that might be a leap of faith.
F..Darn, were's my bold and brazen Spock voice?..smile
we all memorized the definition of faith... faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for...yadda yadda.. it seems like more and more as time goes by and our scientific knowledge base grows, we need less and less faith and fewer things can be attributed to god.. do you think we need faith or is faith just a word we use to feel ok about being too lazy to keep looking for the answers ?.
what does faith mean to you now?.

Faith in the love of my family and friends. Dispite my mistakes.
The 'biblical: idea of faith i do not relate to any more.
i've heard the expression jdub coming out of the mouths of a couple of witnesses.
does it mean they know stuff about this organization and could possible be visiting sites such as jwd?.
this is leading me to believe that there are a lot more witnesses that have realized that their religion is a scam..
Funny, I was thinking about this myself.
I was talking to an ex-morman missionary and I said JDub as we were discussing our past experiances. He was surprized and said that's what his fellow Missionarie's called them too.
by that, i don't mean so much what you do in your leisure time but how you manage the freedom to choose what you will or will not do.
off the wt treadmill, i no longer feel guilty about what is now my neglect of theocratic activity; however, after a nonstop week such as i have just lived through (barely), i am doing nothing, going nowhere, and accepting no new obligations (for the moment).
i can stare at the sky, enjoy the beautiful day and not worry that demons are rushing to fill the void in my empty skull.. you?.
This time of year its all about the Dead Heads. I love snipping them off. You need to cut them off at the pont in the stem with a five leaf cluster, not three, for proper new rose growth. Learned that last year.
Drying herbs for friends and family. Just got to watch that darn neighbor cat that I caught spraying my nona's oragano. Oh, I think I'm turning into her. My Nona that is. But, that's a good thing.
Waitning on the tomatoes is not as slow as watching paint dry, but close. But who cares when your catching some rays. I mean getting your vitamin D.
Oh, and my private pleasure , a manicure. That I end up destroying in the yard, but I smell good....smile.
It's so nice being off the rat wheel that was my old JW life . I can relax and not feel like I could be doing more. That Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Saturdays are not bad days. And I can give to UNICEF too.
Hope all is well with you CoCo.
can anyone imagine the what the elders in his current congregation must be going through ?!.
in their ideal world, they would have df'd him once they knew there would be a trial so they could play the card "he's not one of jw's.
" but since it occurred in a different congregation and he was already punished, there is little they can currently do.. wow, imagine the buzz in the kh when the info started leaking out.
Oh the irony!
They let this pervert stay in, in other words he is in 'good standing'.
But Barbara Anderson is quickly disfellowshipped before the airing of the show that is exposing this same problem.
Maddness.
i've been looking for a thread, but can't see one ..... .
our fellow member cofty, should be through his surgery, and i'm just sending love and healing energy for his recovery.. .
any well-wishes, prayers, thoughts ..... please join in!.
Dear Cofty,
I hope the sugery went smoothly and you are comfortably healing.
If not, I can send you a nice homeopathic cure-all ;-)
in a few minutes we will be heading to glendon's memorial service.
we live around the corner from that hall.
the service is in just over an hour.
I have been thinking of truman since reading about her son Glendon.
I will send out thoughts of love and strength to her and his loved ones at 2.00 .
yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
sorry if we have this topic..................... .
lmao i'm .....................stoned????????????????
Ow, my thumb....
it's this week, folks.
i thought i might give you a new thread to vent on.
many on our forum still go to the memorial or have to answer to family about not going.
i know this forum has had many favorite album threads.
the question i am asking is, what is your favorite album this second.
no lists please!
HMM...only one. That would have to be Neil Young's "After The Gold Rush" (thank you ;-) But the song that keeps running through my head is Neil Young's 'Comes A Time' (just the chorus) . Just cant get it out.
I think I need to check out the Adele's album , since it is was mentioned many times. Hey Charlie B. Jr., great Zep album and record cover.
