hey everyone.
its been a while since i have posted here.
i finally made the big move and am no longer in minneapolis.
Happy that your move has gone well and sorry that you miss your friends. Soon, you will be making new ones and you can add them to your collection. Mostly though you will get to be even closer to your little boy. Nothing better in the world than that. Congratulations on the job and the move. Good luck

on my website jwfacts.com i ask two questions on the front page.
today i received an email from a 13yo attempting to answer them, which i thought was very sweet.
> cross and actually have it on the watchtower back in the day.
Wow, I was once like that little 13 year old and would have argued until I was blue in the face. She did pose her reply very sweetly. Your reply was also very nicely done, not condemning, and very simple. Perhaps it will give her and opportunity to think things through and she will investigate things more thoroughly. Though with witnesses they will not look or listen until they are sincerely ready, no amount of argument will sway them until they want to be swayed. Beautifully done though.

i don't know how some of you are around this time of year, but i'm just really depressed lately, more so this time of year it seems.
because it is nearing the memorial time and now that i have a son, i am totally lost as to what to do and what to teach him concerning religion.
my own youth was stolen by the wtbs and has made me a total wreck at times.
Wing Commander,
I am sorry for the pain that you are experiencing and the loss of a beloved family member. I wish that someone would have shown you and your family the concern that true christians should.
The only advice that I can share with you (in regards to your baby, the same that I am trying to use myself) is that there is nothing wrong with the bible. It has a good moral code to live by. JW's have made the bible a tool for judgement and unkindness. And they have put hedges about the law. They have made it absolutley impossible to please God because of all the hoops they make you jump through.
Micah 6:8 sums it up beautifully - "He has told you, O earthling man, what is good. And what is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God?"
If we could live by this scripture and try to raise our children by it then we have done everything that we need to to please God.
Hope this might help a bit.

the cong elder came looking for my wife and i opened the door wearing my favorite college t-shirt that reads:.
i'm and immigrant and i'm f%$&ing proud of it.
of course, i told him she wasn't home, as the line goes whenever they seek her..
Isn't it great when you can shock them without even being prepared to do so?!!
Congratulations

well, i should be counselled for:.
posting 10.000 times on this board .
going to apostofests .
Well,
I would probably be counseled for cussing like a sailor and then disfellowshipped for lack of repentance for the counsel I received.
Definately Df'd for being on this website. Not repentant
Not believing in the group of men that call themselves the GB. Not repentant
The occasional pornea that my husband and I enjoy together and I am not repentant for this either.
Oh and telling people happy birthday and sending my sister a gift for her bday for the first time in my life. It was quite fun. Not repentant
And being glad that I left a group of jerky people and knowing that even if by some small crazy chance that they are right some how some where some way being glad that I don't have to live forever with them.

Welcome, Anneshirley, you have picked one of my most favorite movies. Although, I think Matthew was my favorite character.

the word's out to invite anyone and everyone-----as this could be the last celebration (per my mother as she heard it at the hall).
No invites here. I doubt we will be getting any either. We have been unofficially dfed. Woowho.
here it is, the whole episode: .

...it`s one of the funniest sout-park-episodes ever, i laughed till i dropped.
The recent Rolling Stones Magazine has an article on the Scientologists. It is pretty amazing. And the South Park episode that is about Scientology is not supposed to be aired any longer. Anyway, that is what the article said.
They sounded pretty odd but if you took out a few things they sounded just like JW's. Kind of freaky.
