  you know you're from louisiana when...... your sunglasses fog up when you step outside.

  you reinforce your attic to store mardi gras beads.

  you don't look twice when you see pink flamingos in yards of nice subdivisions during mardi gras.

  we speak like people from brooklyn or boston. in north louisiana, they have typical southern accents.

  HA! yeah, my husband lived in MA for a while and he always tells me that I have an accent similar to Bostonians.

  Dear Dad

  a father was walking past his son's bedroom and saw, to his surprise, that the room was tidy and the bed made.

  then he noticed an envelope propped up on the pillow with the word 'dad' on the outside.

  with a trembling hand he opened the envelope and read the enclosed letter: .

  Well, y'all asked for it.......I was born into the JW religion. My parents and grandparents on both sides are JWs. I never pioneered and only got baptized b/c my cousin (same age) got baptized at 12 and the pressure was on me to get baptized. "Don't you want to live forever and make Jehovah happy?" So i did, at 13 what else was I supposed to do?

  Then i got married at 18. (1998) Everything seemed fine for the first year. But he was a loser. Never kept a job, constantly having bigger dreams but not doing anything about it. Eventually he bought a restaurant (his only source of income) and I worked 40 hrs/week at my day job and at night and during weekends worked at the restaurant. I hated that place. He would always leave to go to the local bar to brag about having a restaurant to any woman who would listen and drink all the profits away. I know now i should have left him then. But i was trying to be a good JW. We sold the restaurant and moved to another state to "start over". (2000) Yeah whatever. How blind I was.

  He got a job as restaurant manager. He made friends and basically dropped out of the "truth", but did what was necessary to stay in good standing. Made me upset b/c i was on my own in a new state and no friends. I saw the hyprocritical actions of him and it angered me. Well, in 2003, i got started a new job and met some wonderful people. They are my saviors. They helped me see what was going on.

  I decided that enough was enough, and went to the elders to see if they could help me get him back on track. (2004) My husband was basically having sex with the computer and it was making me crazy to the point that I wanted to leave. this was not our only issue, he stayed out all night and probably had girls on the side that I was unable to prove, (therefore no grounds for divorce) but had stong feelings that he was cheating on me. At this point he wasn't even going to the meetings, or service or anything. He didn't want anything to do with me, we hadn't had sex for 365 days straight! So I went to them letting them know I was moving out or he was. Well that started some crap. So both me and him had to go into the committee meetings and he is denying everything at first then he said he had gone to some porn sites. Well, they turn to me and asked if I was the reason he was going to the porn sites. Then to let me know that a husband needed to feel wanted by his wife.....etc.(then more BS from those appointed by Jah) I wanted to get up and punch each one of them in the face. Then my then husband says that he doesn't care what they say, he's going to do whatever he wants to and I can leave if I want to he could care less. I tell them about all the times he physically abused me and all the hateful things he did to me. Well he gets df'd and I get reproved. It's never announced because he, my husband, appeals the decision and keeps doing everything he was before "I dragged him into the meetings" and GUESS WHAT?!! Since he appealed and basically got lost in the system, He is now in good standing with the organization. CAN YOU BELIEVE?!

  Oh, and after I left, living by myself, I was sick one night and didn't go to the meeting, so, being the caring people they are the three from my Judicial Committee decided to knock on my door after the meeting (around 10:00 p.m.) and here I am in my night shirt and nothing else and they keep banging on the door. I wasn't about to open the door to three men while I was home alone and not dressed and sick on top of that. They had a fit about that because "they knew I was at home and I didn't answer the door".

  So fine, I decide to visit my mom (Dec. 2004) and while doing this I visit my "worldly" brother who has a roommate and sparks flew. (It could be the no-sex I was getting, or I was mesmerized by my bro's christmas tree....but whatev.) I filed for legal divorce Jan 2005 and didn't put in the papers that I committed adultrey. (Gasp) Well, I moved back March 2005 and got engaged December 2006. Got married again to a wonderful man and we've been trying to have a baby.

  I am free now, I am truly free. (happy tears)

  He is now in federal prison.

  So this is where my tax money is going, helping to feed, clothe and provide medical attention to a prisoner. I don't agree with it but c'est la vie.
