the reason that i am a little afraid is that four out of my five grown children are still jws and if they knew that i was on here.....well nothing would change, would it, they don't speak to me now.
ok, i talked myself out of being afraid.
lol .

i was hoping to enjoy the championship game between the eagles and the bucs.. but no more than 5 or 10 minutes into the game, a budweiser ad comes on that uses a very obvious double entendre (a conversation between a man and woman that revolves around the very large sweatshirt she is wearing.
she makes comments like, "small ones are ok, but big ones just feel better.
" the commercial closes with her remarking about his "small hands".).
Dantheman,
I'm never sure if people here are just pulling our chains, or what, but if you really feel that way, good for you. I agree that alot of comercials have gone too far. I guess I've just numbed myself to them.
But anyway, you made a courageous statement for a football watchin' kind of guy.

this last week has been very freaky for me.

i woke up sunday morning with a very high fever, chills, headache, sick to my stomach, and i couldn't really stand up.

Wow, that is scary. Hope you're feeling much better.

just out of curiosity, now that it's been 6 weeks since we had our visit from the elders..... how many of us have been called on by the elders??
what have been the results of the visit?.
love, scully
Scully,
One Elder called 2 weeks ago asking to set up a meeting, I agreed, then changed my mind and cancelled. Mailed a letter a few days ago (I consider this particular elder somewhat of a friend, as much as this is possible) apologizing for having cancelled at the last minute, and explaining that we have simply left. I pointed out that this was NOT a DA letter. The next move is up to them.

thinking back to my most earliest of memories, i remember the wonderment of life.
i can still smell the pugnent floral breezes and experience being mesmerized into hypnosis watching the white linen sheets dance to an unheard accompaniment on the clothes line.
mother seemed like a god to me the way she hung that laundry so effortlessly and happily.
Excellent post, Perry.
Truly chilling pictures, I never realized just how much they shaped my thinking.

wow, today i suddenly realized just what day it was.
exactly one year ago, i decided i was no longer willing to be a witness.
january 17, 2002 was the first day i stopped praying to a god i no longer had any faith in.
Happy Anniversary!! It only gets better.

well, my daughter decided to write they letter.
the foundation for this letter can be found in my previous thread a couple of days ago which can be found at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=44457&site=3.. she wrote her heart and gave them some good counsel.
she was generous and kind in her comments, yet concise and to the point.
Very, very good letter. Hope it makes them think.

i don't know where to begin with this.. we had a meeting scheduled for monday nite (tomorrow), the inactive call.
we decided to cancel the meeting and i've been working on a letter to the elder who was supposed to come over.
i wanted to tell him how we felt and that we just wanted to back away gracefully.. so when my husband called him to cancel, he told him that he couldn't be the witness the congregation expected, etc.
Thank you everyone for all your input. I really appreciate it. I'm sending a very brief letter to this particular elder, no doctrinal issues, no doubts, etc just a letter to a friend telling him we're sorry we couldn't meet with him.Then pointing out the statement on the website, and adding that we will be just fading away. No confrontational statements. Then, we'll see what happens; If it gets to be too much of a hassle, then the DA letter to another elder. And I won't be so pleasant.
Thank you all again for your kindness and concern. I will let you know the outcome.
