so i have the friday of the district assembly behind me.
i have learned;.
i need to cancel my cable so i can study more and read the bible more and have less temptation to buy "new toys"i need to sell my house and buy an ol' fixer upper so my wife can stop working and pioneeri need to sell all my "toys" and my cari need to trust the fds implicitly because jehovah does.i need to pray more, study more, preach more, go to more meetings, etc.
While you're sitting in the convention, do you find your mind wandering and making plans for where to go to dinner? Do you pass notes to your family and friends with restaurant suggestions?
Have a great weekend!!!

the bibles rebound with a reasoning book in the end.
the special bookbags made by a jw for jws.
the magazine holders.
I never purchased any myself, but a district overseer once gave all the elders a bible with their name and their wife's name engraved on it. He got the spelling wrong on many of them.

it's been a long time since i posted here but i often read your messages when ian (dansk) logs on.
as most of you will know, ian will be going back into hospital on monday for an allogeneic stem cell transplant and will be away from the forum for a good few weeks (hopefully he'll be back home within 4-6 weeks).
last time he was in hospital many of you sent messages to his ward and i know they cheered him up immensely.
Thanks, will do.

if we cut out all the crap, the jehovah's witness religion kills people through their 'blood' policy.
people die from following it.. therefore i am ashamed to say that i was part of it for so long.
i used to say, as many who are still in still do, that it's not a bad way of life.. yes it is.
I know how you feel. That is why, as soon as I saw the "truth" for what it was I stopped going in FS. I did not want to be responsible for deceivng and hurting any more people.
Try not to "cry over spilled milk". What's done is done. Be glad you are out. As for your parents, remember that if you come on too strong they will just get scared. Show them by example that life is good. Be there for them when they start to doubt.

i was talking to a friend of mine about perfection last night.. he made a comment that there was no way to have perfection, unless you made one thing and set that as perfect.
everything after that would be a copy and otherwise would always in some way fall short of perfect, the original creation.
we were talking about art.. and then he made a comment that god did not create us perfectly.
I like your friend purps. IMO perfection is another one of those concepts that traps and enslaves us. We can't attain it but we strive for it anyway. A very destructive vicious circle.
