She Went To Sleep And Woke Up 30 Years Later
by dh injust came accross this interesting story, it's old news but still thought it was an interesting read.... .
she went to sleep and woke up 30 years later .
the real-life story of annie shapiro - who fell into a coma at age 50 in 1963 - is more remarkable than the movie based on her miraculous re-awakening.

Opposition to this site
by Crumpet ini have only been a recent user of this site.
the other night i explained what it was i was spending time reading online some evenings when my boyfriend is out and tried to explain how it is helping me finally let go of the jw beliefs that i have clung to for so long.
i thought he would be pleased, but he got really angry and now is very difficult any time i try to use the internet at home.

much of it is lack of understanding on his part, perhaps he feels that you'll go back or be sucked into it all again...when I went to my first apostate fest my husband asked if everyone there was whining and dwelling on the past...I said no, your understanding of this is incorrect, if anything it helped me to re-connect with my past in order to understand a lot of feelings I've had today. I've pushed it aside long enough and put myself into denial, but the truth is, my past is still there, and I needed to face it, cry over it, laugh over it. This board has helped me to finally feel and understand what that dark shadow was hovering over me. I still don't talk about it with my spouse, I think he would rather it didn't exist as well (my past that is)...so I just don't. He's a good guy don't get me wrong, he's never been angry about my connections on this board, we just don't talk about it.

nope, it was a big thing at the age of 14 though. the only thing I remember the speaker saying is that it's a date you will remember for the rest of your life....yup, he was right, I just wish I could forget it.

running and cycling, I've joined a couple of running groups and cycle groups...met great friends.
enjoy staying home with my family on an extremely cold "meeting" night, guiltlessly watching videos, drinking hot cocoa and warming my toes by the fire, or a Sunday morning taking a leisurely walk to the Starbucks and stopping off at the kiddie park so my son can have fun like other normal (non-JW children) children.
going out dancing, drinking....
celebrating life.....such as birthdays....having a surprise 40th b-day party this Saturday for a good friend.
this list goes on.......

Change in application to Luke 21:28?
by FairMind inluke 21:28 tells us that christians living during the time of the fulfillment of the prophecies showing that the end of this system was near were to hold their heads erect as their deliverance was near.
or at least this is the way the wts has always explained this scriptural passage.
last night, our visiting co mentioned in that this is no longer the way we interpret this scripture and that our past understanding was incorrect.

...and the light keeps getting brighter and brighter....
I'm sure if you would ask him to further explain, he'd give some bs response like.....'the faithful and discreet slave class will provide that food at the proper time'.....you'd never get a straight answer, but it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway, just to see them dance around the subject.
