Must have been the Holy Spirit.
Amen to that......LOL
i know what you're thinking.
how can you possibly have fun at the book study?
well, it's easy to have fun with the revelation book, it's so full of forced interpretations and massive holes, you can just rip it apart (subtly, of course) it's also much easier to question things in a smaller group.

I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face if I had to answer. How did you do it?
well have some time so thought to write this.... i went today to uni to speak to my supervisor and he asked me a question that locked me in my chair for few milliseconds.
he asked "where do you see yourself in next 5 years....and beyond that" then he went "... or better still imagine yourself in time 5 years from now, what would you like to have achieved?".
though knowing full well what two 'things' i really wanted to have in my life more than anything i was really locked into this moment almost powerless, because his next question was that 'one inch' punch which blew me off as if struck my bruce lee himself, he asked "...and what are you doing now to make sure that really happens that way?".
Living a happy fulfilling life, after having successfully left the borg far behind.
as many of you know, audesapere (denise) had reconstructive knee surgery last wednesday.
the surgery ended up being quite a bit more involved then she originally anticipated.
she has approximately 5 more weeks walking with crutches and then i believe she will continue with physical therapy.. denise made it through the first several days post-op like a trooper!
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((AUDESAPERE)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I hope you're feeling a bit better.

i know someone who just wrote the wts to tell them exactly what they thought of what's been going on.
this is a person in good standing and is active.
they know what's going on, they believe some of the doctrines, but are very unhappy about the scandals and the bs that has been going on.. they didn't sign their name or say which kh they go to.. so it got me thinking.... how many lurkers do we have here?
That's a really good point BSoM. I've often thought about this myself, but I think I would find it hard to be objective, (think I'm still in my angry phase). I also thought that we could annonymously leak it to the papers about all the pedophile databases the wts have and the fact that none of the people in these congs are being warned that they have child abusers in their midst.
i want to thank all of you for all your thoughtful pms.
i'll respond to them in time but can't at the moment.
i wanted to just check in and let you know that i'm doing relatively ok. the confrontation with my parents was a bit sticky.
Emotional Intelligence go with it
i still remember this one.
i must have been about 6 years old.
we lived in an old house and i had the same dream?
Recently I keep having a recurring dream that i've been forced to go back in. I wake up and think it's real....ugh
'if not, you better get them out to preach six hours a day during summer break!!'.

today mum and stepdad went away for about a week, i went to their home knowing that while they were away i could steal it for a bit (they didnt agree to this)...anyway i put my already bent key in the door...wont open...i kicked it a few times...wont open...your thinking "i know where this is going, the door comes down" .
i totally buggered the lock, my key snapped inside right at the top so most of its in the lock.
i iz dead!.
i could hope they dont notice lmao but i think maybe jehovah could tell them in a dream before i get chance to think of some good excuses.
they could look on the bright side tho, at least the front door is almost burglar proof now.
LMAO! So really you did them a favour.
