly. His quiet is often mistaken for a self-esteem issue, when really, it's just that he doesn't have anything to add to the conversation. (Probably because I already said it.) But he is cool and smart.
  Let me tell you about our first date: Um... well, I asked him out. Yeah. Because he had good manners, and I was tired of dating a bunch of tools who wouldn't hold the door open for me, or say "please," "thank you," and "excuse me." Anyways, I knew him socially very slightly, but I needed a lift somewhere and called him. He couldn't leave work at that time, and called me to apologize. I told him no problem, and said I was hungry and was he hungry... if so, meet me at *gag* Red Robin. (I HATE that place, but it was close by, and LOUD.) He showed up, no joke, with a newspaper, and... wait for it... jokes. Yes, dear Else, I found out later that he had gone online and looked up JOKES to tell me so he'd have something to say just in case we needed an ice-breaker. He also stopped and bought a newspaper in case we needed another subject to discuss.
  Luckily, he didn't need the jokes or the newspaper. HA! 'Cause I talked his ear off. Then we went down to the animation festival and watched Pib and Pog. (My idea, cause funny stuff on a first date is good... except for jokes off the internet. Bad. Unless they're funny.)
  So... I guess what I'm saying is that being "socially handicapped," may not be as much of a handicap as you think. Okay, maybe my story didn't exactly make that point. LOL! but the kind of woman you want is the kind of woman who actually appreciates a quieter guy like you, so just make yourself available by suffering through the social gatherings, even if it kills you :) , and watch out for psycho-chicks. Daytime gatherings are better because then the married women are there looking for nice guys to set up with their single friends. Start schmoozing the moms and marrieds, and leave the rest to the married women's uncontrollable desire to introduce their friends to the guys they already like.
