this, my day's long and arduous journey, is winding down as infinite night gracefully descends and takes me into her welcomed embrace.. i have no reason to fear the inevitable, my transition into a higher and more glorious estate than was allowed me upon this beautiful but angst-filled habitation.. what must be borne with calm, with dignity, with rejoicing, has been prepared for me from earliest times.
its accomplishment requires nothing of me .

My husband had a heart attack and recovery was slow. Depression always seems to follow and makes it challenging but he recovered and is doing much better. I pray that for you too.
Even though you are speaking to us via the computer , it feels as though we are sitting down with a cup of tea. You have such a gift to reach people. I hope we can be of support to you too.
sorry, i messed up before i could put the right title on this new light from our circuit overseer, his visit show's a great desperation in the organization's mindset, adding more anxiety and guilt to jws who already feel they don't measure up!.
hi, i attended the circuit overseers visit and got really angry because our c.o.
gave information coming from the governing body's chief apologists regarding "meeting attendance" and "the couple who missed one meeting and lost their entire family because they did not get the "411" when armageddon was coming!
Someone said it felt like they were really cracking down meeting attendance. Not really, I have been a jws since the 50's and have heard all this and more many times. They sort of go through revival type spells- like other religions do. This reminds me of Neil Diamonds song " Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show" . Anyone who has lived in the south and ever been to a revival tent meeting can tell you those preachers can really breathe fire and brimstone.

this incident in paris makes me feel absolutely furious.
yes i feel desperately sorry for the victims and their families no one should have to deal with that.
the thing that makes me feel absolutely incandescent though is the attack on freedom of speech and expression.
Islam has rights but they don't get to kill people who don't agree with them or even make fun of them. . THAT is the line.
Think how SNL, South park, and a host of comedians ( Carlin) have made fun of religion. Tim Minchin comes to mind.
i suspect it is valid but i really want confirmation before i click those 3 steps.
there's actually nothing on that screen that says it has anything to do with jwn -- therefore my caution.. len.
I got that too and downloaded 307 items that Malwarebytes said were PUP's. It was Mindspark. It has to do with something called Acebox. You do not need it. It was not as easy as I thought getting off my machine. I had to run MWB 2x in safe mode and run Combofix to finally get the C*rap off my machine. I think it also allowed some other rouge stuff on my machine. I keep MWB on and will never make that stupid mistake again.
It did look very legitimate however.

how is your family handling you not attending meeting and all that? Surely someone has noticed by now?

the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).
before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.
first, the reason i think it should be shown:.
I still think there is more potential harm from people being dishonest about who and where they are than there is from anyone having their identity revealed by a country location
I agree with you but still think we should be able to opt out.

the default icon could be anything, does not have to be skull and crossbones. That seems so scary. How about something pleasant. Maybe vote on options? or just pick something generic that we will all recognize that is not scary. a world globe or an earth pic?

SAY WHAT Kate? Did you just go through bohm posting history and drag out something and post it for all to see? Cause if you did, that is way tacky or perhaps threatening is the word I am looking for .
