jws listed in a mental health directory as providing free pastoral counseling!

Since I used to be a nurse in the DFW area, I emailed them, too. After all, I (we) all have first hand experience of their "couseling" methods. I used to have to make referrals out. That is one referral I would NEVER do. If I knew how to get the DAMN quote button to operate I'd post it. )Yes, I'm getting an attitude with the "quote". It doesn't like me. It's acting like a monkey's ass. (Not yours KLS) LOL

we're awaiting the arrival of kwintestal and heart2heart as they make their long trek back home.
they'll be having dinner with us tonight.. in a couple of hours' time... and i know their computer access has been almost non-existant over the last several days.... so how about sending them a virtual hug and a big hello, which i will print out for them before they set out on their journey again!.
let's make it a nice big thread!
Hugs to all you guys. Hope your trip was good!!!
love ya-shelley
I thought this was a joke!!! When I was in and a teenager I wasn't allowed to have posters of Andy Gibbs or anyone (ok-my age shows)! It was considered "paying homage" or "worshipping". Who'd want those ugly mugs on the wall? Anything for a buck!!

absalom, a complete asshole, met an untimely death, and even though he caused untold trouble to his father, david still wept bitterly over his son, 'absalom,oh my son absalom!
" that one still gets to me.. and at the end of one of rush's more emotional songs, distant early warning (1984), geddy calls out "absalom!
absalom!
Sorry-I feel absolutely nothing about the bible or it's stories.
Now Dean Koontz on the other hand......

after reading the article in sept 1, 2005 watchtower i was again astounded at the hypocrasy.
and the question came to me - who ever told this religion or the people that started the religion they had they truth - it's a matter of opinion surely????.
how do they know it's the truth - they wouldn't be able to answer.
That's what happens when they don't take their medication.
looks like it may happen.

have you seen my mother
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Just be safe. Are you leaving the city. Let us know how you are when you can!

lets say that there is a "great tribulation" in our time, how will the average witness survive it?
first of all, they don't even know what it is, or when it will happen.
the great tribulation could be a nuclear war or anything man made.
I love the tin hat thing!!
They'll be too busy changing into their perfect outfits for the paradise so they can sit around petting lions and tigers. It'll be hard work to find all those tacky outfits!! And don't forget, they'll have to work on finding the pose that's been in the magazines for decades!!

a few weeks ago someone posted a watchtower or awake!
article about some people who where shunned by their church after they started studying with jws.. does anyone know the link to that post?.
We know the obvious now--they are bipolar, delusional, and must have an IQ below 30 to be able to print those stories. Talk about being grandiose!!!
After seeing that thread that had ages and pics-- maybe alzhemiers and dementia really have set in. With so many GB now that old, the odds of alzhiemer's and/or dementia are way up there. There's no way that some of them haven't been affected. They'll never let the general population know. But think about how many elderly are affected with memory problems that aren't even that old. No wonder a couple more were added.

i'm not going to answer this email from my dad.
he didn't listen the umpteen times i responded to his questions before - i'm not putting myself through that again.
i too thought about these things.
Want to really freak him out??!! I have a wiccan email address. I"d be glad to forward anything to him. Just a thought. I'll keep him in my meditations!

hey, it was in the weekly world news so it has to be true.
I know here there's a noise ordinance. I'll have to get the paintball gun loaded, maybe fill up some waterballoons and let the neighborhood kids have some fun. This is just too unreal, toooo dumb! I can't imagine any neighborhood that wouldn't chase them out on their asses. The little "hick" town I grew up in up north will chase them out with guns blazing!!!
