WITNESS MENTALITY TOWARDS THE TSUNAMI DISASTER
by Mary ini feel like screaming right about now...........the dickhead who takes our bookstudy group just came over and said "...i wonder how many brothers and sisters died in the tsunami disater.
" while that's a natural concern, his next comment blew me away "....it figures that the media hasn't bothered mentioning jehovah's witnesses helping out in this disaster!
" i looked at him stunned for a minute and said "and why on earth would they mention jehovah's witnesses?

I know things about some prominent people in the congregation and de elders know that I know..........They don't want it coming out so I figure that's why they keep their distance and don't give me (too much) grief........it's nice to be able to hold stuff like this over their heads.
o0o, what kinda things? inquiring minds wanna know... -

I can't stand Tony Soprano's sister named Janice.
isn't she gross? she's soo not lady-like! (that's what i call great acting)
Adiana is not dead. She's in the witness protection program and living in Southern California under a different name.
you know, you never actually saw him shooting her... i always thought Tony faked her death and has her in a lil lovenest somewhere...
Inocense: I am with you on that...I find him to be so sexy and it baffles me because it goes against my feminist ideals...oops! Of course I would never date a man like that in real life but its fun to sort of fantasize. The sad thing is, is Tony reminds me of my father, wow Freud would have a field day with me...but I am quite positive that him reminding me of my father is NOT the reason why I find Tony Soprano sexy. Another sad thing is...is I have distant yet not-so distant connections to the mob but thats all I can tell you otherwise I would have to kill you
o0o i know... it's all that POWER. he knows how to make a woman feel all warm and squishy...

i didn't deliberately "fade"... but for about a year the questions kept mounting and going unanswered and i got offended one day when i approached the wife of an MS who i had always admired and i told her i had these questions and she told me i was spiritually weak because i had all these doubts, which hurt because it wasn't true, not to mention i was so clean and pure i squeaked. i mean, i didn't even think bad thoughts. anyway, family circumstances changed which caused us to have to move, and the same time i came of age and thought wow i can really leave now if i wanna, so i moved out of the house, neighborhood and KH when i was 18 years and two weeks old and never looked back...

Have you re-read the bible since leaving the Kingdom Hall?
by Eyebrow2 ini always wanted to re-read the bible after i left the org; to be able to read it without having to feel like i had to apply something, or to have to read it out of obedience, etc.... well, i have always liked the new world translation, i know it isn't perfect, but i think it is better than some.
but i have always wanted to get a different modern english translation, and read that.
well, i finally picked up a new international version at wal-mart the other day...under $6, what a bargain.. started last night, and finished genesis today, and am just starting into exodous.

i always read it when i was in, highlighting appropriate verses and making margin notes, memorizing book names, order, chronology, etc. then i really began dissecting it when i was out, looking for inconsistencies, which weren't hard to find. then i got tired of that and bought myself a gigantic expen$ive bible...one with lots of beautiful pictures and gilt pages..'cause i always thought the austere NWTs didn't do justice to such a divine work. i never read it now but it's pretty to look at sometimes, and great for making pressed flowers...
