  a freind of mine who doesnt go to meetings and his wife (but the troof has a firm grip on their thinking) were quizing me on why i dont make my way back to the meetings.

  well i explained the un thing and quotes website and i have a problem with those things and if it could be sorted out id come back.

  at one stage of the conversation it almost got heated (which is understandable as its a touchy subject for anyone who still beleives)

  keep in mind this is just skimming the surface - there are many more details that i feel should not be touched upon.

  but if you've always wanted to know my background, here ya go...).

  Hi Leo

  You've got to give some notice when you're going to be in Sydney, I live 3 hours drive away so don't get there so much. But.......an international apostafest would be worth the trip.

  your trip sounds great.

  and Es, just keep your fluids up......you'll have a great time.

  Best wishes

  I'm so bad I'm good...

  i have been in the same circuit since i was 2. that means that most of the 1000 or so in the circuit know me to some extent.. in my "later" days as a witness i kept a very limited close circle of friends.

  but i'm still fairly well known.

  not "popular" but recognizable.. my mother has recieved a lot of gifts recently (candles, a blanket, cards, candy) and tons of phone calls.

  well.......i figured it's about time to tell my story...bear with me, it's close to bedtime and i'll probably have to break this up.... .

  i was born on may 22, 1985 into a family full of dubs minus the dad...my father never had much to do w/ religion.

  after that, it's pretty much blank, except for what was recounted to me by family members..

  My family moved across the world to fade, but now my parents and sister/family are back in. it's easier for me in some ways cause it's not in my face all the time. I live two hours drive away from my jw relatives. I also have family who have used the depression line, but they are still shunned although only faded.

  I don't think there's any easy way.................you gotta do what's best for you and yours at that time.

  Did Rutherford love his wife?

  did rutherford love his wife?.

  if he did, why did he reside in brooklyn, while she lived in california?.

  if he did, why during the times he did visited california he resided at beth sarim in san diego, when his wife, mary, resided in the los angeles area, where his son malcolm also lived?.

  I think he had ISSUES!

  As 1st Corinithians 13 defined:

  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

  Love never fails...................

  He failed me, and a lot of other people on this board. whether he loved his wife is ancient history, but I think not!

  hungary workers get shock at bottom of rum barrel.

  budapest (reuters) - hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website reported.. according to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in szeged in the south of hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it, only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body of a naked man fell out.. the website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.. according to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-liter barrel had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the liquor to take home.. .

  I'm hoping it is a myth
