  i'm not looking fwd to going to the grocery store this evening.

  i imagine that by now, most of what we should have on hand will be empty shelves in the stores.

  we're gonna try and get some shtuff in here and begin cooking tomorrow.

  please, huge warning, if you're an angry ex-jw, save your bs advice, i dont' need to hear you put jw's down just to give advice.. i was raised a jw & am still bitter over injustice growing up at the hands of my elder father, and bitter over the abuse of my ex-husband.. i miss my fam, i miss peace, i miss a sense of belonging.

  any advice on how to gain inner peace w/o selling myself out?.

  The only thing I could tell you is that, due to missing my family so very much, I sold out.

  Now I'm forced to lead a double life, and it stinks to high heavens.

  what was on your mind during those halcion days of the 70's.

  when disco was king, and real men back then were required to dance.

  johnny terrio, saturday night fever, medallions and open shirts exposing much chest hair, if you had any.

  What are you talking about?! I loved the 70s and 80s!!!

  I could dance that disco music so well! Loved the beat! Didn't like the fashion, though.

  Even rap music had a nice beat back then, and wasn't as raunchy.

  KH meeting - boring!

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not a jw but a friend of mine who is a jw invited me to the memorial service at the kh this year.

  i was raised catholic but now i'm agnostic/atheist.

  one thing that struck me was how horribly sterile and boring the memorial service was.

  Wohooo ... last university assignment finished !

  by Simon in

  it feels soooo good having finished the last assignment for the open university courses i've been doing - the 18th one this year .

  now i just have to revise for the exams (3 of them over 2 days) ... and if i get at least 40% then i pass, get an extra qualification and we get extra immigration points to get us on our way to canada.

  anything extra is a bonus ... distinctions would be nice but i need to get 85% in the exams for that.. although i resent the impact of the wts on my life and not being able to go to university when i should, this actually isn't a bad way to do it - you don't run up massive debts like current students do and because you have more experience probably do better at a subject than if you are starting out.

  You're definitely being spiteful. Business is purely business. Unless she's being rude or unbusiness-like to you, let it go.

  Well said R6Laser!

  I only recent the people that sit on their butts and do nothing while other taxpayers pay for their mere existence (i.e, people collecting welfare while being able to work, career criminals).

  Here's one of my personal beliefs:

  There isn't just ONE creator, but rather a GROUP of creators. A supreme being couldn't have created everything! I think he must've delegated the creative task to many, thus many share in the credit for the whole creation of all that's in our planet Earth.

  I've attended weddings, funerals and other events at different churches, but I could never join any other religious organization.

  I've been so deeply indoctrinated by the WBTS that I couldn't fathom remotely the idea of believing in such things as life after death, going to heaven, a burning hell, baptism of infants, etc., etc., etc.

  Can't. Just can't.
