I have only had the flu once, and it was after I had a flu shot. I was so sick, that I could not get out of bed for two weeks, and I lost over 40 pounds. By the time I got over that flu, I looked like a walking skeleton. I vowed to myself after that, Never Again. I refuse to allow my children to have them as well. Guess what, they never had the flu either.

I am in a very rotten mood and I am very pissed off today. I just want to smack a certain someone right now.
Now let me back up and explain why. My husband was laid off from his job, but that is not why I’m angry. They told us that there is a waiting week before his unemployment will start, but again that is not why I’m angry.
When my husband was laid off, he was given a letter, and I took it to the company I make my house payments to. I explained to them that my husband will be getting unemployment pay, and I would start making payments as soon as it started. They made a copy of the letter, and said ok. I have been making my house payment on time for the past four years, and never missed a payment. Now in today’s mail I received a letter from my mortgage company who sent me a letter which ended with this, “As you are aware, we take delinquencies very seriously.” Now you might be asking me how late or how far behind on your house payments are you? The answer to that question is, I am at the moment 6 days late.
Yes that letter bugged me, but again that is not why I am so pissed off. I went in and gave the mortgage company a partial payment, they are ok with this part, and it was something I had already explained to them.
Now this is why I am pissed off.
While I was writing the check, the woman who I made the payment to had the nerve to say this to me.
“I know why you did not come in until now to make your payment. You were thinking today is 12-21-12, and it is the end of the world.”
I very quickly corrected her, and told her that I NEVER believed that the world was going to end today. I went on to tell her, yes the Mayan calendar cycle ended, but what happens when January 1 rolls around? You just start a new calendar; it does not mean the end of the world. Besides that, today was the first day my husband got his unemployment check.
Growing up in the JW cult, all I ever heard was the end of the world and the destruction of mankind. I am so SICK OF HEARING OF THIS STUPID BULLCRAP; I just want to wring that woman’s neck. But I just did the polite thing, and made my payment, told her when I will be in to make my next payment and left.

Time only goes in one direction, and time has run out for the Mayans
The Mayans are still around; my next door neighbor is a descendant.

It's not the 21th where the location the Mayans lived at. Besides that, I don't think it's the end. What happens when your calendar end, you just start a new one.

"yes, but my husband is about to retire so i'm going to have to start telling him the truth!".
"ohhh, yes - if my husband knew the truth he'd need medication!".

I never hide from my husband what is spent, but I do hide what we save. That man does not believe in saving for a rainy day.

Is the Jehovah's Witness religion Christian?
by Zagor Almanah inis the jehovah's witness religion christian?the answer to the question is, "no.
it is not christian.
" like all non-christian cults, the jehovah's witness organization distorts the essential doctrines of christianity.

To wrap it up in a nutshell, the Watchtower is not Christian, but I feel that there are Christians who are in it. I also feel that God will call his children out from that place.
Every Memorial they deny Christ when they don’t partake of the bread (Christ’s flesh) and the wine (Christ’s blood), when one denies Christ, that is a very satanic ritual.

Looking Back, Did You Notice Many JWs Had Drinking, Drug or Mental Issues?
by minimus inas an elder, i saw many people that were affected by booze, drugs and mental health issues.
a lot of witnesses fought depression and turned to other things when they realized they couldn't keep up the pace and find inner happiness with what they did do..

While I was in the JW cult, I battled depression, and nearly committed suicide. My whole time in the cult was hell. I dealt with every form of abuse from my parents. The only thing that kept me from losing my mind was that I learned how to meditate at a very young age. I’m not talking about the type of meditating the watchtower wants their people to do, but the type that actually cleared my mind of everything. One time I got caught by the witch who gave birth to me, and she ranted and raved on how I was doing something dangerous.
The amount of prescription drugs that woman took was a lot, she even told me that when I am her age, I too would be taking medication like her. It was at that point I told her no way, I would never ever put that poison in my body. I will be turning 44 in January, and the only medication I take is for the occasional headache, and even then it is not very often. I refuse to ever be like that witch….I would rather use the B word, but I don’t know if it would get censored or not. I really can’t stand her at all.
I once knew a woman after she became a JW; she ended up taking medication for depression. She was a JW for several years, and eventually left it. About a year after she left, she stopped taking those medications, and she learned that the cult was the reason for her depression.
As a JW, I remember that most of everyone I knew was on some form of medication, for one reason or another, mostly for mental health reasons.

she had drugs and birth control.

Actually I hate to tell you this, but when it comes to teens and cutting it is not abnormal behavior. I had to deal with this in my eldest son last school year. Once I was finally able to get him to talk about it, I had learned that there are a lot of teens who do this every year. His reason for doing this was, and this is his word, “To see how far I (his mother) would go with this.” When I had noticed the slashes on his arms, and there were quite a few, I had taken him to the emergency room. He ended up spending the night, because he refused to speak with anyone about what was going on. Finally the next morning after I showed back up, he still had not spoken to anyone. I asked the doctor if I could speak to him alone, and they granted my request. I asked him why he is not talking, and he told me that he does not like discussing his problems with people. I then told him that he does not answer a few basic questions that they are planning on putting him in a mental institution. I went on to tell him; there he will be forced to talk about this. He did not like hearing that, and knows that what I tell him is the truth. I have always been honest with my children in everything. Once the doctor came back into the room, he finally opened up and told them why. In his case, he just wanted to see how far the adults would take this problem, and he never expected it to go this far.
After that night I learned a few things. There are a lot of teens who do cutting, anyone who is reading this, please check your teen’s arms, legs, and other places that they can hide. Both of my sons wear long sleeve shirts, and jeans even in the summer, and that was how he was able to hide what he was doing to his body. After that for quite a while I locked up all my husband’s knives in a safe, and only just recently brought them back out.
You did well in telling your son to report it to the counselor; because that was the only way it was brought to my attention. If my son’s school did not call me, I don’t know how long my child would have kept doing this to himself.
I have noticed that after this, my son has finally balanced out in his emotions, before they were….well let’s just say very moody and cranky, but with him, he was even like that as a baby.

Sparlock Child's Toy Makes Jehovah Sad!
by frankiespeakin inwell according to the governing body aka> jehovah's spokesman for the entire earthly population, a toy such as sparlock that is in the posession of small children who's parents are jws makes jehovah "sad".. well if that is true then jehovah needs to see a psychiatist for depression caused by unreasonableness and phobias.
if this little child toy makes him sad, and prone to wrath and murder, as biblical accounts show him wipeing out vast portions of the human and animal populations when his sadness hits major proportions, he also needs to take some anger management courses to get a handle on his sanity and riegn in his jealousy which seems destructive and out of control at times.. it is no idle speculation that if jehovah finds sparlock offensive and makes him depressed, he's got some serious mental issues, but realistically this sadness is all a projection of the governing body and shows them to have the issues that they are projecting on a imaginary figure whom they call jehovah.
in other words the currant governing body are a bunch of mentally sick bastards in a delusional state of mind..
