Has anyone else felt like this????
by tan ini was talking to a friend of mine...she's inactive at present but attends some meetings here and there.
i have a very hard time getting through to her, anyway.... she's starting a business and is in this workshop that teaches her the processes of being a businessowner.
she stated that the lady teaching the class told them that this is a blessing from god.

So, why did I meet with the elders?
by lola28 inthis is my explanation as to why i met with the elders today.
when i agreed to meet with the elders last week i had made up my mind to just go in and be honest with them.
i was going to tell the elders that i no longer believed this to be the truth, and then i was just going to walk away.

HYPOCRITICAL QUOTES FROM THE MAY 15TH WT....
by Mary inthis is just unreal.......i cannot believe they have the nerve to actually put this stuff into print, but here's the proof that there's no limit to their insanity-----or their hypocrisy:
page 26: "..a preoccupation with the future...prevents us from seeing the present as it is" noted one american philospher.......even jehovah's worshippers are not immune tot his pattern of thinking.
(gee, i can't imagine why) what if we become so preoccupied with future physical blessings that we are blind to our present-day spiritual blessings?........we could easily become discouraged and feel 'sick at heart because our expectations have been post-poned beyond what we imagined (or, what we were promised)........we could develop a complaining attitude.

I WENT TO CHURCH THIS MORNING....
by Mary inafter the distastful and depression memorial at the kingdom hall last wednesday night, i guess i just felt the need to go somewhere else this morning for easter so i drove around.......i was going to go to the presbyterian church but the service wasn't untill 11:00am....ditto for the lutheran and united churches too, so i ended up going to the catholic church (of all places!
) because the service started at 9:30am.
never been to a catholic service before, (except for one wedding and one funeral years ago).
