What book are you reading now?
by ozziepost infrom time to time we like to share some good reads with each other on jwd, and now might be a good time to share with you what i'm reading this week.
it's "the gate" by francois bizot which tells of his experiences as the only western prisoner to survive the khmer rouge in cambodia.
in 1971, on a routine outing through the cambodian countryside, the young french ethnologist francois bizot is captured by the khmer rouge.

Do you open the mail, even if it's not addressed to you?
by Maverick inwhen i was married my wife would open all the mail, even personal letters sent to me or our daughter.
i hated it!
if the letters where from old friends of the female persuasion she would give them to me later, opened and often mangled, in the evening and want an explaination.

I open bill and stuff. I never open personal letters addressed only to my husband though. When I was a teenager, my mom used to steam open my letters, read them, seal them and then give them to me. The violation of privacy made me crazy, I would never do that to anyone!!

I wasn't in chat either (can't get it to work). I'm so sorry about your friend. Don't stress about what you said in chat, you just hang in there and know that you and your friend are in a lot of people's prayers right now!!

I need HELP!!!!!!!!!
by Samdownunder incan anyone relate and help with the nagging doubts that it really was the"truth" and we are all doing the wrong thing and being misled.
i have read a lot of information to sway me from the witnesses and to think it is only a man made religion, but still i fear i could be wrong and going against god.
how do you all deal with this feeling that surely most have experienced.

Time, for me, has made it easier. The further I get away from it all, the less doubt assuages me. You will eventually hardly think of it.

After leaving the jdubs, I began to celebrate all the holidays, but was kind of weirded out by Halloween. I got over it after carving my first pumpkin. I've got the most kick-ass pumpkins on the street now. I've done Ozzy and Yoda, to name a few! So much fun.
