If you were a JW or for you JW Lurkers who will never leave.....

by A-Team in

if the rapture ever did happened, and you were left behind.

what do you think your reaction would be, and what do you think teh watchtower reaction be?

onlycurious

Abandoned, I thought you were a believer. Am I wrong or is that just your humor shining through? :)

I'm hoping for rapture to be before all the yucky stuff. I've got little ones to care for and don't do well with that sort of thing.

It's now official: I've "turned apostate."

by Confession in

thumbnail details: lifelong jw and former elder with 30 family members in.

came to realize it wasn't the truth at age 38, just over two years ago.

have been fading with my 19 year old daughter, making two, major, long-distance moves.

I am glad to see you have your daughter with you. Family is so important and the fact that your ex is taking a stance too is amazing.

Blessing to you in your firm standing.

Looking to Lose Weight in 2007?

many of us make this a priority after the holiday's to take off a few extra pounds.. i had a baby in august of 2005 and have a handful (or more) of extra around the mid-section and vowed last new year's that i was going to get fit and take off the poundage.. well, here it is january of 2007 and i think i weigh a bit more than i did last year.

geez, age + baby + sugar addictions = a big problem (lol).

so, i found a new 'way of eating' that blows my mind.

onlycurious

I would imagine the 'no coffee' thing might be tough for some. For me...it's chocolate and the occasional beer craving.

But, there is hope! Once you see the amazing results, the coffee might not be as important. Plus, you would be surprised how much more energy you will have after you get through the 1st week of torture. lol

Ouch, this reminds me of the first decade of Christian pop music in the 80's or so. Low budget, low quality.

For those of you who are not apposed to God, you may find The David Crowder Band of interest.

I have seen him in concert 2x and he is a phenominal worship leader. No fluff, it's just heartfelt musice and he sets it straight.

I won't mention the name of the product but a friend of mine signed up to be a direct sales distributor for a company that has a great product that is working well for her figure.

Many people purchase this and have great results. I bought $130.00 plus in product to help support her in her business adventure.

The bad thing was, once I started taking it I realized it was just a glorified diet pill regimine. That's a nightmare waiting to happen! It had caffeine in it and suppressed the appetite. I should have done more research and bought myself a new outfit with that money. lol

You are right...I have to buy food anyway. Somersizing is a no-brainer to me and I personally love to eat so this works for me. No more rabbit food.

So, I found a new 'way of eating' that blows my mind. It's all about food combination and I can eat gourmet, richly delicious foods and I don't deprive and starve my body.

AND, I can eat fruit and healthly carbs.

Seriously, I am sharing this with anyone out there that really wants to improve their health and doesn't have 15 billion extra hours to work out. Or maybe you don't even LIKE to work out. I personally hate to sweat and this 'eat whatever I want' mode isn't working for me now that I pumped out 4 kids and hit 30 yrs old. Ugh.

So, are you ready? It's called Somersizing and it works. It's a LIFE change, not a diet. I've lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks. One of my friends lost 60 lbs since May and my other friend lost over 70 lbs in 6 months and he's keeping it off.

Check it out. You can look up the Somersizing literature online or just pm me and I can share more details.

DoomsDay as near as 2007

by TopHat in

i was shocked my sister-in-law actually believes this doomsday nonsense.. http://www.satansrapture.com/bannedbook.htm.

onlycurious

All you former jw's should know that spreading the terrible news of the end is one tactic to bring in the masses....or at least attempt to.

I don't listen to this kind of guy. Did it for too long and it gave me anxiety attacks no doubt.

Serious Question....as I am scratching my head on this one

by onlycurious in

what happened to all the people who died before c.t.

russell?

for thousands of years, there were no j.w.'s.

onlycurious

Thank you.....this leads my to another question.

Apparently there are people who 'know' they are one of Jehovah's annointed. My jw friend said if you have to ask if you are one of the 144,000 then you aren't. It's that simple.

She said she knows one of the 144,000 and you can just tell. By the way, this is a woman who is part of the elite crowd.

Is this what is taught, that you will just 'know'?

What happened to all the people who died before C.T. Russell? For thousands of years, there were no J.W.'s. Then poof, new doctorine, a new religious sect I suppose and now only a 144,000 get the big seat in heaven.

How do they explain that, or is it that nobody asks the question?

i went to my dad's house for christmas.

it was the first christmas we celebrated together since i was 5 years old.

it was my kid's and [freedomloverr's] very first christmas ever.. .

((((((( IthinkIsee))))))))

Despite the conversation you had with your sister, I do hope you had a wonderful Christ-filled Christmas.

Perhaps your gift was freedom?

Know that you are loved and there are another set of footprints walking right beside you even when you don't see them.

And when you are really down, he will carry you along the way.
