i was reading a post on here and the poster said she went to the door twice because her mother made her go again when she didn't see her children talk to the man.
the poster said, "at least i got an rv out of it.".
ok, its been a few years, but for the first time i thought of "recreational vehicle" and not "return visit" when i read this.
JW speak changes over time. Remember that an RV used to be a back call (BC). And don't walk into a KH and ask to speak to the PO.
The changing language helps define who is up to date with current truths. Language filters out the renegades. For example, if you tell an elder you would like to vacation pioneer - the elder will drag your ass to the back room and disfellowship you on the spot.
alright, we're now itunes official, and the new podcast has been approved.
the first episode is my wife's story, and after that i'll be helping others to tell their stories as well.
my goal is to shed light on the real lives of the shunned, to tell the stories that these religions don't want you to hear.
You tell a great story. I hope you continue your podcast. I want to hear your wife's story.

I am listening to episode 10. Best wishes to your success. Remember that the best revenge is living a successful life. Let me know when you are back in Manhattan. I would love to buy you a beer.
just finished a 7-day cruise from nyc on norwegian cruise line (ncl- gem).
this is my first cruise in 30 years, so my past experience does not count.. overall, a great experience.
ncl does a great job.
Where is the best site to get a good deal on a cruise? We went through a travel agent. In retrospect, I did not think the travel agent created any value. Are there good web sites where you can find cruise deals?

I am not sure we will do another cruise anytime soon but, under the right circumstances, I could easily be talked into getting on a boat again.
Has anyone cruised to Bermuda? That seems like an interesting destination, especially from NYC.
shame to see our multi bilion property and media corporation asks for the last coins of an indian child, the coconuts from a sri lanka man and the last olive oil of a greek poor.. message to the poor is: no money, then your other belongings are belonging to jehova (read:jw.org).. at the end of the article i can click on a donate button and get a visa / mastercard sign om my screen.. follow the money: were are the property bilions?.
g..
They are getting no money from me anymore. The extent of my lifetime cash donations was well less than $100.

Overall, a great experience. NCL does a great job. We were with a group of 12 people and all got along.
Stops included Florida Cape Canaveral (I did not get off the boat), Sturrip Bay (an NCL owned island), and Nassau. We had plenty of time floating on the sea eating like pigs.
I would do it again, but probably not for a few years. Does anyone have hints or suggestions? I have a few, but would like to see other insights.
isn't it unbelievable that a jehovah's witness must accept whatever the organization says or they can be disfellowshipped??
unless they tell you that their understanding has changed, you cannot believe anything unless they say it's ok. .
many years ago i questioned them about their ridiculous view that whenever the word "heart" was mentioned, it was a literal blood filled organ.
Keep in mind that they believe in "present truths."
They disregard old light. Thus, they believe everything they believe...until they don't.
As goofy as this sounds, it represents the belief system of a cult.
and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.
but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .
how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?
Raising a glass to the man's memory.
Cheers, so sad.
i'm sure there's residents onboard here that aren't afraid of them (like i am!
) and the megadoses of antibiotics taken after the minor surgery.
seems the meds need to be taken since a foreign object has been inserted into the bone (titanium) which the body accepts (really?
I broke a tooth early this year and am in the middle of the process of installing an implant. This week I had a post drilled into my jaw. Surprisingly not painful at all. It has been 2 days and no pain.
The next step is to add the tooth. The complete process is at least 8 months, if not longer. It is best not to rush; you need time to allow your body to heal.
