Magwitch's 2010 Review
do you think you'll grow old and die?
or, do you think your life will be cut short by a worldwide apocalyptic event (put in motion by man or god)?.
disclosure: i'm definitely not apocalyptic and i do not live in expectation of any worldwide event that will cut my life short.. .
As long as I die before my daughters, the rest does not matter!
i would like your help in locating the audio files for the testimonies of the following people.
i once listened to them, and i would like to share them with someone.
i have lost my files/links.
Oh Mouthy, I am so sorry that you fell! I hope you are okay! Maybe you should get out of Ontario in the winter - it sounds a bit harsh.
Take care of yourself
just about everyone in the hall my husband attends is deleting their facebook account.
he just cam back from a ms meeting.
what's the deal?.
I was not very interested in joining FB until I heard the society was trying to limit it. I then was immediately interested and joined.
Thanks GB - I have now connected with many old friends that I would not have foung if it had not been for your timely advice.

jehovah's witness elders lie and call police.
on october 31, 2010 jehovah's witnesses elders lie when asked by charles huff, also a jehovah's witness, if they shun ex-members of the jehovah's witnesses' religion.
He makes ex-JW's look like mental cases.
Please feel well soon!
I figured we had not heard from you because you were still celebrating with Cam Newton!
there could be such chapters as.
1 how to raise children in the "truth" without a husband.. 2 how to not feel hurt when your husband ignores you during the meetings and talks to everyone else.. 3 how to handle your husband rushing with anther elder off to be with some poor depressed sister or family night after night when you are depressed yourself.. 4 what to do with yourself when you husband has talks out and he is busy gabbing with the other elders and you are standing alone watching the sisters stare but never coming over to talk to you as you stand there stupidly.. 5 how to handle the rude phone calls of members of the hall demanding your husband come over right now!.
6 how to explain to your children why their father is helping other families and has no time to spend with them.. 7 how to explain to your children that a quick build is more important than they are.. 8 how to explain to neighbors and coworkers why your husband is always busy with the congregation and can never help you around the house.. my husband and i were talking the other day and he brought up again that the wives of elders should consider the cost of marring an elder.. i never knew before we were married what it was truly like.
LITS and Aude.....Spot On!!
A few more chapters for the book...
And of course the Bonus Chapter...
i think this brief synopsis is worth thinking about, particularly on this forum, where emotions run high, opinions are hard-won and sometimes fought for with great intensity.. on the other hand: debate is essential to thinking ability and working through one's viewpoint, and eventually owning your opinion.
the key is remembering that you are only owning an opinion - not something written in stone.. http://atheistempire.com/atheism/get_along.php.
i think deep down on both sides of the 'god debate' most people just want to live in peace.
Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing. ~ Oscar Wilde
I am sure the stress of losing a son and then dealing with a very public cheating husband had a lot to do with her stress level and her sickness.
besides the usual drivel there were a couple interesting things.
1. an entire 1 hour discourse on helping our children become little innocent martyrs for the wt via.
their flawed and unreasonable blood doctrine.
