  But, trying to keep an open mind, I've done a little research on the web and found many sites on Ghost photography, where orbs and other paranormal activity is captured on film. (Here's an example of what I found. http://www.ghostweb.com/free.html )

  We have been taught that "the dead are concious of nothing at all". But, do we "live" on after our bodies die? Does anyone else believe that these orbs or apparitions are real? Just curious.

  My Finale on the Internet - Forword to 3 Parts

  life is tough regardless of whether we were ever jws.

  my own life has taken some twists and turns i did not expect or like ... and i have to focus all my attention now on getting my badly needed open-heart surgery or face death in about six months ... so in the next couple of days, i am making the last of three posts for a while ... then all my efforts will be aimed at getting better, and facing some issues in my life and making the best decisions possible for me and my family.

  i decided to limit many activities because i tend to do too much and neglect some things that i should not ... this is not a good-bye post, but more of a long vacation post.

  hit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.

  sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.

  none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.

  I got to say, Moe (Amanda) makes some pretty valid points.

  Dude. IF you are indeed falling on hard times, I am sorry. Many people in here know what that feels like. I've had to go into "survival" mode more times than I cared to. I sucks having to feed a family of 4 with only 10 bucks for the week. But somehow, everything worked out. You work at Walmart. They have Ramen Noodles for as little as 13 cents. They have 10 pack of Oscar Meyer Hot Dogs for $1.50. Hey beggars can't be choosers.

  But it seems to me that you have an excuse and story for everything. Sorry, your crediblity is in the crapper. I had to survive without a phone during my lean times, YOU still have Internet access. What good is internet access if you don't have a house to live in?

  If you were indeed worried about your mortgage, the last thing on your mind would be posting nasty things about Bro Simon's ego as pointed out by him earlier in this thread.

  You are not asking for help with a humble heart, therefore I don't believe you really need help.

  Just my opinion based on my observations.

  Poster desperately needs support and assistance

  the jehovahs witness church took away all my ability to speak normally to, and to interact normally,with girls.

  because of this i have an issue with sex and feel very sorry for myself, believing i have been deprived of a normal, sexually promiscuous, youth.

  this has caused me much pain and suffering,and many sleepless and unhappy lonely nights in my life.

  WT goofie phrases.

  2. friends

  i used to get into trouble for making light of the these phrases that some elders have told me are to be used only gods people.

  lol that you all may know maybe:.

  "well, brother that is very "commendable," just before the meeting ends the po says to those in attendance "brothers the time left is reduced," i once heard a co say to those seated during one of his talks "well now, we don't want to die at armageddon now do we, well of course not.

  I always hated "Praise Jah, you people"

  It's bad enough that they constantly say Jehovah this or Jehovah that, but then they have to call Him by is "nickname" Jah, like he was one of the boys. I always thought that the abbreviation "Jah" was disrespectful. Yeah, but a certain PO didn't appreciate it very much when I went up to him and called out "Hey Bill". I was sternly reminded that its BROTHER B______. I just said, "Praise Jah, It's good enough for him, right?" Apparently, he didn't think so.

  Others that come to mind.

  Jehovah's happy people.

  I'm going to Auxiliary Pioneer this summer.

  Be obedient to the Org.

  You posted on thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=41566&site=3 the following comment:

  Last time I saw a child being beaten was outside the Kingdom Hall at the side of the building. The father was spanking the child's behind so hard it sounded like a hammer hitting a nail.

  You say you are deaf. How would you know what it sounded like?

  Just curious.
