  Idiotic Comment

  i was just enjoying a you tube video clip of george carlin explaining euphemisms.

  one of the ones he commented about is how people try to soften the fact someone is dead by saying, "they passed away.

  " noo...they died!.

  One of the terms I was raised up with was when an animal's life ended (usually by my dad's 22) he would use the term "put down" meaning for their death. There for a while, I also used that term, but not anymore, and for this reason.

  I have two sons, and when they were younger this was a term they also associated with the death of an animal. Then one day one of the cats jumped up on the table, and I told my youngest to put the cat down. He looked at me with the most horrified expression. No mom, I don't want the cat killed. It took me a moment to get what he was thinking, and I had to clarify, "Not put the cat down but put the cat down on the floor." lol

  on saturday my son finally got around to getting his driver's license, and then on monday, he bought his first car.

  you might be thinking he is 16 or 17, but you'd be wrong.

  he is almost 22 and in his third year of college.

  after seeing the atrocity in new zealand, do you think white nationalism is a major issue affecting you or where you live?.

  somebody already called out chelseaclinton, blaming her for the attack!

  I never understood what they mean when they tell people to go back where they came from, and most of the time those people they are telling it to are born US citizens, and even their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were born in the country as well, and might have also defended the country as well. If someone ever told me that (and they have when I was an active JW), I ask them where I should go, because I was born in Texas, and my bloodline has been in this country since before the 1700s, and further. My dad's family had Cherokee, Choctaw, Scottish, British, English, and my mom's side Irish, German, and Chinese. So I asked them where should I go? Plus I also told them that my grandfather (mother's side) fought against the Germans and Japnese in WW2, my dad served as well in a later time.

  He did, but he saved his money and paid cash for it, so no car payments. He's very wise when it comes to money, even more so than his parents.

He is almost 22 and in his third year of college. I guess he finally got tired of having to walk everywhere or relying on others for helping him to get where he needed to go. Now maybe he'll come home a little more often for visits, his school is only an hour and a half away.

  I will find one in my door every other year, and this is the year I won't be getting one. None of the JWs in my area know who I am or who I was, and I prefer to keep it that way.

  It's been 18 years for me. I even refused to go to two different funerals because that was where they were held. The last time my husband tried to push it, and I went into full panic mode, which is something I never ever do. When I made the decision to leave, that was it for me. I'm one of those individuals who won't stick around if they don't believe in something or is lied to, no matter the cost.

  Do You Think The Obama Administration Should Be Investigated For How They Treated The Trump Accusations?

  @stillin I'm not saying one way or the other, but if Russia wanted Trump in, it would because they didn't want Hillary in. Hillary is nothing but BAD NEWS, there are quite a few folks in Arkansas (where she originally came from) that absolutely detest that witch, myself included.

  WillYouDFme - I'm not talking about those who got married at a young age, or just because they wanted to have sex and not get in trouble with the Watchtower, I'm talking about those who really love each other when they got married. When I was still in the organization, I knew plenty of active JWs who were unhappy in their marriages, but if you didn't know them personally you would have never guessed it while at the meetings. Many of those unhappy marriages did end in divorce, while they were still a JW. It didn't even matter what their position was in the organization; circuit overseer, elder, ministerial servant, regular pioneer, or just a publisher, I knew different witnesses in all those positions who all divorced for various reasons, and I know the reasons for those divorces, and it all narrowed down to unhappiness.

  How about this lie. If you leave Jehovah's Organization, your marriage will fall apart. Had several tell me that whopper. I got news for them, after hubby and I left, our marriage actually got better. This coming September will be our 26th.
