i have been wanting to get the book crisis of conscience by ray franz for some time but for some reason have felt i might be commiting the unforgivable sin.
so i ordered it on amazon will be here in about 5 days.
I actually just finished reading it this weekend.
After I was d/f I knew I could never go back, but I still basically thought that they had the truth and that I would die at Armageddon. After reading the book I never realized how much falsehood I was fed while a dub.

at about 300 feet elevation- never saw one so close to the ground.. yep - headed west to chicago or southbend i suppose - football game coverage tomorrow most likely.
we live on a dead line between toledo and those points, and i know they often base one of them in toledo.. the grandkids were thrilled.
as were the grandparents too.
My ex brother-in-law used to fly the one stationed in Akron and then he moved to Florida to fly the one stationed in Pompano (spelling?) Beach. He took me up in it and he even let me man the controls for a few minutes. What fun!!
i know of some elders that regularly gave about $500 per month towards the kingdom hall and other watchtower society interests....and you???
?
I grew up poor so I don't recall us donating very much, although my dad got a severance check from his place of employment because they closed for good and he gave about $7,000 to the Society (nevermind the fact that they could barely put food on the table).
My ex-husband and I were poor young people so we didn't really donate much either.
i'm going to be spinning some tunes/ gracing the wheels of steel/ throwing down some phat beats etc at a works halloween party next week-----.
i need help sorting out a playlist!.
please give me your ideal sounds - nothing too hardcore though, nice pop music if you please.. thanks.
My hubby and I hare having a Halloween party at our house this Saturday and he was burning a cd for it last night.
Some that he burned are: Thriller, Tales from the Crypt, Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Halloween (movie) theme, Friday the 13th, Psycho theme . . .sorry cannot recall anymore right now. I think you can do a search for Halloween tunes and it will give you a list to go by.
my mom has disowned me and subsequently, my 6 month old....and i am sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am so frusterated to let this stinkin cult ruin and affect my life so much.
has anyone had success in talking to a relative and saying something to get them to think for themselves?
Well I'm very sorry to hear the phone call went that way.
My family does not see me (my mom has never seen my 4 year old daughter) and I get sad sometimes, especially during events in my life when my family should be celebrating with me.
my wife and i got a puggle puppy a few months ago.
they are the cutest dogs.
i was just wondering if anyone else here has one?
No I don't have one but a friend of my brother-in-laws got one and I had the pleasure of seeing him last month.

Has she seen pictures of the new baby? If not, maybe send her some and ask her if she wants to miss out on this beautiful little gift.
did you ever think of attending a meeting at another hall far away, where no one knows you, and where you could pass for a very spiritual jw...although you,re df'd... hehe.
something maybe you'd like to do just once, just to see how things are these days at the meetings.. and maybe at the end of the meeting after making 10 comments, tell everyone, you're disfellowshipped !!!!
hahaha.
You could "pretend" to be newly interested. You'd really get the 'LOVE BOMB" dropped on you!
