  i have been to memphis, tn for breakfast on the way to tulsa, ok from georgia more than few years ago, someone would like for me to move to memphis, but i did not find memphis very appealing at all.

  is there anything good about memphis?

  i might reconsider, but for now, i am not so sure..

  MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS DIED

  by Mary in

  this is one post i had always hoped i would never have to do, but after a long and brave battle, my beloved brother in law has died.

  i have done a couple of threads on this in the past, so many of you know the battles he was facing.

  he had been diagnosed earlier this year with myelodysplastic syndrome and the mortality rate of this disease is quite high.

  i left my husband at the end of june.

  we were having a lot of issues in our marriage that i tried to talk about and he refused to see or even acknowledge.

  My life ... and how JWD came to be - Part 5

  my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".

  i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.

  it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.

  i have been lurking on jwd for years and not posted much, but i have always enjoyed keeping up with you all.

  some of your experiences are heartrending, your comments priceless.. a friend (still a jw, unfortunately) sent me a picture of some church sign that said "jws are right!".

  (i tried to paste a copy here, but could not figure out how to do so.

  for those of you who are interested, the project i've been working on for the last few months is finally finished.

  i originally did a thread about it back in april: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/156497/1.ashx.

  it seems that alot of us still have family members in the religion and have not infrequent arguments with them about some of the beliefs and practices.

  J-Dubs and hypocrisy.

  by corproal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i went to reno for father's day week-end and stayed at the grand sierra resort (formerly know as reno hilton or the mgm grand many years ago) and i happen to decided to head downstairs to do a little bowling and lo and behold i saw all of these men and women walking back and forth in ill fitting suits and dresses and was wondering what was going on.

  i decided to investigate and found out they were having a conventian at the hotel and casino.

  i though it a bit hypocritical for them to have the convention at this place so i went over and asked a guy who looked as if he were an elder and asked him why out of all places they decided to have a convention at a casino.his answer was there was no ther space available for that particular week-end .i know this to be an all out lie.the convention center is down the street a few miles and i inquired about availability and was told that there was space but the group that originally requested ,decided to go elsewhere.. so my question is doesn't this sound a bit weird?you should have seen how miserable the teenagers were having to sit through hours of boredom.. by the way i'm not a witness,my wife was ,but decided not to go back after being disfellowshipped for the last 15 years..

  wt 8/15/03: Easing Nature - Is it for Christians?

  by Scully in

  easing nature is it for christians?

  easing nature the very phrase itself brings to mind the odious product of this activity.

  yet, many people have the understanding that this natural bodily function is a practice in which true christians may engage.
