but it's worth another read because it can be a much needed reminder.
we're all running in the same race, we're here to help each other.. .
subject: jehovah will never let go.
That's the kind of stuff that would have had me misty eyed at the least, and I would have copied it and sent it in cards to "depressed ones". I was a really thoughtful JW. Ask me how many calls and cards I've gotten in the last 4-5 months since I quit attending meetings.
Reading that actually made me feel sick.
were you a note taker?
did you truly listen??
were you a daydreamer?
I took notes at almost all public talks and every talk at assemblies. I even sat towards the front so I wouldn't get distracted. Towards the end I went to the restroom a lot, out of boredom, there was always someone there that I could chat with for 20-30 minutes.
parents don't get a moral pass.
toronto star, canada - 3. even the discovery that their parents were devout jehovah's witnesses and is there any other kind of watchtower congregant?
raised only faint alarm ... rosie [email protected] the author.
Danny - your zeal astonishes me. I am so proud of you and I don't even know you.
i heard it on the radio last night.
i was going to post it on the other 'should marijuana/cannabis be legalised' thread - but since this case involved alcohol as well, you can't be sure which 'drug' if either was a contributor to this sicko's actions.. i'm not going to post the full story here as some may find the details distressing.
it basically involved a guy who had been smoking weed and drinking who denied a dying woman any dignity in her final hours.
How sick is that?
I will be the same age as that poor woman on my next birthday. I cannot imagine being treated like that.
The part that bothers me the most is imagining what that would do to my children and grandchildren. Knowing that a stranger did that to someone they love, as if dying was not bad enough.
i'm not a big fan of surgery.
i always exhaust all non-surgical options before doing it.
i know enough about medicine to know that surgery is effectively a controlled injury... and that makes me nervous.
O U C H ! Is god punishing you for your evil apostate ways?
If so then we better all watch out.
FEEL BETTER SOON.Glad you've got help, we'll be here waiting to hear from you.
AND... don't worry, it'll be over before you know it. Best of luck.
cleveland your proud to be from one of the shittiest biggest cities in the u.s. -it's only soda if it's orange soda, otherwise it's pop.
-it's dinner, not supper.
-if you get the head nod, you know you are part of the crew.
I met George Clooney and William H. Macey in Cleveland.
I saw the B-52's and went to the Rock and Roll hall of Fame to see the Psychedelic 60's/70's exhibit several years ago.
I love Cleveland.
Cleveand ROCKS.
19 september 2007 08:15 it is the death of history.
independent (uk)special investigation by robert fiskpublished: 17 september 20072,000-year-old sumerian cities torn apart and plundered by robbers.
the very walls of the mighty ur of the chaldees cracking under the strain of massive troop movements, the privatisation of looting as landlords buy up the remaining sites of ancient mesopotamia to strip them of their artefacts and wealth.
That made me so sad. I'm goingg home. Good night.
i think in most countries it is illegal to use this drug, so do you think it should be decriminalised, legalised & taxed, made legal for the medical proffesion or should it remain completely illegal?
please state your reasons for your choice.. lfcv.
I am now anxious to get off work and go home and "relax".
sometime ago i posted a discussion on h20 about the nov. 1991 kingdom ministry school for elders / ms held at woodburn, oregon.
during that school session the co stated that elders who commit a serious sin, even a gross sin, did not have to be removed if the event took place two or three years prior, and the elder continued to be respected, giving evidence of jehovahs blessing.
the co stipulated that this only applied to elders and ms and not to regular publishers.
i LOVE OLD THREADS.
first of all, i'd like to say that the purpose of this thread is in know way an avenue for me to boast, but merely to share an interest with you all.. there is one thing at least that i'd like to get back into now that i no longer have so much of my time taken up by jw activities, and that's music.
i won't name the instrument on this thread because that'll be telling too much info about me(as if i already hadn't) and i don't want to just blatently give my identity away since many local jws know about this, but i'm starting to realize how much i've missed playing the intrument.
i haven't touched one in 5 years, yet i still feel that i can pick one up and play it.
I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY !
