i knew i had a couple of firearms around the house, and one in the car.
however, i didn't realize i had seven, yes, seven of them, when i proceeded to count them.
the reason for that is that i haven't gone to the shooting range in years.
S&W M&P sheid 9mm for everyday carry.
Magnum Research Baby Eagle .40 For home.
Used to have a Taurus. 357. That was great one. Also a ruger mark iv .22. Super fun and accurate.
Of course I have a wish list a mile long. But its really impractical, not enough time and money at the moment also its sort of silly. But when you like something you always want a variety in your collection.
The forum can judge me now lol.
this is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?
Not a one.
Just seeing friends after
well it finally happened!
we have been waiting about a year for this, my dfd husbands family asked us for money.
even though his own father hasn't met our 8 month old son.

if you have watched the march broadcast you will understand the topic title.
another propaganda piece intended to subtly blame the victim.
i would like to see them present a clip showing an arrogant self righteous elder interfering in the personal affairs of a family.
I am now watching as my wife comes to the realization that these people are shallow and unloving UNLESS you behave according to their agenda.
I am in a similar boat at this moment. She sees it I believe. But I am sure she is afraid to dig into TTATT. Those roots are deep and painful when you have to sort through it. I have reassured her that if and when she needs someone to discuss it with I am hear and I know how hard it can be to feel alone in waking up. But I think she has seen the organization is not all her former pioneer self thought it was cracked up to be, and that it does in fact create miserable judgmental people.
I know people that are witnesses that seem to resist that urge to be that way, but like you said, they are just good people in general.
you all know how much jws loooove to gossip.
so...i just finished a email conversation with one of my self-righteous, super jw relatives back home.
let me preface this conversation by saying this relative is someone i don't communicate with, at all.
I had been through similar things.
Gossip spread so fast, across the whole country. I had a conversation with a few family members, and the whole rest of my large family quickly disappeared off all social media, and ceased speaking to me.
And when they dig and pry about who told you this and that. Or what you believe, or why you don't go to meetings anymore, just remember you are out of that shit now and its none of their business. You don't owe anyone any explanation. All I will say is its personal, I am happier and healthier than ever, the end. Don't play their games anymore.
however, i haven't found any evidence to support that belief.. have you?
if so please, show me the evidence that god exists, and i will believe along with you.. criteria:.
(1) you must specify which god you are talking about;.
quick question... do you also believe in faith healers and spirit mediums/fortune tellers??? Just curious for my own wonderment
i'm an unbelieving but baptised jw.
i woke up to ttatt around 4 years ago.
i haven't been regular to meetings for nearly 10 years.
