Wing Commander,
I was at the Vet around that time as well. It was the closest thing to hell that I could imagine.

another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.
jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.
absolutely drives me mad..

well, i messaged someone on e-harmony and she messaged me back.
i did like her at first and she likes me too.
we exchanged more than 10 messages till i find out yesterday that her best friend is a tarot card reader.
I read Tarot cards. I think there is a misconception about us. What most Tarot card readers practice is what's called white magick. (yes with a k). It is more about finding light, love and peace. Spells are frowned upon because there is the universal law of three...whatever you do to someone else comes back to you threefold. The cards I read provide guidance and wisdom. However, everyone has free will, so the choices are always with the querant (term for someone I read for.)
Out of curiosity, did she tell you that her friend did a reading on you and her specifically?
never was a jw, but been here a long time.. off on a trip in a week or so, uk to andorra to stay with a friend for 10 days or so (beautiful place) then a week or so wending through france back home.. did the same trip the last couple of years -it was wonderful.
met some lovely people, including an ex-polce woman over coffees and calvados after dinner.. but ... i don't feel so enthusiastic about this trip.
i'll visit the cathar sites and other places.. maybe- just maybe - i've come to the conclusion that these trips are not as much fun if you don't have a companion to share it with..
I believed I offered to go one time. :)

In a few year's time they won't even have conventions anymore. I think they will just instruct everyone to look at the videos...kind of like a webinar. That would be a huge cost saving measure. I am surprised it hasn't been done yet, but it will.
...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.
bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.
he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.
I threw up a little (okay a lot) in my mouth just now,

here are the morning program highlights.
will update for the afternoon once it's all over.
the gb bit off more than they can chew.
they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.
as a result, they are in damage control mode.
That old rascal Satan ruins everything...
the degradation of the governing body members continues on.
mark sanderson gives a talk regarding his visit to belgium for the memorial this year and was travelling from korea to munich to brussels, belgium on the day of the belgium terrorist attacks.he cannot wipe the smirk on his face as he relates his experience, with no regard whatsoever of all those unfortunately affected by the attacks.
in fact, he personally found god's hand affecting him personally, allowing him to attend the memorial as planned and a kh dedication.he is that privileged during his flight travels that internet was available to him, enabling him to catch up on current news and to contact branch's.
He looks like Mr. Potato Head.
all warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.

i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..
