  ok ... to me it's not totally related to jw life actually, i'm here because i'm used now to chat with people (you know like you go into a cafe and share wathever you want with whoever as this board is very rich and full for immediat interaction), support them, get some support ... i just like that ... also of course it's very interesting at the same time to follow some news and get information that i might spit back to my familly in time to wake them up .... what about you ?

  to tell the truth, i am surprised that they call on me anymore since they know who i am.

  just curious as to what you all say to them now that you know what they really represent.. jean

  Celebrating my birthday...

  by Jankyn in

  hi, all.. i celebrated (yes, indeedy, right down to cake and singing) my 45th birthday on saturday, and i learned a few things in the process.. my partner, who is appalled that i never had a birthday party or presents as a child, decided to make my birthday a week-long celebration.

  each day, i had another gift--little things that she knew i'd like, like a box of almond roca, a little plastic moose (i love moose-s), and a book about natural ways to get the slugs out of my garden.

  and each day, she made up a little poem about how glad she was that i was born.

  celebrating birthdays only means you love the person, I can't see anything bad in that, and it makes such a great pleasure!!!

  I'm thinking of going back

  by Smoky in

  2. friends

  over the weekend my cousin came to visit from mi, and her husband (elder) started to do his shepperding thing with me (have not attended meetings for over 1 year), and made a compeling argument about how the holy spirit is given by god only if you attend meeting and go to field service...etc, etc.

  and the whole "faith and works" issue.

  it was a different angle that i have never heard before, about me being a "instrument or tool" of god...blah, blah, blah... anyhow, it got me thinking about going back...especially when things are not going to well for me right now... (he said its because i left jehovah).. how can i convince myself that this is not true?

  that's just the same... I'm here because I want (need also I think) to talk about JW and as Diamondblue74 said it, it's hard to talk about that with people who have never experienced that and who don't understand you...

  and I'm here because I feel at ease here!!

  OH NO....!! I gotta have an operation....

  by ScoobySnax in

  well, its like this, for the past 3 years i've had this lump on my index finger of my right hand, hasn't really bothered me, but in the last month it really swelled up and became painful.

  i reckon its a ganglion although the doctors are not sure, had it x'ray and the doctor at work says he doesn't think its anything "sinister" ....lol comforting!!.

  anyway he says that because of the proximity of it, and it being close to the digital nerve, the surgery might be tricky, i need to be refered to east grinstead hospital, which is a few miles from here, and is a plastic surgery specialist centre in the uk.

  my name is jaron, 19 years old, i'm from the netherlands, and in about a month i am going to start joining the jw's meetings and i'm kind of looking forward to become a jw.

  i can of course tell ya'll my entire spiritual story, but that would take an entire bookwork.

  in a nuttshell: my father is an ex-jw, my half-sis (from an earlier marriage from my dads) is one of those "special pioneers", and i am jewish (my mom is jewish).
