i never loved the beatles.
i especially didn't care all that much for john lennon.. bob dylan, i never got his appeal!.
any songs that just didn't do anything for you?.
I never like the Beatles, and the song, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is like fingernails on a chalkboard. My mom told me that that song was popular when she was pregnant with me and had morning sickness the whole time. Strange....
And since I'm officially old and crotchety, I can't stand rap by any one at all!
if anyone wants to meet up for drink i am flying in on the 14th and going back on the 16th, staying in the courtyard by marriott.
would love to say "hi" to any apostates in the area..
Will do!
"[we] have conquered the world!".
today, we live in a time unlike any other in human history.
the world governments have fallen, and no human authority now prevents jehovah's anointed ones from beginning their peaceful rule over mankind.
He's baaack!!!!!!!

Do you mind if I post on FB about you being at JFK on the 16th?
i got a text from my mom when i got into work today saying that a brother i've known for a while had died.
he was a bethelite and they found him dead in his room.
he was the same age as me.
So sorry for your loss. My stepson is 23...I can't even imagine the magnitude of this loss to that poor kid's family and friends.
i wanted to tell my story for sometime.
i've been a member of jwn for a few months and a lurker even longer.
here's my story.
I find it interesting that your mother committed adultery, and you did as well. Without knowing all of the details, I suspect you have some issues to explore and settle. That being said, you have a legitimate excuse for NOT jumping back on the Watch Tower wheel.

You're going to be only 35 miles from NYC. Any chance you'll visit th BIG Apple? Kyria Lydia Abraham lives there. Also there are meetup groups there. See this link:
apparently, the society knows exactly when the great tribulation is going to break out, but they're only letting the public know through subliminal messages in their images.
here's a new chain letter that's being passed around between witnesses:.
(daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45).
It hit in 2004, backed off in 2011, and hit again in 2012. What is that supposed to indicate?
Maybe the stone is really a ping pong ball.
for the first time in my life i have lost someone close to me that i loved very much.
my brother died last week of an asthma attack.
i just got back from the funeral that was held yesterday.
I'm so sorry for your loss! Being an agnostic, I don't have an athiest's answer for you. But all living things that I know of are recycled after death. So why not a person's spirit? No one knows for certain whether there is life after death. So the way I look at it is, if there is, then great! If there isn't, I won't know anyhow. This idea has gotten me through loss. I really don't mean to sound flip.
Welcome to JWN, and please excuse the inside joke I'll be sharing with older forum members:
I'm writing a paper on JW for my religion class, and I was thought it would be nice to have input from current or previous members.
Ah, where's Andre when you need him? LOL!
Bold is mine.
But seriously, why not interview exjws first and ask them for examples of Watch Tower beliefs, doctrine, and practices as described in Lifton's Eight Criteria for Thought Control? http://www.cultrecover.com/pdfs/lifton8criteria.pdf
Then, if current jws will talk to you, interview them and ask how the examples given by ex-jws aren't true. It could be the focus of your paper.
