so dear friends here is the latest news about hubby's heart by- pass.. the doctor spoke with us both this evening and marco will have the surgery in a week and a half.. he is holding his own and the doctor hopes he won't have another heart attack before surgery.. there are many people that are involved with a heart team.

and so that is why we have to wait to get organized in everry way.

marco is still weak and is constantly tired.

3RD WITNESS RAMBLINGS
by whereami in
1. jw
2. friends
many believe that defending the jehovah's witnesses or praising it for the accomplishments of the organization is idolizing the wt.

but aren't we really praising jehovah when we praise what the organization has accomplished.

perhaps someone does not follow their praise of the organization by saying how jehovah deserves the credit but no doubt many understand that that is to be assumed.

Were you a non-spiritual JW?
by moshe in

2. friends
i sure tried to act spiritual in the beginning of my jw life.

i could go through the motions of being a good jw, but i just never could get turned on with being spiritual.i gave great talks and when i was an elder i could fill in for a no-show and never miss a beat.

however, my wife at the time always complained that we didn't do the family study or study the wt lesson ahead of time.

My Spiritual Awakening has turned to........
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
general apathy about religion.. i don't know precisely when it happened.

but at some point i began to stop needing anything 'organized' in my life religiously.

not too long ago - as attested to by multiple threads i started here - i was still wishing to replace the ritual of religion at the kingdom hall with some other church.

the tribulation is really starting to speed up it's pace.

i just read that atleast 3 types of animal and plant life go extinct every hour.

global warming threatens the entire planet, crimes against women and children are at a all time high, honeybees dying off for unexplained reasons, the threat of nuclear war, the ravage of infectious disease.

New Stupid Assembly Rules
by WTWizard in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.

some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.

i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.

2. experiences
i have been reading this board for about 4 years.

after 38 years of being a baptized jehovah's witness, i did some research on the internet and found enough evidence to quit.

that was 4 years ago and i am so much happier now.
