Fall is my absolute favorite. I put out my scaracrows this weekend!!
I also love buying the pumpkin and spice scented candles. They make the house smell so good. Also looking forward to having a fire in the fireplace!

i often wondered this myself a lot growing up, and i must know.... if there was no paradise hope, no promise of living forever or having your dead loved ones resurrected....would you still serve your god and follow the organization?
would you have ever began studying with the witnesses for that matter or stayed in the ''truth'' if you were raised in it?.
because isn't that the golden ticket that jw's wave in front of their studies or interested ones?
Good question!
When I was d/f I think I still believed pretty much in what they were saying. At that time I thought that I would die at armageddon but I left because I couldn't stay in a miserable marriage. The carrot dangling in front of me of eternal life wasn't enough to sway me to stay
i have been d/f for about 10 years now so i don't get to read anymore publications or keep up on any changes.
but here is my question and little background.. i work with a d/f girl and her sister was d/f as well about a month ago.
the girls sister and her husband were inactive for 5+ years.

I work with a d/f girl and her sister was d/f as well about a month ago. The girls sister and her husband were inactive for 5+ years. The husband cheated on her and the wife was granted a scriptural divorce. During the divorce the wife started to study with a "mature" sister at her hall and also started attending meetings again. A few months later she meets a really nice worldy guy and starts seeing him. At this time she stopped her studies and meeting attendance. Her mother finds out she is sleeping with this guy and turns her into the elders and at that time she gets d/f. The sister (the one I work with) told me that she was only d/f because she started a study and showed interest in coming back to the meetings. She said if she had remained inactive that the elders could not have done anything to her for her relationship with the worldy guy.
I had always thought that as long as you were baptized and were found to commit wrongdoing that you could be d/f whether you were attending meetings or not. Have the rules changed or was I under the wrong thinking to begin with?
brigid and i were talking last night and discussing children and how we who were jw kids had to sit still for three or four meetings a week and how that sort of self-discipline has its good points and bad points.. when we were talking about the meetings, she had to remind me that the meetings on thurs.
and sun.
wow, i had completely forgotten.
Or as another poster called it "The ROTTEN Review"
heh heh

I had completely forgotten about the written review until someone brought the subject up here a few weeks go.
I remember how the paper it was printed on would smell real bad.
untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} --> in what ways do you still think or act like one of jehovah's witnesses?
last night, some co-workers invited me to watch monday night football at a .
local area bar.
Sometimes I still feel guilty for putting up holiday decorations. . .but the guilt only lasts a few seconds.
....change in order to be qualified for baptism (as a dub).
shave his beard.
cut his hair.
Stop turning water into wine at all the witness gatherings.
If someone were to get drunk and wrecked their camel, their blood would be on Jesus's head.
Keeping quiet when my brother-in-law started molesting me. I think if I spoke up and said something then he wouldn't have done the same thing to my sister. I guess when you are a kid your mind doesn't think like an adult.
Second dumbest thing was getting married at 19 to the first dub who came along. Heck, we didn't even know each other a year!
i recently went to a wedding and the father of the bride that (re)married a (worldly) man said to me, "the only thing that i can say about raising our kids as witnesses was at least they got a good foundation.
look at our kids.
they're good kids".
I'm a very outgoing person and I think it might have something to do with going door to door for 25 years.
i never used to believe in psychic ability or reading my horoscope, but i've found indisputable evidence that whoever is writing the horoscopes are geniune and not fakes.
take a look at the list below, find out which one is you and then try and tell me that psychic ability is all faked:
aquarius (jan 21 - feb 19): you have an inventive mind and think you are progressive.
That was hilarious.
I won't tell you what sign I am . .LOL.
