  MY OBSERVATIONS FROM THE MEMORIAL TONIGHT (just got home)

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, as per usual, the memorial talk bored the hell out of me, but i found it, in one way to be an improvement over last years when they had the most boring speaker on the planet there http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/111544/1.ashx this guy at least knew how to speak.

  unfortunately, he didn't have much of a script to work with.. there was the mention of adam sinning and mankind needing a redeemer etc., no mention of when the israelites left egypt though.

  that's probably the first year i've ever seen where this hasn't been mentioned.

  ((((Balsam)))). I'm so sorry. Isn't it so very strange, how life just goes on for them, and they don't see it is NOT normal, what happened? My Grandma died, too, from refusing blood. I can still see her in my mind's eye, lying ill in bed, and I was just five years old. I see now how un-natural it was, for a Grandma to see her little granddaughter begging her to get well, while knowing her course was leading to death. How could she do that to a child?

  Wierd, wierd people! I wish you peace tonite. Thankfully you and your sons are out!

  I think I did a really bad thing.

  i do not attend the same hall as my boyfriend because he is currently reproved for being involved with me.

  i'm not a witness.

  he confessed to his elders that he had sex with someone outside of marriage after his second divorce was already final.

  "I don't know how to fix this..."

  I'm not sure why you would want to! Imagine what the rest of your life will be like, if you get mired in this JW mess. Run, don't walk, to the nearest exit!

  Is the WTS looking for new ways to increase membership?

  by cultswatter in

  the world wide service report for last year showed a pitifull increase of only 1.6%.

  that is about the same for normal population increase so there was no real net growth.

  now with the door to heaven wide open just think of all the kooks who always wanted to be remnant now can be remnant.

  Haha, Tyrone, how do you know Rutherford's ass was fat? The reason I'm asking is, I like a little wine myself, and I don't want my ass to get fat!

  As you said, he's an idiot. Consider the source. Just chuckle and say, "Yeah, whatever, sure!" Then ask him if he saw some marbles on the floor, cuz you think he lost his.

  Mine watches the Sci-Fi channel all the time and nothing else, unless it's a bloody- gory war movie with guns and guts! I get SO bored! Even on a balmy summer evening, he sits in front of that crap. He won't come for a walk with me & the dog, or sit on the patio to chat over a glass of wine with me. So, I just go by myself. I get tired of the TV running all the time. It's like he doesn't know how to enjoy peace & quiet, or read a book. He was raised that way, what a shame.

  That's one of the few good things I can say about being raised a JW child... I learned to read and enjoy books. I wasn't allowed to watch much TV, and so I read a lot.

  I did some translating of my own ...

  chapter 25/ page 150. .

  23. the translator's responsibility: serious responsibility rests upon a translator, who must see that what is published in the english is translated clearly and exactly for the non-english edition.

  "Young brothers, though, do not have to be ministerial servants to be translators..." Of course. a sister could never be a translator!

  Hambeak, why do they pester you on your cell? And I don't understand why Jake doesn't tell them to piss off? Glad you found the daytrip refreshing. You set some limits with them. Would you be happier living by yourself, and free? Just a thought. I could've been happy living alone in my little house with my cats and my privacy, but hubby talked me into getting married. That's OK, too, I guess. Take care!

  I used to start work at ten A.M., and get off at seven P.M. Wow, now they tell me, Monday morning, I start at six A.M! I'll be showering in the dark. I'll be going to bed about eight-thirty. I was used to staying up till ten-thirty, to spoil post on Crazyblondeb's thread. Now everyone will post after me, because I have to go to bed early like a baby! In the summertime, it'll still be light when I go to bed.

  Seriously... can anyone suggest good ways to adjust my body clock to the new sleep schedule? I'll go from:

  Going to sleep when it's dark, and getting up when the sun shines thru the blinds...to:

  Going to sleep when it's light, and getting up when it's still dark out.

  Any suggestions appreciated, meantime, boy will I be crabby!

  Good nite!
