Just trying to fish out if there are any boxing fans here.

I think, every month this year I've plucked down the $55 for Pay Per View including last night for De La Hoya.

Reasons Why We LOVE This Place

by minimus in

i love this place.

where else can you find fun, friends, research and the "pulse" of jws and exes?

when we come on board here, we realize that we all share different things that expose us to why we're out or in the process of getting out.

Min,

I have to agree.

This is a nice place.

I remember an elder telling me...

"Did you ever notice that ex JW always hang out with each other."

And BOTH of our responses was like...

"Yeah, because they know it's the truth and they are wallowing in their misery."

And I believe that. THEN.

But do me, this place is sort of like a AA group or an Incest Survivor's Group.

Sure, they are some heated debates here. But all in all. It's a place to come here and be real.

Anna,

If it's like Hand Written Words.

Tell me about it!!!

I can't even write my own name anymore.

J/K.

But I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

I email my mom every day.

You should start at thread and ask everyone else.

I can't tell you how many times the elders have told me this.

So my ex-J Dub girfriend just emailed me asking me why I haven't been to the meetings.

This REALLY got my blood going.

So I wrote her this email...

Se if you can see how I APPLIED the "WAIT on JEHOVAH" line.

And, BTW. It's not mocking Jehovah. It's just of turn around on how THE WT applies it.

Ok...

Here is the email. See if you could spot the "different way" of bring out the "wait on... "

THE EMAIL FROM ME TO HER...

Anyway, thanks for inquiring about me as far a the truth.

Jesus was the one that made the rule up.

When you have a problem with a brother. And we're not talking about a small problem. We're talking about a big problem.

You go to him.

If he doesn't listen. You take a brother with you.

If he doesn't listen to them. Then you talk to the congregation.

That's the law.

I've talked to the brother.

I talked to the elders in that elder's congregation.

I talked to the elders in the *** Congregation.

I talked to the C.O. before this one.

I talked to this new C.O. TWICE.

The last time I talked to him at the hall, he told me, and as Jehovah is my witness.

I'm not going to help.

This makes 5 times that I have took the Christian route to settle this matter.

And this is NOT a petty issue.

This is what is going on.

The brother, and I know you know who he is.

But the brother in question is the most prominent elder in the *** Congregation.

What he did is an embarrassment to him, and an embarrassment to the congregation.

Everyone is afraid to speak up to him.

So for this reason it's easier to sweep me under the rug.

And all I'm asking for is the man to step up to the plate, and meet with me and two other brothers so I can accuse him of his sins so he can repent or deny.

I can't get this meeting.

This is Jehovah's arrangment.

You approach the brother. And if he doesn't listen. You bring along a brother.

So far, I can't get to the "bring along a brother" part, because everyone is afraid to be the person who has to stand up to this man.

The stock JW response is " when it shouldn't stop you from serving Jehovah."

And it hasn't.

I'm still serving Jehovah down to this day.

People will say, "Jehovah's Organization is run by imperfect people."

And that it is.

So I forgive them for the first 5 oversites.

But until then, I am awaiting my meeting.

And it's kind of like this.

You go into a restaurant and the service is real bad.

But the food is great. So you eat it.

But you complain to the manager and he doesn't do anything.

So then you complain to the owner.

So I'm waiting on Jehovah right now.

I'm pretty sure that soon I will get my meeting with the brother.

Morons who steal my laundry detergent.

by Nancy Drake in

) then after i bought a full bottle, did one load, and came back to an almost empty bottle, i knew it was theft.

since then, i have to lock it up.

Confucious

I vote for the booby trap.

Estee,

Couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic in your comment.

But since you're from Canada...

In the U.S., October 31 is Halloween.

And pumpkins and some vegetables are just associated with Halloween, because in the U.S. people that celebrate Halloween use those vegetables to decorate their home.

JWs and definitions

by seattleniceguy in

have you noticed how often witnesses will define a word in a comment or talk, and then extrapolate incredible conclusions from the definiton?

i always found this amusing.

sister smart will raise her hand and say something like, i think that it is very interesting that the society has used the phrase "relegate our service to a second place.

Confucious

I HATE THAT!!! It's usually like some 3rd or 4th definition down that they bring in to have some EARTH SHATTERING and PROFOUND MEANING TO.

Dooley and Lamb's,

My girlfriend just read this thread and pissed herself.

She said that she was going to also buy Indian Corn and those little tiny Squash things.

If she did, I would have Sh!t in my pants.
