so true...so very true...
no kids were allowed outside the kingdom hall alone at one point because there was too much going on to distract them from the word of god.
*gr*
take a good look at ezekiel's post regarding the district convention's talk on behavior at meetings and note the.
society's complaint that too much gum chewing and paper rustling is going on.
kids, they note, have been observed.

i don't know about everyone else but i just want to get these stories of godly/demonic intervention out of my system.
hope it doesn't bore you but some are a good laugh now but i truly believed them and some i still believe.. 1. don't open that cabinet- one day my dear step mother was cleaning the kitchen and needed something out of a cabinet that was rarely used.
there was a plastic cake dish that makes this very audible noise when trying to close it(lil cheap cake from winn dixie).
while at a convention in corvalis oregon, 2 sisters were staying in a hotel room, but had been late for the convention each day. The clock was going BACKWARDS, and they hadnt noticed it untill they were late on the 3rd morning. They searched their room high and low, and found an occult book in the bedstand drawer, where the bible usually is.
we've learned so much about each other and i thought i'd toss this out atcha.....
i'm five feet tall (or short---however you see it :-) and wondering how tall you are!

i haven't been to the hall in quite some time even though all my family are still in and i see some of the witnesses from time to time.
i am not disfellowshipped and don't intend to be as i don't see why they should have the right to stop me talking to my folks.
however one of my friends has just had the big d and is now regretting it.
you're right, JW's do get drunk alot. but instead of admitting they have a problem, if they get caught, the put their dick between their legs and beg for mercy. This works for two purposes, one, it feeds the elders' "we are allmighty" complex, and two, leaves the person to get drunk again without any help.
as much as i believe that the witnesses are a "cult", i don't think i'd choose to legally ban them.
what about you?
?
insomniac,
you said it would jsut be a meaningless phrase...you mean like free speech? Why is everything censored if its free...
i wouldnt outlaw them, that would give them the ability to become marytrs. the last thing we need is more JW's playing the "We do gods work, even facing DEATH" card...*throws rocks*
i got this little inspirational email from a friend this morning (don't worry, i won't do this every day, just today).
being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.
it means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
haha, sweet.
you don't need to read a book or consult a psychological expert.
it's all very simple.. ask yourself: if i refer to this group as a "cult", could i be excommunicated or disfellowshipped or expelled?.
have the leaders of this group instructed me not to refer to it as a "cult"?.
so..angry....
during a recent c.o.
visit, the latest itinerant from the society seemed a bit subdued as he talked about the difficulties.
of his employment.
i hope they are.
i saw a movie tonight and came home thinking about a couple old friends who are still witnesses.
i miss them something awful.
i needed to write, so i wrote in my journal for a while, but i really felt the need to write them directly.
*pats on back* Sorry bro. I know it can be tough...but the good times are right around the corner! If you ever need to hang out with some x-jdubs, then come on down to beaverton! i'll get a few of them over here!
y'all y'all: i think i am done with my slave name (deleted).
but it's taken me years to get 200 posts!
can i transfer them, or do i have to start afresh?
wow, ive never even seen you post!
