Anyway, the drive down at night was pretty slow, we don't live in the city, so the "minor roads" had lots of wild life. Picture Six foot tall rabbits, (kangaroos!) hopping in front of the car, freezing in the glare of the headlamps. There were mobs of them, I swear they must breed like rabbits.
So I got to thinking that God (my jury's not out on that one yet), had such a sense of humour when he created them. They are such a comical looking creature.
what's your funniest animal??

in part this thread is an apology to dansk.. by way of an explanation; about a year ago i posted to someone that they should show little compuncture about lying to a body of elders, since the wts would only apply theocratic warfare to them, and do the same.
dansk (rightly in my opinion) reprimanded me about it, though i uncomfortably defended my position at the time.. well, i was raised better than that.
"two wrongs don't make a right", and lying was never on the agenda in our household.
"oh the tangled web we weave"............ I'ts true, outright lying can just come back to make things worse for you.
Nothing wrong with evasion though!
Me too, I signed the form on my drivers licence. I've also donated blood in the past.
as a nurse I've also given blood transfusions........(well, the doc hooks it up - the buck stops there...... but the nurses monitor the transfusion), I've seen people so much improved after their treatment.
Pity my mum almost died for refusing hers. she would have been able to care for her children and new born baby so much better.
since my mom decided she needed to put full shunning back into effect again (an unconscious new year's resolution to be a better jw?
), i've been ransacked by a whole bunch of emotions which have been gradually resolving into thoughts.
the sense of being completely disposable, expendable, replaceable.

So the next time you enjoy the rich, velvety flavor of chocolate, take a moment to think about the long journey it has made from the bitter bean growing in the Tropics to the appealing chocolate confection before you.
That's right, - take a moment to think about C-H-O-C-0-L-A-T-E !!!,........... better than thinking, really thinking about other things we have said.
MMMM C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E...............just keep telling yourself that!
after the wts became a troublesome entity for you, how did you feel about the specific jws that persuaded you to come into the org which subsequently caused you so much heartache?
did you confront them on the issue?
Dr Phil...........it was all my parents fault,.....and theirs before them.............!
doesn't matter who or how, only what you do now!

the general feeling on this website is that all religions have gods people in them.so why does it matter to you all.that you believe you were lied too?you show me a religion that is with out fault?show me a religion that has the total truth from the bible?
with out doubt despite what people say the jehovahs wittnesses.have the closest to the truth
PMJ
You say that JW's are closest to the truth. Well that's not good enough for me. If they are "gods chosen mediator.........then they have no room for error, and they've made plenty of them.
also the WT says that if you read the bible alone, you will fall into darkness, but by reading the soc's literature you will stay in the light...........what arrogance. to teach that their ramblings are better than the supposed word of God!

this was the title on an article in the watchtower 1987 9/1, pages 12-15. this article should scare any employer that do have employees that are jehovah's witnesses.
as a health professional my comment is

after 10 years in the "fultime work" my wife and i left bethel and moved back to missouri to serve where the "need was great".
mark had was about 17 and had put his foot down about going to the kh but his dad still pushed.
I hope mark was too drunk to know what was going on.
Hindsight can be tormenting, but think of those people who do not have the insight to look back and see their faults. We can't change the past, but hopefully we can learn from it.
Sometimes in a situation where the person that you wish to speak with is no longer here it can help to write them a letter. a letter apologising, explaining. In a way it's a letter to ourselves too, as it helps release our feelings, that's like what you've done now. shared your pain with others, hope it's lightening.
so sad, thanks for sharing
