i was really excited about it and got up early to salute to the sun, cat to the ceiling and baby to the carpet (yoga).
I loved how your wrote your experience! Very well written...
You should write a book!
I love your poppy spiderweb....it's perfect
i was thinking about all the various people who the bible says have been killed by jehovah or his angels for various acts of disobedience.
here are a few of the ones i thought of....feel free to add your own eating a piece of fruit (slow death, 930 years) picking up some sticks on the sabbath preventing the ark of the covenant from falling when the guy carrying it stumbles living in a city where your family has lived for generations, in a region where jehovah has "given" the land to his "chosen" people dancing for your victorious warrior father, not knowing he has vowed to offer the first one out of the house as a burnt offering.

Inspires one to love him, doesn't it?? Just makes one feel all warm and fuzzy inside...
.....no wonder there are so many articles and talks on fearing Jehover....
recently one of my brothers was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder by a psychiatrist.
this has hit me hard emotionally because out of the whole bunch we are the closest.
i've always suspected something was up.
My Aunt was diagnosed 7 years ago, has been on lithium since then, and it keeps her very even keel. I dont know all the side effects, but i do know one: you must drink alot of water because it can make you constipated.
She really appreciates her meds, as she had crazy wild swings before on them...now she can lead a successful and normal life. It doesnt make you sleepy or drugged up. just keeps you balanced. i'll get more info from her and let you know more.
my fathers arguement is always that the fds is not inspired so their humanity causes them to get things wrong.
they are merely spirit directed.
i realized a main flaw in this arguement last night.
When doctrines have to be scrapped, the friends are reminded that the "slave" is not inspired, and thus makes mistakes. Okay, fine. But intellectually honest people would not demand that their fellow Christians give unquestioning agreement and submission to uninspired teachings that are subject to change. The inspired apostles themselves didn't even show such flagrant arrogance.
Arthur,
That is one of the best explanations of WHY the FDS is wrong that I have read.
Thank you for putting it so eloquently simple! Exactly right.
it wouldnt work for me all day.
i missed you guys.
dont neglect me so badly lol.
My theory was that the computer geeks (at the direction of the WTS) at Brooklyn did some hackin'......but it was probably just down for maintenance?
sorry to still be talking about the memorial but i have been busy.
well i wanted to tell you about this.
you know from my avatar and comments that i have been looking into religions and their descriptions of ufos and extraterrestrials in their holy books.
I don't have a relationship with Jehovah and Jesus like the anointed brother you speak of. I don't have a calling like that. Earth is home to me, after all.
Fred,
that is how I felt.
Earth will always be home to me...I think we humans will travel the universe one day, but Earth will always be home.
LOL! had to save it and look really closely to figure it out....
