happy memorial day, america.
a special day for remembrance of loved ones, and especially for those who have given their lives for our country..
Hi Poppers
We had a nice weekend and spent more than a little time thinking about the ones who gave their lives so we could enjoy such a weekend in freedom.
We went to the parade and also the older vets had a small ceremony with a gun salute to their fallen comrades. Very touching.
My JW husband went to the parade and also went to a picnic with a DF relative in attendence. I kept my lips zipped and let him enjoy himself.
i'm having some difficulty navigating the site, but thanks asilent one for the nice welcome.
Hi!
Happy Birthday!
this video pretty much sums it up..... .
in case you can't see the video, here's the address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhdmswviea&feature=related.
wearing nothing but thin silk, dancing in the waves of the ocean or the shallows of a great river.... .
Simply beautiful
Thank you
works piling up and i've got a ton of stuff to do - some of it might even be fun!
i've been posting at jwd/n for more than eight years and i'm sure i'll keep on doing it but from time to time it's useful to take a few months out.
clear your head, waste time in the garden instead of at a laptop, drink a little wine, dance with your daughter, laugh at the dog - you get the idea.
We'll be here when you get back, enjoy your break!
i'll be honest and admit that i did.
the 'moses' miracles, solar miracles, jesus miracles - everything.
so no belief bashing from me on this one, i promise.. all the same, how do you reconcile belief in miracles with that little voice in your head that says "hmmmmm?
Thank you all for your comments, especially 'only me' for sharing the only account of a 'miracle' containing specific details (by RA do you mean rheumatoid arthritis?) I'm glad you and your Mom are well.
Yes, I had extremely severe rheumatoid arthritis, wasn't getting relief from the meds I was taking. Still have the residual damage, but the doctor say he has never seen anyone just go from severe disease to no signs of active disease so fast. My Mom is still a JW and doesn't know this was done for her.
We are lucky, that much is sure.
I have to repeat, I had no idea that I was being healed until it was done. Didn't even have an idea he could do it.
Now a couple years later, I've learned of other healings that he has done, my daughter had a large cavity in her tooth and he healed that in 3 days. I could actually see the hole filling in with healthy tooth over time. Weird i know but I can only say what I saw. He doesn't want publicity, money, or even thank yous. He is very shy about it all.
He can also hear what most people are thinking. Says it's like listening to the radio all the time, annoying.
I suppose it could all just be a coincidence but I don't think so. Some might chalk it up to demons, I don't know.
I'm just thankful and I'm happy he's in our lives.
Anyway, I don't expect anyone to believe this just because I say it. Proof is in the seeing I think.

Yes I do. I have been healed of RA and my JW mom was healed of a tumor in the duct between her liver and pancreas.
Neither one of us wa aware of the intent to heal us until it was accomplished. The faith was the healer's, not ours.
This was a cou[le years ago and we are both still disease free.
The man who helped us is a Catholic who also practices Wicca.
It's true, but I don't expect anyone who doesn't know us to believe it.
are you disfellowshipped?
disassociated?
a fader?
I was a fader but now I don't know. Proboably still faded but the elders know we had some holidays so they could have DFd me by now. I really don't care at this point, been treated as DF for over a year now. People are much nicer on this side of the Truth.
okay, i have to confess, i like star trek.
i like voyager best, of the tv series.. anyway, tonight they had a sneak peek of the new star trek movie and we went.
it was really good!.
I really liked this movie even though I am not at all a star Trek fan.
It was really fun to watch
since i left the jws i have consistently sent my mom a mother's day card and / or flowers.
depending on my mood and credit limit i will send her a gift.
she has never asked me not to nor has she said this is a bad thing or not approved by the society.
I've always given my Mom a Mother's day gift and she always called me on my birthday and asked if I felt any older.
Now she has dementia and doesn't remember. I'll still give her flowers on Mother's Day.
