Nice to meet you
Look forward to your thoughts on things and I hope it gets better for you...funny how some family sees little value in a persons life when they realize they can't count time on you.
But we're here

since someone started a thread about "remember when there were pianos in the hall"?
i thought i would start this thread ... remember when everyone thought they had candida?
maybe it was just in il and wi.
I remember that and when I was with a group of sisters one day I remember thinking "hello more neurotic sister stuff " when they talked about it.
Then I said "Isn't that the SISTERS DISEASE so you can get out of having sex with your husbands coz you are all neurotic!?"
Well that went well

I remember that mushroom thingy that grew in tea and how the R & F thought that their grey hair was going black again,that asthma was now cured etc etc...
Steve
not a society apologist!!
just wanting to know what you all think.
does this "sound" fair & balanced, you decide.

My comments are breif - From one who has been living this experience for the past 12 years with the Watchtower ,you have no idea of what you are concluding and the pain you may be inflicting again on ones here ,you both, I conclude , are , since you are new posters living the lies you speak and are probably molesters yourselves - and if you are I am disgusted that you think you are Christian.
Steve

Damn I bet there's a Watchtower or Awake that covers this on my bookshelf..................Oops
mrs ozzie and i visited the home of her swim coach on sunday.
he lives nearby a large kingdom hall which accommodates several large city congregations, yet he says that he's never been visited by the dubs.
no, never, in the more than two years he's lived there!
So here he is, living around 400 metres from a Kingdom Hall and he, though never connected in any way with the Witnesses i.e. a true "worldlyâ„¢" person, has never had the Witnesses at his door, not even a tract in the mailbox!
Struth some people have all the luck!
hi my name is lisa.
i'm not an elder of course and never have been.
i was a jw for just a few years and then relocated and left it behind.
Oh and Susanhere your pathetic little put down would show your heart too I think. I was very dedicated to the LDS although only young, I was baptised at 8 and the church felt I was at an age of understanding did'nt they ? So all events were very clear to me as I was so wrapped up in LDS ,giving Sacraments, talks etc and only left when forced to by my father .

Qcmbr
Well I'm sorry to see you chose the course you did in responding to questions that I asked Lisa, you should read my post again and if you can get past your ignorance you might see that I was pointing back to a time past.
This all happened before you were born and your attitude has been similar to my genuine questions (NOT LOADED LANGUAGE) that missionaries have shown to me recently - that of ignorance (look it up ,it means LACK OF KNOWLEGE).
These events and beliefs were from a long time ago and they had a problem too coming to grips with these facts. When I asked them to return after checking out some of the old beliefs they never came back.
So that is why I asked Lisa...you, Qcmbr really show your immaturity in YOUR language and lack of understanding anothers viewpoint ,as all these things actually did happen and I was a witness to all. When the Elders came to my mother at the hall to collect the tythe OWING they had a large accounts book with the congregations tythe records and gave her forcefully a manilla envelope to put money in explaining she would have to find it from her house keeping money my father gave her ...I was there with her and also was with her when she approached my father for the money when we got home! He was not happy and told her no and to keep the missionaries away from his home.
If you don't believe me so be it , you would just prove again what religious cultism can do to peoples minds just like the JW's.,what do they call it ...Cognitive Dissonance sounds pretty close I guess.
You have'nt done LDS any favours by responding to my genuine questions in the way you did ....but I will concede that I've seen a lot worse in the JW"S. You see I have many fond memories of my LDS time such as the sport ,the MIA etc .
Lisa
I can only assume you follow Qcmbr 's course in answering the questions .It's funny how some people will defend at all costs some things that actually DID happen before they were born and never question whether their organization was actually saying and doing these things. All I can say is I'm glad I was'nt an African American Mormon in the 50's and 60's
my relatives that are still witnesses, always hate it when i say one thing to them, more then any others ... .
"are you going to church tonight?
"were you at church?".
Where's your local Ding Dong hall?
