  My wife finds fulfillment with the Dubbies

  by Black Sheep in

  2. friends

  i can't.. she is currently 'helping' someone in what i suspect is the same situation that the last (and only) person she has helped into the troof.. we love each other very much and i just have to learn how to keep my mouth shut.

  i was brought up by fanatical jw parents and dropped out at 15, had a fling with it before armageddon (1975), just in case, but during that time we married and she took to the jws like a duck to water.

  i dropped out.

  Black Sheep,

  When reading your post two thought came to mind....

  first... "When persons are in great danger from a source that they do not suspect or are being misled by those they consider their friends, is it an unkindness to warn them? They may prefer not to believe the warning. They may even resent it. But does that free one from the moral responsibility to give that warning?" - THE WATCHTOWER January 15,1974

  second.....

  My parent became Jehovah's Witnesses in the early 60's. They were young adults searching for a way of life. Someone to tell them how to live. Being that they lived in Sacramento California, they could have joined a number of religions or cults. I think things could have been alot worse, they could have joined, Peoples Temple, Branch Davidian, Unification Church and Symbionese Liberation Army, ect....

  ...I'm not much help am I. Nevermind

  i'm heading back to seattle.

  for real, this time.

  i thought i was going back when my boyfriend dumped me about a month ago, but it turns out that i'm a weenie, and decided to stay and try to make it work when he begged me not to go.

  Pick-up lines

  funny article on msn...

  "what's your sign?".

  the epitome of cheese, this line, which has been around since the beatles came to america, ranks as the very worst line in dating history.

  I had a guy tell me "I'd sure like to get in your pants"

  I told him I already had one a**hole in there and didn't need another one.

  Do you see yourself or others in this list?

  by spiritwalker in

  2. friends

  as a long time poster on other message boards.

  i have often noticed, that despite the topic, there are always certain personalities on each.

  i guess it is kind of like the congregation, in that no matter what one you were in, there were characters that matched up with the one you left.

  Ummm...yep, here I am....

  Neutral Poster : This is a poster who comments in brief neutral ways. Someone who never really seems to be 100% convinced on anything, and enjoys reading and just commenting without having to take sides. Often seen saying, "please tell me more, I am enjoying the conversation."

  and me again.....

  The Fluffer : Basically, they post nonsense that keeps the room moving and never really do enough to hardly even be known. They fluff, plain and simple.

  but I'd appreciate it if you all would see me like this....

  The happy poster : Oh golly, oh gee, life is just so great and I want to say happy things to everyone and put a positive spin to everything. I don?t know how you could be down, when the world is so wonderful. Happy happy, joy joy. I am smiling at all times

  Happy....happy....joy.....joy

  Is Michael Jackson Guilty?

  I tend to lean more towards not guilty....because

  He has access to children all over the world. Why would he pick a child that has access to the court system, lawyers, ect...

  Also, there are parents that would gladly sell their children to him for money, drugs, ect...

  but what i fear is he is possibly in a disscoiation state at times or even may have multiple personalites and possibly be doing things that maybe he is not even aware of. it would explain a lot of things

  Hadn't even thought that, Wednesday...that could just possibly work as a defence.

  20 Years Ago Today

  well, it's officially, november 22, 2003. .

  20 years ago today, was the beginning of the end of my life as a jehovah's witness.

  when i think back to 10 years (1993) after leaving the jehovah's witnesses, i can remember not quite being so well-adjusted.

  I hope Michel Jackson is not guilty....but....

  how foolish of him, to even allow himself to be alone with young boys after being accused of indiscretions before,,,he should have made it a rule to always have another adult with him and any children he befriended. Just the same as a doctor protects hisself by having a nurse in the examing room.
