confused. Was in the middle of sending out some last minute "seasons greetings," cards. Any way, he spoke of the events of the last year, how they were significant, about the brothers going to the trade center and offering comfort from the scriptures, while priests and ministers only offered water and towels, and about the change in subscription arrangement. I felt pretty smart because I had heard about all of those things on this board, and the reasons for them. But he said that Jehovah was loving and kind (and I really want to believe that) and that brothers do make mistakes. He also told me that if I can only get to a meeting now and then, it would be okay.
I mean, he was so kind and loving in his speech. I am easily swayed by affection and attention, why am I feeling this way? I thought I had everything sorted out in my head.....FreeFalling

Questions about Athletic Activities while a JW
by AjaxMan inhi, everyone.. on my researches about the jdubs.
i read that they are restricted or forbidden from engaging in activities such as sports, working out in a gym or in martial arts.. i, who does all three, have a question for the members of this forum:.
when you were a jw, could you do any of the three activities mentioned?.

I seem to recall an Awake or Watchtower about children in Japan who were required to take a martial arts class or fencing. Witness children refused.
Perhaps someone knows the article I mean.

Tom Petty's song was playing on the radio when I made my first post. I identified with both the "good girl" and "bad boy" in the lyrics.
Free Falling also applies to how I've felt ever since starting to lurk on this board about 6 months ago. Plummeting to destruction with a tattered parachute, that parachute being what I believed to be the "truth." Sometimes I wish I had never started this journey.FreeFallin'

ZaZAWitts and DocBob
Thank you both for the information. Bill Cetnar and his wife live close to me. I've only heard vague references to them as "apostates." Since the UN deal I've been glued to this computer, reading and finding out how many ways I've been deceived over the years. Something like finding our spouse has cheated on us, suddenly every phone call or scrap of paper takes on new meaning.

Being told by my x sis-in-law's mother that "Jehovah didn't create the little children, Jesus did." This is the same woman who refused to believe that artificial insemination was used on women and not just farm animals!
