"we'll surround you, don't worry.
" so unless a catastrophe happens between now and sunday, i will actually be setting foot in a kh, the first time other than a funeral in 6+ years.
(i'm getting the shakes just thinking about it.

Thankyou, I'm guilty of Caps. I just thought I was stressing a point to use them in a word or two. It was very informative.

"the group with the worst retention is one of the fastest growing -- jehovah's witnesses.
only 37 percent of those raised in the sect known for door-to-door proselytizing said they remain members.".
Jw's seem to be getting a lot more publicity than they know what to do with lately. What percent will actually see this?

in this topic i will put a text in which i ask everyone here to see if they fall under what mir'i-am did.
the text is num.12:1-10.. 1now mir iam and aaron began to speak against moses on account of the cush ite wife whom he had taken, because it was a cush ite wife he had taken.2and they kept saying: is it just by moses alone that jehovah has spoken?
is it not by us also that he has spoken?

i'm upset.
i moved to a new hall because i want to fade.
the jerks in my last hall are taking months to send my publisher card.
Do they not just forward the card to the next cong?
Just don't answer the phone when they call, thats what caller ID is for.
Best of luck with your fade

Well I guess its the same today as in 1961. Personally I feel every women should have a career of some sort, they need to be able to take care of themselves in case of the what
ifs. Preaching & meeting attendance are not going to pay the bills. How many women can actually stay home today with the cost of just getting by.

in this technological age and given that god wants us to communicate with him on a regular basis, how come he doesn't let us have his email address, and does the society have it for their own use?

when watching recent news reports and tv shows i saw the father, brother and mother of the convicted steve wright for murdering 5 prostitutes , they were showing such concern for the victims familys and seemed to have so much compassion for them , i expected the family of the ex min servant that seriously abused my child to approach me after he went to prison to show such compassion about my child , because they are "jehovahs people " but nothing has happened apart from accusations of apostacy , being lying bitches , being vandals , these people used to be my friends and i have never been a jw , they do not believe it happened to her just to add to her pain , cruel bastards , he is in prison for abusing two other victims .
how can people not show compassion for people in her situation , they are heartless robots .
I'm very sorry looloo for the anger, hurt and despair you are going through. I will also agree
if you are proactive about getting some therapy and moving forward in a positive way.
My sister has also gone thru this with her daughter it has been many years since the incident and it seems like yesterday. I only wish they had gotten the help
they needed to move forward. It has torn my heart in 2 for their continual pain. You will never forget, but you can empower yourself and your daughter by moving ahead.
