from the evidence i have found, it was all but etched in stone.
so why try and defend the wts by saying "they never stated armageddon would be in 1975", as one witness tried to throw back at me.. seems that you could show them all the evidence in the world of this false organization, and it will repel right off them.
is there some sort of "force field" kool-aid they're serving at the halls?.
I was 15 in 75. Although they specifically never said it would happen they said it would be fitting, and put a lot of empasis on the year in the leadup.
My family left, but my parents are now back attending meetings. They say it's "better than the other alternatives", and they made mistakes but that's only human, and let Jah sort it out
i thought it would be polite if i just introduced myself.
i am a former jehovah's witness that left studying a few years back for the purpose of solace and grace in my life, freedom from the hypocrisy of men, and the teachings which the bible does not correspond with.
i have since adopted a more simple way of living, and no longer have to worry about ring around the collar, or that book study that i never read ahead for.
solace and grace in my life, freedom from the hypocrisy of men, and the teachings which the bible does not correspond with
Good reasons!

i have to admit, for many years i hated it.
before i got married i used to do lots of my own cooking and enjoy artistry of it.
heck, i'm not saying i was an expert at it but the important thing was i loved it.. but then things hit the fan and for years after, particularly because being on my own now, i would find any and every excuse in the cookbook not to do it lol.
Hi Zagor
I do love cooking, when I'm not rushing in from work and trying to get some food on the table in a hurry. I like marinating baby squid in sweet chilli, lime juice, and fish sauce and doing on the barbie.......yum.
Tandoori lamb cutlets with a big veggie currie..........yum
baked octopus hoods stuffed with rissotto........yum
and I make nice nori rolls and vietnamese rice paper rolls...........yum
don't like the cleaning up so much!, but it's got to be done
Your evening's menu sound....yum! have a great night.

who is merry?
i was born in 1965, the same year that malcolm x was assassinated.
my father had committed suicide a few months into my mother's pregnancy so we lived with her parents until she married again when i was about 18 months old.
He's been married seven times because he's addicted to wedding cake.....rofl!
can't confirm the Scottish angle, Been over here and out of the org too long. he said he was " National Overseer" and left the borg in '69, was born in skye but educated in Birmingham...........
Any other Brits know of this man Dr. J Nicholson??

I've sent you a request :).......
this has turned out to be a pretty good week .
vacation all week which means sleeping in......... mmmmmm sleep .
skipped memorial on monday.
What a top week!!
I saw robert cray in concert with Buddy Guy last year, it was a good night. Clapton was in Australia last month and my hubby got to go to his concert, but I missed out :(
Outlaw, I saw Jimmy Vaughn perform a couple of years ago, not quite as good as his brother, but still pretty good :)
although it is sometimes hard to put so many elements of a novel into a 2 hour screenplay and motion picture and you end up reading the book and then watching the movie and wish they would have included stuff they left out.
however there are sometimes when you might watch the movie and end up more impressed with the movie and grown more attached to the movie than the book.
can you think of any movies you thought were better than the book it was based on?
Hi LRG,
maybe not on the same literary standing as some already mentioned.........but I so loved the novel Angela's Ashes, and yet imo, it turned into the most dreariest, plotless, movies of all times :(
well that was an interesting journey!
i just got home after riding home from a friend's house, where i'd been helping them with a little decorating.
it is a clear and beautiful night, so i thought i would open her up a little, but neglected to look at the speedo.... ...until i hit a short piece of undulating piece of road and found the front wheel wobbling.
LT............Our man on the scene took pics............
I see the shock of it all turned yer hair snowy!

hey (((merry)))
So, sincerely, all the best Merry, I hope Islam continues to make you happy and give you what you need.
ditto.............
I also wondered about something you mentioned in myspace, but didn't continue.......
it was about your ?christian experience, and the intense relationship you felt with Jesus...........how does that fit in with your new beliefs?
Thanks for sharing, you have a great writing style and always get me thinking!

thankyou so much for all the good wishes you have sent us in the last few days, trev has been printing up the emails, pms and threads, and bringing the cards to show me every day, and i get a lift every time i see him coming in with more of your lovely messages to read.. it's been a tough time for both of us, and it won't get any easier.
i am dreading chemo, to be honest, but i have to bear it, as i would anything that gives me hope.
but that's for monday, and i am going to enjoy myself as much as i can this weekend.
((((Linda))))
Glad you were able to go home for the weekend. Do things that make you smile, gather your reserves for next week, rest up in your own bed, and enjoy the company each other.............
Thinking of you both
