  i arrived home after work last night, my two daughters were away on a residential course, my son staying with a friend.

  i was preparing a meal with my four year old when the phone rang.

  the call was from a ministerial servant from my old congregation.

  Every once in a while you run into a really caring dub who will do a little extra. Most of the time they are scared witless/shitless (take your pick) of talking with anyone who may make them feel uncomfortable in the least bit.

  IEmpty feeling

  by Ray6 in

  2. friends

  iam a jw right now, and iam on public reproof.

  the problem is: even before i was reproved, i did not feel like i was apart of a loving family, i did not feel or see true love in the org., i felt empty after every meeting, as if i sat in a business recruitment course or weekly business seminar.

  i feel a lot of the poeple there, especially the elders are backstabbers.

  so, taking those title elements in reverse order: the young witness is me ?

  this story goes back to the early sixties.

  the three dates are: february 1986, august 11th 1999, and june 8th 2004. it's the fact that the last of those dates is , after all these years, finally nearly here that made me think of writing this post.

  As in the case of Cain and Abel. Does God much prefer the death of an animal better than grain or produce to show how much we love him?

  Yes Running Man, the WTS makes every word mean something else that only they through guiding by holy spirit, (but not through inspiration) can see.

  That was very interesting Amazing.

  Damn Alan, you certainly have a sense of humor and quick wit. I think he will probably say something like this though.

  Amazing, I dare you to come up with all the the references for ?come?. Come on I double dare you. The word "come" from the IAMFULLOFIT 2006 edition page 194 par 6 shows that with eyes of discernment the only true definition with the help of holy spirit could be "presence".
