my wife was looking through some old diary`s that we have lying around and found a ph.# of an old friend (jw) that we knew over 15 years ago .we were always curious as to what has happened to her as she was a dear friend for many years when we were in the "truth".
so she rings the number (,do you still have the same # that you had 15 yrs ago ?
) and this friend was a bit of a "gypsy" type so she wasn`t expecting much when she rang.. to cut a long story short we all had a good conversation we had been trying to find out about her all these years with no success and she was also trying to find out about us all these years with no success ,we had moved interstate.. nothing was said about religion though i suspect she is still associated with the borg.
So I bite my tongue and keep my mouth shut.-- smiddy
Thanks for the update, smiddy. That's right, some just don't care and are happy to be reunited. Interesting how we have so many other things to discuss. I never would have believed life w/o religion would be possible, yet here we are in our new lives!
Best wishes to you and mrs. smiddy.

last night, i watched a cool road movie, the trip, with steve coogan and rob brydon.
they were counseled by steve's dad to take an "anticlockwise" route home, rather than the clockwise one steve had proposed.
Thank you so much, everyone, for contributing to this thread!
With gratitude.

Thanks, Diogenesister!
You mean the blocks, plural, are called LEGO? Like we wouldn't say sheeps? I would never have thought, yet I have always wondered why "you" say maths!

Thanks, mes amis, for scion, quagmire, donnybrook, subitize, Uncleclockwise, and the German words . . . BRILLIANT!
my belief in prayer was once bolstered by my strong attachment to what i had read in aid to bible understanding.
my having a part in its initial prep in the factory and, later, a detailed proofing of thousands of references to it made this bible dictionary an influence in my former life.

was the Aid book Ray Franz's work? -- LV101
I believe so, along with Charlie Ploeger and others. Ed Dunlap wrote Commentary on the Book of James. So sad and wrong what happened to such dedicated brothers.

P.S. CoCo, did you see what I did there with reference to the Aid to Bible Understanding publication? -- Tara N Seals
That you read every entry, from the very first to the very last?

As a believing JW, I think I swallowed the explanation. I reasoned that it fit well with the JW teaching that Jah was going to fix all problems in the future and that it wasn't time yet to fix all problems (issue of universal sovereignty, etc.). -- Magnum

Why does Jah permit this and remain silent? Why can’t he alleviate this suffering? -- EverApostate
