.......S I G H.............is there nothing that is not analyzed to the Nth degree by those guys? All I had wanted to do was put the head of my bed in the North for the benefits I was to derive. (Terry, it was a joke!)
Thanks for the copy Blondie.
just a brief observation.
the whole feng shui thing is really going mainstream.
everywhere everyone is trying to order their world using priciples of the ancient philosophy.

I believe the AW article would have been around 2001 or 2002.
Something like,"Feng Shui, is it for Christians?"

Yes, of course it is demonic I can't refer you to the exact issue, but before my walk away a couple of years ago, there was an article on it and full condemnation was the theme.
when i was a kid, we used to spend every weekend at my grandparants house.
my grammy had a huge leather brown couch, on which we watched movies (i was either on the couch or hiding in her arms cuz the movie scared me sh*tless).
one day, we were watching a movie, which endscene has haunted my mind ever since.
Vivamus:
With your first descriptive words of the movie, I was anxious to see if anyone told you (1939) "Wuthering Heights". As a young teen, I too, was enthralled with that movie, and scene, as he held her dying in his arms, looking out together at the heather growing on the moors. Several times I tried to watch it without my parents coming around the t.v. as I felt the JW moral code couldn't withstand the subject matter.
I read that a 1992 version is supposed to be just as good. Happy viewing!
.
jw's can get these this year and show how anti-christmas they really are!
(it's real, we have 'em at target, too!).
My husband just walked in from work, passed by the screen, did a double take,
and said, "what's that? A thong ?"
kids!
there are some heartless predators in your neighborhood - and they're trying to get you.
hooked on their addictive 'junk'.
Well stated, and not a bit humorous as it's the absolute sad truth.
Being surrounded with the death and destruction theme, does a number on anyone's brain and outlook.
This could not be stated as any more the truth than in the case of my dad who espoused the theme, more than exhuberantly, to every living creature.
After almost five decades of it's absorption into his own "three pound beauty", he was filled with so much anxiety at the waiting game for the "Big Show", that he checked out rather than wait any longer for it's arrival.
With all the warnings about what association, movies, television, and music to avoid, etc........... the WTS thinks nothing of what they are filling member's minds with.
It's a sick cult. YES, BEWARE!
so i was writing a paper the other day, specifically about the skewed world view that i had had as a witness, and i typed the following - .
pain, misery, strife, these were all things that used to prove to me that jehovah's witnesses were correct in their assessment of a dying world which was soon to be liberated/obliterated by the hand of god.
this "liberation" was something that i desperately longed for.
Yes, ha - having a steady diet of "death and destruction" for 42 years, I finally had had enough.
An elder had called after talking to my father who was "concerned" that I'd stopped attending meetings - I told the elder outright that "if I heard about death and destruction and the judgment of all one more time, I'd go running and screaming out of the Kingdom Hall!"
This was two years ago, and I've never heard from the elder again, except when he called to find out "if it was really so!" that my zealous jw dad had just killed himself. Death and destruction had permeated his every long winded comment for so many years, it finally got to him too.
okay, we know all the gas won't dry up soon, but it sure is expensive.
i got to thinking, what would i do and what would others do if there simply wasn't any gas to buy?
myself, would it no longer be worth making payments on my home and moving to another one closer to work?
We'd probably consider ourselves rich as the whole family wouldn't be paying exorbitant insurance rates, auto maintenance, and the cost of gas.
Recalling that my husband rode his bicycle to work for the first ten years we were married, it really did make a difference in our budget. The only thing keeping him from riding to work now, is the dangerous curvey road with no appropriate bike lane and the early morning darkness at 5:00 a.m. He's working on rearranging his schedule and keeps trying to convince me there's another route he could take that would be a bit safer. Riding to work each day is a great way to get that daily dose of exercise, for mind and body. You don't have to be trying to fit in that trip to the gym after work.
I was taking note on the newscasts, that there really wasn't any population in New Orleans with bikes, and that's sad, since it could have provided a way out. The USA lags behind many other countries in this regard yet we may be due for a resurgence in two wheel drive!
the twelve men who exert control over the lives of 6,000,000 people and who could put a stop to all the harm caused to families if they wanted to:
as i said in another thread, most of them started partaking the emblems after 1935. that's a clear sign that there's a corrosion of the "remnant" doctrine, because now most of the governing body are considered "replacements" of 'anointed ones who have fallen away'.
i finally found out the new gb members' ages.
Or, Pin the tail on the donkey??
