i have been calling my kids for some time now.
i am moving far away soon, and since i haven't had any contact with my daughters, i called them to let them know i was moving, and would like to say goodbye, before i flew away.
weeks went by, as ususal, and no response.
WOW, that is way too cool!!
Best wishes, hope to hear from you in hawaii.

be honest.
if you were raised a jw didn't you fear that you would die during the great tribulation and never have sex for all eternity (since ressurrected people don't have sex, according to the wt)?
whenever i think of an early demise -- nuclear war, for instance -- my thoughts almost automatically turn to, "i want to have sex.
OMG, logan, that is too funny
I thought I was the only one who felt that way

although i consider myself to be christian, i am very much interested in astrology and the study of its affects on us.
i belive it is a science, however according to some of our previous and current beliefs, this is a no-no.
i was wondering if anyone else has an interest in this and how much of a conflict it really is with christianity?.

Do you know of any books or info on this? I would like to look into it.
My problem is, being newly df'd, causes a conscience issue with me,
since anything to do with astrology was a no-no
My quest for quenching my thrist on this topic still continues
thank u, sinamon
the anwser is: know one really knows but jehovah.. i have been df'd for 3 years now.
i still struggle with: "should i go back cuz i dont want to die" .
but then its not really for the "right" reason.
From what we were taught only, jehovahs people (those who are baptized and in good standing) get saved at armageddon
however, those considered to be in "good standing" and have positions in the congregation, are the ones who are lying
so I guess I have come to somewhat of a conclusion:
at armageddon, if there is an armageddon, it seems that more of us who are outside of the congregation would be saved before
any of them would be (excluding those sincere ones who try to do their best, i used to be one of those)
thank u all for your support, it is a difficult journey

many believe in god and that when we die we go to be with him and live forever.
but what if this life is all there is, and god in the end, has no plans for you in eternity.
would you still love him in the now?
God always has a purpose or a plan
But this is assuming he wouldnt....I cant say
Since im newly df'd, Im still trying to figure out my head from my a---!!

the following quote is from the watchtower, october 15, 1993, page 11:.
"spacious kingdom halls, expensive sound equipment, assembly halls, and attractive bethel homes bring glory to god and offer a silent witness that he is blessing his people.".
if this is true of jehovah's witnesses, should it not be equally true of catholics, who through the centuries have constructed the vatican as well as magnificent cathedrals?
Wow!!! thats really in there?
sounds a little showy to me. pulling at straws to get others to come in, i guess.

hi there everyone, just wanted to see if any of you believe in any psychics or paranormal activity.
i know that as a jw we are taught that any ghosts are demons and any psychic activities are demonized.
would love to hear any feedback and or any pesonal experiences you have had and if you believe they are all demons, or if there is a difference between good and bad spirits.
Six.......
i love it...LOL.....i bet we could

actually the 'not inherently male' comment was mine
I find your experience very interesting, are u an aquarius or pisces at all?
Paranormal curiosity is very frowned upon, nice to see u got back to it

Obviously Six, u are showing your true male colors.
Intuition isnt something inherently male. I think theres a sports topic on here somewhere.
