who's fault is it?

by bigdreaux in

when it comes to the society, are they to blame for the control they use upon the members, or is it the peoples fault?

should we blame the society for tricking people?

or is it the people that let themselves be tricked?

bigdreaux

wow dorktacular, i think you nailed it. very very good point.

oh, i was pissed off beyond words.. i am leaving, though it looked like i might not for a bit.. we got a big trip planned to the north shore of lake superior where we have rented a geodesic dome cabin, and i was getting the aposta-truck checked and serviced for the long long drive.

i got the platform on the back, built my steel folding ramp, sweet setup so i can take my scoot and have a modicum of freedom and self respect.. all is good until they start the oil change.. i had extensive diagnostic work done at a garage i had trusted and they had said my cooling system was not losing pressure, they took like two days to do these tests.

i figures it must be the radiator cap or the overflow that was doing it.. the oil change guys, who were not the one's who did my diagnostics, found my oil to be like a milkshake!

roller dave, you made a bad problem worse by driving it. i'll bet money the head gasket is blown. no amount of pressure testing is going to find this, but, when your losing coolant, and there are no leaks, any mechanic with half a brain will check the oil. the water from the coolant system is bleeding into the oil via the head gasket. by driving it, you probably warped the head. if you have a dodge ram like in your pic, you may be okay. it has steel heads. if it is a car with aluminum heads, that is ALOT of work. DO NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE UNTIL IT'S FIXED!!!!!!!

hope it works out for you bro.

My mom called...my niece no longer wants to be one of JWs

by shopaholic in

my mom called and so did several other folks over the past week to tell me that my neice has announced that she no longer wants to be one of jws and will not be returning to the kingdom hall.

supposedly she made this annoucement a several months ago and no one took her seriously till her mom (my ex-sister-in-law and a super pioneer of more than 20 years) just stopped attending meetings a few months ago.

anyway, since they both seemed to have stopped drinking the kool-aid, i get the conf-call from several family members.

shopaholic, you have a p.m.

bigdreaux

My Pioneer mother wants me (DFed) to fix her computer... HA!!!

by Hangin_on in

when i call my mother she says she can't talk to me because i am dfed.. i asked her to help me and my pregnant wife move and she said "i don't think i can do that"... whos not allowing her to do it?.

she always calls me if her car or her computer breaks.. she called me today because her computer broke.

so.... i turned the tables on her.

bigdreaux

your better than me. i would've told her to piss off, i admire you.

when i found this site i considered myself a fader with family still in the cult.

i thought that i should limit personal information so that any lurking scumbag wts reps couldn't track me and jeopardize the relationships i walk on eggshells to maintain with my family.

but something happened last night that caused me to suddenly not give a rats anal orifice what jw's think.. i got called 'daddy'.. my wife and i went through the court system in the early 90's to get her 2nd cousin who was 11 at the time, out of protective services (which was a group home for abused children).

bigdreaux

AWESOME!!! it's so refreshing to know people like you are still out there.

Who is to blame for cigarette addiction?

by Fisherman in

people usually get addicted to cigarettes when they are children.

the state does nothing or pretends and puts on a show.

ai think that the sate is gulty of child abuse and that it is the duty and responsibility of those in power to protect children from this deadly addiction.

bigdreaux

This thread is too preposterous to even give serious consideration.

so is that comment.

i am!

i knew it was bad for me, knew it was addictive, knew it was expensive, i did it anyway. for me to point to my parents, government, or the cig companies is ludacris!

This Board is REFRESHING!

even tho some of you will think i'm making this up- i'm not!-.

walking next to the river, thinking & praying on these matters, i compared the spirit displayed here and on other boards, and realized it is heightening my bond and respect for my brotherhood!

also, i started playing 'what if' with what i have always considered some of our 'goofy speculation of prophecy' - such as the small, little better than a church group, band of what eventually became the first jws released from prison in 1919...what if - as ridiuculous as it sounds- it was true!.

We can take mistakes.
We can take imperfection.
What we cannot tolerate is lies and cover-ups of lies.
There is no excuse for that.
