This site has been going for 13 years. Did you ever at one point fear armageddon?

i am just wondering about all of you who have been on this site for long.

in all of the events that have happened since 2000 (for example, september 11th), have you at any point, even you die-hard apostates, felt like "oooh sh!t... i should go back to the kh"... just to have the world survive the latest disaster?.

what was the worst event for you, in terms of saying... "did i mess up???

I walked away from the religion and my 20 year marriage in the summer of 2006. It is going on 8 years and I can honestly say once for about 3 minutes I had a slight regret. I had always been a stay at home mom. In my forties I had to start working for the first time in my life. I had two young teenage daughters with no support from the ex and I was struggling financially to survive. My Awake and Watchtower degree didn't do much in the work place. I was driving to work thinking "Should I have stuck it out? I actually think it was more like one minute. Other than that lapse in judgement it was the smartest thing I could ever do for my girls and myself.

These new sugarless gummy bears give everybody explosive diarhea

by EndofMysteries in

you have got to see the reviews here on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/haribo-sugar-classic-gummi-bears/product-reviews/b006j1fblm/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?showviewpoints=1.

people are now using them as pranks.

i'd love to send the gb a gift of gummy bears now lol.

Too Funny. I liked this review.......What you do is set them out anonymously in a bowl in the middle of the snack room. Then no one knows who is responsible. It's even better if you put a sign on them (printed out so no one can trace handwriting) say, "Private stash. Please do not eat." That way they have no one to blame but themselves. And they will be too embarrassed to admit to their co-workers what happened, providing no warning to others.

It always amazes me that there are so few threads on JWN about sports. Is it because we weren't allowed to participate in school? We live and breathe sports in my home, but that is because I live with a sportsaholic.

Oh and BTW GO BRONCOS (I think it will come down to the Seahawks and my Broncos)

i knew two personally, in my congo.

i suspect this is pretty rare.

not that man people die of refusing a blood transfussion i think.

Magwitch

There is a brother in my parents hall that has luekemia. He received a blood transfusion and was privately reproved. Then he received another one and the elders disfellowshipped him. As if he didn't have enough on his plate already.

by smiddy in

" from paradise lost to paradise regained " i know , it was designed for the young , however my mentor thought that since i had no understaning of the bible it was what i needed.

Did You Ever Hear An Elder or Bethelite's Comments That Made You Question ??

by minimus in

jw
friends

years ago, the society's speakers used to give many off the cuff statements.

a lot of personal opinions and questionable remarks.. anything ever stand out for you in this area?.

Magwitch

The Searcher.....that is hilarious. At a public talk the elder stated that we will all be vegitarians in the new system, but Jehovah can make trees that grow bacon.

SEND THEM ALL !!!

by Tech49 in

i dont see anyone else mentioning it, so i will: last night at the service meeting there was a letter read, from the most holy 8.. a request for more workers!

and this one with new addendums!

i am pulling from memory, but pretty sure i have it right (feel free to correct me if someone else hears the letter too).. .

Fathful Witness....I asked my mother the same question. Her reply was so the resurrected ones will have a place to live. You can't get much smarter than that - good thing she got her college education from reading the Awake magazines
