  Well done! Such strong meaning behind your lyrics. Due you have the music to go along with it? perhaps some of our resident composers might be able to do something about this

  i just took my mum home with her shopping, and she gave me a letter from a sister in my old kh.

  the sister was one of my best friends for years, and one of the few people outside the elders who i told i was about to da, and why.

  she knows i have moved recently, but doesn't know my new address, so she dropped this letter at my mums this morning:.

  So much for my fade

  by LeftBehind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've always known deep down that i would not be able to fade because well my family would not let me and were keeping such close tabs on me i was bound to be found out sooner or later.

  that day has finally come.

  i was "caught" associating with my apostate brother.

  Left Behind I'm sorry to hear it. You've been through a complete 180 since you first posted on this board. I am happy that you have your brother by your side but its so sad to hear about the treatment from the rest of the family.

  Hang in there pet.

  today i must say good-bye to a friend i have known for 14 years.

  sylvester was only four months old when he and his brother scout moved in with me - a dog person - and my australian shephard.

  the kittens were supposed to be pets for the 10-year-old.

  ((((Denise)))) It sounds like Sylvester has a broken heart. I'm so sorry. I can see how much you love your pet and how much it pains you to see him suffering. There are so many important stages of your life that Sylvester has been there for and I know this must be cutting you up.

  Just hang in there darlin. If it gets bad don't be afraid to sing out to your friends here...

  reading hellriders topic made me wonder about this.. i waited till i was 21 because i was drinking alcohol as a youth and didn't want to get baptized while breaking the law.

  man that is screwed up, seemed reasonable at the time.

  Excommunication is good!!!!

  by I-follow-the-narrow-path in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while talking to my teacher today we talked about excommunication.

  i told her i thought it was mean to not talk to those members which have been excommunicated.

  she told me; however, that those who leave the church should be punished.

  Did your KH have a minimum skirt length, max heel height,

  by White Waves in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  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.

  I never was counselled for the lengths of my skirts or heights of my heels. HOWEVER... I was called into the 'doom room' (as we liked to call it) once. It seemed that the elders felt I should be wearing very loose tops/dresses. One of the othere elders had been getting, and I quote, 'distracted by your breasts'. This same elder who had cheated on his wife with a regular pioneer. And I was the one who was at fault. Ha.

  Ive figured out our need for religion...

  by theinfamousone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  or at least i have a good theory as to why we like to think there is a god who cares about us and why we follow his "guidelines" and rules and then go to his churches and follow his religions.... i think our major problem as living breathing entities is that we like to believe the world revolves around us.

  no matter how unselfish we think we are, we still do not want to think of a time when we are not around... we do not want to think of being forgotten, we do not even want to think of dying... right?

  so we invent a god, who cares and who stretches his hands out to us so that we can one day be remembered by him, and be saved by him, either by reincarnation, heaven, new world, and the list goes on... we are all afraid of nothingness, so we use religion to console our fear and to be able to think that we will never be nothing.... what do you think???.
