ok, granted i am a newly-transplanted californian to portland....so maybe not a big deal to most.. but i'm told this is unusual for portland....snow has been falling all morning, there are about 3 inches now...it is a soft, feathery dry snow.
i've already been for a few walks ... it is so quiet and muted out especially for a city.
people are out walking (can't drive!
WoW! I have been in Paris a few different winters (Dec/Jan) and never got to see snow! how super!
I think it is hard to imagine Paris any more beautiful than it already is, but frosted with snow would do it. All the fabulous buildings with that extra touch....must be magical.
Incroyable! Merveilleux! (lol)
my mother gave me the last few watchtower and awakes when i visited her this week.....in the 1-1-04 watchtower, under the article---"jehovah's word is alive---highlights from the book of genesis---1"-------on page 29, the question is asked:"did jehovah god speak to adam directly?
" notice their answer.
"the bible reveals that when god spoke to humans, it was often through an angel.
well, wish I could, but I gave up reading the Watchtower many years ago.
Generally speaking, my memory is that what they do use to try and back up their statements was NWT...an unreliable, inaccurately translated source.
or like other media sources, picked and chose quotes / examples from other information sources (news, historical, etc.) to support their biased viewpoint.
or they fell back on FAITH....which really didn't have to be backed up and of course all Good Christians had in their back pocket when all arguments failed...

Yay! my doggy and I are lapping it up (literally and figuratively)!!! Woo Hoo, gonna go back out soon and build a snowgirl!

Happy New Year to all of my new acquaintances! be safe...
well, as i have posted here before, i am in a rotten relationship.
so, i have decided to get a phone tape recorder thingy.
sheesh, i can't believe the other lives this person i am living with is living.
Storm makes a good point. Have you considered just leaving, now that you know what you know? IMO, it would be safer. Confrontation probably won't accomplish anything positive.
Protect yourself. It sounds like you've made huge inroads. Why not put yourself first and move on?
Whatever you decide, be safe.

Congratulations! Lucky you ... and appreciation for the empathy! thanks much !
i am an ex-witness who faded from the religion about 4 years ago.
interestingly, i am not new to this board because i have been lurking here for over 2 years and enjoying the great wealth of spiritual food here.
i feel so connected with many of the posters here because of my passive involvement with this board.
(((Great Crowd)))
congratulations on taking that step! you've obviously already benefited from the site ... but that won't compare to the friendly welcome and overall tolerant support found here...
I only found the site a month ago myself, and it has been helpful to me already. :o)
