  bigdreaux, I'm at work and right now I'm telling about your reply to kW re keeping the field service donation money.

  We're having a good laugh about it, too.

  I will be checking in from time to time to make sure you're walking the line.

  Do You Recognize Your Baptism?

  i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

  (live forever book, pg.

  154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.

  Yes, I do. I dedicated myself unreservedly to the Most High God to do His will, and symbolized that dedication by undergoing water baptism on October 13, 1974.

  I affirmed that I would continue to seek His will under the enlightening power of the Holy Spirit. Well, the Holy Spirit has enlightened me to the true nature of the WTS. That is why I have obeyed the call to COME OUT OF HER!

  I Believe She's Trying to Get me Disfellowshipped!

  i've tried to be nice about it, perhaps i'm just a little too nice when dealing with her.

  ok, my ex-fiancee started blowing up my phone again and leaving voicemails.

  i considered changing my number weeks ago but changed my mind when her calls stopped but i might need to consider it now.

  Tell her you are going to the police if the harassment doesn't stop. If she continues to call, make sure you document each and every call, then sign a warrant for her arrest for harassing communications. It is only a misdemeanor, true, but that might jolt her to her senses. You shouldn't have to put up with her craziness.

  She's only behaving this way because you are moving on with your life. She can sense the positive change in you, and she doesn't like it. Little heifer!!!

  Ecclesiastes 5:12 The sleep of a laborer is sweet,
  whether he eats little or much,
  but the abundance of a rich man
  permits him no sleep.

  Dare I say more?

  they are mouthy, sassy, awake and watching;.

  choosing life, free to think, not so quietly leaving;.

  The book of Exodus is total B and S

  by 5go in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  out of egyptthe two primary books of the old testament genesis and exodus refer to 'pharaoh' 155 times.

  curiously, not once in either book is pharaoh identified by name and yet, in fact, the references are to many different pharaohs, across many centuries.

  the anomaly is all the more telling in that the holy books are not lacking in naming numerous sundry and incidental character.

  I brought this back state that there are no fools on JWD. We are all trying, as my Jamaican-born estranged husband would say, to pick sense out of nonsense. True, we were all to some extent blinded by the WTS, but does that give us the right to call each others fools or some other names simply because we state something that we honestly believe?

  Isn't that what discussion and dialogue are all about? Doesn't it betray a lack of confidence in your own stance on issues if you resort to such tactics? These are things we all need to think about. Thanks for letting me vent.

  i'm not much of a picture taker, and i just decided out of nowhere that it would be cool to take some pics.

  i'll also say that i had no fancy camera, just my picture phone lol!

  The two pics of the statues are of the "Little Rock Nine". If you don't know who they are then research it.

  No need for research here, Little Brother. What happened to those nine students who tried to enroll at Central High in Little Rock in 1959 is a study in shame. One of the ladies, I understand, still suffers from PTSD. Of course, skin color or social status has no monopoly on blind hatred. Also, there is no religion that can boast of not having racial distinctions. Research into the history of the WTS proves that beyond a doubt.

  I love your pictures. Have you thought of a career as a writer/photographer a la Gordon Parks?
