My husband was yelling so loud I think the neighbors heard him. Then he comes upstairs to tell me NE won. As if I couldn't tell.
Glad your team won eyebrow. Steve said it was the most exciting Super Bowl he's seen in years.

i have never missed a memorial in 20 years of being a jw, but this year will be the first one i miss because i refuse to set foot in any kingdom hall.
i was wondering how many that post here will attend the memorial and if so why?.
do you feel pressured into going by family or friends?.
I made my last kingdom hall appearance in September for my grandfather's memorial. Now that he is gone I see no reason why I should ever have to set foot in a kh again.
The dubs have turned the memorial into a superstitious ritual. I'll never attend.

my daughter was born at 9:05am tuesday morning.
she's a skinny little thing, 7 pounds 5 ounces, with a shock of black hair, her father's chin, her mother's eyes, and a fetish for sucking on fingertips that neither of us recognize in ourselves.
i'll post pictures when i have them up somewhere ... meanwhile, foxy and i are trying to catch as much sleep as possible, which is precious little sleep at all.
Congrats dedalus! She shares a birthday with Venice!

its absolutely true.
my father did indeed marry me..., to my now ex-wife.
dear old dad conducted the wedding ceremony in waterlooville kh way back in 68. it was so crazy.
I was married at 18 to a 28 year old. My dad performed the marriage. We are in our 14th year.

jw kids have a lot to live up to.
we, like any other kids try to please our parents.
we follow their rules and expectations and do everthing we can to make them proud.
Welcome Tigger. Yes, for me it does feel normal. I have been out for five years and no longer differentiate between myself and other normal non-jw people. The ex-jw will always be a part of me, but for the most part I am only reminded when I run into a jw.
It takes time and you have to get out there and socialize with normal people. The world is a great place to be. Enjoy your freedom.

it is 3:30 pm in the northwest u.s., and it is snowing big time!!
it is positively horizontal.
you can almost not see across the street.
Well, I was sick all day yesterday so mostly missed out on the snowfall. However, my daughter woke me up and drug me downstairs this morning to look at it. It's snowing again and just a beautiful white blanket! Funny, the only Sunday they haven't fought over who gets to bring in the Sunday paper. My son just said, "It's Zoe's turn". She raced upstairs to get dressed and came back down in a dress and tights[8>](she won't wear pants) and we put on her mittens coat and snow boots and off she went. She was so cute and so proud of herself when she brought me the paper. Then she stomped back out and ran around the yard for awhile and threw snow at me in the window. It was so funny, most of the snowballs landed on her head since she can't throw them very well (she's 3)and she was making them too big.
I just bought a new bottle of scotch the other day and Ozzie, I wouldn't ruin my scotch with ice or snow! Neat!
I bet you have more than a few flakes in Carnation now, huh Jeff?

well, i just got home and im piping madd.. im laughing about it as well though because i outsmarted them at their own game and got a rant off my chest.. heres what happened.
an acquaintance i used to go to the hall with.. who is also 3 years younger than me asked me for money about 6 months ago.. at the time, i loaned him $50 to get the tires on his car fixed.
in that time period, not only did he move out of his parents house to an undisclosed location because he decided to stop going to the kh.. but i also da myself in that time frame.. due to the fact he moved out, i havent been able to reach him.. i tried calling his parents home to discover his current location or at least to tell them if he contacts them, to be sure to have him reach me because he owes me money.. no response.
Every letter you write to the son and/or his parents carbon copy to the elders. Be sure to put in a little something about the false alarm call to the police, the elders probably won't do anything but they might just file that away for future reference.

for me, the word was "loving".. great "loving" kindness.. great undeserved "loving" kindness!.
disfellowshipping is a "loving" provision.. when the wtbts want their accolytes to swallow another bitter pill, another restriction, another rebuke, another demand on time, the buzz word is "loving".. the "loving" word, is, to the average jw, the same as the mccabe nod is to the salesman.
the mccabe nod is used by salesman all the time to get the prospective customer to agree to something that he doesn't care for too much.
similarly
I haven't heard anyone use it in a sentence since I left. Used to love it when it was in the "study article" (another one) and the reader would stumble over it.
There was a young brother in our hall who got his hair cut really short like one of his buddies so my husband coined the phrase "Bad associations spoil useful haircuts". Always cracked me up.
"brother and sister" yuck...call me by my first name please.
"new light" 'nuf said on that one.

had to edit this.
sorry.. gossip gossip gossip.. i'm not saying we aren't their definition of apostate, but they have no evidence against us, so they make it up.. "no one can take advantage of you, without your permission.

Gutless bunch of bastards and their petty sniveling wives. If they had just been men at the beginning and df'd the lot of us they wouldn't have to do all this with your friend and her husband. Now they are stuck with us roaming around the city making them look bad whenever any witness runs into us.
