  ...from a school nurse clinical day in my nursing program and asked my wife "how was your day?".

  she replies "good, i'm tired though because i was cleaning out the spare room and threw away a bunch of books.".

  my ears perked up because she has a habit of trying to decide whether or not i 'need' what i have or should throw it away so i asked "which books?

  What is the point of Judicial Committees??

  i've had 2 jc's, both resulted in reproof.. but.....in church, the vicar asks us do reflect quitely on anything that we have done that we're not happy about and to ask for forgiveness in our heart.

  knowing that jesus will forgive us, if we are sorry and have faith in him.

  good.

  New NWT - what's the REAL reason?

  by wallsofjericho in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  one thing i have learned over the years is there is a clear, distinct purpose to everything the wts does.

  everything is done to accomplish a defined purpose.. did they really print millions of new bibles just to be more accurate?

  after decades of toughting how much better the nwt was than any other bible?.

  If I were still in a new "bible" would have made me question them. It just doesn't add up

  Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?

  i'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.

  i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.

  first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

  It's ok to have a "day" just get up tomorrow and try again. I went on meds for a few months it kicked me back.

  Did You Ever Feel Guilty Because You Deserted The JW Religion?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  once i left, i never yearned for anything associated with the religion.

  i didn't miss their doctrines, their erroneous thinking.

  i never felt guilty because i abandoned the religion i was raised in.. i believe the reason for my not feeling guilty is pretty simple.

  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  This makes me sad. Not that I believe in the JW way, but just thinking of all the good people that think they are donating to something. It will just go to the big GB
