  i am preparing to work abroad for a six month stint.

  not the first time i've done it, actually, i am semi-retired and have been doing it for 12 years now.. but...it doesn't get any easier.

  i have to leave my wife, kids, comfortable home, motorcycles, many pets, and the sun and surf of the south pacific.. i have a week yet before i fly, but i started spinning real bad today.

  "I wish I was where I was when I was wishing I was here."

  Yep, you've been there. Great for a while, but I'm going on 12 years now. Soon time to settle down.

  Saved through "Faith" or "Works"

  by JH in

  1. watchtower

  .

  with the jw's, being saved means that if one link in your chain is too weak, the chain breaks and you're doomed.. so, your spiritual chain is as strong as it's weakest link, if we go by jw standards.. so, you could go to all meetings, in the field service, do all that they ask, but you do one little thing wrong, and you're doomed, just like a strong chain with one weak link to it.

  then chain breaks, and you die at armageddon.. this doesn't sound like the message of salvation jesus preached back then..

  Who called my house at midnight?

  i hate that, as if i don't have enough trouble staying asleep.

  i get woke up at midnight with a phone call.

  i fumbled around for the phone, then hit the wrong button and hung up on who ever it was.. .

  just received this email from my cousin.

  yesterday, i get a letter in the mail, looks like a business letter/ i open it up and its an invitation from the jw to attend a "special event" at their upcoming assembly here in rochester.

  sounds like they are having an event for non-members now.

  JWs DO NOT cement families - they break them into tiny little pieces.

  So true....so sad.

  Will you still be posting?

  Thank you. I hope to be, but it all depends on where they send me from day to day. I will sure miss having daily access to JWD though. It has been a great experience to be here daily.

  The sun and surf is the tough part. I also like a night or two away, but this stint is 6 months and 13,000 miles away.

  jws celebrate birthdays?!

  i was speaking to a friend last night, trying to explain why i don't go to meetings etc,(waste of time though she just can't seem to understand my point whatever i say), anyway she said as long as i don't d'a myself she can still speak to me.

  she said they only d'f you if you commit a gross sin.

  i refuted this saying if they knew i didn't agree with some of the teachings, sent a fathers day card etc and you weren't sorry they'd get rid of you.

  If they want you out, they will find a way to get you out. It matters not whether it is right or wrong. Full of their own "power".
