well it wont be long now till i no longer have to put up with this riddicule, i somtimes ask myself why is it that people have to have a go at somthing somone posts, instead of just reading it and moving on, ive been watching brown boy's posting on this page http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/67918/8.ashx which i thought was interesting.
brown boy is saying the same year though a different month and if im a crazy freek he must also be a freek, i dont think he is but hes saying hes the faithful and discreet slave.
so i would like to suggest that you re open my posting and let me continue my line or show your true colours [being that if you dont like it then it aint seen] and stand your ground, or is there no such thing as free speech.
i wonder what god thinks of you lot
Well, I can only speak for myself. Would you like to know how many times I have begged to God to at least make me feel a tiny bit close to Him? Gosh, He must not think much of me, because He has ignored the countless daily prayers I have sent up over the years. Had He acknowledged just one single prayer, chances are that I wouldn't be hanging out on this board.
I am not trying to make fun of you here, just speaking my mind.
i am looking for some one to help me understand a particular issue as a jw would see it.... if a single practicing jw was to have an affair with a married person (not a jw) knowing that they were married what would come of them or how would they feel about this being brought with a strict jw background?
i am trying to understand this as i have no knowlege of this religion.
any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to the forum, unknown. You might want to hang out a bit and do some reading around here. We have some interesting topics floating around, and they will give you a better view on the JW religion.
adultery (sexual relations with a married man); after all i was a prude as an active jw.
i never thought i would do such a thing.
Exactly the same here. Sexual relations with a married man. I always considered having sex with a married man completely disgusting. Never thought I would actually willingly do that some day. It has taught me not to judge other people too harshly. Every sin has its own story.
i know so many people, not just witnesses that are on zoloft or similar drugs.
i know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them.
i know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......what about you?
I take 3 doses of Stella Artois daily.
Lol, I hadn't heard of that brand since I was in Europe. Makes me homesick, to realize that I have forgotten so much from home.
Translation for people who are not familiar with Stella Artois : Englishman said "I take 3 doses of budweisser daily".
hi iv'e been lurking around for a few weeks.

Hi JE, welcome to JWD! I am in NY as well. (Upstate). North east of Syracuse, near Old Forge.
Enjoy your time on JWD, I hope you will make some great friends here.
who still find it strange years on to dive straight into your mail meal without 'giving thanks'?
i say main meal, because dad's prayers were always considerably lengthy before a main meal, and are an institution in every jw household.
even now after a few years i'm just about ready to tuck in when i find myself saying a simple thanks under my breath.
I don't remember the last time I prayed, about or for anything. It would seem strange praying to "Jehovah" when the "Jehovah" I had been praying to would always in my mind be associated with a false religion. But it felt weird the few times I tried to pray to Jesus. So I don't know who to pray to or what to pray for. I guess I could pray for guidance, but I did that for the first 27 years of my life and only at the age of 28 did I get the guidance I was looking for. Namely, guidance out of the borg. I'm somewhat upset with God to think that he would let me linger in untruth all that time. Kind of makes me question his existence at all. Now that I think about it, the last time I prayed I said to God, "If you exist prove it to me now by striking me dead right now!" Obviously nothing happened. Another unanswered prayer. I don't recall praying since then.
Zugzwang, you are not alone. Except that I'm quite older than you are, I feel exactly the same way.

Oh, that one. The circle, right? You have to line up the colors. I had to do it twice. The first time when I lined uop the colors, nothing happened and everything got jumbled again. The second time it worked. You have to think ahead to line them up and do both, small and big circle at once. When you do one first and then the other, it won't work that way.

there are 3.78 liters per american gallon, so this would give $3.57 a us gallon..... what's the price of gas in your area?
