Where did Jesus say "I will love you as long as you make all the meetings?" In fact, where in the bible does it say that 'Chrisitians' must attend 5 meetings a week?

I actually found happiness as a witness! There was a phrase at one circuit assembly "never let anyone rob you of your joy". I began to work on that immediately! Little did I know that while I was eliminating toxic people and situations from my life I would eventually come around to the governing boobies! They did everything they could to ensure that I couln't be happy there ... so I left.
Now, my happiness is dependent on being grateful for what I have, where I am and who I am. A man cannot MAKE me happy but he may certainly make me UNHAPPY! I don't allow that. I have to watch my expectations though ... sometimes expecting to be this or have that can cause undue anxiety and lead to bad decisions.
For me, happiness is being content in the moment.

noah's ark
by kittyeatzjdubs ini watched a tv show last night on tlc.
it was talking about noah's ark and all that stuff.
the thing that stuck out in my mind and made me laugh out loud was this....they interviewed many scientist and they all said the same thing, ''there is no natural evidence that a wordly flood ever took place.''.

Life-threatening blind fanaticism
by Grace inin the aftermath of yesterday's london tragedy, the radio stations were rife with those calling in and talking about some religious fanatics on the other side of the world.
the radio commentator himself talked about how barber shops in baghdad were being bombed and barbers were having their lives threatened (or taken) because of one religion's decrees that hair should not be cut.
the commentary kept asking how do we negotiate with people like this?.

Great post Grace. And I agree with you tetrapod - the fact that some world leaders (ahem ... bush) claim to believe in God must ease their consciences as they run ripshod over the planet ravaging it's precious resources in a race to .... where? If all this LAST DAYS talk would cease and mankind actually took responsibility for the survival of the species then advancements would come much quicker and life expectancy would increase. Think of all that could be accomplished if the stem cell issue and cloning were debated without godspeak.

First time on here- DF'd almost 3 years ago
by feelinglost ini have toyed around with the idea of finding fellow df'd ones for about a year now.
i recently got married, and of course it has made me look at how it feels like i gave up one life for another.
the only member of my family who is a jw is my mother- and it kills me that we pretty much no longer have a relationship.

Welcome feelinglost ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Don't worry about whether or not you feel like anybody else. For many the hardest thing after leaving the dubs is learning to BE YOURSELF! - Minus the self-imposed 'new personality ' , robotic nature of being a witness.
Come here often, read, post, heal, grow . Most of all ... take your time. Recovery is a process.

Whacked on the nip ...
by talesin inwell, i introduced the kitten to catnip today ... lol!
she is too cute, except when she lands on my back with all four paws, claws out, to get my attention ... ouch!.
it just makes me wonder .. why is it okay to get our pets stoned, and not ourselves?.

sweet tee
Because the pharmacutical (sp?) companies can't get your little kittle to buy the next bestest thing to make her feel better.

Funny, the WTBTS are always comparing themselves favoribly to Christendom. But the r&f witlesses never check to see whether it is true. The when the question arises 'whom shall we go away to?', they are terrified of turning to any mainstream religion for their spiritual food .
Good post.
