Why did you pick your avator or username?
by cognac inwell, i picked my username because that's what i saw in front of me and i like the way it sounded.
no real story behind that.
i picked my avator because that's the way i felt.

Witnesses Who Were Hypocrites!
by minimus insome jws truly believe and live their faith.
but many witnesses lived double lives or spoke one way in front of the congregation but privately, they were just the opposite.. i knew an elder and his wife who owned a liquor/convenience store.
they sold tobacco and lottery tickets but claimed that the real owner of the business was the wife's "worldly" father, which was hogwash.. were there any real hypocrites that you knew about?.

OMG, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
Would I start with the cigar smoking blackjack playing elder? The wife swapping elder/pioneer couple? The sheep loving MS?
Decisions, decisions.
I seriously could write a book.

Hey, sorry everyone.
That was crappy of me to leave you hangin'
I usually stay away from the boards when the "Truth" pressure and anxiety builds to a crushing level but it was inconsiderate to post and not check back this long. I apologize.
Yup, the guilt and fear is building to a crescendo.
Not sleeping at night. Phone/doorbell rings and I hide. Scared to talk with my parents.
Kind of embarrassing at the same time because I'm such a strong guy in every other area of life. Ah, such is the power of the WT.
Somethings got to give though soon and it can't be my mental or physical health anymore but the thought of spilling my guts to my century "truth' family is just still over the top.
I know that a therapist is in my future. I'm going to give it a lot of thought.
Thanks for all of your advise, concern and kind words.
Again, my apologies.
LONG LIVE THE WATCHTOWER!

And it may be drivng me the same way. But I don't want that!
I feel the same way my aunt felt. She's been gone none for 22 years.
I'm thinking of going to a shrink and was wondering what the best book to give them would be.
If anyone can help me I wsould appreciate it!

Defiant North Korea tests a sixth missile as U.S. raises military alert levels in nuclear stand-off
By Michael Lea
Last updated at 12:44 AM on 30th May 2009North Korea test-fired another missile yesterday and warned it would act in 'self-defence' if provoked by the UN Security Council.
The UN is considering tough sanctions over the communist country's nuclear test on Monday.
But the North Korean government warned: 'Any hostile act against our peaceful vessels, including search and seizure, will be considered an unpardonable infringement on our sovereignty.
