i went to a spanish congregation and there were different hispanic nationalities and one in particular used to snub, criticize and make fun of the other one.
very unchristian and so the opposite of what they preached.
I've heard more then one elder make racial slurs.
One in particular comes to mind, a PO in texas I knew, frequently used the N word and was constantly making comments about dirty,lazy,etc mexicans.
My jaw would drop to the floor every time, but others did not even seem to notice.
hey everybody, my mom's onboard now.
she joined a month ago and just now told me, the ol' broad.
i'm so happy i could cry!!!
Welcome MS. C
........ because i haven't.
Seeker, I agree with you, I remember very clearly the day i stopped believing in demons.
haven't seen a sign of one sense.
we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.
it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .
* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.
I once rode on a Blimp.
I was born with no internal compass. I rely very heavily on maps just to get around the city, a city I've lived in for Thirty years.
When i go shopping I always forget where I parked the car,every freakin time.
It is very imbarressing, and I am otherwise a fairly intelligent person.
One of my children has the same affiction.

sorry to saratonin wrath for his thread being hijacked.
real one ... please provide the evidence that you said was out there on this thread here to avoid further hijacking of the other thread.. insults towards non-believers are also better suited to this thread then the other one as well.. kwin.
Real One, It's pretty obvious that you are pretending stupidity when it comes to the question that Anti-christ has asked.
His question is extremely easy to understand, and yet you just claim "I don't get it".
If you are so ignorant that you do not understand this simply question, then I Cannot respect any claims you make.
I am not saying this to be rude, I'm just saying your coming across as a dis-honest person when you play stupid over so simple a question.
what a common tale.
you marry early becasue you can't have sex.. i was married at 19 and divorced at 50. the only thing that held it together was our involvement in the jw's.
otherwise it would have been over in less than 5 years.. my kids are not witnesses and have a terrible relationship with their mother, as she is always trying to shove it down their throats.. this is still happening.
I married at 17 he was 21.
It lasted 18 miserable years, because divorce was not an option.
Another reason it lasted so long was because of my extreme ignorance, if i had been a little older with a little experience, I would have known how completely rediculous our marraige was.
Instead of year after year, banging my head against the wall, trying to make the impossible work.
FU GB!
my neighbours daughter recently gave birth in a large uk teaching hospital to her second child.. the baby was a very large 10 lb boy and the labour went horrendously, during which grandma and the mother's partner had to argue with medical staff for help and pain relief.. they were told that women in labour have no 'right' to pain relief in the united kingdom and despite the fact that this young woman was screaming in total despair for nearly fifteen hours before four doctors turned up to help her and give her an epidural anaesthetic., she had no help but gas and air which didn't help her at all.
the hospital was crowded with young polish women also giving birth and the staff midwives told the girl's mother that they had to concentrate on these polish young women as they did not speak english and many of their babies were at risk because they were so small.. this young woman did not even have a private room to herself but was in a crowded ward!.
the young neighbour's baby twice went into distress with his heart rate dropping desperately low.
That is just awful.
I had my first two at home. Giving birth to my second baby was horrendous, I swore to myself I would never forget the pain and if i ever got pregnant again I would have it in the hospital so I could have something for the pain.
My third was born in a hospital and I was treated very well.
The part I appreciated the most was that even with needing to have a c-section, my baby was never once out of my sight.
I have a large library, if it's about Jw's I will buy it.
I was able to get the 68 Awake on ebay a year or so ago, didn't have to pay much for it either.
Save your search on Ebay and they will notify you when another one becomes available.

I was walking out to my car from a busy store the other day.
After a couple of minutes I realized I was blindly following another group of people walking to there car, in the opposite direction as my car.
