Therefore, after my first year of regular pioneering, I stopped putting money in the contribution box.

i was reading jjrizo's thread about elders who take advantage of the kh, and i had a memory i'd like to share.
all my life growing up i had heard about how "jehovah takes care of those who put kingdom interests first.
" and all of those experiences on the platform about getting an envelope "with the exact rent amount due the day before we were to be evicted" and so on.

i never have regrets.
Oh slippy that is hateful, just so very hateful... and dang it it made me smile... you sick freak...
i'm spending the week more or less lounging around my place on vacation, & today's my birthday, so i thought i'd ask all you hopeless apostate types <eg>, what's your take on astrology?
for years i thought this was a ridiculous practice, even after leaving the dubs.
but after reading a book that breaks down which planet was where on which day, and how each "affects" me, i don't feel i can blow it all off as coincidence or as one-size-fits-all doubletalk.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Cass -- AWWWWWWW thanks!!!!!!

Wanna birthday tarot reading? I will be home tonight, I will give you a Bday tarot reading if you want but you gotta pay the long distance. E-mail me for my phone number. Not that this is an open invitation for everybody else. Please do not ask for one unless I offer or I would never have a personal life. LMFAO!
Anyhow, you are a Gemini, but that is only part of you. I can do astrology charts but I am swamped with way too many as it is from peole on the baord and not enough time to do them in... I am too busy at work right now to post much on Gemini Sun Sign, I will try to put a bit more down tomorrow.
Hugs,
Amanda
Edited because I spell like I am 3 years old -- time to go home

Xander --
Totally OT, but this, I think, is a most endearing attribute. I wish I could feel as you do, perhaps I could someday in different company. While not exactly holding grudges, I maintain a level of coldness you seem to have avoided.
NOt sure I have avoided it really, just cannot help it. Or even explain it really. At times, I am beyond moved by even the most simple things around me. I was not always like this, but now, I guess you could say... I have been enlightened?
Andi --
Forgiving does not = forgetting.
Perception is reality.

((((((((((ANDI))))))))))
just believe that saying a person is mentally ill or brainwashed is NOT an excuse to let someone off the hook. Love them? Yes. Forgive them? I'll try. Forget the damage they caused? Never.
If you cannot forget than you cannot forgive. Forgiveness is not a requirement, but without it, I htink the healing process will never be complete.
One thing I have learned. I have the most open heart and I won't ever harbor a grudge or feel hate. Spice and I discussed this yesterday. The only way for me to hate you is to touch my daughter. You do that and you will open the gates of hell -- and even then I will have pity on your poor misguided soul. Burn me, torch me, rip my heart in two. I will continue to lay my heart and soul on the line out of sheer faith. Perhaps this is naive of me, but I don't care. Without having an open heart you cannot feel or give love completely.
Ignorance is never an excuse, but it helps you better understand the criminal.

rev - Friends of mine (grown professional adults who I would trust with my life and would never lie to me) upon visiting their parents in Cuba purchased furniture for their parents. Only a certain class of people can purchase furniture there from the way they explained things to me. The only piece of furniture they had was a 3-legged table and when they left they had a house full. After they left, the military did find out what they had and all furniture was confiscated and he and his wife were beaten very badly. Sad, but a very true experience.

Forgiveness is one of the biggest keys to healing and happiness. Forgiveness of yourself included. Without it, all the bad memories well up inside, simmer and boil, explode and then continue another cycle. Without forgiveness, in my opinion, you can't ever heal.
Again, I reiterate, J-DUB parents cannot help being they way they are. I feel they are truly brainwashed, diseased in the mind. Would a parent be a bad parent if they knew better? Well, perhaps, but I tend to think they are very sick in the mind.
Would a sane person with a healthy brain molest or abuse an innocent person? No. this can be argued all day I suppose but when you come down to it, it is all about mental health. Some have it, some don't.
