  what was the worst advice given to you while you were a JW ?

  by wasblind in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  mine's was, if your job interfere with the meetings you have to decide who you will choose,.

  serving jehovah or serving man, if anyone knew my needs it most definitely was jehovah.

  and he knew i needed my job to eat.

  Had any Dreams Lately you Want to Share ? What Meanings do you Get ?

  by flipper in

  gawd- i had a crazy dream last night.

  in books i've read about dreaming- it has stated many times dreams are about " unfinished situations " in your life that are trying to sort out within your dreams.. my dream was : my son flipper junior and me were being chased by government thugs who wanted us to release some important numbers - a code we had written down.

  only problem was is this code had information that would cost our families & friends lives if these government people got them from us.

  I also have flying dreams.. I love them.. I am moving my arms like they are wings.. I can fly high or low with ease.. I see the ground as if I am in an airplane.. I never really get any place special but the flying part seems to last a long time.. I have no idea what that might mean??

  I turned 60 a week or so ago.. I had a really hard time with 40... but 60... No, i dont want to be 60..sounds too old!! A good friend of ours who has been fighting. kidney cancer, heart disease.. got a kidney with a virus in it, now on dialysis three times a week gave me some wise words.. He said "you have to live what you got". ... so whatever time I have left I am going to live it and live it well.. no more fear of what might or might now come in my time.. I dont ever mind riding on the back of my husband's Harley going 120 miles an hour... I am living....what I got!!

  I have a few female friends that would love to me you. I know a lot of people that bought land and have immigrated to Canada. Most of them are retired. I think if you have someone to sponsor you it would be much easier.. PM Me if we can help.. My husband and I live in Florida for the winter and love it for the weather but I am always happy to get home to Canada.. and I live in the East where the maply syrup flows.. What is your field of work?? We even have land we can sell you..The pace is pretty slow where we live so it would take some adjusting.. it is a pretty sweet place to settle down.

  Help - my husband wants to buy scratch off tickets!

  by doublelife in

  2. friends

  but, i don't see that as a bad thing.

  he asked me over lunch if i think it's wrong and i told him no.

  we discussed why the society says it's wrong and i told him why i don't agree with it and he agreed.

  I dont see the difference between buying a lottery ticket and buying stocks in the stock market.. Taking a gamble on both.. The WBTS have invested millions in the stock markets and lost and gained money. If he is going to speak to the elders.. get him to mention this to them...

  We had a few women who wore masks to all the meetings and spent tons of money on a holistic treatment to release allergies.. this was provided by a JW who specilized in this and other forms of treatment. I think the name for it was NATE. Some people sat in the library to keep themselves out of the air of the congregation. The hall had a serious problem with mold in the basement. The sold it a few years ago to people who run a day care center there now.. Poor kids..

  Arwen has been here since 2005.. I am sure I would have lost what little I have left of my mind had I not found Simon's board. I have met some of the posters in person and I am hoping to meet restrangled this winter. Anyone else in Florida let me know as I am here for the winter.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..
