For those 'in the know' .....

.... has anyone heard of a recent upgrade of 'the blood' card/document thing?
Reason I'm asking is apparently my parents had a visit from one of the local twats ... who came armed with a new 'blue' booklet that allegedly had all the 'new changes' to 'the blood issue'. They're apparently going to get my older jdub bro to sign the new form ... and my mum told the visiting twat in a very soft voice as my sister was in the room ... "it's because we trust him". Which of course means they don't trust the rest of their heathen children.
Anybody any insight on yet another change in 'the blood issue'?
Another circuit arsembly
06-Feb-12
Well, another 2 day assembly has been and gone, another 2 days of boredom that I missed out on. Mother dropped lots of hints about it but I didn't take her bait. Mr bright knew it was on and didn't seem to give attending it a single thought... Win! I guess my only hurdle now is the memorial. Shudder. If anyone asks, I'm thinking of saying that this year, I'm going to show Jesus my thanks and respect in my own way. Speaking of Jesus, it's funny but I still believe he existed and was a great example for us to follow HOWEVER I no longer seem to be able to believe in a loving god. Strange isn't it? Anyway, back on topic, what excuses have you Other 'faders' used to get out of memorial night?
Keep smiling guys 
Anyone teased or bullied about service?
06-Feb-12
My teenage daughter came home crying one day from service because she didnt like phone witnessing and when she didnt want too do it so one Ministerial servant drew a picture of a chicken and colored the belly yellow and said this is you! Then the Elder in the group said in front of everyone else I should have know you wouldnt cooperate! She was a pioneer just didnt want too do it on the phone! Then they were bewildered when she left the religon and is now df and Happy!
Home but Hiding (HBH)
06-Feb-12
Okay, I gotta ask. Did anyone else use HBH (Home But Hiding) on those little slips we used to write on during field service? I know we used NH (Not Home), RV (return visit), CA ( call again), etc.. But the first time I saw HBH and a pioneer explained it to me, I cracked up from laughter because I thought it was a joke. However, at my hold Hall, it was used on a regular basis if someone could be clearly seen to be at home but didn't bother to come to the door, was peeking through blinds, etc. Was that something unique to the area I lived in or was it used by others? I'm just curious.
My Seasons
06-Feb-12
Today was my visit with my Uncle Andy, the one who kust turned 98 a week ago.
To help occupy our time I bought a bunch of art supplies, paintable coffee cups, canvasses, acrylics, brushes and palette etc... I figured we would do art, as I have no idea what to do with a 98 year old man who can only chit chat on LOUD and only so long. I also snuck in a hearthy serving of Chinese food, he had mentionned to me how he had so liked the chinese food he had at my house about 10 years ago (so much for memory and old age lol)
We spend 3 hours together in his room at the old age residence that he has renamed "Old Geezer Home" funny old guy !
While there we spoke about a whole lot of things, his wife and son's passing, the horrid food at the cafeteria, the neighbor who is mentally deranged, his wedding and married life and much more. He had lots of...
I need understanding...
06-Feb-12
I am new here. I am looking for understanding. I was not a Jehovah's Witness but was involved in another cult for over 12 years. One that was of Toltec origins. I have been out for three years and one month now. I am still feeling lonley and lost and I keep on wanting to have friends that I can share this with and have them understand. When I left I stood up to our group leader and he became dangerous towards me. I lived with them and was part of their inner circle. My now ex-boyfriend is still with them. I still feel guilty that I introduced him to their cult and I also wish I could save him but know that it is not possible. Anyhow, I have been working towards healing this place in me that is afraid of them. Well there is still so much fear of mine in me and I had a really horrible nightmare the other night ago where I was being attacked by the leader and I kept on attacking him with a hatchet to protect myself and he kept coming forward and wouldn't go away. And then...
"The friends miss you at the KH!".....give me a break!
06-Feb-12
So a certain someone went to my old cong. and I get a letter in the mail sometime afterward and it says "The friends miss you at the KH!".........sigh........Well I haven't gone in 5yrs for Pete's sake! I don't even know these people anymore, I don't remember most of their names, they don't know anything about me, about my life, about my family, they don't have my phone number, they don't call, they don't stop by my house, they don't do ANYTHING and yet they have the balls to say "We miss you at the Kingdom Hall!". Oh how many of us have heard those horrid words before? What do those words even mean? I mean seriously! We're not friends, we have nothing in common, we've had no contact with each other in 5yrs, so why in the world is this the default response every freaking JW always has to say "We miss you at the KH!"???
Do they have nothing else to offer? (Answer: no they don't) Can their minds not come up with anything else to ever say? (Answer:...

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES ARE SPYING AND STALKING US! What Can We Do?
“I dated a Jehovah’s Witness for a while and got her
pregnant. I have broken off the relationship, but she continues to
manipulate me by threatening that she won’t let me see the child if I
seek custody. Now that I am living back home with my parents, I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses are spying, not only on me, but on them too. For example, we have seen them parked across the street watching us, following us into stores, shopping malls, and restaurants.
It seems to be a different person each time and that makes it difficult
to document for the police. Yet, the frequency of their presence with
us in public and the fact that they always seem to know where we are is a
bit disturbing.

Over population of the earth...
05-Feb-12
For some reason this has been really worrying me! Don't know why... I know nothing major will happen in my lifetime but I worry for Isla's generation and her kids etc, when the earth is over-full and everything runs out.
I was watching a program about doing surgery on twin unborn babies and saving their lives. It's brilliant, its wonderful that they can do this, but a few years ago these twins would not have survived.... there would not be two more people in the world to have more kids. Multiply this by all the other babies who have been saved by surgery in the womb... yet more babies who wouldn't have been here if they were conceived a few years ago before this life saving treatment.
THEN think about all the breech births, the 'failure to progress' labours that end in c sec, the transverse babies, babies with disabilities, pre-eclampsia etc etc. Even my own experience, babies going into distress and needing a c sec. All this would have...

"Won without a word."
05-Feb-12
Has anyone else noticed that the more you try to reason with a JW, the closer to their cult they become? I regularly talk to JWs on another site and despite my subtle warnings and outright horror stories about abuse and scams in HQ, it seems like when I am not speaking against the organization, they have healthy doubts and when I speak against the org, they automatically go on the defensive. Could we, without even knowing it, be driving the JWs we have in our lives closer to their cult by trying to reason with them? Just my meandering thought for the day. Maybe it is more effective to not say much but leave apostate literature around and if they read it, that is on them and not us. That way, the decision to read it is theirs and they can't blame anyone but themselves if they pick it up and read it. Also, I just love taking their phrases and turning them on the JWs. In that way, they would be "won without a word". Here's another one: "Let us not cast our pearls before...

I have just come across this discussion on a JW-Group on facebook.. I'll let the words speak for themselves. This 'brother' Matt rocks  WHo knows? Maybe he's one of us here?  Matt: I

gravestone is in the shape of a pyramid...I also didn't know he was a
free mason...The logo is right there on the gravestone...wow. I was there...I saw it and
touched it...Its in Pennsylvania... Unless there is a different Charles
Taze Russell that started the Watchtower...
Killing people with drones
05-Feb-12
I do believe we have solved half the problem of human conflict in the ME...Predator drones! Now we just need to let the Afghans and Pakistanis obtain their own. Then everyone would come together in a big outdoor bazaar with dancing girls and colorful banners and shoot down each other's drones instead of each other. 
I'm staying off the internet for the rest of the month

or until I finish writing my novel. I've realized that all my time online is sucking up time I could spend writing. So if you see me on here, tell me to GTFO!
