  I think for some people they do.

  For me no because I have really weird dreams. Ok, like my last one was about my Dead Grand father who died a few weeks ago. Also, my dad who just got re married. Anyway, it was so weird. Ok, My grandfather was marrying my dad and his new wife and he was an Elvis Impersonator. And everyone was dressed up like Elvis. And they were married in Las Vegas in a Casino next to the Black Jack table where I was sitting playing the game as my dad got married. The the Real Elvis came out and said "I will not have anymore of this". And made everyone take off thier Elvis costumes.

  I think if I told that to a dream expert they would say yeah it just means something is wrong with you. And that I have issues and need to deal with them!

  Does dying scare you?

  by JH in

  .

  as jw dubs, we were sure we would live forever.

  when we left the organization, probably we all started to accept that paradise wouldn't be around the corner, and that we would probably die like everyone else around us.. how do you deal with the fact that you will one day die?

  Before I wasn't scared to die. I didn't care really. But, that was when I was a full time JW.

  Now I am scared to die. I don't want to die and not be able to live life. I don't want to go yet and have everything take away from me again.

  I was just reading on the Watchtower.org and I was thinking of the Scripture in Revelation where it states Tribe, Nation and, Tongue. here it States as followed:

  Does God really care about us?

  Part 11

  That prophecy is now being fulfilled among those who submit to 'God's ways and walk in his paths.' The last book of the Bible speaks of this peace-loving international society of people as "a great crowd . . . out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues," a true global brotherhood serving God unitedly. And the Bible also says: "These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation." That is, they will survive the end of this evil system of things

  Tribe:

  Entry:	association
  Part of Speech:	noun
  Definition:	group
  Synonyms:	affiliation, alliance, band, brotherhood, bunch, circle, clan, clique, club, coalition, combination, combo, company, confederacy, confederation, congress, cooperative, corporation, crew, crowd, family, federation, fellowship, fraternity, gang, guild, hookup, league, mob, order, organization, outfit, partnership, pool, rat pack, ring, society, syndicate, tie-in, tie-up, Tribe, troops, troupe, union, zoo

  Nation:

  Entry:	Nation
  Part of Speech:	noun
  Definition:	country
  Synonyms:	body politic, colony, commonwealth, community, democracy, domain, dominion, empire, kingdom, land, monarchy, people, populace, population, principality, public, race, realm, republic, society, sovereignty, state, tribe

  Tongue:

  Entry:	Tongue
  Part of Speech:	noun
  Definition:	language
  Synonyms:	argot, articulation, dialect, discourse, expression, idiom, language, lingo, parlance, patois, speech, talk, utterance, vernacular, voice

  Using the JW Bible "The New World Translation of the Hole Scriptures" (en shit)

  Says in Revelation 7:9.....After these things I saw, and, look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands.

  Wouldn't Tribe, Nation and, Tongue mean everyone? Every person from every religion? It doesn't make sense to me. What do you think?

  are there any?

  to restate: when is comes to being friends with someone, are you "obligated" to do certain things?

  Well when you do feel an obligation just do what I do.

  Say "Oh I wished I could but, I really don't want to!"

  They think about it and get the picture. It's funny but, its gets it right to the point!

  Hilarious rumours!!!

  by gerbils in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when my father stepped down from being an elder in the congregation, due to him wanting to spend more time with the family, a lot of people were very curious as to why he did.

  the shocking rumour started going around as to the reason why- my dad had been caught having gay sex in a car with another brother, and they were caught in the act by a pioneer sister in the congregation!.

  on hearing the gossip dad actually couldn't speak for a whole 1/2 hour!

  I couldn't wear certain things.

  The elders kept saying that I was wearing things that may cause a stir. I had Big Boobs what hell do I do tape them down?
