  do you think that the better the job that you have or the higher the social standing you have, makes it more likely that you will be an elder in comparison to those that are less fortunate???

  quite a few elders in my old kh even had their own private car plates.. chukky

  Help Finding a Book

  by rwagoner in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am trying to find a copy of the old pink "paradise book".

  i remember having one as a kid growing up and seeing some of the pictures in it.

  i can't help but think that some of those images started the fear and guilt in me as a child and would like to show my wife (a non jw) so she might better understand how i could have stayed in as long as i did.. she hears me talk now and can't imagine how i could have believed such a pile of bunk or how my parents still can't see how totally crazy some of the "truth" sounds.

  i've been here on maui for about 7 months now, to start life over after my ordeal on the mainland with the dubbies.

  and for the most part it's been good...... until last month when my employer announced bankruptcy.

  so i am out of work for now, but and i am starting my own business again.

  Hate leaving my family behind.

  by Big Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after lurking about for a while i finally decided to join the board.

  i have never done anything like this and was amazed at how stressful it was to sign up and press the return key to join up and actually post something.

  just a quick bio: 41 year old lawyer who was raised a jw but had the good sense to never get baptized.

  i remember this guy once, after the book study (the one where you go to someone's house to study a book) boasting on this house he wanted to buy!

  he was showing off so much!

  april 19 is the seventh anniversary of the bombing of the murrah federal building in oklahoma city.in the light of the more recent tragedies in new york city and washington,d.c.,this is just a reminder that the survivors of this tragedy are still recovering,and still mourning the loss of their loved ones.please,take a moment to remember them in your thoughts.. if you ever have the opportunity to visit the okc national memorial,please do so...you will come away with a whole new appreciation for life,and how truly fragile it is.. .

  always,.
