my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.
since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.
immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.
So sorry for your loss Brother Mike,
It really hurts to lose loved ones. Please hang around and try to learn from those of us who have been through it all and just try to ignore the ignorance of some. If some comments offend you, just let them pass over you like water. I learned that the hard way in my 9 year on this forum. Sometimes I would get nasty with a few posters but I have learned to like some of them in the meantime. We are all on a journey.
Take care,
HappyDad
a sure guarantee that this was bogus (really, any reasoning is required at all?
) was that it did the rounds applied to john denver, annie lennox and others.. basically, they relied on satan (oh yes) for their musical ability (i knew it) and any jws in the audience would be asked to leave because ... (drum roll) ... they blocked the signal to satan so couldn't perform with them present!.
anyone else remember that gem?.
I just googled it and the guy was Aliester Crowley (occultist)

Oh Gheesh,
I remember that one. Only heard it once about John Denver getting his ability from Satan and asking JW's to leave. But I heard many times about his asking if there were any JW's in the audience and then asking them to leave. Also heard a lot about Blue Oyster Cult and Led Zeppelin being inspired by demons. Oh.....and how about the one big Beatles album from 1965....Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band? There was one person on the cover (can't remember his name right now) I think it was Alastair something. He supposedly helped channel the Beatles to the spirit world for their inspiration.

have you ever bought anything?.
my favorite commercial is the guy that screams because he's trying to clean his ears!
ahhhhhhggghhhh!!!
I forgot..........I bought at a discount store those plastic discs that made moving heavy furniture easy. They had a sign "As Seen On TV". Those things are fantastic and I would like to buy more of them if I ever see them again.

I bought my Ninja Kitchen System two years ago and love it. It is everything they claim. I can take a piece of chuck roast and in less than 15 seconds, it is ground meat for the freshest burger ever. It makes snow cone ice in 10 to 15 seconds also.

That was my supernatural experience. But I did see a UFO in 1992 that blew my mind. It was a silver ball shaped object in the bright blue summer sky that sped so fast, I could not believe it. I blinked my eyes and it was gone. WE ARE NOT ALONE!

In 1965 LSD gave me one hell of a trip and these days as I'm becoming an old man, I wouldn't mind trying it again. My life was ruined by the WT.

i used to always see them preaching.
now, it seems as though they rarely are around.
the only witnesses i see, every once in a while, are the hispanic ones..
I rarely see them around but I know they've been to my door. They leave there "scat" (tracts) behind. And about 2 months ago there was an unexpected knock and I answered it without thinking and lo and behold, two elders from my former KH came to call on me. I haven't seen these guys for over 10 years. I moved 5 years ago and no one from my former life knew where I was. With the internet today, you can find out where anyone lives today and I guess that is what they did. One thing I can say about these two is that they were great guys when I served and socialized with them I was caught so off guard that all I did was ask how they were doing but they were strictly business. All I said was that I'm not interested in talking at all and closed the door.

i asked my son quite randomly before bed what he thinks the meaning of life is.
like always, his answer brought a smile to my face.
he said, "to have a great time .. to have fun and have friends ... and be happy.
Wonderful!
