when you used to go in the field service, did you go out to have 2 more hours on your report, or did you really want to save somebody's life by preaching a message of salvation ?
I really wanted to save a persons life. When I didn't get back on my return visits, I would get worried that I was going to lose them.
I didn't care if they were "studies". I just wanted to help them learn the truth.
And ya know, a lot of times I lost track of my time, so more often than not, because I didn't want to put more on there than what I had, I would overly deduct to try to balance it out.
(I know I'm such a nerd)
dear friends,.
apart from being thankful for friends, family and all the higher-minded stuff, what of the meal itself do you like best?.
i'm going to a restaurant with friends and hope to sneak into the kitchen for some crispy, crunchy turkey skin!.
Then I am weird too because I LOVE cooking. To the point of considering it a hobby!
Yeah! Exactly. And around here, I don't get to cook some of the things I really love to cook because my hubby and I don't share much of the same tastes in the culinary part of life.
So, this was a treat today!
Boy, if we would have had his family over, I would have done the hor deuves (spelling) and whatnot. Lol.

I know what my least favorite part is:
cleaning up
My favorite part:
Possibly the sweet potato casserole.
OR the cooking part. I know I'm weird. I enjoy cooking.

Ugh.
I thought the video was awesome. Well done and in a short time frame made some excellent points.
turkey (brined the dang thing for twenty four hours it better be good).
stuffing (yes it has actually been stuffed into the bird, or as my youngest put it...his butt .
brussel sprouts (my mother in law calls them little cabbages).
Délicieux
she wouldn't watch it... i told her all about it, and she of course started defending it before i was even finished.
then we got into a long discussion, which was pretty one-sided, her telling me why the wts has the 'truth'.
i told her all my concerns, and tried asking the 'if the wts is god's one and only 'channel' to earth, why all the changes in doctrine' question, and she of course gave me the 'light gets brighter' bs answer.
What gets me about this scenario (not much different from mine)
So the great and almighty Jehovah is going to slaughter the kids? And what purpose does this serve anyway? How is that loving? And who said that our family had an "IN" anyway? I thought God was suppose to read hearts hmmm? I remember hearing about how just because a person was a JW didn't mean that they were going to be in the paradise. So, who said our parents, family etc are going to be making through the Big A?
Just a little too judgmental for my taste.
I am really sorry about this Elyse. It hurts, I know.

what's on your menu?
hello all, and happy thanksgiving wherever you are !
i know other people started threads on this, but you know me, mr. analyze this, analyze that , what do you guys feel personally thankful for in this time in your life ?
lots to be thankful for , to be sure.
I'm thankful for my husband.
I'm thankful for my children.
I'm thankful for my friend B.
I'm thankful for my mother in law.
I'm thankful for many people here who have been there for me and my family in the last few months.
I'm thankful for my family that I have gained since leaving.
I'm thankful for having a roof over my head and food on the table.
I'm thankful for my pooch Buster and my kitty.
I'm thankful for living in a nation where I can wake up each morning and not be terrified to walk out to my car.
I'm thankful for people who have paved the way before me so that the road I tread now is not so tough. Thank you to many here and those who do not post here, but have made it a hell of a lot easier for me to be an EXJW.
so the big "national " news release has come and gone.
it was huge in that this time it definitely hit the ears and eyes of witnesses as well as others who know witnesses, or have relatives who are in it .
on a " national " scale this is a lot of people.
My witness family is beyond help. They know very very well about the child abuse problems in the Society and have blatantly looked the other way.
NOW
If Dateline or NightlyNews did a story about embezzling funds (or whatever) that might grab their attention.
