  YOUR DAILY JOURNAL

  by compound complex in

  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  I never seem to be able to do just ONE thing at a time, always have several things on the go. Right now I'm in the process of dismantling my 55 gal long aquarium for a 75 gal tall. So, of course I need to re arrange the furniture. Move the couch, this chair, that chair, this table, arrrrgggghhhh I have no idea what I want!! I have to get it all sorted out because once I get the sand and gravel and water in the new aquarium, there is no moving it!

  Plus I have a few other things on the go at the same time.

  I'm going up to the cabin tomorrow evening for some rest.

  What's the Deal with Bethel?

  by Random80sKitten in

  i'm not a jw, never have been.. my friend described bethel as a place where one can be trained up in a trade and help with the printing of wts literature.

  he described it as a self sufficient home where many witnesses aspire to go because you're only arpund other followers and it doses you up good on spirituality.

  but then i read about it online and apparently there's bells ringing and quick meals and it's really hard work and it sounded somewhat like an institution?!?!

  The Orgasmic Year

  by JK666 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just thought of that as a title as i reviewed a post of mine from about a year ago.. at that point, i had less then 200 posts.

  i was going through quite a lot of turmoil in my private life, and received a lot of help and support from members of this forum.

  4400 posts in a years time is probably a bit excessive, but it was what i needed at the time.

  I can never thank you enough for the listening ear you gave me several time, even when you were dealing with your own problems. You have my number and can call anytime. I hope we can get together again sometime.

  Well, do people that are under surveillance even know they are? If some one is being watched by the state, they are probably involved with some shady business or something, not usually the type of people tha a JW would associate with in the first place.

  I am new

  i am new to this group, but am in a few others for exjw's.

  my parents were not the best people, and when my witness sister offered me a 'safe haven' i thought it was a blessing.

  little did i know how much that choice would hurt me over the years.

  My mom is dying of lung cancer

  by ldrnomo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  but thank god because at least she won't have to be destroyed at armeggedon because she is not a jehovah's witness.

  she was a catholic all her life and is very devoted to her god and jesus she is 85 and smoked up until 1981 so her death won't be the most pleasent but hospice is doing a wonderful job at making her last few months comfortable.

  i'm so glad i don't buy into all the crap the watchtower bible and tract society teaches.
