o.k....most people that know me know me to be a rational and logical person not prone to hype or the sensational.
nor am i infatuated with the supernatural as many jw's/ex-jw's are/were.
with that said, let me relate what happened to me at work last night.. on saturday night, we had four bad burns come in.
Would have scared me to death. Bit like the Sixth sense kind of thing.
I do believe in spirits or souls hanging aroung to reasure everyone that they are ok or to relay a message that they did not get the chance say. I would have felt privlidged later, once i stopped shaking, that she had come back and spoken to you.
you must have touched her some how.
it has been an absolute long time since i have been here and so much has happened.
i am now married (13/03/04) and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on 9/7/04 called lachlen.
he was 7lb 10oz and 50 cm long.
Hi Kelpie. Congrats on Marriage and baby. I know how you feel about the induction not working. They tries for two weeks to induce my son. In the end he came three days late.
Hope to here more from you, I'm and Aussie too
hey................... anyone heard from puternut and his move to hawaii?

I was wondering the same thing yesterday.
Wonder how he's going.
Him and his daughter, last i heard she was in a car accident, I hope she's ok
i've been a bit lax in posting, life got really busy over the last while.
i've had my own business that's been gaining contracts, but not quickly enough for mortgage payments and cat food.
hehe so i took a 5 month temp job to supplement.
Congratulations. Soo happy for the both of you.
Just ignore those yucky family members that can't be happy for you.
You must keep us posted, you have every right in the world to be walking on air.
two elders approached me yesterday afternoon while i was doing a bit of work on my car.
unsuccessful at reaching me in my home (mostly because i don't answer the doorbell when they come) they saw me outside and decided to stop to talk.
the conversation did not go especially well.
This same elder later came out with an odd diatribe against Muslims, stating that they "kill those who leave their religion".
No witness do worse the just emotionally torture them fot the rest of there lives
recently onacruse made a comment regarding why many jws remain jws.
a lot of people look at religion as a way to get together and be social with one another.
let's face it, people need "friends".
I only stayed for family, had few friends. The only friend I cared about, till chats from time to time. Our kids go to the same school and are best friends.
The family thing is no longer and issue, the only family I would be lost without still talks to me every day, my sister. and both my parents left before I did.
The rest of the family I still love, but unless they accept me for who I am then I don't want them in my life.
slow down and enjoy life.
it's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.. eddie cantor (1892 - 1964) .
there i was, slowly swaying back and forth in the rocking chair in my living room.
I know exactly what you mean.
i could go out and earn a packet and put my kids in child care. But I'm so happy being at home every day watching them grow and mature. I have the time to spend time at my kids school helping them all. I love it, teaching them and helping them.
We live on the poverty line but hey, were happy. My ex is real materialtstic, he earn't a packet, life is so much nore simpler with little money.
i am working on a david letterman type of ?top ten list?
to publicize my seminars with local churches.
sort of the top ten reasons a pastor would want his parishioners to become more familiar with the beliefs and practices of jehovah's witnesses.
I'd refrase 10 to say world and not US.
What about they dont follow god they follow the governing body and it's slaves. Or something to that effect.
i finally got my jw sister out of my house today ... for good.
she has been living/loafing/freeloading in my house for a full year now.
the rest of my jw family came to help her move.
I know, kids are great ice breakers and only the hardest people will refuse a tract from a cute little kid.
.
just got this from a non jw girlfriend and had to share.
.
I thought it might have, thought new ones like me might find it funny though.
