Everyone has a song

by Wordly Andre in

jw

everyone has a song that reminds them of a particular moment in their lives, happy or sad or sometimes indifferent.

its only that when you hear that song it takes you back even catching you off guard and suddenly your back in high school or remembering someone you loved and lost.

how many of you have a song that reminds you of leaving the org.

i am angry because my adult children who are active jw's think i should be dead or suffer for not being a witness and i supported them comfortably and they shunned me and show hate i am sad and probably won't do the chemo thing and just let nature take its course.

any ideas?

i am taking pain meds so this is probably messed up with my message help.

Oh hambeak, don't give up now! You've come so far. You have someone who cares about you unconditionally and his family. I can understand the hurt you are feeling. But don't let them win. They (JW's) think you leave the truth and your life goes down hill. But that is not the case! We are living and loving life because we are free of their hypocrisy.

You have so many years ahead of you to live your life and be happy. Don't let someelses cold-heartedness, mean-spirted nature, and unloving attitude be your deciding factor for how you spend the rest years on this earth.

I agree with Scully get a living will!

What's your present belief ?

.

without attacking anyone for their beliefs, feel free to state what you believe in right now.. personally, i still believe in a higher power, a creator, call him jehovah if you wish, a god that will put things back right eventually.

Just trying to be a good person by following the golden rule. Do unto others as you shall have them do unto you. It's simple but I think it works.

What do you remember better baptism or un-baptism

by JimWood in

jw
friends

i dont remember the exact date of my baptism, it was in the spring the first assembly held at the henrietta assembly hall (rochester, ny).

i dont remember much about that weekend.

i do, however, remember the exact day and time that my wife and i left.

earthtone

I remember my baptism, it was May18, 1996. I started to doubt in 2003, but keep going thinking it was because I was inactive that I was questioning my belief. That I had lost my relationship with Jehovah. But July 23. 06, after attending the district Convention and hearing them talk about independant thinking (alarms ringing) and How Jehovah loves the elderly (still waiting on D-day), I was kinda disguisted. I didn't feel it anymore, so I got on the internet and here I am. HOME, SWEET HOME!

Feelin So Good by Jennifer Lopez - It's exactly how I feel about leaving the borg and living my life and I play it every moring to remind to be grateful that I'm free

When I opened up my eyes today
Felt the sun shining on my face
It became so clear to me that everything is going my way
I feel like theres no limit to what I can seeGot rid of fears that were holding me
My endless possibilities
Has the whole world opened for meThats why Im feeling...
Chorus: Im feeling so good
I knew I would
Been taking care of myself
Like I should
cause not one thing
Can bring me down
Nothing in this world gonna turn me round...
Now the day is turning into night
And everything is still going right
Theres no way you can stop me this time
Or break this spirit of mine
Like the stars above Im gonna shine
Anything I want will be mineTonight Im gonna have a good time
Call a few friends of mine
cause Im loving lifeAnd tonights for feeling...

Women in the Org.

by snarf in

does anyone know of any links or have any info on women's role in the congregation and why the jw are either right or wrong?

i always felt they were wrong, but it was always just a gut feeling.

does anyone have any info on if any women held positions of authority during the bible times concerning a congregation.

earthtone

I'm sure after I post the thread will be kilt, it's usually what happens.lol. But I'll still have my say!

I especially feel bad for women who take that let the man lead mentality home with them. They have to put up with so much crap and accept it because, the man is our spirtual head and we should heed his counsel. When I think of all the women who are abused by their husband and try to seek help and all the get from the elders is a " perserve in pray" type of counsel, I get really pissed!
