This is my absolute favorite! But if this isn't available I love Guinness.
the jws just walked away from my front door, while i'm sitting here on jwd.
my wife is home, sick from work so i didn't answer the door.
the funny thing is, they left the october 1, 2004 watchtower.
The concensus was to leave old magazines. They said "the information contained in them is still beneficial and current." Though, as I was always behind and seemed to have tons of magazines, I would leave the current issues in the door. After those were all gone I would then leave the older ones. It was quite amazing because about six to eight months ago, when I had decided that I had finally had enough, I burned all of the old magazines that I had. The fire burned for three whole days. I guess I didn't place enough. Should have kept them for winter and saved them for fire wood. Then they would have actually been beneficial!
when we had our children we planned them.
we made this known to any in the cong who asked if we 'got a surprise' when we found out we were pregnant.
we basically said, 'no, we wanted children'.
I know exactly how it feels. My inlaws were very, very anti children and expressed those views quite frequently. When their daughter became pregnant the first time, the second time and the third time, there was no joy, just disappointment that they couldn't wait until the new system to have children. My sister-in-law was so unhappy she cried all of the time about being pregnant. (Of course, this was back in the 80's when those d.c. talks were coming out about not having children.) I saw her pregnant on the third one and the only thing the in-laws could say was poor poor girl. It was rather disgusting. She, my sister in law, was only concerned about how she was going to continue to regular pioneer, this was though tears as well. Ones in the congregation were always saying how the young couples should wait until the new system to have children.
When I finally became pregnant, there was no congratulations from the in-laws. But at least they knew that we were happy about the gift from God. They certainly arn't grandparents either. They have never shown any concern for my son. When he has been sick they don't even call to check on him.
The organization has made it a sin to even think about having children. This is just another instance where they have twisted the few scriptures in the Greek where it even mentions children.
My aunt, who is way past child bearing years, hates my mother because she has children. Her and her husband were going to wait until the new system to have children. Now they are older and bitter because of the choice that was forced upon them.
two weeks ago my wife had a miscarriage at 11 weeks.
it is very sad as it was to be my first child and my wife is already 39. what hurt the most though is that none of my immediate family contacted me.
i was d/f in january and did not expect to hear regularly from my parents and sister.
Very, very sorry for your loss. And the ill treatment you are receiving. Hopefully soon you and your wife will be ready to try again. Sounds like you have a lot of love to give a beautiful baby.
last night i was surfing the net when i came upon this beautiful quote.
i thought that everyone here would get it.
those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

i have been doing handwriting analysis for over 30 years.
my experience shows that it can reveal the inner mind of an individual.
i came accross a good sample of jt rutherford's handwriting on the inside cover of the 1941 book 'children'.. just a few of my observations of mr rutherford: his upward writing slant shows a postive mental attitude- the general slant to the right shows a man with above average emotional response.
Moshe,
Another question There seems to be some tangling with the upper and lower zones. Could you tell me what that indicates?
You probably already covered this with your comments and I just didn't get it.
Obviously this subject fasicinates me. I could ask you a million questions. Hope it doesn't irritate you.

Moshe,
That was very interesting.
I know just enough about handwriting analysis to be harmful, leading to my question. Rutherford seems to be dipping into the lower zone quite a bit, which I have read deals with the sexual and emotional. Does the lower zone activity show you anything about that? Especially, in the sexual area, like perversions?
Thank you,
Loruhamah
reading a previous thread where people mentioned the crazy people in their hall and what they would do during the meetings, i figured it needed a thread all to itself.
so what did the mentally ill or generally crazy people do during your meetings?
i don't have any good ones.
We had a delightful old one in our hall. During the meeting she would always cough real loud "ach ach owww!" Real funny. One meeting the watchtower conductor decided to call on her to comment on the picture. It was Joseph fleeing from Potiphars' wife. She said "Joseph was bad because he wore dresses and was a transvestite." The conductor was flabbergasted.
we all know that the jw's think that the end is so close.. in a way, i'm still programmed that way.
i like reading news from all around the world, and you can find bad news all around the world.
example: bird flu, iran nuclear problem, terrorism, and so on.... i'm just wondering if other x witnesses here still are doom and gloom people, thinking that we are on the edge of some world catastrophy?
Sometimes it is hard not to be doom and gloom. There are so many sources that try to scare you. Just an example: Just recently I bought a book from B&N "Universe In Your Pocket" by Joel Levy. Anyway it has a full three pages on doomsday scenarios and the likelihood of those events occuring. It is rather frightening. The one with the highest risk assessement is Ecological Meltdown "Many parts of the world face an imminent water crisis, with dwindling resources constantly being stretched farther and farther. Water wars may well break out in the future. This water crisis is exacerbating the terrible problems of soil loss and desertification, which are worsened by the increasin salination of many soils around the world. However, all this could just be the tip of the iceberg - as the developing world tries to increase consumption and quality of life to developed-world levels, the Earth faces drastically worsening problems of pollution, habitat destruction, overfishing, population pressure, ans so forth. Research shows that the global ecosystem can probably absorb a lot of damage without changing drastically, but above a certain threshold, it will inevitably - and suddenly - collapse. Result? Drought, famine, disease, disaster. Risk assessment: 7/10"
There are constant reports from sources that say that by the year 20?? we will have a complete meltdown.
Anyway, I guess I am still doom and gloom hopefully I am just a cynic and none of these things will occur.
