psalm 51:17 says, my sacrifice, o god, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, god, will not despise.. .
as the evidence mounts, and fingers are pointed at the governing body for their complicity in the 'child abuse cover ups' ,.
...will they ever get down on bended knee and show truly broken hearts?.
I don't thing they will ever bring themselves to imitate King David by truly repenting of their misdeeds.
Mind you, David was a booger-wooger, but if anyone can read the 51st psalm and still harbor ill-will toward David, I submit that something is wrong with that person.

yesterday, i saw a picture of a family signing kingdom melodies together.
it made me realize a fact that i am somewhat ashamed to admit:.
for over a decade, i have been aware of the false prophecies, the deceptive statements, the lack of scriptural support for many core practices and other issues with the witnesses.
A month ago, I had to borrow my JW sister's car.
There was a cd of the new songs in her player and, boy, were they depressing!
No joyousness, no lightness, no hope.
I didn't want to remove the cd, but I sure was tempted.

i had a fantastic february, went over my sales target by 121 %, did a fabulous school pull out feature (all on my own) wrote a couple of stories that got printed in the paper.
i was go go go in feb. then come march, work forces a technical error issue to arise regarding previous months sales (they don't want to pay me the full 10k) and in order to fight it - takes far too much stress so negotiated an agreement (settling on 7.2k).
that kind of took the wind out of my sails/sales, just haven't felt like selling again, went for another job interview, they offered exactly what i'm getting here and when i tried negotiating they haven't even had the ettiquette to return calls / emails.
LouBelle!
Thinking of you and sending you good vibes.
Blessings.

It's not always the big things that can be jolting; seemingly small things can have the same effect.
I haven't heard many of the new ones, but the ones I have heard sound terrible.
What in the world? Why would they do that?
I've been out for some time now, yet, I still find myself humming "Daily Walking With Jehovah," "Christ Our Exemplar," "Move Ahead," etc.
I came into the organization in 1974 from a previous Baptist background where we sang the old hymns and spirituals a cappella. I memorized ALL the Kingdom Melodies from the little purple? songbook. When the new songbook came out in the 80's, I memorized those, too.
Doesn't the WT realize that memories are tied up in such things? Don't they realize that people are not things with which to be experimented?
What is wrong with them???

my nephew is a graduate of an alabama university and harvard.. he didn't listen to the warnings about seeking higher education, and has a good job.. the elder sunk himself trying to keep his son, who did not apply himself in school, out of prison.. it's a sad situation, but it shows how foolish the wt's directives can be.. sylvia.
Sponging is a good word, Zeb.
I can't see how the elder will pay my nephew back.
Pitiful.

the financial aid offer came in.. the first year of attending is actually cheaper than what we were going to pay at the state university after their scholarship offer.. i mean, really cheaper.. we would be fools to turn it down.. they are even flying him in for the preview week.. .
Wonderful news!
Yes, amen!
