Mars went retrograde on July 30,2003 to September 28,2003. Mars is the warrior planet. He represents applied energy in your birthcharts. Mars is in Pisces right now until the end of this year. This six month stay in Pisces has not happened since July 1956 through December 1956. I mention these dates as there are older ones on here that can recognize that there may have been some life changing events back then. The last time Mars was retro as it takes 26 months for it to travel the Zodiac was May 12,2001-July 20, 2001 in Sagittarius.

This is not really that exciting but because Uranus is retro heading back to critical degrees and Neptune is the host of both of these planets it is worth mentioning. If you go to http://www.astro.com you can get a birthchart with information on where this setup is occuring. This will be the house that is stressed during this time.

With Mars so close to the earth we could see more threatening weather. If at this time you feel hopeless and the struggles from the past are piling up don't turn to drugs or alcohol because you will have some great breakthoughs at this time. This applied energy is internalizing. You might feel like exploding and others are experiencing the same things so we have to be careful. If there are heated discussions in marriage take it in stride even though you don't want to as after September is over things will get better. Mars wants us to shit or get off the pot but nothing remains the same. If you meet that love of your life, can't live without him wait until Mars has turned direct to make any decisions about it. Whatever you start at this time will have a two year fruition. If you are searching within to find God this is a great time to do it. Mars gives us that energy to understand.

Andi,

So many posts are filled with pain and despair and today you brought in the light of a child. How precious this day was and how it will go down in the history books for those two little boys.

Thank you

In the ecstacy of that moment we are at a place that is of nothingness. Not one care or worry but we connect with our higher selves. Magical moment in life!

Witnessing: Turning the Tables on Them

by cruzanheart in

jw
friends

a couple of weeks ago i started an irritable thread about the girl at work who gave out my home phone number -- from the firm's confidential internal phone list -- to an old friend i hadn't talked to in about 20 years.

i smelled a set-up and made a stink at work about it.

as far as i know, she was "talked to" and the subject was briefly mentioned at a staff meeting that i missed due to being out of town.. well, i thought about it for a few days and decided to give the old friend a call anyway.

Thank you Cruzanheart for posting this little tidbit.

We are all where we need to be.

Glad to hear that your friend had a listening ear.

"Natural affection" in families INCREASING -- sign of the times?

by Gopher in

the jw's have been preaching these are the last days ever since they started aeons ago.

one of the main signs they used from the bible is a decline in natural affection among family members.. such a decline is accepted as fact by many who aren't even jw's.

however, when teenagers themselves are polled, the results are quite different and surprising.. here's a link to the article published in today's minneapolis newspaper, and i have pasted the key part of the article below:.

This scripture applies more to THEM than anyone else.

What an excellent point. The GB must be feeling that since the end hasn't happened yet then they need to push it by disconnecting parents and children. That way the congregation thinks that the end is near. The more disfellowshippings among youths the better the society looks.

What a smoke screen!

Growing up a gay Jehovah's Witness (My Life Story)

by m0nk3y in

i feel the need to express how i feel and felt about my life as a gay man.

i was brought up from birth as a jehovahs witness.

this has played a major part in my life and it has been a real struggle to get past.

Dearest Josh,

I never want to invade anyone's life or privacy by asking their story. I was so excited to read your story this morning. Although the tears just started coming.

The desperation, the hopelessness of a unloving God. These were our judgements, not God's! We are so much harder on ourselves than God is with us.

I am so happy to have met you online. Truly loving, compassionate man.

Have fun, life is what we make it, not how others want us to live.

Cathy
