  Is Katrina just a precursor of things to come?

  if damage from one storm is going to cost, as they say, over a hundred billon dollars what would happen if we have another storm like that one, and another, and another, and another....

  i mean prices of fuel have jumped to record high all over the world as result of one storm, how bad can it get really?

  just this simple analysis would tell me that in a year or two of such hammering economy of the entire world could collapse.

  My Journey

  by Andrea Wideman in

  2. experiences

  my journey to find a religion i could believe in wholeheartedly started as a young adult.

  i was raised as a catholic but couldn't say for certain that i believed all that i was taught..

  i had a mother who was a catholic and a father who was a divorced protestant.

  Welcome andrea. Your story is so familiar yet personal, everyone on here has the same stories to tell. Your amongst real friends now who won't judge you because of your wardrobe, or magazine placements. Good luck in your endeavours, trust yourself to make your descisions, because you ultimately live the consequences, no one else.
  
  Peace

  I wish i was a lawyer!
  
  Are people really this stupid? and we think we are the most intelligent species!
  
  The Winnebago one though, isn't that an urban legend, i'm sure i read that a few years ago, but the owner was a man. although i have come across people like this, who shouldn;t be allowed behind the wheel of a toddlers push car, let alone a 5 ton small bus! In my job as a Smash Repairer we see on a daily basis, people attempts at exiting the gene pool!

  IMHO, get out and stay out. Why put yourself throught the mill for what amounts to a Rich mans Publishing Club! Its hard to focus now on whats right becuase your still in it, but leave, you will thank yourself in 10 years time when you have kids of your own and they lead a normal life, untainted by the foul teachings of the Dubz. Think of it that way and have faith in your own abilities.

  do you resent your parents for bringing you into the WTS?

  by kid-A in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  for those born into the wts, do you ever feel resentment towards your folks for forcing this upon you?

  i went through a stage of strong resentment and anger, but no longer feel this way.

  i think they sincerely believed they were acting in my best interests.

  I get the odd pang of resentment but its usually fleeting. They did it because they thought they were doing the right thing at the right time, what parent wouldn't? the dogma, the "You'll live forver on paradise" to me now it resembles Fundamentalist Islamic teachings!!
  
  What i do resent is the way my mum feels, after my folks got divorced, my dad got DF'ed (wtg dad) and this blew the family apart, (this was about 8 years ago) My eldest sister is still in the troof and loves it, my mum was treated with contempt that she couldn;t keep my dad as a husband and on the straight and narrow! And she beleived it to this day that it was all her fault!! I mean come on mother dearest, are you that naive? You can't speak to her about this because she says your attacking her, she hasn't really moved on emotionally from it either, and would still go to the meetings but she can;t cope with all the "happy familys" there. I'm glad i live on this side of the world and she lives on the other so i don;t have ot deal with this nonsense! My dads still a player though, and loves it! I hae a grudging respet for him because he taught me to stand up for myself, where as mother dearest would of had me horse whipped if it would of made another brother or sister happy!

  Were You Ever Drunk or High At A Meeting Or In Service?

  an elder in our hall used to drink his wine before evening meetings regularly, and on more than a few occasions was "buzzed" and laughing up on the platform while giving a talk.

  ow man i love this site!!! Memories!
  
  i was 16 at the time, I remember going out to Ritzy's nightclub in Bromborough (imagine if they knew that eh) on a Saturday night with my worldly mates and a few brothers, getting well hammered, being on camera on the Hitman and Her, although the elders didnt see that show! Sunday comes round, drag my sorry ass to the KH, and feeling worse for wear, must of dozed off. What was probably seconds later, a brother had answered a question in the WT portion of the meeting, he was sitting a few people down from me, so the huge microphone on a stick came past me, startled my and my audible "shit whats that...." could be heard across the hall! Ahahahhahahahh i was such the model witness! Got a bollicking for that one too!
