good morning !

i hope i didn't wake you up this morning.

my friend and i just happened to be walking in your neighbourhood and wanted to share a nice thought with you, taken from the bible.. 21jesus said to him: if you want to be perfect, go sell your belongings and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, and come be my follower.

Favorite Ice Cream

by poppers in

jw
friends

i'm just wondering what everyone's favorite brand and type of ice cream is.

i recently have been able to eat dairy products after having my gall bladder removed.

i always thought i was lactose intolerant, but all along it was my g.b.

Frequent_Fader_Miles

I usually make my own ice cream.

French Vanilla is my favourite of the store-bought flavours, but out of the many home-made ones I've tried, I'd say the white chocolate's my favourite.

Thinking of becoming a Witness again and my reasons for doing so :(

by reniaa in

i've been a faded jw for 10 years i left because of my failed first marriage, i'm no hypocrite and realised i had left completely so i embraced the world and dived in, only christmas and birthdays i could not get into, they were too foreign to me having never celebrated them, like if i suddenly tried to do ramadan or something like that.. 1/ all the criticisms of the people in the truth you say on here, i've found in the world, warts and all only in the world nothing holds them back from being utterly horrible to you.. 2/ i got stabbed by a worldly boyfriend, i got married 2 times of my own choosing to men outside the truth, the first smoked and was an alcoholic, the second gambled every penny we had and defrauded me out of money after we separated, 2 divorces later i am currently pregnant and a single mum since current boyfriend decided kids was to much of a responsibility and he needed his freedom and i was 'too selfish to expect him to give up his life'.. 3/ parents-in-law!

i have been shunned by them as equal to anything you accuse witness families of and for the silliest of reasons, i had a disabled son and his grandparents said they wanted nothing to do with him because they didn't want to become attached in case he died.. 4/ i miss the honest friendships of the truth, i had friends of all ages from 14 to 80 years old and they genuinely cared for me, many trying to keep me in the faith a long time after i left but i was determined to fade so moved away completely, but i find friendships in the world so shallow in comparison and very hard to sustain :( i've never been a drinker and sometimes thats what friendship means you being a companion for them to goto pub with.. 5/ my recent boyfriend was in a christian religion, i thought why not find out about it, harvest churches if you ever heard of them, unfortunately it still hasn't stop him leaving me pregnant and alone and when i said to him how does he clear that with god, he replies "as long as i repent it doesn't matter" it's like he has a "get out of jail free card" for any wrong-doing in the bible, this is so alien to me and my witness trained conscience.. 6/ i recently out of frustration tried looking into atheism and joined their forums, it wasn't fun, they are as bombastic and arrogant as their religious counterparts can be from any religion, they make a religion out of not believing in god, it's very weird they talk of saving people from believing in god and offer nothing to replace it.

they said to me "be happy you are in reality now and enjoy it" and i thought "well if this is reality i've had enough of it".

Thankyou layinglow, crusoe and joelybear and chikie my sister,

I'm still stuck knowing it's jehovah that I believe in, or more precise the God of the bible, so if I break it down into a simple question? how can I find a religion that expressies that in me? your point are cool crusoe but I'm not ready to abandon that yet.

I certainly haven't ever focussed on armegaddon my thoughts are for the reality of living with the here and now in religion.

Why do the majorityof JW's look so happy at the hall?

by JH in

jw
friends

each time i go, i see a bunch of happy people, young and old.

some smile more than others, but just about everyone seems happy to be there.. maybe we left because we weren't that happy, rather than finding flaws in the religion.. maybe they look happy because they aren't allowed to look sad..

Frequent_Fader_Miles

One elder I knew told the group that if they didn't look happy then we were no displaying Jehovah's holy spirit in our lives.

Exactly!! And, of course you know their solution to discontent and unhappiness in Jehovah's service ... DO MORE!!

How many do you think actually wanted to do more? Solution .... keep up the false smile and feign happiness.

Dubs and doorbells -- has there been some "new light"?

by parakeet in

this afternoon my husband looked out the window and saw two unmistakable dubs shuffling up our street.

he didn't have time to warn me before they came to our door (he knows i get a bit testy whenever they visit).

i was in a nearby room, but heard nothing, saw nothing.

Sounds like they were engaged in the same old FS technique to me ......
