Anything funny happen at a jw wedding?
by tall penguin ini have a few funny jw wedding stories.
the first is what happened at my ex-husband's wedding.
he remarried only 6 months after our divorce and so i guess the brother who gave the marriage talk hadn't quite recovered because when he announced the new couple to the congregation, he announced my name rather than the new bride's.

You're going the thong way!
by tall penguin inso a friend told me something recently that just blew my mind.
she was interrogated by some elders regarding her choice of underwear.
she was being questionned regarding her conduct with a man and apparently her choice of undergarments reflected the level of intent in her actions.

Worse Case Scenario Mentality
by tall penguin ini'm finding this to be a difficult pattern of thinking to over-ride.
being raised a jw we're always on edge waiting for armageddon and so we see everything around us in light of that.
i still find myself going down that road mentally whenever i get any unexpected news in life.
