  Introducing myself

  by bitca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been lurking here for a while, so i figured it's time for me to introduce myself.

  i was raised in "the truth".

  both of my parents were witnesses, and so were their parents.

  today, i was talking to a close family member....he owns many stores of a business...he was telling me about a huge deal going down for him, in his favor.

  he is an elder.

  a lot of brothers work for him.

  im inclined to agree with frog.

  i remember when i moved from one part of aussie to this part,and only being baptised a few months, was still very zealous, to pioneer, what a joke that was. i finished my job up, came here to clean windows and pioneer, with 3 young children,within 6 months we were practically destitute.

  one sat afternoon i prayed to god to help,hence a phone call from another business man offering me work cleaning windows on a regular basis, it saved us from then on our business just went ahead.

  im not saying it was the power of prayer, it may have had something to do with the little ad i had in a free paper, thats where he got my phone no. from.

  who is the person most associated with faith by the major three monotheistic religions?

  answer: abraham.

  why is he considered so?

  terry, exellent reasoning,

  i would think though that the jws would argue that the angel was directed by jeh himself while men, govts, superior authorities or not are only standing in to try to keep a little control.

  lehaa, thanks for sharing your thoughts, it must be very painful, however you are already moving on ahead by the sounds of it.

  you have some good friends so enjoy them as much as possible and that will help to fill the void.

  yep that's right.... the baby boy is here!

  we went for a no-stess and fluid test yesterday, and as luck would have it, there was stress and no fluid.

  dawn, sometimes you dont know whether to laugh or feel sorry for these robotic people as they are only obeying their masters instructions. f.d.s.yeah!

  i havent been to a meet in a year now just fading slowly, i havent been df or das, just fading.

  while in a hardware store with my son recently we saw a m.s. from the cong. my son who is not a jw said hi! to him, the m.s. said hi! back, i said hi m......... (name del) he turned away and walked back the way he came so as to avoid us, my son said whats his problem? i said hes not allowed to think for himself.

  point is i dont know whether to laugh or feel pity for these ones.

  you have a great day and dont let them drag you down. mr.alw.
