I need some friends...
by lilyflor in
1. jw
2. friends
being a born-in i don't have much friends, in or out of the org., add to that the fact that i have been a stay at home mom for the last 4 years has made it even harder to meet anyone.

(i found out the truth about the wts shortly after deciding to stay home).

if you would like to be a facebook friend, please pm me and i will send you my email address.

since when did Jehovah become a common name?

2. beliefs
growing up in the troof, my mom used to tell me that no one else in the universe had the name jehovah.

i remember her even recounting an experience where a catholic couple wanted to name/baptize their son jehovah and the priest counselled against it.

now i see all sorts of people with the name jehovah, on facebook, in the news and even in other languagues (the portuguese version jeova).

hat tipping and rising when a woman leaves the table or enters a room......wt52 april 15 qfr.

i dare say satan's ways are as mysterious as god's.

(i now have to wonder if letting a woman on or off the elevator first is part of satan's schemes).

greek word for word: "in a beginning was the word, and the word was with the god, and a god was the word.".

I would prefer my children to die than to have them Df'd
by lilyflor in
1. jw
2. experiences
i was still in the "troof" a couple of years ago when my mom said that to my face, in front of my husband no less.. he was a jw as well, he couldn't believe it.

my reply was "well i will give my life to save my children and if god sees fit to punish me for that - that's his choice".
