Thanks, Grandma. Your opinion is duly noted. Actually, grandma, I didn't express a viewpoint so much as ask a question. BTW, how are your efforts to peruse my previous posts and find evidence, in your word, of my jackasshood? lol

63How much positive reinforcement do you need to function on JWD?
by TMS insuffice to say most of us appreciate favorable comments when we initiate a thread.
even in our jw days, after an assembly part, student talk, public talk etc.
the kind words of our brothers and sisters contributed to our self-esteem.

Suffice to say most of us appreciate favorable comments when we initiate a thread. Even in our JW days, after an assembly part, student talk, public talk etc. the kind words of our brothers and sisters contributed to our self-esteem.
But we've grown up somewhat since those days. Do we still rely on the support of others? Would you try to gauge the general interest or lack of it from forum members before starting a thread? If you received some criticism concerning the content or tone of your thread, would you abort it?
Perhaps, what I'm intimating is: "Are you ready for the real world or still in the JW mindset?"

"TMS, I intend to go through your posts and find out if you have always been such a jack*ss!
And I must add, that to make me swear, even with ***** is really doing something"
Jones. . .I'm not intimidated by threats or curse words. If you could explain your concerns more articulately, I will be happy to respond.

true, BoreanBill. . . . .a couple of years ago Farkle said "goodbye". His threads weren't getting enough respect. Anonymous blogging though just doesn't create the same adrenalin rush as the perceived adulation of supportive comments on a message board. It's sort of refreshing that you've identified in your short tenure here a couple of the egomaniacs. Hope you have a bulletproof vest. . . . lol1

Minimus. . . . . .you're not following the model our one of our forum icons has clearly established.
1. Ask for a show of JWD hands of support before you even go through the initial agony of baring your pubescent soul in part 1.
2. Take note of riffraff who do not fawn over your wisdom in a side thread
3. Threaten to abort the gospel of your life if the rumblings do not subide and a significant ourpouring, groundswell of undieing devotion is
not immediately forthcoming.
4. Back by popular demand for Part 2

Let those who have ears listen. Threatening to not post any more brilliance if not ego-stroked is the Farkel story. lol!

My Story Part I - My Parents

it's a funny thing, time.
notwithstanding einstein's relativity, time means vastly different things throughout life.

I won't use the word "entertaining" to describe your words, Farkel. I salute your father and all those fathers and mothers who encouraged, promoted and relished the successes of their children. As most of us on this forum know, the JW religion stifles creativity, undermines individual success, accomplishment, intellectual and social development. Your mother's dysfunction seem to go beyond that. Keep writing. Happy New Year.

Reply From Co-worker - Feel Excellent Moment!
by Doubtfully Yours inso, there we all are in the break room in my place of work, and the topic turns to the holiday shopping madness.
this co-worker starts to say how expensive this holiday season has been for him and that he's still not done, and too bad when the day comes the family members will find fault or something else wrong with his gifts, and to make things worst, that the wife also was purchasing gifts with his credit card so he feared the january statement.. so, i jokingly told him that one way he can remedy that is by telling his family that he's been studying the bible and that he won't be celebrating christmas this year as he's studying to become a jw.
they all laughed loudly and the guy, second by others in the room, told me that i just didn't know how good i had it being a jw this time of the year.

Doubtfully,
Your co-worker is religiously tolerant and provided you a "feel good" moment, reinforcing your righteous stand against "pagan" holidays. Hopefully, you will be consistant in your moral high road and refuse any Christmas bonuses, holiday pay, holiday turkeys, hams, etc.
