  Has anyone prepared for further attacks here?

  2. friends

  just wondering.. i find myself having little mini panic attacks about all this.

  now that i have a little one to be responsible for, i am a little nervous.. i am strongly fighting the urge to have my car loaded up with a weeks worth of supplies for us (ie food, gear, clothes, diapers, water) so if something happens big here - i can head out to canada.. warning (haha) be ready my canadian friends - my daughter and i may be joining you.. anyone else feeling these "survivalist" feelings?????.

  closer.

  Closer,
  I live on a military base and hear many things. I know of many soldiers who have obtained gas masks, MRE's, water and such. My point is having a gas mask, water and such does NOT help in any bio attack since a lot of bio weapons can be used without warning and the effects may take up to a week to detect, the same with water contamination you may not know until its too late. So IMO gathering these items are useless. If the attack involved a car/truck bomb you may never knew what hit you. I am not trying to scare you but the facts are that the poor people in TWC could not prepare and nor can most of the population. If you can, try to stop worring. I know panic attacks because I suffer from them and I find thinking and pondering what I can do is making it worse. Try to live your life to the fullest and hope that the enemy will be stopped before they can reek havoic on our lives.

  I can say the birth of my children and marriage are some of the happiest days.
  
  BUT I have to say finding this board and realizing I am NOT alone and there are others out there to support me and give feedback was a great day indeed.

  Thank you all for being here!

  do you remember those truly wonderful occasions when the meeting was in full swing, and something/one would make you laugh uncontrollably............so much so that you had to go out.

  you would go out and feel terribly guilty, and when you thought you were under control, you would venture back in only to find that the air was still full of laughter (on your row)..............truly wonderful meetings!!

  During the Whatchtower study one Sunday morning...... the brother on the platform was asking the usual questions, Several had their hands raised... the brother decided to let Sister Pain answer ( yes her real last name) He called on her pointing to the back of the hall and said........ Ok, Sister Pain in the rear, please answer the question. The question was never answered because everyone was laughing so hard. Yes she had a reputation of being a bit of a bitch and that made it even funnier.

  GentlyFeral,
  Given the nature of your name, AND your assumptions 'spoken like a JayDub'(Jdub) I was not going to answer. The reason I did not answer the question when first posted it assumes all JW's were never educated. When I was part of the Borg we were told not to go to school or strongly advised against it. Those who were fortunate enough to be able to attend and get an education were usually Elders children. The thread also may make some feel bad, those who were unable to get an education due to religious beliefs, time constraints and financial issues.
  Why is it that you want to know?
  Since you asked and were assuming again...'what degree do you hold'
  I will tell you.
  I hold 2 degree's one In Criminal Justice and the other in Psychology.

  I counsel women, children and men who are the victims of domestic violence, rape and pastoral crimes, i.e. molestation. I work with Military Police and Civilian law enforcement to assure my clients are protected, know their rights under law and have safe haven. I provide children with attorneys Ad Litem and work closely with Social work services. My job is time consuming as I am on call with the Authorities 24/7. Anything else oxymoron?

  Prevalence of JW Suicides - Real or Imagined?

  by AMNESIAN in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in one or two recent threads i've seen reference to the possibility of a rising number of jw suicides being another of the organization's very dark realities about which it is vigilant in keeping concealed from its pub populace.

  is there anyone reasonably informed regarding this?

  is there reason to suppose the incidence ratio among jws is any higher than among any peoples/religion?

  For Makena and Sabine,

  Do not stand at my grave and weep
  I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow.
  I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
  I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush
  I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight.
  I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry;
  I am not there. I did not die.

  Love to you both, {{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}

  So, who REALLY were/are the "Nephilim"?

  by AGuest in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  may you all have peace!.

  once again, i have received a 'writing' on my heart, which i am directed to share with any and all who will 'receive' it.. for many years, the wtbts and others have taught the "nephilim" to be the offspring of angels who had relations with the daughters of men, half-breed beings that wreaked havoc in a violent way in the earth during the days of noah, just prior to the flood.

  that, dear ones... is an error... and a lie.. by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, that is in me by means of christ, i say to you that the "nephilim"... are spirit creatures, ancient beings... 'of old'... princes from the spirit realm, the 'wicked spirit forces'... that came to the earth to 'fell' earthling man in the days of noah.. these being are those that i saw standing to the left of my father's throne, shrouded in darkness, and 'egging' on the 'battle' between to the two brilliant cherubs on the ark, the 'arkangels', which i related to you previously on h20.
