gwen (somebody) on her post entitled "enemies of jehovah" made one of the most beautiful errors i have seen in a long time.. everybody spent all the years of their lives going doo-to-door for the wbts instead.
this is a classic.
from now on, i'm calling it doo-to-door too.. lisa
Lol@Lisa,
Yes, this can become one of the new buzz words we use on this board...Doo to door.
Knock, Knock, hello witless householder, I have some amazing Doo in this bookbag of mine that I am going to all this trouble to bring to your door. What do you mean you don't want any of my amazing Doo? Are you crazy? You must be one of those "goat like" ones. Well, I will just shake the dust of your doorstep from my feet and take my Doo to the next house.
Thanks for that slip Somebody

i'm getting ready to catch my flight to the usa in four days, so i won't be around much, needless to say.
i've spent the past week packing and setting up my laptop so i'll be able to hook back up when i get across the water.
how do you pack three years of life into four suitcases?
Hey Rcat,
Have a safe trip!!
What part of the US are you coming to? Hopefully near Florida?
See you soon.

i'm looking for some thoughts/advice regarding this conversation my sister and i had via instant messenger.
(see below- names have been removed) i have been out of things for a while but i still don't feel very comfortable giving advice as everyone is different.
i have tried to avoid being df'd because of my family.
Hey Roro,
Looks like you gave her some excellent advice! I don't know that I could add anything to it.
Your suggesting that she stop letting your mom have so much control over her life is the best all around. Your sister is just now starting to feel what it's like to want to make her own decisions, and that is a scary place when you're not used to it.
You are a kind and supportive brother. Keep being there for her, and it will all work out. She may choose to work it out differently than you...many people choose to get df'd because they need the finality of it to get on with their lives. I understand your reasoning on not letting the borg control your life too. That is a wise course. Tell your sis she is welcome to visit the board for moral support anytime. Also, when we meet up, she is welcome to come too!

dave,.
just checking to see if today is going better for you than yesterday.
i know your dealing with some tough issues right now.
Hey Seven
I am sorry you are having a tough time right now. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have teased you so mercilessly in chat the other night.
My apologies....may I still tease you next time?

i have been lurking for a few months now.
the only reason that i have not posted until now is because of the paranoia that comes with being raised a jw.
my current status in the congregation is irregular, reaching out for the office of inactive.
Ain't this place fun!!!!!

"When agnostics die, do they go to the great perhaps"?
i was raised a poor white child in the deep south...ok, florida, where i still am.
i was the typical slightly self righteous witness, miss goody goody, left school at 16 to pioneer, which i did for 4 years, met a guy and married him.
he had 2 kids from a previous marriage and we had 2 kids of our own.
((((Roro))))
Thank you sweetie
That means a lot to me, that by sharing our experiences we share our strength. Staying true to yourself is the most important thing. After all, you don't HAVE to live with anyone else but yourself.
And we DEFINITELY need to have a Florida bash...you should email me and we will try to set something up SOON!

Sounds like you've watched the Princess Bride as many times as I have.
Isis,
Anne of Green Gables is my fav "feel good" movie of all time. Gotta love that girl's indomitable spirit.

Expat...let me get this straight.
Are you volunteering to be our "slave boy" if we need one?
I will consult with the other ladies, but I for one think the idea has GREAT "ape peel".
hehehe

Hi new guys and gals
cool names you guys have picked for yourselves.
One of my favs is of course Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood:
"Go ahead, make my day".
Another fav from Anne of Green Gables, regarding the ups and downs of life. "Remember, tomorrow is a fresh day with no mistakes in it".
