    It's no wonder Jdubs are so wacked out. If you picked out just a few of those goals to meet you wouldn't have time for anything else.

    I am amused by the link to the Creation video. Because it was not made by JWs there is a warning NOT to click any of the links at the end of it. There is even a little warning window before you connect with the site. Wouldn't want anything to infiltrate their brain and possibly break the WTS spell.

    Actually my personal goal for this Monday was to start a diet, after reading on that site, I am nauseous. The new Read and Purge diet?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------A friend asks you to go flying with him. You have never been in a small plane, so you are a little concerned. However, he is experienced and has been doing this for a long time, and says it will be great, so you agree.

    You take off, and your stomach is in your throat. You get up and the view is magnificent. As you look around you are amazed at how beautiful it is, and you are so glad you have come. As you make a turn and head another direction, you see something white in front of the window. It goes by you, and it is a cloud. Then you notice there are more clouds coming.

    Again, you start to get a little concerned. Now it starts to get thick. You didn't bargain for this, or agree to it, and you don't want to be here now. It gets so thick, you can't see anything! You've had enough and you want OUT. Where is the door? Oh--you can't do that, that would be crazy!

    But, you didn't agree to this...

    The pilot tells you that there is nothing to worry about. He has instruments and he knows how to read them. If you just have faith he can get you out of this. You can try to tell him what he should do, but you don't have the knowledge of the instruments. So, you are better off just waiting and allowing the pilot to handle the situation.

    Don't panic...

    Don't get out...

    When we come into the truth, we have heard all of the wonderful promises of everlasting life--no pain, sorrow, sickness, or death. It is like that scenery we were looking at when we first got up in that plane. But when things get a little rough, do we use the instruments provided to direct us? That includes the meetings, prayer, publications, the organization and the brothers. When that fails, do we rely on the pilot, Jehovah, to know how to direct the situation? Or do we bail out?

    Be Thankful

    Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

    Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

    Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

    Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

    Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.

    Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

    Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

    It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

    A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

    Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

    Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

    Ok, I'm going to stop I promise.

    But this one is interesting. I guess being a widow is an imperfect condition?

    Does any one remember any of these bible characters being df'd or shunned?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Think that you're along way from perfection, well......

    Moses stuttered.
    David's armour didn't fit.
    John Mark was rejected by Paul.
    Hosea's wife was a prostitute.
    Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
    Jacob was a liar.
    David had an affair.
    Solomon was too rich.
    Abraham was too old.
    David was too young.
    Timothy had ulcers.
    Peter was afraid of death.
    Lazarus was dead.
    John was self-righteous.
    Naomi was a widow.
    Paul was a murderer. So was Moses.
    Jonah ran from God.
    Miriam was a gossip.
    Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
    Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
    Elijah was burned out.
    John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
    Samson had long hair.
    Noah got drunk.

    Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse? So did Peter, Paul - well, lots of folks did.

    We all make mistakes, When we make mistakes and ask for forgiveness.

    Its our heart condition that Jehovah looks for. Our service to him is the most important part of our lives

    That list of "personal goals" actually made me sick to the stomach.

    None of those goals have ANYTHING to do with personal growth; rather are all about CULT INDOCTRINATION.

    How sickening.

    40. Become a more submissive wife, showing more respect.

    that really pisses me off...

    I'd rather pick fleas off a monkey's ass than to ever be a submissive wife.......
