Armageddon Should Arrive This Year.
by Englishman in1975 came and went and nothing happened.
ah...but then!
when 1975 was looking close some bright spark reminded us that god's last act of creation was when eve was given to adam, so that time delay needed to be added to 1975 before armageddon became due.

How do I know when it's love....
by DanTheMan ini don't post a lot about my personal life here anymore but i have a situation that i'd like some feedback on.. i have been dating a for about 5 months.
she is a university professor, originally from madrid spain, speaks 3 languages, quite an interesting and intelligent lady.
however, i have also come to find that she is very insecure and somewhat childish emotionally.. she has brought up marriage several times, and i have tried to keep her at bay on this subject, as i just don't know if the relationship has that kind of feeling or not.. the problem is, i don't know what that feeling is supposed to be.

She sounds like she needs a therapist, not a husband.
I hate to sounds so simplistic, but my mantra is "YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU KNOW" You absolutely know you're in love with the right person when it happens. You no longer have those nagging doubts, questions, and lingering what if's?... You truly know inside your head, heart, and soul that you want to be with this person. BUT it also feels good. It's healthy, you enjoy spending time together, you become best friends.
Nothing about being in love includes one person who may or may not be suicidal, it also shouldn't include someone who is toxic and crying every day. Love isn't supposed to be a soap opera mess, it's supposed to be healthy, beneficial to your emotional well being, and cause you to experience joy and happiness.
I'm sorry to say, walk away from this one while you still can. I hope someone comes along that fits you.

Relationship/Life Pressure
by JW83 indoes anyone else here feel that they have to be 'perfect' & have a great life & never make any mistakes now they are not a jw, just to prove to all the jws that they made the right decision?
or am i the only one?

The only thing I felt like I had to prove is that I was HAPPY.
I remember always hearing how everyone that leaves is miserable and unhappy and of course failures. I just wanted to be happy. Turned out that I married well, have a beautiful house, nice life, nice job, great friends. It all ended up coming, the whole package. Am I personally perfect? Hell no, but that's what makes life so interesting. Do I think my life is perfect? Yup, it's perfectly perfect even with all the imperfections.
I'm happy. I passed my own test.
I do feel like if you measured my life against some of my friends growing up, I would come out looking better, but I wouldn't ever want to try to be superior or better than anyone else. I'll leave that up to the JWs to do.

Why should she have her feeding tube removed?
Because it was HER WISHES according to her husband who was married to her, living with her, and knew her the best. And in this country we have the right to choose our fate. If it was me, I would also choose to go peacefully rather than be hooked up for years to come.
Everyone states that parents have the rights, best wishes, etc. I know FOR SURE that if I was in this situation my mother would rant and rave about how I was a JW and would state what she believes my wishes to be, but she would be wrong. Terry might be Catholic as her parents state, but her husband probably knew her better than they did at the time. I know my mother knows very little about my current life, however my husband knows everything about me.

If she is starved to death, I fear Pandora's box has been opened.
This already happens every day in nursing homes, hospitals, hospice patients, etc. This happens every day. This case is NOT unique, nor is this the first of it's kind. There is no Pandora's box here.

Morning worship comment from Bethel
by Smoky ini received this email from a friend of a friend:.

" again, the angels make note of it.. we knock at the fifth house and again no one is home.

Because they are "well dressed and their children are well behaved" that is a crock. I was so well dressed that people literally gave us clothes because of the shoddy condition I was in. As for behavior, we have all spoken here of the endless beatings in the back of the Kingdom Hall and who remembers getting wacked in the back of the mini van that is driving around taking the pioneers and mothers with children out in service??
AS FOR THE ANGELS, if they are at every door, why does the WTS need the pioneers? Why can't the angels just do the seperating work?
This is based all on pure conjecture and speculation... in other words FANTASY. The real conversations probably go like this, "WHY are those JWs dragging their kids out on Sat morning to preach when they should be playing soccer or spending time tossing a ball back and forth? Those kids don't even get to celebrate holidays or get birthday parties. I feel so sorry for them. Those JWs are wacked."

Anyone watch the US TV show "House"?
by Nathan Natas init's a medical show, taking it's title from the name of the main character, dr. gregory house.. in last night's episode, a person with a failing liver was "connected" to a live sedated pig.
in the story, the pig's liver was supposed to perform the blood cleansing that the patient's failing liver could not.. is this based on fact?
is there such a procedure?

I think a liver is just a filter. Think about a pool filter, a water filter, a car filter. I am sure any liver would do. I have no idea, but it sounds plausible, does it happen in real life? I have no idea.
I do know that they have used pig ligaments in people, and some other parts. I know someone who had knee surgery and I think the parts were from a pig. I also think I've heard of using pig or cow veins or valves in surgeries. But like I said I don't know for sure.

But speaking of public opinion, every poll I've seen from CNN, to MSNBC, to our local newspaper here in Florida actually favor removing the tube and allowing her peace. Most opinions polls actually were against the government getting involved too.
Medicare (taxpayer money) and her husband's supplemental money $80,000 a year have supported keeping her alive for 15 years and she still hasn't spoken 1 word. Her cognitive brain function hasn't worked.
Let's keep in mind she had an eating disorder, she was starving herself and throwing up food to keep her weight down which caused her heart attack. Her body wasn't healthy when she had that heart attack. I have personally been affected by eating disorders and this case makes me want to warn more young girls that you can literally cause yourself life threatning harm or even death due to eating disorders. It's very sad.

Neighbor: "I'm so glad you left the JW organization"
by seattleniceguy inso i was out working in my yard the other day.
i've met a lot of my neighbors that i didn't know recently, because as i'm working in the yard, they stop by to chat as they're walking the dog, etc.
i'm really getting to know the neighborhood.

SNG, always love your posts man. If I were gay I'd be all over you.
Cygnus, I thought you were gay!! Man I had it all wrong. hahahaa
But back to neighborhoods and such. Our neighbors are great, always say hi, when we surived all three hurricanes this past fall everyone was out helping everyone else out. Sharing generators, sharing supplies, BBQ'ing, etc. It was wonderful.
Since I have been out I have been invited out way more than I ever was as a JW. We go over friends houses for parties, to play cards, we have a social life. It's so different than the MYTH they preach about "worldy" people. Just another lie that the flock swallow.
