  my wife was at the meeting last night, ... and she told me this morning that an announcement was made that.

  one of the elders decided to step aside.

  he was so hard core it made me sick.

  (emotional music swelling in background) good-by hostas, roses, coneflowers and daisies.

  farewell astilbe, vinca, hops, black-eyed susans.

  adieu to sweet potato vines, ferns, day lilies and cat mint.

  Usually keep my plants on the fire escape where the sun shines brightly in the afternoon and they relax in the nice fresh air. Had to bring them in a couple of days ago....dang I must be getting old because I was bundled up this morning on my way to work. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. and it's not anywhere near 0 yet.

  Brotherly Affection – fondness, affection for our brothers even though we know/see their weaknesses/faults.
  We must not look at their flaws, but rather view them as Jehovah does, and be ready to die for them.
  Love – for Jehovah and for our bro&sis. We must make peace with our b&s and bury any problems in an
  unmarked grave!

  Must be lots of problems between Jehovah's loving people.

  Seems like one day you'll walk into a KH and find yourself in the middle of a huge "bar fight". Now, wouldn't that finally be the "truth"!

  Should I DA myself or not?

  by Mrs Smith in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is my first post, some of you have read my hubby's story - agent smith - anyway i was just wondering if i should write a letter to disassociate myself or just leave things as they are.

  i have not been to meetings for about 8yrs but have only just come to realize what a load of rubbish the jw's teach.

  now that i have read "crisis of conscience" i have no doubt that jw's are corrupt.

  Mrs. Smith (Welcome to the board)

  I think your decision to leave things as they are is a wise one. Your pioneer mom is just reacting to what she has had implanted in her mind. Be nicer and kinder to her than ever that will get her to thinking.

  Trying to install 95 WT Library & Need Help

  by cabasilas in

  2. bible

  i recently obtained the 1995 wt library cd-rom and have been trying to get it to work.

  it took a few attempts to get it to install but i keep on getting an abormal program termination when i try to use it.

  i figure there are configuration issues since it's so old.

  cabasilas,

  Pretty sure 95WT Lib. is not compatable with XP. If you have enough hard drive you can add windows 98 or Me as a second operating system. Just a thought.

  Welcome RandomD,

  Your husband is hanging on to things he was taught. Try reasoning with him if he's willing to listen. Your kids are missing out, and that's a sad thing. As for those who turned their backs on you because you were wise enough not to get baptized.....well what kind of real friends would do that? They kicked you to the curb....welcome to the curb we've been waiting for you with open arms.

  The Right Heart Condition

  by purplesofa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok, i'm on a roll.. were you all told that only people with the right heart condition would understand the scriptures?.

  and, did you constantly feel like you did not have the right heart condition?.

  i just sorta gave up as my heart was not going to be manipulated anymore.. so, sometimes i kinda feel like i have a defective heart.. i don't know why this song comes to mind............it just did.. .

  Hearing that phrase, "Only those with the right heart condidtion......" always broke me up. Especially hearing it from people who had no idea of what a heart was. I've never dealt with a group of people who, as a whole, were so un-loving as to twist the scriptures to their own benefit and condem everyone else. It was as if everytime they were told to, "Open your bibles and turn to....", they would see a bright light flash out from their personal copies and envelope only them.

  I would suggest to try to continue the friendship if your friend is willing as long as it is away from her home. Her husband is being domineering. Your JW friend may try to draw you into the religion so be aware of that. On the other hand your friendship might be something that will help her more than you realize.
