Isn't it a big No-No for Dubs to refer to KH as CHURCH?
by limbogirl inlast saturday i was at my favorite coffee shop with my three year old son -- great place because it has a train table to entertain the kids while mom has some coffee.
first thing i notice is what appears to be dubs but on closer inspection the two daughters look way too trendy to be dubs -- the parents, however, are spot on and were so dubesque i nearly laughed out loud.
so, hanging out having coffee with some other moms and i notice the daughters of the above mentioned family keep smiling at my son.

random memory from district assembly
by limbogirl ini remember being at a district convention when three young mormon men came in and somehow ended up sitting next to me.
i was sitting with three of my girlfriends and although we were all 19 years old we had to sit within a row or two of our parents in order to be policed appropriately.
the assembly was a yawnfest as usual but the mormon guys showing up added a bit of interest -- i immediately picked up on the fact that they were there for laughs not because they had any interest in becoming jdubs.

Gimme 5 - if you went in field service today
by limbogirl infrom the world of dub inspired merchandise, i happened upon this little gem brought to us by cafe press.
it's the g5 or gimme 5 on-line store which sells apparel, coffee mugs and the like with phrases like, "gimme 5 - if you went out in field service today.
" my personal fave is the wall clock that says countdown to paradise.

perspective on growing up in a jw family after i had my son
by limbogirl incurious to see if anyone else can relate to this....i've been away from jw-world for many years yet really began to have a lot of issues resurface for me when i became a parent two and a half years ago.
.........specifically, i began thinking a lot about my parents raising me and i'm just blown away at the way in which they chose to fill my head with jw teachings from such an early age.
i can't imagine ever teaching my little boy about wicked people, demons, satan, destruction at armageddon and so forth at such a young age.

column in St Louis paper by former witness
by limbogirl inreading this made my stomach hurt...especially when the elder reminds the kids that the wedding is a "theocratic" event and restraint should be shown when doing the electric slide.
ugh.

i was incredulous and said, "what are you doing?

impact of meetings/assemblies on my non-JW life
by limbogirl ini grew up jw and like many of you spent countless hours in boring meetings and long assemblies that seemed to go on forever.
as a little kid i developed a talent for sitting at the meeting or assembly and looking as though i were paying attention but honestly i wasn't even in the room.
i perfected this over a number of years and now find that as a non-jw adult it's really a problem.

Thankful for Poops
by limbogirl ini worry about my 3 1/2 year old's exposure to the dubs via his grandparents (my ex-inlaws).
this weekend someone used the word "amen" and my son said, "you can only use the word amen if you are praying.
" i decided to see if he knew what praying meant so asked him to say a prayer.
