Welcome blink sk8!
You seem so mature for your age!!! Wow! You are thinking of things that I didn't think of until I was way older. I'm glad you are tho....because you can get a life while your young. Good luck to you! And welcome again.

is it my imagination, or do jehovah witnesses have an "everyone is against me" attitude??
our daughter-in-law (who is a jw) seems to have this mind-set.
whether its getting the car repaired, going to the doctor, work done on the house, etc., they all have "ripped her off".
Yes Yes Yes.
My Mom is the same way. I was actually embarassed to be seen with her cause she was always complaining to the store clerks about getting ripped off on some product. It's so funny you should mention it. I thought my Mom was the only one who did this. It probably does have something to do with the "out to get us" attitude.
again, this ain't to toot my own horn, i'm just curious.
this morning a guy from work called me (we had one of those all too rare days off).
he says, "hey, i need you to help me this morning, can you do me a favor?".
Yeru! Your topic of "New Contract"!

oops! All of your post wasn't on when I read it.......Yeah you are way toooooo naive....and by the way, you never answered my question the other day.

Used to be but not anymore when it comes to JW's. Out in the real world? Well...I think I need to work on that!
ok so we're all having fun with this quiz that got started.
i am fairly new (but not a newbie) here and just want to see how well you know me from my posts........... winner get's a dinner and night out on the town.
my treat !.
Hey Puternut!
I only got 70. I guess that means I don't get dinner out and a night on the town......
My heart is broken...
i've actually been hit by a car on friday the 13th (i believe).
of course i really didn't know what day it was cuz i was knocked da feck out, but hey.... also today i thought my tickets were sold out, but ticketmaster was just doing an update to its site, yay!
uhm, about the only other thing that has happened to me was, um, i don't remember really...
Hey Nosferatu!
Iv'e got black cats too! Nobody seems to want them. I always pick up the black strays. Best cats I've ever had.
Nope, nothing bad has happened on Friday the 13th.......yet.......
are you a good keeper of secrets are are you a blabbermouth?.
has someone ever told you "you have to promise not to tell a soul!!
did you promise?
I can keep a secret. Sometimes it's tempting to tell my husband, but I try to think how I would feel if the other person told my secret to her husband. I've been the keeper of a few secrets that will go to the grave with me!
just curious to see, how some of you who have been out recently, or out for a very long time, have gone on with your outlook on life.
do you still believe in the bible?
do you still cling to some of the 'old' teachings?
I will never be part of organized religion again. When I first got out, I still believed in God for a long time. I wanted to believe he was different from what I was raised to see him as. But now I do have those doubts if there really is a god. A well written story of men long ago, like poets. They wrote some pretty hard to understand stuff and beautiful too. Is that all the bible is? I beginning to wonder.....
Being a good person and taking care of my family is the most important thing to me now. I feel closer to one of my big oak trees in my yard than god. At least the oak gives me shade in the summer and something beautiful to look at. I don't get anything from god.......
they were discussing this on the radio this morning.
are you defined by what you have done in your past, or is it the present experiences that define you?.
the dj and tracey lawrence (country singer) were trying to emphasize that we are defined by what we do now as opposed to our past.. are we as a group here an exception?
I'm with you Sassy. You can't change the past. It stays with you and you can't keep looking back wondering what you might have been or done. I think my past helped me to be more independent. I was always a follower and never questioned. Now I am very independent and making my life what I want it to be. As much as I dislike the way I was brought up in the religion, I'm going to try to go on and not use it for a crutch. But we all know........it's very hard to do sometimes.
