I got an e-mail from an old friend who read my book

by Terry in

jw
friends

he told me he had left a review on amazon because he had just read my book.. now this you have to know about allan, he is a very precise person.. in his e-mail he said he was counting off "one star's worth" of approval because i had underlined where i should have italicized.. that gave me a good chuckle.

he is an engineer, after all.. .

4.0 out of 5 stars watch out, watch tower, november 1, 2013by a. ostling (phoenix, arizona) - see all my reviews this review is from: i wept by the rivers of babylon: a prisoner of conscience in a time of war (paperback) after reading this book you will hope that a jehovah's witness soon comes to your door.

my mom and sis love me and still talk to me, although i'm clearly an apostate.

their loophole?

“Gramps always says people only swear because their vocabulary is limited...In certain trying circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity furnishes a relief denied even to prayer.”

I didn't read this book but I thought the quote was pretty good.

What are you NOT allowed to say as a Jehovahs Witness?

by The Quiet One in

"one of the bible study was listening and singing the song by jason mraz titled lucky with the chorus going like this;.

quote.

'i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend.. lucky to have been where i have been.. lucky to be coming home again.. lucky we're in love in every way.. lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.. lucky to be coming home someday..'.

Here's your answer Gypsy: Say "Feel Good" because doesn't it feel good to sneeze?

When I was bamboozled in I thought, oh bummer, can't say bless you. So I came up with "Feel Good". I said it for years, still do sometimes.

Today, in a store, I sneezed. A stranger from somewhere nearby said "Bless You". JW's can't say bless you.

AND if some unenlightened person should shamelessly bless you...Don't dare say "Thank You".

Today, it felt so good to say Thank You to the unseen person.
