that's right, today marks 4 years.
but seriously though, 4 years is a good long while!.
i can remember the day i first posted on this site... i was at the cusp of a thoroughly shattered faith, and i was in complete despair.
Four is such a charming year... no more diapers... starting pre-school... learning to say, "NO!" when you are asked to do something you don't want to do...
I'm so proud of you, Daniel-p... truly...
*sniffle*
Now... how bout some of that cake, b-day boy? :)

and then, immediately after babylon the great is destroyed, almost without a break, look at matt 24 :29 -immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.. now in what sense will the sun be destroyed and the moon not give its light?
are you ready for that?.
and you'll fall across the finish line into the new world !
What breaks my heart is that so many people have utterly wasted their lives, bound in fear to a group of idiots who think they speak for god... Makes me want to throw up...

so as not to hijack another thread, i'm going off on my rantangent here.. in the other thread i posted a 1960s wt quote about women having puny brains, being incapable of leading or making decisions, being ruled by their menstrual constitution and weak musculature.
blahbety blah blah blah.
if you want more gems, just google "watchtower quotes women" and read to your heart's content.. i got to thinking, who is this broad they quoted as a source, dr. marie n. robinson?
LMAO... sexual frigidity in women is caused by certain medical conditions... well... that and having the unfortunate experience of being stuck in holy matrimony with a man who doesn't know what the hell he is doing...

he couldnt bring the olympics to chicago but he accomplished this coveted award after only a few months in office.
somebody out there sees this man as doing what the planet needs.
perhaps.. but i for one am not as shocked as most.
That's not how Nobel prizes are awarded. Please read my post on page 1 of this thread.
I did... I disagree with you on principal. Hope that's okay with you...

I think it would have meant more if the committee had waited until he had one major accopmlishment under his belt, and I think he will get more than one... several things seem to be turning his way lately which is good. But, as has been noted in this thread, the committee has jumped the gun on the prize before... it's not the first time.

right now, the number of ex- elders (either resigned, pushed out or df'd) outnumber the present elders; what does this suggest to you?
.
Ex-Elders Outnumber Elders In My KH; what does that suggest to you?
It suggests that burn-out happens... mostly because deep down, many of them know that they are not helping people and it's not gods org...

i am sure all of you know about it by now..
What do you think about David Letterman now?
I think he is and always has been an insufferable ass. This was just an, "It figures." moment for me.

i think my previous username was "tfjw" but i had to get a new account.. .
anyway, i'm doing some research on judicial cases, how they are handled, the use of the secret "flock" book (pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock) and other related topics.
i'm trying desperately to find the quote referring to the elders where they are not to mention the governing body or the society, as it may be, in certain reports.
Why doesn't someone go into these 'instruction sessions' with a mini taperecorder? It's always puzzled me... especially since it would be legal in some states.

i fainted at work today.
doctor sent me to the hospital right away.
turns out i have a wicked kidney infection.
Holy Cow! That's awful.
I hope you feel better soon and have a full recovery.
J
i live in a very big city, there are so many stores offering winter jackets, so i would need your suggestions where to look for, thanks!.
JD,
I wouldn't if I were you... you know what happened last time and this time, I shall show no mercy!
