  My response to WalMart
  
  Sirs,
  It has come to my attention that Jehovah's Witnesses were permitted to peddle their cult message in front of a WalMart in Evansville, Indiana. This is rather disturbing to me, a WalMart customer. This cult hides known pedophiles, even allowing them to knock on doors where children may be present. This cult also practices extreme shunning of former members, whereby no contact is to be made with individuals who leave – including close family members.
  I am confident that you were not aware of this practice or would not have permitted this to take place in front of one of your stores.
  
  Thank you for your time,

  well maybe i am too naive but i still believe that we havent done anything wrong yet

  Dude, you just answered your own question! This is between you,the girl and God. It's no one else business.... ..and as of now, it sounds to me like your conscience isn't bothering you. Don't let someone tell you it does! Don't beat yourself up for being human!

  Just be smart about your actions if you choose to take the relationship further.... You don't want someone getting hurt.

  Are you at peace with God?

  by telling us that we shall be destroyed at armageddon, and that we live a life that god doesn't approve of, the jw's are trying to make us believe that we are at odds with god.. were they successful?

  Yes, I feel I am at peace with God.

  Surprisingly, It didn't take long after leaving the religion to loose the feeling of "guilt". I think I am closer to him now that I ever was, I think it's because I am worshiping him on my own terms now....

  I contacted my Elder father and mom...

  by White Waves in

  after 8 mos of shunning acknowledged by familia and friends, i contacted my elder dad - mike, and he put my mommy on the phone for support - she was never the touchy feely type - more the depressed secluded type.

  i wanted to know if my dad had any reason why i shouldn't send my official da letter to 2 congregations and parishioners (since my first request was denied).

  he told me they then could have no contact with me, instead of limited contact.... i told them my jw family has had no contact with me since october and i did not even receive an invite to my baby sister's wedding in december- who i raised and cared for for 3 1/2 years while my mother was in a depression and had health problems.

  Isn't it strange...the weird things this religion cult makes people do. Including yourself.

  Hope everything works out for you and David. Sometimes, its tough to know what to do. Hang in there!!

  See you at the "fest"!!!!!

  How long is Armaggeddon suppose to last? Is it going to last many years?

  by booker-t in

  is armaggeddon going to last many, many years or is it going to be quick, fast and over with in a matter of months?

  i know the bible does not say specifically but if you were to guess what would you guess on the amount of time for armaggeddon to last?

  jehovah and jesus have enough power to destroy the world in minutes.

  After the pouring out of God's "bowls of anger" in Cedar Point, Ohio - Armaggeddon took place in Lyle, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) 7 years later. It lasted 12 days.

  Very few people alive today remember that great event.

  im just wondering about what people of different are doing to stay healthy.

  I too am into working out. I take a kick boxing class 3 days a week and then the other 2 I have a spinning class....It really does help with stress and your overall wellness. However I usually am too busy on weekends to do much, other than take a walk....

  I'm still trying to eat more healthy, but it all takes time and patience..... it's about changing your whole life style.

  Im also tanning, it does have many health benefits besides the look

  Ummm, I recommend doing some more research on the subject of tanning and using tanning beds. I'm not saying I don't think it looks really good to have a tan, but the side affects surely out number the benefits!! I used to use tanning beds, but after seeing what it can do to your skin ( wrinkels, age spots, CANCER) I stopped. I've now resorted to using "fake" tanning lotion products..... if you find a good one, it works wonders and looks really natural!

  regardless of how you feel about jehovah's organization--the true religion, one thing for sure, you will not escape the almighty jehovah's judgement right along with satan the devil and his destructive organization.

  how will you save yourself and those who follow you...?

  it's ashame that your energies could not be put to a more positive use.

  High School Prom

  greetings folks - it's been a while since i posted anything.

  the other day i was talking to my daughter about her prom - dress, limo, etc....and it dawned on me that i never went to my prom.

  obviously being a jdub was a big reason why i didn't go or had any desire to go.

  No, I never attended my prom, nor any other school dance for that matter. Looking back I feel really bad for missing out on that!

  I believe the reason why JW's were counseled not to go was becasue you would be associating with "worldly" people.... and at that age you shouldn't be dating becasue you wouldn't be mature enough to get married.

  or other stupid rules for women?

  ours were contingent on the spirituality of the sister and, if she was married or an elder's wife, etc.

  then, she got more leeway.

  Ohhh ya!! I would know too, I got called in the back room every couple of months from the time I was 13 up until my husband and I left for good!!!

  Not sure why I was the one who got picked on?!?! I remember other "sisters" who would wear longer skirts, but they would be skin tight and you could see thier underware line. Just as long as it didn't hit above the knee, I guess that was okay with a pioneer/ elders daughter.

  The hall here has a brother who has major issues with spaghetti straps...and especailly if your bra straps show too!!! Hey, atleast us "sisters" were wearing bras!

  I remember being out in service one Wednesday afternoon. I had on a spaghetti strap dress ( it was the middle of summer) and an older "sister" approached me after arangements saying I should put on a sweater or the householder would get the wrong impression as to why I was at the door?! I just thanked her.... then I noticed a group of elders and their wives in the back of the hall watching this all go down...it was all planned!

  Yikes Butt.... That's nasty!!!! Yep, ticks are officially out now. My husband had a few on him this weekend too after we went fishing.

  That made me feel much better staying out there alone.

  Why were you all alone???
