Wow, undercover, you have a very diverse taste in music! (I love me some Emmylou....and of course, the ever socially aware Lennon!)
Sylvia, both of those were beautiful. (Great songs for a wedding!)
unshackled, Air Supply---yes!! (Brought back some old memories ;-)
You can NEVER go wrong with Tim and Faith! Thanks, caliber. (Liked the George Sand quote, too....so true.)

a drinking party?
tee hee hee.. syl.
Sylvia, I just posted on Terry's thread about questions to ask the GB. I suggested a seminar, then read your thread, and went back and changed it to symposium....thanks for giving me a better word, Ms. Wordstar :-)
this morning, my son texted me :.
"i had the most real, intense dream about great grampa xxxxx last night.
we were talking, laughing, making jokes.
These kinds of dreams are such a blessing. I have them occasionally, and when I do, I am so thankful and appreciative.
only when you realize you don't have all the answers.
if you think you know why would you investigate?.
look at the jehovah's witness mindset.
Wouldn't it be great if once or twice a year, the governing body held a symposium where anyone in the audience could ask any question they wanted with no repercussions? The GB could sit in nice comfy chairs facing the audience and just have a sort of town hall discussion. Your 7 questions, Terry, would be a good place to start.
mistake number one for faders, df'd and apostates: caring what the folks at the kingdom hall think of you.. they are your "friends", right?
sorry to break it to you.
they are not friends.
I totally agree. Yet, they think the same thing about us: "If you can abandon Jehovah and his people so easily....If you're not willing to endure to the end with us...If you have lost the love for God's arrangement and allowed apostate thoughts to take over....you are not a true friend."
It is a heartbreaking conundrum.
in real life, i do not ask people questions.. i don't look like the avatar of minimus.. i am very personable and well liked.. and....i'm pretty discerning, should i say so myself..
How can one answer your question, minimus? We have to have feedback on what it is we appear to be? We only know how we ARE, not how we appear to be to someone else?
i dont know how many times i have thought i had purged my life.
of all the wts litter-ature, only to find that crap still taking up room.
in storage... .
I remember as a child, my parents talking about hiding literature behind the trim around inside doors or making some kind of secret space in the wall to put a Bible (the Green One, of course) just in case the persecution starts and "they" come to the house to confiscate our literature and bibles! Sheesh! Living with that kind of paranoia has got to do a number on you!!!
But, I wonder how many other JW families did this. Can you imagine buying a house and remodeling it only to find a ton of WT and Awake pages folded neatly and hidden behind the trim? LOL!

I have been out of it for years and years and a few days ago, I found an old Kingdom Ministry in the bottom of an old antique bread box I had used to store odds and ends. I'm in the process of streamlining and minimizing my surroundings. No telling what else I'm going to find! (The weird thing is, I haven't thrown it away....it's like a reminder to remember....WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
ShirleyW is right, Sylvia. This one is German:
Hit twas goot.Yah? (Am I right?)
