I love it, but my fiance has his dinner break half way through it and calls from work so I always end up missing the last half. I was wondering about the thumb tacks though, maybe the morse code he picked up listed all the cities that were bombed? It will be interseting to see when all the chaos starts cause ya know someeone has to cause trauma eventually...lol.

I am glad to hear she made it home safe and sound. I hear ya on the way recruiters will do anything to get people to join. My fiance as well as alot of soldiers in his unit were suppose to recieve a $10,000 sign on bonus after they completed 5 years of service. Unfortunately that 5 years ended after a year in Baghdad and somehow the recruiter "forgot"to have the men sign the bonus paperwork when they enlisted, they didn't know any better at the time. It really bummed alot of them out, they were planning on using that money for a fresh start after the Army....what a way to treat people for serving their country in a war zone and giving up their families for a year.

Ever know of a great family movie, the Witnesses found demons or evil in?
by free2beme ini remember growing up, the witness children were often ones that were left to see all those g rated movies from disney.
yet even those at time, while accepted by just about every religion out there, were considered demonic.
for example, the following movies were said to show witchcraft and in or congregation we were encouraged to discard them and not own copies of them; sleeping beauty, snow white, the little mermaid, bed knobs and broomsticks, and fantasia.

I had a sister in my congo. tell me that the Bethelites were the only "place of business" to open their doors to poeple trying to flee the area and that the bethelites fed them and gave them comfort. Just wondering if it is true.

I have never heard of anyone being let out of the military by choice due to a broken hand. The only medical leave I have ever heard of is pregnancy, or a life threatening desease. Don't get me wrong, I am very pleased to hear that she is coming home, just confused. Also, basic is 3 months long, she just left a little while ago (like say in the past month or two?).
Just the skeptic in me asking questions.

I couldn't believe what I heard
by snarf ini posted last week about wanting ideas to bring up for a visit from my old teacher and her elder husband.
the visit went awesome, they only managed to stay for 3 1/2 hours then made up a lame excuse and bolted out of here as fast as they could.
i am very grateful for the responses i recieved, although we never made it to those issues, i didn't get a chance.

Isn't it amazing how many loopholes you discover when you walk away? V- makes a great point though about the "innocent" mate having a say in the matter on wether they forgive you or not.
At least now all the conversations I had with the P.O. about the matter back then make sense now. He was always reminding me that I was not yet baptised and that maybe I should go out some night and see what followed me home. I always thought he was joking, maybe he wasn't..
Thank you all for all the help you gave in the matter, if they ever stop by again, maybe I will bring up the issues suggested and see what they say.

I felt pretty good after they left. I was not mean in anyway, neither were they, other than the fact that they said we all couldn't hang out. I felt like I was heard, although they probably made excuses of me being to wordly for them to reach. It was also good for my daughter, cause she was also able to voice her opinions on some of her issues as well, and I think it taught her that she can agree to disagree with someone and still be respectful about it.

Thanks!!! I think I did a really great job, my 12 year old was sitting there the whole time and she even said"that doesn't make sense".
They left after I debated for 2 hours on a person's "heart condition". I informed them that just because I didn't go to any meetings, associate only with witnesses, preach the bible at every chance I got, doesn't mean my "heart condition" was any less valuable in the eyes of Jehovah than theirs. Only God knows my "heart condition" , not them or any other group of imperfect men. Just because I will never go back to a kingdom hall or study again, doesn't mean I love God any less and my relationship with God is personal, between God and I only...no one else, and that no one had the right to pass judgment on me.
Then they left...lol.

I posted last week about wanting ideas to bring up for a visit from my old teacher and her Elder husband. The visit went awesome, they only managed to stay for 3 1/2 hours then made up a lame excuse and bolted out of here as fast as they could. I am very grateful for the responses I recieved, although we never made it to those issues, I didn't get a chance. I was never baptised, but when I was studying, my husband at the time was cheating on me and I was unable to prove it although I brought them ALOT of proof. I asked them, had I been baptised, what would have happened to me if I decided to take the same path as I did by leaving the Org. They tried to ping-pong the issue by saying I wasn't so no action could be taken. Being aware of that fact, I again redirected them to the question at hand, but what if I had been baptised. The Elder then proceeded to empathise with my situation back then, and beings I was under great stress, if I had gone out drinking, got drunk, had a one-night stand, but was repentant and came forward right away, nothing but a good talking to would have happened and I would have then been scriptually free from the marriage as I would have commited adultery. I asked what would have happened had I did what I did, which was meeting my fiance and respecting myself and him as well by waiting for "relations" until I felt ready, which wasn't for about 6 months after we met, but I don't feel repentant over it, and I continue on with the relationship? He said, well, then I would have been disfellowshipped.
So, they were telling me that a one night stand is more forgiveable in the eyes of Jehovah than a long term respectable relationship resulting in marriage.
Am I way off here or is this really stupid thinking on their part?
I did manage to get alot of closeure from this meeting and I don't think they will ever return. I played nice and told them we would love to have them over to our house some night to grill out some steaks and hang out, but they said since I am not in the Org., that was out of the question, I actually felt kinda sorry for them.
