  Well, I'm a dad for the first time all over again

  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).

  I am not weak.
  
  I might be "Softer" than Para. I think my gentleness and natural instinct to look for the best in people is a good counterpoint to Para's logical, dispassionate way of thinking.
  
  I would like to hear what he has to say on this topic.

  yup, that's right, up.

  there's no hidden meaning or agenda to this post.

  up is a direction that we rarely pay much attention to.

  I see the hole in the ceiling where I tried to find the dryer vent to fix it.

  think i just did something really stupid.

  i have had a bad couple of days.

  i was in the playground yesterday and had my jw bil stood right in front of me ignoring me totally (i'm d'ad) but talking to my hubby, who said nothing to him (her my eifes here too or something would have been nice) so i felt like total dogs poo and we both ended up in tears over it all when i got home.

  I just completely lost it with my father!!!

  my mums mum is very sick, she has been in hospital the last month with really bad infection, they have tried every time of antibiotics to get rid of it.

  this last week she has refused to eat and drink, she told my mum she was tired of all of this, and basically said her goodbyes the other night.. we went in on saturday to see her, my mum was there, and even tho it was a little strained we managed to talk for a few hours it was nice to see her.. i got a phone call off my dad's mum today saying that my nan was deteriorating, so i msg my mum to see if this was true, it wasnt, my nan likes to dramatise things, my mum promised me she would keep me updated.

  i received a phone call about an hour ago from my nan (dads mum) saying that the infection has cleared up and that she is improving and eating and drinking.

  Did you ever choke while offering prayer?

  by Jourles in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  of all the times i was called upon to say prayer, i only remember choking once - but it was such a big choke i totally embarrassed myself for days on end afterwards.

  and this one time wasn't even at the kh, it was in a home right before we were going to pre-study the wt.. there were roughly 3 elders, their wives, and some other close friends of mine in the living room.

  i'd say there were around 10 of us total.

  Kind of off topic but Para will laugh at this story.
  
  My Mother used to complain to me that none of his family used "Jehovah" in their prayers. She said it was a sign that they weren't really spiritual. I started paying attention and they do use god's name just not all the time.
  
  FIL gives nice prayers.

  My youngest says "Sh*t" for sit and "F#*k" for truck. So listening to him playing is worse that hanging around the local hoodlums.
  
  As Para says "Foul mouthed little boy isn't he?"

  here is one effect of our going out in field circus, that they will not tell you about.

  no, not the getting persecuted.

  no, not that last-call syndrome where the last call takes forever.

  I never really thought about the late meeting nights and how that affected my learning. I did pretty well in school until Mom started taking us to meetings on weeknights. Also no one noticed I couldn't read until grade two when the teacher told my mom. So much for the theory that witness kids read sooner than non Dubs.

  I choked with anger once while offering a prayer before service.
  
  The idiot brother who was there had his privileges taken away so the sisters had to do the service arrangement themselves. I figured being the youngest one there (18?) someone older would do the prayer.
  
  Hell no, the self-richeous biddies thought I should even though the brother was a friend of mine and I was terribly embarrassed for him and pissed at him for even putting us in that position. Sorry Para but your mother was one of them and even ran out to the coat room to get the lovely rain hat for me to wear.
  
  I think they couldn't decide if the brother should do the prayer or not and none of them wanted to take the chance on angering God or WTS or who ever.
