can someone enlighten me to the dangers of having 'friends' you don't know?.
If you are talking Facebook, by allowing a "friend", you will be giving them access to any information you have generally available on your social network site to friends. It will also let them see who else is in your network of friends. This could cause you some privacy issues if you have a lot of personal information posted.
LOL Outlaw!!
could a man with long hair and a scruffy face make it up to elder status?.
ive seen some a list actors with long hair and beards at award shows.
they looked sexy, mature, and profesional.. think a guy like that could make it?.
i am reading colossians 1:15-18, and understand it to mean that jehovah created jesus who then created all other things in the world, thus jesus crall things except for god who created him.
is this correct?
thanks in advance!.
Welcome to the Board s-c-3-1-3...if you follow your line of reasoning, yes Jesus created all things except Jehovah...but why would you just assume that adding words is part of the original scripture? That is a bit intellectually dishonest to make that leap...just sayin'.
alright.....i've had some alcohol.....and i'm not drunk..but slightly buzzed... and i've caved into my guilty secret... i hate to say it.....i really do, adn most of you wont understand this....but.......i just want to say......cradle of filth is a great awesome band.
it's like scream-o, death, gothic metalness that pieces and connects so much for me.
i havn't heard them since 2006, but.....man....it's my guilty secret...... .

yes a brother was interrigated by the s.s elders in a local ethnic cong.
for getting arrested while driving under the influence of alcohol....to save his privleges he says that he had no alcohol at all, but did drink from an old bottle of coke which must have "fermented" into alcohol in his stomach...... maybe one of the best bullcrap stories i ever heard.....we need more honest elders like him in jehovahs "clean organisation..
ahhh, truth_b_known...you forgot the "natural nystagmus" defense!
it has been two years since my family stopped attending and being "active".
my daughter is in her 30's settled and teaching with a masters degree she got post her separation and divorce four years ago from a witness, she is remaried and happy.
we just celebrated our first xmas since joining jw in the early 80's.. my wife now has increasing bouts of extreme anger (that border on violence) directed primarily at me for wasting twenty years of her life and causing my daughter to have periodic problems with flashbacks and anxiety.
Leaving the JW's involves certain stages of emotion similar to grieving. I agree with Rebel that your wife's reaction seems a bit extreme in relation to blaming you for a decision I would assume she had a part in. Seeking counseling might be a good decision...I would try to get her to go with you so she won't be overly defensive at the suggestion to seek counseling. You might also want to look at the Free Minds website...I believe there is information on there regarding exits from the JW's.
i was an ex jw.
first lesson: be happy.
read books.
you own a business and hire an accountant to manage the finances.. your checks start to bounce every once and awhile.
you anxiously call your accountant: "what's going on?
bank to cover these things!".
You know the old saying Terry...
"Figures never lie, liars figure!"
I guess that could apply to other types of "accountants" too...
this past mon.
i had to have a hysterectomy and some other repairs.
i told the doc that since i'm going under anyway, if you see something that needs fixing, do it....and he went to town!
Hi 3rdgen...I am glad the surgery went well. Don't be surprised about being down...I was in the hospital this year for over a week, and when I came home I was "not myself" either. It is very typical, and often can be a combination of the drugs you are taking and the trauma to your body. As a surgeon once told me, "surgery is just an assualt with a deadly weapon under a controlled environment"! Once you turn the recovery corner, you will be amazed how much better you will feel, both physically and mentally.
As to your new life, it too will improve...to use a tired old WT cliche, "keep your eyes on the prize".
