Your comments on this Memorial Bible reference (1 Cor. 11:26)
by OnTheWayOut in(1 corinthians 11:26) for as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the lord, until he arrives.. here's mine.
i was told that i have an earthly hope.
i won't eat from the loaf or drink from the cup, so i won't.

Good points all. This is precisely the problem I have with the Memorial. It seems pointless to have this "memorial" when most congregations won't have ANYONE who's actually partaking. WT says only the "anointed" are to partake, but where does the BIBLE say that? I've heard it explained that the disciples were anointed, so that's where the idea comes from. It seems the WT teaches many ideas that are not spelled out in the Bible.

Anything with good information. I'm trying to glean knowledge on the Bible and the "organization". I also appreciate the personal stories, which give insight into feelings and emotions of those who've been in and/or are now out. The numbers turn me off- they don't mean anything to me. The fun threads are good, too. I loved the Ya-ya sisterhood, lots of laughs.

This Past Week Has Been Hell!
by XJW4EVR inlast friday morning, my wife was attacked while waiting to transfer between buses.
normally, she has the car, and i commute to school, however this day i had to take the car in for some repairs, and then commute to school.
she fought off this guy for some time, and walked away with scratches, scrapes, and some bruises.

X- Don't blame yourself, sweetie! This was NOT your fault, and it could have happened even if she'd been driving the car. Definitely do the counseling, asap. Thank God she was strong enough to fight him off, even to wear him down so much that he had to lie down...that is one strong lady! Remind her, and yourself of that, and the fact that the SOB is in jail now. PTL she wasn't raped. That is a huge bright spot. Praying for the two of you. -Potential

This is an interesting thread, seeing who's still active. I'm glad it got bumped so I could see it...I know at this time there are also plenty of folks on the board like myself: trying to keep (or bring) a spouse out of the evil clutches of the "organization".

by cognac infirst and foremost, i would like to say... i did not start this one... hubby did... lol.
ok, so anyways, if you've read any of my posts, he's very into this "holy ones being raised up" and not actually "fallen over from there tombs" as stated in i think matt.

Cognac, You are very brave. Stay true to yourself and keep going the way you are. You can't live in fear of what "may" or even most certainly will happen to you and your family. One day at a time, Sweet Jesus. I hope that your honesty in revealing your true feelings will help your family and hubby see the problems in the Witness' "Truth". Good luck and God Bless!

problem: prince has been a baptized and devoted j-dub since 2001 (even passing out wt's during concerts).

So sorry to hear your wife is not well. Happy belated anniversary. Every day is precious, and you can make it when you take 'em one day at a time. Remember, today is a gift- that's why they call it "the present".

Dancing girl test which way is she spinning for you?
by Hope4Others init's the great right brain vs left brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
if clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the... brain and vice versa.
most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

What does it mean if she keeps changing direction??? That I can't make up my mind? Lol
