well, the circuit over-queer gave another stirring discourse, inciting the congregation to action... i can't remember the exact title of the talk but it was summink to do with taking delight in jehovah's righteousness...
he started off by defining jehovah's righteousness as his laws, his statutes and his commands (we all know where this is going now don't we?)...
he then went on to cite a few examples from the bible of ones who have proven to be righteous in god's eyes.
As I vaguely recall, weren't lots daughters blamed for getting him drunk and shagging him? Didn't he offer his virgin to be gangraped and murdered? Yeah it's a lovely read.
I just don't understand why women get so upset..........
yep... beautiful.
bottle of cab, spaghetti bolognese, garlic bread..
love you guys..

hi everyone just had another situation wanted to know your all opnion on how to deal with this one.
here goes..... i got a dozen roses with ballons the other day at work and it had type written on the card " to someone special ?
"that was on friday.... i called my x and ask others if they sent them to me and everyone said no......including my co workers then tuesday when i went to work, the florist brought me another dozen roses with a teddy bear and said he forgot to bring me the teddy bear on friday so he had a dozen roses a teddy bear and ballons again and the card read " thinking of you".... again didnt know who sent it... i talk to a co worker who is trying to make the moves on me and he said " do you want me to tell you the truth?
i've started on a path that is very comfortable for me almost a year ago.
and now i'm wanting to see how many believe a similar way.. i looked into wiccan, celtic, eclectic and other forms of pagan.
i think that i've settled down into shamanism since that was the path my grandfather went.

I understand your bitterness over your experience with jws. But you use the word pagan to cover all sorts of different beliefs. I don't call myself a pagan. If you saw me on the street youwouldn't look twice. If I spoke to you, you would thinkI am a normal guy going to work and goingout with friends etc. I only speak of these things if I believe someone is truly interested, otherwise as I said on an earlier comment, I would be speaking in to the wind.
You quoted some guy who said be silent about what you don't know. Amen
i have been thinking about this because of another post where the question asks have any of us ever been blackmailed to stay in the watchtower organization.. no, i won't say i was blackmailed; however, after i wrote my note of disassociation, the congregation overseer wanted to visit me in my home with two other elders.
i repeatedly said no, that i would not allow them to chastise me in my own home.
therefore, all of my conversations were over the phone with the overseer.
Yes, disfellowshipping is a cleansing of the pure race......That sounds familiar
i just wanted to start this thread to vent out about how i'm being forced to go to the district assembly convention bullcrap twice all 3 days and to get a little advice on how to get out of it.
but mainly it would be interesting to know how other people got out of going to the meetings.
like acting sick, falling down and scraping your knee, different ways you got out of going to it.
You could say
Oh mother, I am so full of rich spiritual food that I would be a glutton if I had a second helping!!
Please allow me to stay home in prayer and meditation of the new truths unfurled before me
Then f..k off to the mall for the day.....
Ha ha Mtbatoon !!!!
May be pommie humour is an aquired taste eh?
Yep
i hit the pillow early last night, first week back at uni is really taking its toll after a month of sleep ins and so on lol!
i must have stirred around 11pm and started reflecting on a list of thoughts that i reserve for quiet moments.
after reading a number of threads on posters that attended the dc this year, it crossed my mind momentarily last weekend that perhaps i might do the same, even if only for a couple of hours on saturday??
Surely watering the garden would be more stimulating than putting on ya stockings and sitting in some stadium waiting for time to warp to the final grinding prayer.....
Better for your phyche too
