I'm back... Updates about hubby...
by cognac inturns out, he really doesn't seem to like anything spiritual.
he hasn't been to a meeting in weeks.
we went out with a bunch of jws the other night and at the end he told me he was pissed they brought spiritual things up.

Your chance!!!........ to tell us your Mission Statement in life !
by caliber inmission statement is a brief written statement of the purpose of a company or organization.
ideally, a mission statement guides the actions of the organization, spells out its overall goal, provides a sense of direction, and guides decision making for all levels of management.. the mission statement of an organization is a short but complete description of the overall purpose and intentions of that organization.
it states what is to be achieved, but not how this should be done.. i will call it.... the three v's.... visions, values & views... what is your personal mission statement ?.

Ok, seriously, my mission:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (did you realize that this saying is basically in EVERY religion and Paganism?)
I like smiling at people to change their demeanor as well I've got a kickass smile and I know how to use it
Show EMPATHY. my mother always tells me this & I totally do not do it to her cuz I'm a total brat when I'm around my parents. I opened my own business (on my OWN, with no help but my OWN...and a bit from my handsome hubby)...showing empathy has kept me out of the recession. It shows people that someone still truly cares about them. So important.
Ask sincere questions. Quit trying to think of your next answer.

Ouija Board Hysteria
by Megachusen ini always wondered why jw's were always so afraid of ouija(pronounced as "wee-yaw" not "wee-gee") boards.
does anyone have any speculation about who started these jw myths?.
anyone who has actually tried the board and would like to give their opinions are welcome.

I've messed around with it quite a few times in my earlier 20's. MOST of the time, something crazy happened. The first time, I was with my best friend & his eyes got really big and he mentioned a spirit's name that was looking out over me ....and then he mentioned one who was out to get me. Everytime I messed around with it with him, crazy things were brought up...stuff from our childhoods. Then I was playing it with a girlfriend years later and she mentioned the same name of the guy who was out to get me. Yikes. A lot of crazy stuff came up. With the exeption of the two friends who came up with the same guy's name....I'd say its mostly your subconscious talkin'.

1John
by PSacramento inevery morning i read the bible.. yypically i read everyday, in order, the nt, when i finish i start again and everytime i read it i find something the hits me, in a good way lol !.
today i read 1john and decided to post about it :).
john is probably my favorite writer of the nt, his writing is beautiful and eloquent and truly express the most important teachings of jesus (in my very humble view), that of love.. and nowhere is that more evident than in the frst letter of john.. john makes it clear from the very beginning that god is light and light is love and to walk with god is to walk with love and no love means no god.. john syas the man that does the will of god lives forever and that the will is love.. john speaks of those that deny that jesus is the christ,that he was made flesh, that there are the antichrists ( plural not single).. we are all children of god for god dwells in us if love dwells in us, love not only of words but of actions.. john reiterates jesus last comandment that we love one another as he loves us, to give up our lives for one another just as jesus did for us.. note: the loving part goes back to matthew too where jesus says to love those that don't love us, for if we love only those that loves us, what's the big freaking deal?

P, I really respect your opinion. But can you explain why you only read the NT? I'm so curious. As you know, I am reading the OT at this point and god does NOT seem loving. AT ALL. I don't want to judge or criticize...but maybe you can explain again. (?)

My Boyfriend's not a Witness...
by Hikaru inalright, with my last post it should be obvious i'm in conflict...if it's not, then yeah.. my boyfriend is not a witness.
he understands that witnesses can't marry or date non witnesses.
but i guess could say we've been stalling...looking for a solution a gray area to that black and white situation...but with time getting as it is...stalling doesn't work anymore.

When I was 16, I got one of the best pieces of advice from my boss: "the way you are at 16 is not the way you will be at 21. And the way you are at 21 is not how you will be at 27"..... It meant a lot to me & proved to be true. Also, you may want to check out some books on Interfaith relationships. Many of them give examples of couples who are of complete opposite faiths, and who make it work.
I really hope you can find peace in yourself
