apparently my posts are too hard to read.
i will try to post with as few words as possible for you uneducated ex witnesses who never got a chance to go to college.
some of you have been more than kind, but a lot of you are just assholes.
I went over all the topic history and posts and I am bewildered as to why you think some of us are Assholes???
Forgive me but did I miss something? I am one of the ones without the college education and I wish it wasn't so. We don't need to snub each other here because of that, do we??
i was 16 years old when i got baptised - 1992 - it was at one of the two day assemblies.
only a few of us got baptised.
i pulled out the pictures - there i stood proudly with a friend of mine in our cosies (shirts over) towels wrapped around us.
I got baptized in the 1960's at the age of 15. I DID NOT want to do it, had nothing in my heart that said I should do this. My Dad was an Elder and insisted that I had to do it as an example for the rest in the congregation and he would be disappointed if I didn't do it. So under duress I did. I was disfellowshiped at 18. I think children/teenagers should wait until they are old enough to know what they want to do with their lives.
Here is a UGH photo of my baptism. I hate the Ugly bathing suit and the bathing cap. also a photo of 3 of us awaiting our baptism, I am on the left. We don't look to happy.
i am a bit of a yo yo dieter - i have been dieting ever since i was a teenager, and my role model for this was my mom of course.
in fact one of my very early memories of going shopping with mom and her buying a diet shake mix.
well... i have a little girl who is almost three and i have been thinking about things and i really need to break this cycle of crash diets, losing 5 kgs and picking up 10 once i have lost motivation.
Hey Princess, way to go. I hope it helps you. You are so young and if it helps you to be healthy and look better then go for it.
I have been thinking of doing the same thing. I have got MS and disc degeneration and can barely walk. This is a new problem but now I get very little exercise and the weight starts to creep on.
Wish we could go on a diet together....
Good Luck and I will be rooting for you. Its a very healthy diet. I went on it after I had my last baby. I lost the baby weight within 2 months. They also have such great recipes and you are never hungry with this diet. I have the weight watchers recipe books if you need any recipes. The Chicken Parmasean recipe is so good, its like restaurant food. Its my favorite
i was hoping to create a poll but i do not see an option for that.
thank you for taking the time to answer.
this is a very important question for me because of personal reasons.
I feel so bad I used to spank my little boy at the Kingdom hall when he was noisy. Poor kid was only a toddler. My daughter was quiet and never made a sound but he was a little boy full of energy and stubborn.
NO we didn't have spanking rooms at the Kingdom hall 25 years ago or at the assembly hall either. I had to take him into the toilet stall.
I just cringe when I think about spanking his poor little bottom just because he didn't understand why he had to sit still.
I wouldn't have spanked him but the Elders gave me the evil eye and even approached me a few times saying I had to discipline him as he was disrupting the meeting.
That unkindness and problem led to me fading away and finally not attending meetings anymore. I just thought it was to unfair and cruel.
Churches have separate rooms to entertain children, but Not kingdom halls. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
who knows the best stuff to use?
my daughter gave me two pouches of poison..i put one down - all gone the next morning,!!!.
the next night i put another pouch down, all gone!!
Victor Electronic Rat Trap.....
That sounds like a great method, the best yet. Wonder if we can get those here???
Mouthy I don't think you have rats, they make big holes in the baseboards to get in unless you have open ducts or something.
Good luck with the Warfarin..
this is my wife i am talking about.
i'll get that out of the way first.. she was essentially born into the truth and she is hardcore.
she is a zealot.
You sound like a very loving and patient man. Its not easy living with a Bipolar person, I know about that. Its not easy living with someone obsessed with a religion like JW's either. You are coping with a lot and this must be very difficult for you and a unhappy time for you. In my opinion There is nothing much you can do but be patient and love her and hope she sees the Truth about the Lie . It just takes time and that is not easy for you. Your children are important but do you want them to grow up as JW's and shun you when they grow up if you leave the religion. That is a very important thing to consider.
Right now you will just have to be subtle and bite your tongue or cause problems and have her throw you to the wolves (elders), whew that is not easy. Quirky was talking about the same thing today. He wasn't sure if he was going to have to walk home or not after spewing out his thoughts and feelings to his wife.
I just feel so bad for you all out there that have spouses who are so into the religion. It does put a wedge between you and you all are to be admired for trying your best to cope with it.
I have been there done that, but I was the one that was the wife that was so into the religion because I thought I would die at Armageddon if I didn't stay in the religion. My poor husband who had never been a JW was so shocked when I went back into the religion. He coped as best he could, we had two little kids. He was patient and did not push me, I finally saw the light and left 7 years later. There is hope for some.

murrieta - a 40-year-old mother of two was killed in her murrieta home monday morning, authorities said.
coroner's officials identified the woman as isabelle jarka.
Where is Murrietta??
. The Newspaper article didn't say what State, at least I didn't see it. I live in Canada.
I feel bad for the family and lets hope the Husband didn't kill her it just seemed kind of weird, but thats because I watch tooooo many crime shows like Law and Order on TV.
We do need to wait and see. Poor woman, what a tragedy. The ones that will suffer will be the children without their Mommy.

Do you mean Warfarin??? Yes it works for killing rodents, They use it on people too as you probably know. My Mom took it to thin her blood as a medicine. Scarey stuff. She had to have blood tests every week to make sure her blood was not to think
thats what that does to the mice, it thins their blood and they bleed internally to death.
Good Luck Sweetie.

Sounds a bit strange, Husband left for an hour to get coffee and baby stuff in the morning and someone breaks in and kills her??? Why would someone want to break in and do that when they don't know when he is coming back. Not ideal break in scenario. What do you think??
for some of you, seems like you have your routines, family, jobs, etc....and you can plan you day and enjoy it.. for others of us, everyday is a struggle to make a good day happen.
if i don't work on it, i won't have one.
today will be a good day!
Life is difficult for most of us at times. I haven't had to many difficult times in the past 10 years until 2 years ago when I got a chronic illness and now am in pain everyday plus have trouble walking or doing anything besides sitting. I feel sorry for myself some days but there is still lots of things to do that makes life enjoyable. Like having JWD and all of you to talk to.
Nothing can be worse than losing your child to death and suicide must be heartrending. My daughter tried to do that last Fall, but she has some problems with Anxiety disorder etc. If she drinks or doesn't take her meds she is in trouble. It sure scared us and her too. She is better now and 4 months pregnant.
