  Thanks everyone, feeling alone today.

  lisa - wish I could have hung out at the pool with my friend - but she is the one that turned me in to the elder that I told her I didn't want to talk to about my "concerns".

  Maybe I should have zipped it.

  As I drove off to work I thought "Well this is it, it's official now." I never thought back in May that I would not go to the convention. But what would be the point, I haven't been to one meeting since I found out about the UN.

  I was so excited when I found out that my former congregation was assigned to the same convention as the congregation I have been in for the last 4 1/2 years. My "best friend" and I made reservations for the same hotel and were looking forward to hanging out like the old days.

  It's amazing how fast your life can change in 6-8 weeks. Feeling a little sad thinking about all the people from both congregations that I truly care about. That and the fact that the meetings are really the only thing my husband and I had left that we shared in common.

  I was in no way soliciting an apology on the" R word" thread if that is what you are refering to.

  I also don't believe in forced apologies.

  With that said, compassion costs us nothing and means so much to others.

  My point is that it shows little humanity to make fun of defenseless people whoever they may be.

  ok people we need to talk.. if you put up on this forum the n word, the d word, the c word.....i don't even want to spell them out because i am not going to offend people i care about.

  if you need to know send me a pm.

  you know the words that trigger the gut reactions.

  ((((()))))) HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU (((((()))))) Thank you for this topic.

  I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to not be offensive while pointing out that I was offended.

  I have never been worried about the PC way to say "retarded". Doesn't matter to me if you use that word or "developmentally delayed" or "mentally challenged".

  As the mother of such a child I can tell you that the "spirit" in which the word is used matters more than the actual term.

  I find it extremely hurtful to make fun of helpless people that can't defend themselves.

  The fact that I've only recently discovered that the paradise is a lot of hooey hasn't helped. My son lived until he was 23. He never talked or walked without a walker. He ate food the consistency of baby food and wore diapers his whole life.

  He was a happy, smiling, loving kid with an infectious laugh. And yes, he rode a short bus.

  A PUZZLING QUESTION...????...????...????

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the "sacred secret" of god that creation was yearing to glimpse for so long was jehovah's plan of salvation and righteous government rescue operation.. yet, pagans, heathens and various crackpot primitives all came up with the same plan long before jehovah's was "revealed".

  something smells bad about this!!.

  i find it puzzling.. child sacrifice to appease wrathful deities is a disgusting solution to crop failure.

  I got nuthin' for you Terry. I am just beginning my journey, still reeling from finding out that the "truth" is just lies. Still trying to separate what the Bible really says from what I thought it said.

  I never bought into that "holier than thou" attitude and was often embarrassed when I saw it displayed. I will continue to treat my fellow man with dignity, respect, compassion and love like I have always tried to do.

  I admire you thought process but your question is way too "meaty" for me. I really look forward to seeing the other posts. Very thought provoking, and as your must know from experience, I haven't been around any deep thinkers for a long time.

  Not until I found this oasis.
