Thanks, SBF and Lois, for great replies. Spot on!
I only recently "discovered" HOUSE and have been doing marathon viewing via NETFLIX. I'm closing in on the final season and wonder what will become of me when I view the final episode . . .
No spoilers, please!

Season 7, Episode 18: "The Dig"
House picks up "Thirteen" -- Dr. Remy Hadley -- upon her release from prison. She asks him to take her to a certain location in order to take care of a personal matter. They pull up to a house in a nice neighborhood, "Thirteen" gets out of the car, walks to the front door, and knocks. A man answers, whom she subsequently knees in the groin. He collapses to the floor; she departs nonchalantly, reenters the car.
"I didn't know you were a Jehovah's Witness," remarks House.
"Yeah, the weak lost faith when Christ didn't return in '75, but I still believe."
House wants to pursue this line of inquiry further, but "Thirteen," like many a good JW, cuts in and says she's starving, and can we get going.
exjw's of a certain age will remember randy's site well.
freeminds was instrumental in waking me up along with ray franz's books.
if net soup and armageddon okies mean nothing to you you're probably under 30.. whatever caused randy to post what he did recently is something i can only guess at but it won't be what i remember him for.. randy, i wish you well and thank you for all you've done over the years .
Thank you, Simon, Randy, and Angharad:
The brother who took me out in service for the first time (1967), in San Francisco, CA, was, likewise, the first to introduce me to "The Free Minds Journal." There, I learned of Simon's website. Like many of you, I became acquainted with Armageddon Okies and Net Soup and WT News. I believe when I clicked onto the News I "saw" Simon for the very first time.
What hit me over the head, however, were the stories of Nils and Sherry Jansma -- dear friends at Bethel -- and of Terry Walstrom. I was incredulous.
Very importantly for me, later, when Randy and I became friends, was his support and enthusiasm for my writing, particularly my thread, "Ask Happy Homemaker!" where I waxed comedic with my experiences, and beyond, as a janitor. He even featured it on his site. I never could thank him enough for his believing in me.
Love to all of you . . .
i was brainwashed to believe you generally shouldn't relax much.. demons can enter you if you meditate or even relax your brain too much for one second.
always be on guard.. scriptures criticizing laziness were repeated often.
https://www.openbible.info/topics/laziness "be kind to yourself" and all that.. you need to strenuously exert yourself for jehoopla and you're worthless if you don't.. most forms of fun were extinguished.
Hi, Rebel8:
I rarely post here due to ongoing PC problems, but your thread is too good to pass up. Hope I make it.
Yes, it's been hard learning to relax, to take time to fix a good meal, to stare aimlessly -- w/o guilt -- into space, to take long and meaningful naps, . . .
When I was an elder/pioneer, paying a mortgage, and raising my children, I had every hour of the day scheduled. I may've allowed a little time to sleep . . . I only now am trying to recall how I managed. You piqued my interest and retrieved "lost" memories.
Now, semi-retired, I have lots of free time and I schedule it enough to feel somewhat organized but certainly not like in the old JW days. I sometimes feel caught between having a life of meaning and one of spinning off helplessly into oblivion.
Well, my tiny offering might end up posting.
Best to all my friends here.
i wish i had read this back when i was 18. it's an amazing take down of religious beliefs, the bible, and religion in general.
) a "reason"-able manner.take this quote, from near the beginning:.
when also i am told that a woman, called the virgin mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, joseph, said that an angel told him so, i have a right to believe them or not: such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it: but we have not even this; for neither joseph nor mary wrote any such matter themselves.
Greetings, Captain:
It lies astride my DELL as I happily type out the full and most apropos title:
THE AGE OF REASON Being An Investigation Of True And Fabulous Theology
Interesting, when applying the definition of "fabulous" in, perhaps, its less understood meaning, i.e., "almost impossible to believe; incredible."
firstly thanks to cofty & smiddy for the kind words on my " final post" .
this post is simply to say over two months have passed since my last post and since then i have with my wife and son seen elton john live, visited stockholm, berlin, and most importantly appreciated " the natural beauty of my neighbourhood" with out even thinking about the watchtower.
i have also attended 3 watford football matches with my son and made better relationships with my parents, discovered harvey's draught beer and made new friends in my local pub.
In agreement with the above and:
Friendship and helping each other on an Internet forum is one of those little things that is really one of those very big things.
Your favorable comments on my writing, The Rebel, have meant much to me. Although I have gotten mostly past the ego aspect of myself at this late date, nevertheless, it is good when someone acknowledges what we do. It was nice, too, your mention of enjoying "the natural beauty of your neighborhood."
Best Wishes.

Had to share something from class . . .
why is it that when a jw gives someone a magazine, they use the word "place" instead of "give"?
as in "i placed a magazine with him".
and why do regular door-to-door jws of no special rank refer to themselves as publishers?
I believe it was mentioned during the ARC hearings that, in Watchtower parlance, Jehovah's Witnesses are found in many "lands."
Query was put forth, why not say "countries"?
in my work, i rely upon google for quick answers on definition (denotation), pronunciation (audio), etymology, shades of meaning (connotation), etc.. what i really mean is, do you use an actual unabridged websters, the one you get a hernia lifting?
i ask because, last night, i was tired of fighting with my two ailing computers and decided to pull the big book off the shelf.
it was great, hearkening back to olden times -- childhood -- when i read real books and periodicals and wrote unknown words into a notepad (the paper sort) and pored over old noah's offerings.. your thoughts?.
Well, of course you do when you need to. In my work, I rely upon GOOGLE for quick answers on definition (denotation), pronunciation (audio), etymology, shades of meaning (connotation), etc.

Your thoughts?
