I was going through my things the other day and I came across a journal I used to keep at quite a young age. The mentality there is just scary. I was quite the budding writer with my big words but can you see all the canned thoughts and phrases lifted from the dubs and dropped into my grammar and writing style. I dont know if anyone else has anything like this from their past but I could hardly believe what I found when I started reading all this. Hopefully it wont bore you all to death or scare you off from me forever. I'm putting the journal quotes in quotation blocks so they are easier to pick out.
If you could spend an afternoon with someone you look up to. Who would it be? What would you do?
I would spend the afternoon with Sister xxxxx. I would pioneer with her in <city> and she would teach me some <popular language there. We would then go to Bethel and see the branch offices. We would go back out in service and on some return visits. We would encourage older ones and young kids and then go on some bible studies. We would telephone witness and then do some approach work and then informal witnessing. We would have cofee and get more magazines do some more calls then take a break to eat.
What is your favorite holiday and how do you celebrate it?
My favorite holiday is summer vacation because I get two months off of school. Tehre is nice warm weather. The garden and plants are growing. The waterslides and the beach are ready. There is no rushing. There is lots to do and friends to play with all summer long. We go on vacations and trips.
Sorry Poztate avert eyes and remember I dont believe this now.

I wish that dad would start coming to the meetings again. The fact that he might not be in paradse scares me. I would pay every cent I have if he would only come to one meeting. It would be the best present I had ever received. Why can't he see that it is the truth? It is so clear to me. Why won't he come? What can I do to help him? When I aksed him he said I was an old worrywart. I only want what is best for him. What would be a turning point in his life? At least he still comes to memorial and obeys basic bible truths and principles. I can only hope that one day he will see the truth and light and the salvation in Jehovah.
What would solve the problems in the world?
Repentance. Acceptance of Jesus ransom. Obeying god's laws, guides and morals. Looking to the bible for answers. Baptism and dedication. Prayer to god. Neutrality. Contentment. Antijealousy. Become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Accept the kingdom arragement. Do away with greed.
Omg sorry to Poztate again I remember this.

Today I wrote Daddy a letter to try and to get him to come to a meeting but he said he couldnt "see" himself coming tonight. I'll try again on Sunday. He kept the letter and I hope he'll change his mind. One part of me hopes and expects him to show up and walk down the aisle to sit with us. All I ask is why me and not some other kid why does it have to be my father!! :((
