  I've been through divorce. It is so stressful! Nothing compares to it. Take care of yourself.

  As for the books, I had quite a few around here til recently. My son now loves a woman with three daughters.

  The 9 yr old was going through my books and started looking at one of the WT books. I told her to put it down

  because it was bad. She looked at me really funny, like "If it is bad, why do you have it???"

  I read Paradise Lost as a 9 year old and it greatly impacted my life in ways I'm still figuring out.

  Seeing her holding that book brought flashbacks. I burned them all a few days later.

  It felt GREAT to be rid of them. Do what you must to feel better.

  Hi All,

  I just got the latest silentlambs.org newsletter. In it Bill states that he is going through his second divorce and hints that he will be made the villain. He goes on and on about the latest Batman movie plot and applies it to his life. The whole letter is kind of weird...

  The newsletter is also available on the site if you click on it.

  Maybe he spent too much time on the lambs and neglected his wife? At least accorging to her??????? Just guessing here.

  Does anyone here know anything?

  I figured I could post it here since he has fought against child abuse...

  When I was a JW, my health was bad on several different occasions.

  I was allowed by the elders to write letters instead of going from door to door.

  I'm sure that is all it is. Someone wanting to count time.

  I hope she answers you or you at least make her think.

  You never know what may do the trick.

  Shunned again

  my son called me yesterday, first time in probably 6 weeks, because he lost his car keys, the car is in my name, so i had to get another set from the dealership.

  anyways, it doesn't really matter what he called about, it was just in 6 weeks he only calls because he needs something, not a peep before that (very hurtful).

  a brother drove him to my office and it was quittin time so i went outside with him and gave him the keys, i was hurt and didn't say much to him.

  i used to be the piano player at the kingdom hall (before they made the halls play tapes/cd's).

  i had no idea that whenever i played song 72, i was doing a song by queen.

  queen's song "lazing on a sunday afternoon" was on their 4th album "night at the opera", the same album that had "bohemian rhapsody".

  It is just me or was the memorial off by a day?

  by FiveShadows in

  i'm not exactly sure how to calculate the memorial date.

  i'm aware that one year back in the 90s, the society actually was off the memorial date by one day.

  as i came out of the organization, the brother who left with me was talking to me about it and said 'i remember one year it was off by a day.

  Actually, according to the REAL Jewish calendar, it was about a MONTH off, as is the Christian church's Easter this year. i guess no one is getting it right.

  I can't figure out how to cut and paste, but the calendar at the sites (if they work) says it will be in April.

  The JWs used to brag that they always did it on Nisan 14.

  I don't think all the "hype" about the date is ridiculous at all since the STUPID JWs have always made a big deal about the "fact" that they observe it on the correct date! THAT is what the flack is about.

  As for when we are supposed to "do this in remembrance of Me" THAT is supposed to be "as oft as you do it" in other words, as often as we like.

  The JWs are the ones who make fools of themselves by claiming to do it correctly on the correct date. I used to be so proud on memorial night, thinking we were doing it on Nisan 14th like the Jewish calendar. What a crock of crap, just like all the other crap.

  AND THAT folks is what all the FLAK is about. Once again, the JWs are WRONG!!!! Big surprise.

  Can someone explain why...

  2. beliefs

  ... christians believe in jewish books, otherwise known as the tanakh.

  especially when jews don't believe in your books?

  i still cannot fathom, to this day, that of all the people "god" supposedly made (and considering the jews were not the first race), that he would be so biased to chose the jews as "his chosen people".

  Have you even read the Bible? Do you realize that our Savior was a Jew? That God picked a people to bring our Savior through their blood-line? Of course we believe in those books. Our Savior lived by them.

  It doesn't matter to me what Jews believe. My faith doesn't rest on that. And besides more Jews are coming to realize that Christ was the promised Messiah every day.

  If it wasn't for "....................." I'd still be in the "Truth".......

  for me i think if it wasn't for the fact i'm gay, i'd still be an active witness.

  this year, even my mum has said that it wouldn't be "appropriate" if i was to go to the memorial.

  now the memorial is something i've never missed, so that kind of stings a bit.

  When I learned that in other religions you are allowed to think for yourself and disagree with the beliefs AND I learned how WRONG the JWs are on most things I got out.

  So if not for the REAL TRUTH, I would still be in the FAKE "TRUTH"...
