2 cor 6:14 .
always been given that scripture about marrying someone who is not a jw or same belief.
while that may be true, i just realized when reading vs 14-17 that was talking about the congregation.
My parents are still hopeful that I am the prodigal daughter that will return. Last week my father told me "Do not become interested in anyone that is not a lover of god and the bible and they must have a meek disposition" (JW words for - he has to be a little peon that I can brainwash.) My response was “Hmmmmm….I will be sure and do that”
and then I will run like hell!
who were your past circuit overseers?
i'm sure a lot of us actually know mutual people, as the co's relocate all over the country.. here's a few from the southeast us: (let me know if you recognize any names and post yours too please...).
ellwood johnson (new york/philadelphia area for several years also).
I cannot believe how bad my memory is....I only remember the ones who had a significant impact on my life.
Arnie and Rusty Erickson - dated their son Kent my teenage years - our families were really close.
Don Arnoux - He performed my marriage ceramony - I loved his wife Rosie
Don Emshoff - One of my closest friends for many years. He was our D.O. in WI and then moved to CO when we did in '81. He was our D.O.in CO and then our C.O. When he was removed he lived with us for quite a while and if he wasn't living with us he was just with us. He was a good guy, aside from the fact that he only associated with thin, attractive, young sisters (did not matter if they were married or not). Now that I am 45, he probably would have nothing to do with me (he would probably say I was an old hag)
spiritual upbuilding..... have you entered into gods rest?
(heb 4:10, 11) all were encouraged to cease dead works (heb 6:1).
self-evaluation: ...ask yourself how you would react to counsel regarding personal lifestyle?

THAT WAS THE WORST ASSEMBLY YET
I REALLY MISS THOSE HOAGIES AT THE DISTRICT CONVENTION
CAN WE LISTEN TO THE KINGDOM MELODIES IN THE CAR AND AT HOME?
THAT BLOOD SAUSAGE WAS AWESOME
JEHOVAH'S PEOPLE ARE THE MOST MISERABLE ON EARTH
anyone have a good read of the ypa article on homosexuality?.
is it just me or is the doctrine becoming more lenient and less dogmatic?.
I have not read it. Can you post it?
I heard an excellent quote yesterday "Why is it we have no trouble viewing a picture of two men holding machine guns, yet we have a problem when two men are holding hands?"
there's a lot of them!.
one rule is you can't wear a tee shirt with writing on it if you are working at a quick build kh .
nothing with logos.. let's add more stupid rules that were in your hall or that the organization has.. .
Stay after the meetings and enjoy the lovely fellowship.
For a girl that has gone to bed at 8 her entire life, service meeting night was much like a Nazi torture room.
newsmaxs magazine just published an article that the watchtower is the most read magazine out there it evens surpasses time.. i have never heard of newmaxs but i just was emailed this and thought you might find it interesting.
i am sorry i do not know how to give the link so i am cutting and pasting.
if someone can do the link it would be great.
Last month I had to have a procedure done at the hospital. My lovely 80 year old reg pioneer mother was my deignated driver. Upon arriving at the hospital, she pulled out a very large stack of Watchtowers and Awakes and started distributing them on every end table she could find (on more than one floor). We all know that as soon as she left the room, these mags were all collected and thrown into the recycle bin. However, she was thrilled to have placed 30 magazines!
everybody must know of a funny/weird/dumb disfellowshipping offence.
here's mine:.
i moved to a new congregation and was related this story by a sister with the most deadly serious face.
An extremely faithful lifetime sister of 88 years old df'ed for driniking too much (in the privacy of her home). Her adult self-righteous grandchildren turned her in. She was the mother of "two very high-ups" in Bethel
in helping a fading friend of mine do some research on prov 6:16-19 about the 7 things destestable to jehovah, i came across this article.
i thought it interesting that they used the footnotes to try and stop the talk about the gb.
what about how they treat people who have left the organzation?
These articles were probably written when the news leaked out that Greenlees was a homosexual/pedophile
my dilemma...i have enjoyed a very fun and active dating life these last four years of freedom.
most dates end by me moving on (always another fish out there).
last fall i started dating someone i really like (as in i would like a commitment).
Thank You CyberJesus and Curious Butterfly- You are both so sweet!
