  Ladies, How Big Is Your Diamond Engagement Ring?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i notice a trend that suggests that many ladies either have a one carat or bigger diamond ring or much smaller if any.. do you have a diamond ring and if you do, what size carat is it?

  ?.

  No one wants to buy a drill or a power saw, they "want" a hole or a cut board.

  No one wants to buy a diamond, they want the receiving mate to think positively about them when they look at the diamond. And they want their friends to think positive thoughts about them when they see the diamond. "Oh,.. her husband must really love her and they must have a great marriage since he spent so much money on her for something that really does not actually benefit the family other than perceived thoughts of love"

  Usually it's the rings with owners that are comfortable with just having a diamond, not of any particular size, that is able to endure the storms of marriage.

  On the other hand, it's the ones that expect or demand a large rock that have issues before the ink dries on the pre nup.

  has anyone here left jehovah's witnesses to join the churuch of jesus christ of latter-day saints?

  what was your motivation for doing so and how has it worked out?.

  if you haven't joined the lds or considered it, as an ex-jw, what is your general view of the lds faith?.

  Have you ever scared the crap out of someone?

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the recent thread about "supernatural" experiences helped me to remember the times i enjoyed playing frightening pranks on people.. example #1: years ago the employees at a place i worked for had a 40th birthday party for one of the women we worked with.

  it was a typical "somber and dark" humorous party with black balloons, black candles on the birthday cake... all meant to suggest that at 40 ife as you know it is just about over.

  it's funny, but 25 years after my 40th birthday i'm yearning for those days when things were better.. ...but i digress.

  Had an old wooden cabinet of sorts that was large enough for a 16 yr old kid to fit into. We had several of our local Jw friends staying over and we started talking about stories we had heard from the others in the past about spirit creatures, demons etc and when he left the room for a bit, my brother and I hatched a plan.

  My brother hid inside the cabinet and waited a bit for us to get back into the story telling. After a bit he started scratching lightly inside the cabinet and would pause A Bit then come back a with some more each time getting slightly louder and louder each time. After he started really making some noise and rocking the cabinet a bit.

  A young brother started saying rather loudly " In the name of Jesus, I command you to get out!!"

  My brother hears this and stops all actions. Then the brother starts telling us that this is what you have to do,.. Blah blah, and then at the perfect time my brother really turns it up, rocking the cabinet and slamming his fist on the inner walls to give that brother something to think about.

  He pretty much freaked out and we, to his relief, told hi what was going on and the he was embarrassed a bit

  Is there anything the WTS could say that would NOT be accepted as fact?

  by Faithful Witness in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is a follow-up from the recent thread from adjustments, addressing the mind control and manipulation the wts uses to threaten the jw's into unquestioning submission.. is there any statemtent they could make, that people would not question?

  honestly, if you read their study articles, it is unbelievable what the people will listen to, swallow as "truth," and then regurgitate to others, as if it has always been their belief.

  we visited a local kh for the september 8 & 15 lessons on new light.

  Only one thing that I could thInk of that the Jws would have a hard time accepting as fact.

  Please check out the YV show " breaking the faith". Just started 2 weeks ago here in the USA on TLC channel.

  About the FLDS group,... lotsa parrellels to the jws that will surely get the info into their heads without them knowing it. In my opinion, it will wake some up.

  if there are other jamaicans here, feel free to let me know.. with that said, it was announced at our last meeting (a letter was read) that the branch office (bethel) in kingston would be closing, and affairs would soon be directed from us hq.

  Knew of a brother in Montego Bay that was a Taxi driver and also I think that there was an older sister that lived at the top of a hill that owned property that was originally DeWars, I believe.

  I would bring out the sales of all the properties around the world focuing on Brooklyn and the amounts that have been taken in for those buildings. Also mentioning that all the work on those buildings were donated by brothers like the ones being laid off.

  ALso mention that you had read about the Candice Conti case and the money involved etc,..how they offered up the Patterson property as collateral in lieu of the bond payment. Also Hedge funds,..

  Sounds like one of his trigger issues is money.

  I would work on that as his cult personality allowed it.

  “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan
