i'm just finishing up harry potter and the chamber of secrets right now.
one chapter left.
i'll easily finish that before bed.
I just finished reading chamber of secrets too
I don't want to do any spoilers and end up ruining it for anyone, but were you blown away by who opened the Chamber too? OMG! That knocked me on my butt. I thought I had the whole thing figured out and I was wrong on EVERY point.... Great read. She's an AMAZING author.
with all the topics about god and whether he loves us or not....why he was such a meanie in the ot......his habit of flip-flopping from loving to raging to loving again....made me think:.
if the bible god is real, maybe he, too, is evolving spiritually.
maybe when he created us, he thought in "black and white" concepts: i set the rules...you obey them....if you do, i'll be nice and reward you....if you don't, i'll punish the hell out of you (including but not limited to death by stoning).
If God is perfect does that mean that he cannot become more perfect? is he stuck?
OMG! This gives me an AWESOME idea.
I can't say anymore right now, but THANKS for the inspiration.
since i was raised as a jw i have never missed the memorial.. now since i have been df'd i"m not sure whether i will go or not.
my wife is still a jw.
should i go for her sake or not?.
I do figure my mom will be asking if I am going...but she doesnt live here...so no direct pressure...and maybe the congoI am incards are at will call because I will be fresh on the "inactive" list.... probably will be the last ditch effort to drag me back....
Be strong young Snake and cautious as a serpent. Well, that shouldn't be too hard for you to do....
are dub bulbs just a little dimmer than the general population?
here's a little highlight from this week's local service meeting that prompts my question.. it's the annual, 20 minute, robotic hand-pumping session conducted by the secretary trying to get everyone all hyped/guilted up for this summer's district convention.
anyway, towards the end of the q&a, there's a paragraph that talks about offering a ride to the elderly/infirm ones in your congo.
Yea Abandoned, but we were under the same influnces and we broke free????? why can't they see???
I sure don't know all the idiosyncracies that come into play with one person leaving and one person staying, but I think it has to do with each person's ability to lie to themselves. I can't do it. I know when I'm faking something or not being honest with myself and it drives me up a tree until I deal with it. Other people would really rather live a lie then to admit they were wrong or lose face. Maybe something totally different. I don't know.

I'm just finishing up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets right now. One chapter left. I'll easily finish that before bed. So, help me choose what book I read next. I'd love to do the next Harry Potter book, but I can't afford it at the moment. Here are the books I do have:
Suggestions anyone?
I'm laughing so hard I'm having a hard time getting the needle into my arm.
Well be careful, you con't want to spill any of it on the sexually diseased orphans you and your common-law wife live off of.

I hear you "loverof truth" but if that's true why haven't they figured out its all crap like us? If they're as smart as us?
Mind control.
i have laid low from posting here for a bit and was barely here at all to begin with, so most, if not all of you, may not remember me.
i thought i'd let you all in on what just occurred in my cong.
my ex wife was df'd in 2003 for multiple counts of adultery spanning a 7 year stretch.
Edit: Here's what I thought your title was:
Why does it take so long to get reinstated???
So I answered: Because it's a cult. They want you to think that you need to get their approval to receive God's forgiveness. If there is such a thing as God's forgiveness, you can bet it comes from someone named God and not Watchtower.
I have no idea why I read that so wrong.....
since i was raised as a jw i have never missed the memorial.. now since i have been df'd i"m not sure whether i will go or not.

I haven't been to a memorial in at leat six years and I truly could not even begin to imagine the circumstances that would see me attending. Let me think for a second. Hmmmm, nope. Nothing comes to mind.
Coffee_Black, I await anxiously to see whether you will actually be meeting both Cognac and Hypnotic simultaneously. Throughout this entire thread, nowhere have I seen Cognac post that you will be meeting 2 individuals ... only Cognac.
Who else here is required to prove themselves like this? I didn't have to. I've only met around eight people or so from this board. I've never had to bring a friend. This request for the two of them to meet together might make sense if there were a murder mystery we were trying to get to the bottom of and they were the two prime suspects. But seeing as how they just want to talk about their experiences coming out of the cult, maybe we could cut them some slack. Huh?
