  My brother

  by Chia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just recently talked to my brother.

  he got thrown out of my mom's house before i did, because he was constantly staying out late, going to clubs and coming home drunk, and my mom had enough of it.

  the difference between us is that he still feels the dubs have "the truth.

  Chia, hugs for you. I've been through a similar experience, but both of my younger brothers (who were never baptized & not Witnesses) sided with my Witness parents in shunning me because they didn't want to lose my parents. It's hard stuff. Just be the best & happiest example you can be!

  I might be wrong, but I think it is a 'Noah's Generation', ie 120 years (or something).

  Tijkmo, I love Counting Crows too! And Green Day. And Cat Empire. And Sinead O'Connor. Umm, anything else I'd have to listen to first! Oh, and Bjork. And the Herd. And Butterfinger. Oh, and John Butler Trio. Anything else, I'd have to listen to first!

  Sassy, StepMom is my worst crying movie too - I went to the movies to see it years ago & bawled so hard! When the lights went up I was still bawling! It was so embarrassing ... I do cry at pretty much anything, though!

  Jehovah's Witnesses code of dress.

  could anyone confirm or deny if the sisters code of dress still prohibits the wearing of trousers?.

  I bet it will change soon, though, because women in business/conservative environments, which the dubs model on, all wear pants now. Maybe soon wearing a skirt/dress will be seen as being slutty?!!

  JW Poetry

  hi, a link on another thread made me wonder if anyone here has written any poetry about dubdom.

  here is my contribution: a poem i wrote during a circuit assembly that i was absolutely hating.

  tell me what you think (don't be too honest!).

  Nice, Lawrence.

  Here is one I wrote when I was still a dub about a friend who left:

  The empty, burning feeling

  racking my eyes and

  the back of my throat -

  An ode

  To a friend who meant everything

  And still does.

  [Yeah, yeah, I know, I won't give up my day job ... It is fun to share though, yeah?!]

  Pyramid Schemes - Melaleuca - MLM

  by NOdenial in

  2. experiences

  ok... this topic will probably get some people quite upset - but i am going to say it anyways.

  the topic of 'con artist types' in the borg reminded me of this issue.. where i come from in western canada and usa, there is a huge issue of dubs getting involved in melaleuca.

  there is one brother in the interior of british columbia that is making much more money in a month than most people make in a year.
