i am not trying to compete with fmz as he has a supernatural thread going already but - do you secretlyt wish for a demon attack - serious question - the reason i ask this is because - if i had a demon attack it would mean there was a satan the devil and if there was a satan it would mean there was god.
what i am trying to say in a nutshell is "a demon attack would actually strengthen my faith" where at the moment it is non-existent almost
demon attack= existence of devil= existence of God
i feel the exact same way... i have been considering trying a ouija board for a long time now just for that reason. but i'm still too scared to do it. BUT IM NOT AFRAID TO USE SMURFS ANYMORE!!!

i will give you an example of what i mean.....two 'sisters' were gone away for the day and they were doing some shopping...there was a used clothing store and it was called something like "the church corner"...keep in mind it was not an old church, nothing religious about it at all.
but one of the 'sisters woulgn't go into it because of the name!!!
so do any of you have stories like that??
a lot of "brothers" in canada won't wear a TEAM CANADA hockey jersey because it is nationalism. even some of the italian brothers around here won't wear any italy soccer jerseys because they sport the green/white/red colours and those are the colours of the italian flag.

i nearly fell out of my chair when in reading the novel "the innocent" by harlan coben.
i came accross this hillarious reference to jw's.. the character referred to is a washed up stripper from vegas...now playing dive joints in reno.... .
the doorbell rang.....kimmy dale threw on a robe and opened her bedroom door.

so i was curious, besides leaving the organ, what other life altering decisions have you made that have greatly improved your life, that you wouldn't have made were you still under the "sheep" mentality?.
for me, divorcing my ex, taking a chance to get involved with anyone again, and working at fulfilling my lifelong goal of running my own business (non cleaning or menial labor related).
my self worth and confidence has absolutely increased for acting on these decisions..
STOP BRAGGING RIOTGIRL!!! ha kidding. good for u! i enjoy walking past the arrangement on saturday mornings to go for a motorcycle ride. i also like walking past the bookstudy group on tuesday evenings to go for a beer and chicky wingies

"give a good witness" today i made an effort to wave to my neighbour, not because i particularly wanted to or like him, but had a feeling i needed to "prove how nice i was or to give a good witness" .
habits die hard, this follows on from the guilt thread.
i still feel that *i put on a front, i cant be myself, in case i do or say something that could bring reproach, what the hell on i dont know i havent been to a meeting for over a year no one here knows i was a witness.
yep- i do it too! but i give a good witness for humans. i try to be as polite as i can, except to chinese people when im driving... they don't seem to mind when i get upset.

seeing as i'm dowloading songs so i can blast them at the neighbour kids, i was thinking, what songs stand the test of time?
what songs do you listen to over and over again and never get tired of.
here's my list.. if you tolerate this - manic street preachers.
bright eyes- art garfunkle
enter sandman- metallica
always on my mind- willy nelson (pet shop boys!!!)
ANY CHICAGO SONG IF YOU'RE AT A WEDDING!!!

Well, their expansion in to DUMBO is fitting.
hahaha what the hell is a DUMBO anyways, other than that homosexual packiderm that defied the laws of physics?

i was eating a sinful double order of biscuits/gravy when this sister i knew came up to my table.
as is usual with witness mentality, not a single word about the family or any other matter, just launched into "hubby and i were out by your house in service, stopped by but no one was home" then she tactlessly mentioned that she had not seen us around the hall for a while.
i told her we were not attending meetings any longer.
way to witness to the witness! i hate the expression "GET BUSY"...

conversation between my little 10 years old brother and my dub-dad before he departs for the meeting:.
little bro: daddy...why do you have to go to kingdom hall?.
dub-dad: well, because jehovah wants us too.
that's why the dubs sing that song... "we must have a faith accompanied by works..." it's like being a good little boy for when santa comes back at his appointed time (whenever that is!)
