The veil has been lifted from my eyes and my mouth has been cleansed of every last drop of kool-aid. Praise the Lord!
Hopefully more will see it for what it is.
once again our lurking jw friend sent us the oct. 15th jw study version for the wt studies.
in this article you'll observe the wt society really making jehovah's witnesses question themselves, doubt themselves - even if what they are observing the organization doing - they are not to doubt jehovah or the organization, but their own imperfect human judgments.
in other words : " don't trust your own mind - it's skewed ".. under the article titled, " keep on seeking first his righteousness " on pg.8 it lays the groundwork in stating, " seeking his righteousness includes trying to live according to his values, and perfect standards, not our own.

i'm sitting here working away and about half an hour ago, i felt everything start to shake.
i thought "what the heck is that?
" they're doing construction next door so i thought maybe that was it, but apparently, we just had a earthquake here in southern ontario and quebec.. anyone else feel it?.
I felt the earth move under my feet
Love Carole King! :)

why did you do it?
i have done it on several occasions.
.
Funny that I should find this thread after not being on here for many months; perhaps over a year.
I just got deleted by an active JW who didn't know that I was agnostic now. Said that it was better that he had no association w/me unless I "came back". Hmmmmm.... He found me on Facebook and I accepted him as a friend. What folly!

we had some delicious sauteed tilapia today.
i know tilapia is called st. peter's fish, but i thought this was due to their abundance in the sea of galilee where peter did most of his fishing.. i checked wikipedia and looked what i found:.
certain species of tilapia are sometimes called "st. peter's fish".

Just popped in for a minute to take a look around and see what's being talked about. Saw your thread and wanted to say, "hi".

hey snowbird Sylvia..
How are you doing? I'm real good.
Actually I prefer orange roughy to talapia because it's a firmer texture like halibut.
Take care.

right now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.
if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.
i remember the night when we had the special talk about there being a great need in the field and some would be sent out.
Good evening Gary. Well put. Amen. Juni :)
don't mean to pry, and i don't mean sexual things, but juni told me a strange story about rude "sisters" and mirrors.
hopefully she'll elaborate..until then what really goes on in that bathroom????
brzfst
Sorry folks... I'm sort of late for the party, but now I will elaborate about my experience. After 18 years, I visited a Kingdum Hall w/a bosom buddy and before we went into the inner sanctum I had to pee. So... the only one availabe was the handicap stall w/a broken door lock. I asked the "sisters" for help, but they ignored me and kept on w/their talking and mirror looking. I thought, "Well WTF? I'll just go ahead and so what if the door opens." But then my faith in humanity was restored with the help of a woman who I later realized was an old friend's "Bible student". That experience brought back memories of snooty ones and the facade of love for others. Juni :)
eighty something brother emshoff (sp), now living in las vegas, has said that the "society" has bought a house for him to live in.
this doesn't sound like the "society" that i've known for 20 years.
does anyone know if these tightwads would do something like this?
hmmmmmmmmm Bronze... Perhaps Hugh Hefner provided the bunny hutch??? Joonster
i had the last in a series of tests and scans today and the verdict is that there are no signs of recurring cancer showing up!
needless to say, the day was very long (as has been this entire week) and i am still quite tired out.....but i am so relieved and so grateful that the healing hand of my precious savior has touched me once again.
he has blessed me.. thank you all for your loving prayers and your good wishes that have been so encouraging to me along the way.
(((Sunspot Annie))) Love, Juni
hey everyone,
this past sunday i resolved to face a demon head on.
that is revisiting a kingdom hall....this after going through years of mental torment.. depression, anxiety and near suicide with years of therapy to heal the wounds of spiritual abuse.
Just got back to this thread now as I've been busy on life's highway... Thank you all for your words and a special "hi" to Nikki, Baba girl, Shell, Warlock, and Bronze. I pop in at the forum occasionally, but I don't stay long. Peace to all of you. Juni
