  A Pivotal Date: March 20

  i am just giggling myself inside out with the stupid antics regarding the march 20 release of the new org book.. of course, in great irony, only the apostates seem to know what's going on.. meanwhile in the congregations, a excitment tinged with mystery and suspense is tweaking the r&f.

  my entire book study was just about begging the conductor for any hint.. to emphasize the surprise, congregations that meet on saturday (march 19) are actually moving their public/wt meetings to sunday just for the event.

  just imagine the drool letdown when they find out the truth, that old br.

  I had just finished working a big weekend sale at a furniture store I worked at over Memorial Day weekend I believe. I was exhausted and fired up. The sale was a huge success. I was to meet a friend for supper about 15 miles from town on an old country highway. Hilly, windy and curvey.

  I was cruising. Enjoying the sun and the windows open in the car.........listening to the radio. You know................Freedom! About 8 miles from town .......blue lights are coming behind me. Crap........I pull over and he says...........Do you know you were speeding? UMMMMMMMmmmm No Sir. I smiled real pretty........oh and I had on a nice sundress. Hair still damp from shower.

  He asked, "Do you know how fast you were going?" No sir, How fast? You were going 110. I have been following you for 7 miles......took that long to catch up to you. (yikes)

  Ok, ..................He asked........Whatever made you drive that fast? I says......I was just watching the Indianapolis 500 and I guess I was thinking of racing. He said Well, the way you were driving you could have won it!!!!! I said.......Oh, I am sorry.

  He said the speed limit is 55, for going double the speed limit, I can automatically put you in jail.

  OH SHIT, I says to meself.

  He talked to me.......asked me about my family life and kids, job

  He reasoned with me...............and let me go.......It took about 45 minutes. He said I am gona get in big trouble for letting you go. I kissed him on the cheek and said thanks.....He said now I am really gonna be in big trouble.

  You know, I got one other speeding ticket after that. Prior to that ....I don't know how many speeding tickets. I slowed down, thinking of the concern he had for me and if something should happen to me concerning my kids.

  Thanks for asking, it was fun to think back.

  there's a lot of new ones here and they might not be familiar with the fact that not everyone is truthful or necessarily looking out for your best interests.....is there any thing a "newbie" or for that matter any of us should keep in mind while on the internet?

  When I was first studying .......I was told God search me out. Gathered me to him. Today I was thinking, if God has searched out his people, Why did he draw out the wackos?

  and when they say they keep knocking on the same doors in case peoples circumstances have changed. They are looking for something in that persons life so they can build them up. So why search out weak ones? A weak one that can be easily influenced. That will believe the garbage. No one that is skipety do da happy will stop to learn the truth. But that does not mean they don't love God and humankind.

  Many men are coming back from Iraq to Arkansas. I work with alot of women that have waited on thier husbands or boyfriends returning. I was thinking how the love for thier spouses have lasted over the time(most are gone for 18mos) They don't see each other. Remain faithful.

  And how we are led to believe that loss of meeting attendance will deminish our love and relationship with Jehovah. I felt very insulted and angry at this thought. I remember someone asking me how do you know you won't lose the love? I said, Just as I know I won't murder someone. I don't need daily reminders to not commit murder. (well, with roadrage lately Maybe)

  I am not with direction and goals as I once was. I have retreated in this fight for life. And regrouping, rethinking and reorganizing. Some of the greatest wars won had lost many battles.

  Thats my thoughts and I'm sticking to it.

  I think to myself ?that must be like a .22 or .38 they shot me with.?

  your not supposed to think

  and maybe the bullit staying and not exiting means......you will forever be scarred from the truth. It is deep inside you. like a reminder.

  muuuuuuuuhahahaha!

  In your rmind you already are done with the truth, but you are still on the fence. Thinking of your responsiblities to your family and whatever other reasons you are still IN. So that is painful.

  the elders shooting you with a bullit that is only wounding you ......not killing you. What can man do to you?

  I thought I was going to die too but enough time went by that I realized it was not a mortal wound.

  leaving the org is not going to kill you..........maybe you are wrestling with that.

  In fact (somehow) I deduced that they purposefully shot in such a way so as to miss any vital organs, so I wouldn?t die.

  someone or something has saved you from death.

  go to hyperdictionary.com .......under dreams......maybe that will help.

  I don't have a clue, but it was fun trying.
