  How old is your "soul"?

  by obiwan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think i have mentioned this before, but i'm curious.

  my girlfriend and i had a discussion with some friends about how old they felt thier souls were.

  for myself, i have the feeling with alot of things in life that i have done them before.

  Death doesn't too much. I just hope it happens peacefully. And I hope it happens before aging interferes with life.

  Your favorite holiday song?

  by Gopher in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  even when i was a jw, i enjoyed hearing holiday music.

  some of it is religious, some of it is just "holiday cheer" music.

  but it's fun to listen to, and sometimes those songs just stick in your head.. do you have any particular favorites this time of year?.

  i'll tell what i got on the other thread later, but i'd like to know what you all gave this year.

  i gave my oldest son a set of chinese exercise balls in a beautiful silk box.

  he needs to relax!!.

  I gave my neighbor a really cool book and small handmade knick knack. I wrapped both up into a bundle and stuck it in her door a couple of days ago. She probably fell over when she saw it, as it was my first neighborly holiday gifting.

  I didn't get a thing from anyone. But that's okay... there's more happiness in giving than in receiving.

  Thank you, Lee.

  Those trees look really cool IRL... we walked through the neighborhood and saw them in around the yards.

  Happy Holidays to you too!

  Longing for someone to celebrate the holiday with.

  Christmas day has always been the lonliest day of my life. Everything (but the movie theatre) is closed. It's like a strange twilight zone day.

  Holidays are a hard time for some...

  by Billygoat in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i really try hard every year to keep christmas in perspective.

  the tree is lovely, the smells of good food are yummy, presents are great to give and receive, but i really try to remember that it is a time of celebration and family.

  it is a time for me to celebrate the birth of my friend jesus christ.

  After JW, do you hunger for all the things you didnt do..simple things

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  being raised a jw, i honestly did not know what a great big world we live in.

  all the places i never went to see, things i wanted to do,,,, because i figured , i will just do that when the new world gets here.

  there was always going to be forever to do all the things that make life interesting.. i settled for the here and now as a good jw, meetings, field service, studying the same material over and over in the wt publications, and that was my life.

  I always appreciate your thoughts, LyinEyes.

  My answer to your question is yes. Once I stopped the JW life, I felt my life start moving forward instead of sideways. I'm still pretty young and am grateful that I decided to start living while I had the drive and curiosity to keep doing so.

  Time is mine to spend as I wish. My thoughts can go anywhere and contemplate anything. Life is surely a banquet. And the small things we can stop and take notice of instead of rushing off to a meeting are lovely.

  Thanks!

  ...Back from the Convention today.

  ok so i braved the traffic in london all along the south circular to nw london to get to twickenham convention today.

  i must admit to getting a bit freaked when the traffic ground to a halt in central london, but eventually got to the stadium.

  well i only got to the sunday pm part of the programme, for the public discourse, "who are giving god glory today"....handled by a very able speaker.

  "I saw it, I felt it. It was real. ... I guess you have to make your choice about where you're going, and what you want."

  Scooby,

  You realized something of great value today. There are pros and cons to every situation and every decision we make. I think it is especially difficult for those of us who continue to experience both sides of the JW/Non JW coin. You experienced something that I still believe is real. It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?

  Whatever it is, do it for you.

  Take care,
