by DwainBowman in

the x bitch monster, that drove me to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger 23 years ago, tried to friend me on facebook!!

not a chance in hell!!

i haven't see or talked to that thing in 23 year's.

The X bitch monster, that drove me to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger 23 years ago, tried to friend me on Facebook!! Not a chance in HELL!! I haven't see or talked to that thing in 23 year's. I dropped her off at her parent's place after 16 long years of total HELL, and haven't seen or talked to the bitch since!!!!

Her and her Elder Dad and Elderett Mom set a trap, and I was messed up enough at the time, not to see what was happening! I knew before the first night together was over, that I had stepped into a major pile of Shit!! I packed up and left a year later, but the oh so loving and understanding elders, threatened me if I didn't go back, and like an idiot, I was a good little sheeple and did as I was told!! Even when I did finally have enough, and dropped her at her parent's place, they tried and tried to force me back to go get her back!! The last, they came to my house to read me the riot act!!! The three of them point blank told me that being I didn't have grounds, that i HAD TO!! I excused myself to go to the bathroom. In stead I got my gun, and went back in, and holding it by the barrel, told them to take the gun and shot me in the head, one of them ask why, and I told them, Well that's what your telling me to do, for if I have to spend another day with her, one of us won't be walking out of her alive!!! Then I ask them to leave!! I never heard another word from them!!!

I spent the night at my best friends house back in 72, I was 13. He had a stack of Sears and Penny's catalog's stashed under his bed. In them he had the women's under wear pages all marked!! Neither of us had seen a girl with a bush yet, and wondered why the heck their undines looked so funny. Being we both had sister's we had seen them naked many time's growing up, but still had no clue!! A copula of week later his mom found his stack.! His dad wasn't in the "truth" and he wasn't baptized or anything! His mother took all of his catalog's with her to the next meeting. Sammy had no ideal that she was going to drag him into the back room, to meet with the elders, (I'm not sure if that arrangement was in place yet) They jumped all over him. At the next meeting, witch was his last, they publicly marked him as a bad example, and had a talk about how to treat these people!! So his mom's stupidity back fired on her!! When he told his dad what had happened, he said that Sammy wasn't ever going back to the KH if that how they treated young boy's for being curious, his son would have nothing to do with it! And Sammy never again walked into a KH! When his sister found out what had happened, she refused to ever go again as well!!

We lived a block away, I had to sneak around to see him. I lost touch with him a couple of years later, but ran into him three years ago, on a trip to that area. I wish we could have stayed connected all those years!!!

Care packages from "The Branch"

by DwainBowman in

i'm sorry, i didn't see that someone had already posted about this!!.

i just love the special relief packages that are being provided by "the branch" it's such a "loving provision".

funny how they leave out that it's not costing them a dime, but is being given to them, to pass out!.

A local church had a community day, and were handing out the very same stuff! The difference is that they weren't taking credit for it!

Have you heard of a Jehovah's Witness on federal SSDI disability Pioneering ? How common is this ?

by BottleGate_ in

asking 4 a friend.

DwainBowman

Disability, is not Welfare!

I have known many that pioneered while on disability. Most were legit.

I was in a cong for a short time, where if you were working full time, the body pushed you to quit full time work, and take part time, and sign up for food stamps and other welfare programs. If you didn't, do so and pioneer, they would not even call on you in meetings!! This cong, had 70 publisher, with 40 of them pioneering!!!!

DwainBowman

Oh by the way, he's the biggest hypocrite I have ever known! His older brother is a smoker and a drunk, but with his mon's and brother's hely, he's been able to stay in good standing some how!! I have pictures of him doing both, that were given to me by his son! I have seen him many time smoking! His eldu brother threatened me and another family member over this issue!!!

And I thought that my X in laws were big hypocrites !!
