dear watchtower society:.
due to the fine examples that you placed before me in the form of elders, co's and do's such as brother brandoxxxx, brother jesse cxxx, brother kevin pxxx and others i was thoroughly convinced that we had the truth.. this led to a sincere desire to please jehovah and his son, jesus.
i devoured every issue of the watchtower magazine and spent many sleepless nights poring over the myriad of 192 publications and teaching aids that constantly streamed off the presses in brooklyn, new york.
I think you should send them invisible Thank You cards.
Congratulations and Best Wishes!

hi freedom fighters and peace be with you.suppose jesus held a press conference just before he asscended unto heaven .what would you ask him?.
for instance ".will you be gone long"?
or "could you describe the the shape of the wood"?, "does the name rutherford ring a bell or will that be qosimodo"?,.
See you in 1914. What, you're coming invisibly? How clever.

when i was a jw, my idea of worshipping god was to put in at least 10+ hrs.
in fs monthly, attend 5 mtgs per wk, study for those meetings, make back calls (or what is now called rv's), conduct bible studies, have a family study once a week, pioneer when able, go to all the assemblies, etc.
what, if anything, do you consider worship?.
Good question. Honestly, not much. I do treat others as I want to be treated and the planet as a gift to be treasured and respected. I do not judge others. I do not know what I believe as fad as god and the bible anymore.
By the way, I noticed something....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whenever i would go to conventions, i thought it was weird how at the end of the brothers' talks (especially the older ones like from the governing body or whatever), they would start getting louder and louder and louder.
ie; "in this time of the end, we need to keep on the watch for our adversary satan is roaring about like a lion!!!!
do you agree??".
How else are they going to wake everybody up?

an ex-jehovahs witnesses planted a seed of doubt by stating that she felt to be a good .
witness an individual had to be a conformist.
I was 11 or 12 years old and there was this man washing his car in the driveway of his house. I walked up, introduced myself then tried to sell the "Truth" book to him. And he said, "Do you mean to say if I read that book I will gain everlasting life?" I didn't know what to say so, I just gave him the book and said find out for yourself or something like that. I am 47 now but I can remember this event as if it were yesterday. That was the first time I thought how silly the whole idea was. But, I got baptised a year or two later anyway because 1975 was coming fast.

so its no surprise to most of the people here, but i stretch my earlobes.. and i just reached sort of a big milestone, for me i guess.. i made it to an inch.. that's 25 mm, for you crazy not americans stuck on the metric system.. and considering the original hole was exactly 1 mm in diameter, i just think its cool i increased the size by 25 times.. now if only i could stretch my bank account.. .
That is way too cool. How long did it take your buddy to get his ear lobe like that? It looks like it hurts but to each their own, right? I was 45 years old before I got my first tattoo. At least it won't droop as far!

what is your favorite boose ?
me vodka 100 proof .
i have a running joke i don't drink beer it's to weak.
I can't drink booze, I get too wasted.
I mostly drink Michelob Ultra because I learned how to watch my carb intake.
I have lost 40+ lbs over the past year. I now have a 32" waist where it used to be 38" - 40"!

PS (puff puff is good too but gotta watch out for munchies)
had to take a drive through the country today with the windows down and the stereo up.
spring is amazing!
it brings me back to life after a long winter.
Yes, spring is great here in upstate NY. This week has been very mild, until today. It's snowing right now! Weird, yesterday it was in the mid 60's and today, well, snow. URGH!

very personal and yet it happens way too often, but would you forgive and if you did, how would it change you and the relationship?.
or is it over?.
abr.
After 17 years in a relationship, I found out that my partner was cheating. I did not continue the relationship. Trust is too important and he lost my trust. Now if it were just a one night stand or whatever I might have been able to get over it and move forward but, it was more involved than that and I was told too many lies. I felt stupid and betrayed. So, I had to go. That was 10 years ago and I am still single and a little less gay.
