are you 100% sure you're doing the right thing??
?
I am. I mean, I have found many wrong things, but the fighting in my family, sometimes I wish I never knew. Ignorance is bliss as they say. If I never looked deep, or my one brother, or my sister, we would be a happy together family. I wish we all left together. I mean, I am glad we left, and have learned to question, but I miss our family getting along.
Hope I made sense here.

seriously, they masquerade as angels of light, with their dark chocolate minty taste (my personal satan being the thin mint ones) but in reality they are little fiendish wafers of fat and carbohydrates waiting to attack the weak defences of your tastebuds so they can defile the temple of your flesh.
i think i need an exorcism....or another box of cookies *sigh*
I love Girl Scout Cookies, they are yummy for the tummy. One problem though, they don't give you as many as they use to
I have to admit, I was a bit po'ed when I opened a box and there were not enough for us to get two cookies each. There are 14 cookies for $3.50. So I had to buy a second box just so I could have some.
i was wondering...what un-written rules have y'all come across ?
the rules that have gotten you or others in trouble?
including all the "grey rules," that are open to interpretation by indubviduals and committee's.
Yes Rabbit, I do feel the love. My Mom keeps saying, as long as they are alive, there is hope. The witnesses are right no matter what. She loves God more than us, and she tells us that. He gave us life, and we need to love him too. She worries about all of us kids and her grandkids. I was the last to leave.
I forgot about the two door car thing. I remember buying my 1976 Potnitac Grand Prix. It was only $300 and it was all I could afford. Anyway, long story. Thanks for the remind.
"the bible is the inspired word of god.
"holy spirit came upon men who then wrote the various books that make up the bible.
what was the criteria for determining if a given piece of writing, such as the books matthew, mark, luke, john and acts, or letters, such as the ones written by paul, were inspired?
Narkissos,
Thank you very much for your reply. I never knew any of that. It is appreciated. :-)

For what was actually allowed into the Bible of today it was left to the Catholic church. They decided what was to become the Bible we know today.
I have a question here. Why does my Catholic Bible have books that is not in other bibles?
"happy are those concious of their spiritual need?
" do you still have a desire for spiritual things?
Do you still have a desire for spiritual things?
Yes I do, but I feel like I am just spinning my own wheels.

The serious, the funny and the seriously stupid...!
I am going to talk about my brother. He used to do the microphones, his suit started looking worn. We were a large family and there was only money for one suit/dress per child. It wasn't in the budget for a new one, so he lost his privileges. I mean, there were no holes or anything, it just wasn't new looking.
Then same brother married a girl who was not in the "truth." When others from our old cong. see him, they literally turn their back on him. Of course he taps them on the shoulder says hi, and walks away laughing. (wish I had his guts)
My one sister was never baptized, but she married out of the "truth" also. The used to tell my mom, well you have other children.
My son could not do the mikes because he wanted to grow his facial hair, and I let him. He's 14, and we are talking fine blond hair. He wanted it, and I saw no harm in it. There is no scripture why he cannot have his facial hair. This was what started me doing research into teachings. My son is the oldest of 6, and I am a single mom. He feels all grown up, even though we all know he isn't. But he wanted his hair. I wished he never showed it off, Always saying, come look at this, and point out his face covered in fine blond hair. They wouldn't even call on him to comment. argggg, he's just a boy, and I am a bad mom because I did not force it off his face.

i know so many jws that love to think satan and his demons are after them.
if they were being "persecuted", it was because of the devil and his demons.
if they got an ache or pain, it was because satan was trying to "discourage" them.......did you think the demons were trying to get you, too?
I have a question, do people who believe in demons necessarily believe in God? If they believe in God, do they believe that God is stronger than the demons and the demons can only have control over you if you invite them into your life?
I am sorry to answer you question with a question, but I have to. Can you believe in some force in the world that is not God or Demons?
explore mars now <http://www.exploremarsnow.org/>
is an amazingly realistic interactive animated tour of what a mars habitat would look like (if bush had another $500 billion to spend.
stop laughing.
Thanks for the link. I do think space exploration is really neat, but I just don't see it in the budget this year. I wish Bush would pick on thing to put what is left of his mind to, and do the job right. Then move on. WMD were not found, but there are still troops over there. I wish he would finish up there before he tries to put resourses somewhere else.
Ok, I am done rambling.

When I cannot get thin mints, I get Keebler's grasshoppers. Or if I feel like a good drink, 1/3 creme de mint, 1/3 creme de cocoa, and 1/3 creme. Liquid grasshoppers.
