How I lost my soul mate.

by Abandoned in

i've shown this to a couple of friends, but i'm ready to widen that audience a bit.

so, without further ado, here's my soul mate story.. i worked with amber and saw her a few times a week.

when i first accepted a lead care position, she was the one who trained me in on med passing and from that first day i worked with her, i was so impressed by how kind and patient she was.

Just attended my first 'Church event' in over 40 years! Maybe two!

by AK - Jeff in

in spite of the fact that i consider myself christian now, post exit of the watchtower religion, i have not attended a single religious event or sermon inside a church since i was 5 years old [1960].

today, we attended the christmas play for my 5 year old g-daughter at the church where she attends pre-school.

i was absolutely ecstatic with the program.

In my area an ancient united reformed church offers free quiet meditation early monday mornings every week. I think I might try that as a first visit back to a church. Love the feeling of old churches. They have a lot of mystery about them.

The same church also has a cafeteria lunch time thing on wednesdays for people to come and talk and eat together.

The amazing thing is that they advertise the above in a local free newspaper. So it is there for everyone

Otherwise Engaged...

by LittleToe in

just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

congratulations to you both

YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW.....BUT...YOU DON'T KNOW!!

by Terry in

the door to door work is a sham.. the central activity of the watchtower bible and tract society is not spreading their so-called "messege" about the kingdom of jehovah established in the heavens in 1914. that's a load of propaganda.. the door to door activity is feckless in producing converts.

in fact, it is an immense failure of mammoth proportions!.

but, it is a diversion.

good post Terry.

The poor oppressed ones the WBTS are defrauding are kept so busy slaving they don't see the truth.

We need to keep on emphasising the point

Name Some JW "Double Standards"

here's one: you can't give blood but you can take a blood fraction (which someone else has to give).

Elderly, sick JWs who need help and care must look to their worldly relatives and the state for support and help but elderly governing body members (posing as anointed ones) must be supported/cared for by JWs.

short story:.

never had a real religious formation until i met the witness in my teenage years.. not everything has been bad but most of my friends there and exwife have been cheaters, liars and hypocrites.... i called it quits this year as i could no longer swallow their truth.

i remarried a supposedly "christian" 23 yr old woman that has shown me how bad things are 'out here'.... regarding her i have a question... those of you that continue to uphold bible's principles and love for our dear creator please advise on the following situation:.

Hi crazito and welcome

I don't have any advice to give you other than to say stick around and give yourself time and space to recover from all the bad things that have happened to you.
