  so often we are stuck in the negative part of life and see so much of the bad.

  the news is full of it.

  i look for the things that are nice.

  My interesting thing was the first thing I saw today. I was woken up by meeowwing and then screaming. I should point out right now that we don't own a cat.

  I heard meeowing, ignored it and drifted back to sleep (so apparently did my girlfriend) then later on I was woken up by this meowwing but again ignored it and went back to a light doze but still this cat kept meeowwing. Then my girlfriend started screaming, I sat bolt upright in bed and there on our bed was a cat!

  It must have got in through the open window even though our bedrooms on the first floor. I grabbed the cat and took it downstairs to the garden door and let it out there.

  I own a big chocolate Lab who normally sleeps in the bedroom so that cat was REALLY lucky today in that he was asleep downstairs because he hates cats.

  Polish your skin and other advertizing language

  it used to be ok to wash your skin.

  then they got into all the younger, more glowing, cleansing words.

  now we have to "polish" our skin.

  Bit off topic but after seeing brucies shark I thought I'd let on about the shark in Oxford, England. It's a bit bigger than Brucies.

  As I understand it the results of DA'ing are the same as if you were DF'd nowadays, the congregation is still told to snub you.

  I took 15 years of turning the other cheek and giving a good witness. I was made to feel a freak because I couldn't take part in the birthday's and Halloween stuff at school and felt completely left out at Christmas when all the other kids were getting excited about what they were getting and I'd have to admit that I wasn't getting a thing.

  A secondary school I stood out like a sore thumb because I was the only kid in my class that was excused R.E. All the other kids had to sit there learning about the baby Jesus and the travels or Paul while I did my homework. Kids hated me for that, because I got out of a really boring lesson. Then there was the Sex, the smoking, the fighting and the masturbation stuff. Dumb dub kid here couldn't do any of that but the rest of my school could and so that made me even more of a freak amongst my peers. I took 15 years of it, 15 yrs of abuse and bullying and then my mother decided she wasn't going to the meetings anymore and I was free. I can remember the look on the face of the first kid that called me "holy Joe" that first week of my freedom. That look of shock and horror on his face when 15 years of anger was delivered to his face via my fist.

  "Numb Nuts" struck back.

  (Wow that made me feel really angry writing about that)

  I`m perplexed; What legislates for the gross lack of love?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i`ve been out of the org for a while now and im perplexed about why there is such a lack of genuine live in the cong`s.

  when you think about it, they are taught to exemplify jc, they are taught to exemplify the 'god of love'.

  the brothers are constantly encouraged at ms & elder meetings to deal with the brothers 'lovingly'.

  I think it all fell apart down the hall when we were told by the co to stop associating outside the hall as a congregation. by that I mean there were no longer congregation zoo trip or days out, in-fact groups of 4 or more were frowned upon.

  My congregation took the counsel to heart and became very frosty. A few years later a different Co got up on the platform and told us all off for not being very friendly as a congregation!

  There was a bit of a scandal attached to this rebuilding work that was being done by dubs. I don't know the full details but it was something along the lines of Brooklyn putting insurance claims for the cost of repairs plus the cost of the labour but then they were getting brothers to do it for nothing, thereby making a fortune in the unpaid wages.

  Someones bound to come along and correct me though.

  Taking on the military like that and upsetting the families of dead soldiers I'm surprised their dungy little church hasn't been blown up in the middle of the night.
