Judas is one story that is just not told right by most churches... but an important lesson is learned here- keep your friends close and your enemies closer!
many witnesses that i know have this attitude of superiority and "i'm smarter and better" than you.
are ex witnesses that much different?.
I was a lovable bitch before I studied- I am now back to my norm... the only change is, I now wear a nice big cross on my necklace around town and make a point of saying hello really loudly and friendly to passing JW's at my son's school- it makes them look like asses when they just keep walking with their heads downs and is a great conversation starter for anti witnessing when the other mums ask why they are being so rude, when I was being so nice ... hehehehehe, no wonder they 'unofficially marked' me /
here is one link to an article about it with photos.
but you can just google it for some great videos and pics.
thoughts are it could have been a russian missile but the scientists aren't sure yet.. .
I just find it a little too coincidental that the US president was in Norway at the time... something about a Peace Prize?? I dont know, it's late here, and my brain is just not functioning well tonight- maybe the strange lights have caused it
"(so and so) is no longer a jehovah's witness.".
what year approximately?.

So the meeting I was present for in January this year , when the annoucment was made ('changes to the anouncement') means we're 3 years behind here in Australia ??? or maybe it was just a reminder??? who knows... I was only half paying attention that night- still a bit peeved after reading the stuff on 'how to treat a DF'd person' earlier during that meeting
hey, i want to google a topic...the only problem is that i know what its about but i can't figure out what keyword to google.

"i woke up to find a demon at the end of my bed"
At first glance of topic, I imediatly thought of my kids LOL I woke up this morning with the feeling that a pair of eyes were watching me, I opened my eyes and my youngest was staring at me- 3 inches away from my face... scary stuff when haven't yet had your morning fix of coffee LOL
But back on topic here... I have experienced sleep paralysis a few times, it can be scary if you dont know what causes it.
Thankyou for the artical Highdose.
i'd like to know who you all are on the board.. you dont have to identify yourself personaly as i understand some need to be ingocnito.
i am also curious to see if any of my old childhood and adult life friends have made it onto here.. me: lived in ballarat 70s, naracoorte in the 80s, adelaide in the 90s.
traveled to york w.a as a teen and to alice springs and brisbane early twenties.. of course, if you need to be silent, thats fine too!
Hey Aussie, I am in central NSW.... I did a long study as an adult but quit before I got dunked (baptized).
isn't this a double standard?
the wt leaders forbids or at least strongly discourages higher education, main reason being the risk of getting influenced by worldly thought and associations.

The WTBTS employs Lawyers, but discurages it's members from becomming lawyers! ( I wonder why )
The WTBTS expects only the best medical treatments availiable (blood excluded- or at least bits of it), but wont allow it's members to study and become Docters/Surgens etc...
Thank God for Worldly People ???????????????

one of the first baby dolls i gave my granddaughter was a cute little black baby doll.
she still has it in her car seat and if you try to take her doll from her she says, "my baby!!
" typically little children are color blind.
For me to be racist I would have to hate not only myself but my whole family- my half sister is German, my half brother is Italian, my grandmothers are both a mix of Scottish/Irish/English... my Grandfather is Aboriginal, I have 3 adopted cousins from India, I have Islander cousins, Indian cousins, chinese cousins...
I just see people, not colour!
