the cup is half empty or half full?
the negative aspects or the positive aspects?
the ugly or the beautiful?
I always see the cup half full - even when it looks like it's emptying. I believe in being positive, to the point of even taking something positive away from a negative situation. Negativity drains me mentally and physically.
I wish that the human race would stick more to the good aspects such as humanity, love, honesty, integrety - I choose to see good in people, though am not blind to the reality of them if they aren't.
.
perhaps i would.. struggeling with doubts of course, but going to the meetings and turning in 2 or 3 hours on my report every month like i used to.... what about you guys?
It wasn't looking at sites that made me start to question. Always did question if the witties had the truth & if they could prove out of any bible that they were right......they weren't. So Yeah I still would have left.
.
anything, be it an object, a species of animal, a piece of forgotten information, translation of an unknown language, type of culture, anything.
any takers?
Probably .... hmm so many to choose from ..... - Love to see the hanging gardens of babylon - supposed to be another world wonder -
like a serious rock guitarist from a big haired 80s' band
...for tijkmo please as he is having a rough day..... i'll start:.
we're all in this together... and whatever each of us is going through on our own we'll get through it together and never have to struggle on alone ever again cos we've found each other and accepted each other unconditionally.
we're here for you just like you are here for us (and wishin' to be there for you more than here, but thems the breaks, i guess...).
Hi Tij - MOVING SUX DUDE......try get some little people to help (I got all my little cousins involved - I only ended up moving the fridge)
I do hope that your day will pan out better. Put on some good music - take a power nap - have a smoke - walk away from it all for a little bit.....Saying "don't worry" is easier said than done. The best thing that works is a plan of action. then things are clear in your mind & you take it from there.
i love tomatoes right off the vine, onions, radishes.. watermelons too - i am growning a bunch of them this year!!!.
name your favs - .

Pretty much luv all veggies - though marrows can be bitter and ugh! And too much cucumber starts tasting bloody...why I don't know by ja.
the elders and the organization always put us on alert to make sure we never "stumbled" anyone.
of course, someone was always be counseled for this offense.
Had a jw friend who was into every single guy (witness ones) who was slightly available, swearing to them how she loved them. I then told her that she should just be a bit careful that she doesn't get all the hopes up. She ran to the elders, told them I was mean & so I was called in a given the 3rd degree about how I should be showing love (I thought I was *shrug*)
And then I was told recently that how could I give a talk since I had been a stumbling block as my standing was not good in front of Jehovah (My aunt told me this) And that is when I decided I"d had enough with this organisation and it's people (besides all the stuff inbetween) I don't people telling me what my standing is or isn't before God.
I'm having a really shyte day!!!!!!!!!! I hate deadlines
i used to love hearing this song at the conventions, everyone singing..
but dammit, now it's in my head, and i just realized that it sounds kinda like the imperial march from star wars.
and it sounds great when you hum it and desk-drum a beat to it..
Yeah that song was also played at my baptism ( was only 16 at the time) and I cried, it was a 'huge' moment in my life. It is still a beautiful song but yeah pity about the org.
Another song that reminds me of my grandfather (he died before he got baptised) was Keep your Eyes on the Prize. 10 years after his death I still couldn't sing the song without crying. He was the coolest grandpa - I know that he is doing his egyption exercises (sleeping)
is this the place?
sorry for my english, i ll try my best.. i m new and hope to read some interesting arcticles here.. you can all read about me in my biography.. .

Hi Petruska - I literally have got Crises of Conscience with me right now. I haven't started reading it just yet, kinda building myself up for it. We should "read it together" Chat about things we find and can both be flabergasted (shocked) toghether.
Mums' are so precious. If you miss her you loved her lots.
