I remember waiting for some really exciting "new light" and always feeling disappointed when it was the same old stuff.

when i think back, i remember being excited in the 80's.
i remember the 5p food token strips at twickenham, london.
you could get hot fresh doughnuts and burgers.
i've often read here on jwd that a jw can't wish someone "good luck".
i've searched this forum and i've searched the wt library, but i have not been able to find anything.
can someone please explain why?
well here i am having a bible study at my home and the doorbell rings, the door opens and closes, i hear a few voices.
she comes back and hands me the march 1 watchtower, march 8 awake and a invitation to the memorial on march 22, 2008 and a special talk to" who is qualified to rule mankind?
" on april 6, 2008.. so did you get yours?.
she has lost over 7 stone due to her cancer and is finding it almost impossible to eat now.....see the difference in a couple of years .. ......she has been giving all her belongings away too recently
do you find yourself looking down on people who you think should know better but still hang on to the religion?
not sure if anyone has pointed this out before, but behold the january 8th awake!, 2008, pages 26-27;.
are customs?.
customs are practices that apply to social life and are common to a particular place or class of people.
hey it's been awhile since i've left--almost 5 years now!
i haven't visited this site for quite a while now.
i was never dfd, but i have little contact with anything to do with jws.
cyber-sista - There does seem to be more hunting after inactive JW's now from what I've been hearing, but maybe depends on the local elders too. It is all about the WT being frightened of the knowledge and support available now via the internet. Shunning applies to JW's that DA or are Dfd so they would rather that than have inactive ones who can still talk to JW's. It's all about maintaining control by limiting contact/information.

do you think long and hard before deciding on a course of action or are you impulsive??
?
it has finally happened after a year of not attending meetings and so forth.
my cousin emailed me and said that he heard i was an apostate.
a jehovah's witness once said that the christian god of the trinity has multiple personality disorder (mpd).
this goes to show their complete lack of understanding of the trinity and how to explain it.. god does not have multiple personality disorder (mpd).
he created us in his image, having three parts.
