are you at peace with your beliefs?.
1 = very anxious / confused / searching.
10 = complete peace / totally confident in belief system.
Great question Paul.
I am still at the early stages of the dissappointed of finding out I have been living my life in accordance to the decrees of a cult.
I don't know what I believe any more, all I know is I don't believe the BS of any organised religion.
Therefore I would place myself in the 2 - 3 category.
called to let me know that she had it out with a jw relative about her nasty attitude.
my dear auntie was so worked up that she said to the jw, "not one jw i've ever known is happy!".
it's not as funny in written form as it was to hear her exclaiming this over the phone.
It was the shunning that caused me to wake up and start questioning. When a friend of mine dropped his daughter when she need him most, told his wife to remove her daughter's number from her mobile phone and has said he will change his will to disinherit her, I was mortified. His daughter was trying to get out of a marriage that was never going to work, the only way she could was by having an affair. Even then her husband didn't want to let her go so she had to do it again which resulted in her being deemed unrepentant and DF'd. Her father is usually such a reasonable man, I couldn't believe his hardline attitude, which is due only to his following "theorcra(p)tic Direction".
years ago i was at the revamp of a kingdom hall.
one of the sisters told me that since they got rid of the kitchen it was so much better, becuase there were always sisters out there crying!
and now they have no place to go, so they just have to stay in the hall and listen to the meeting!.
There was always a group of sisters who seemed to cry whenever "keep your eye on the prize was being sung" .......... I must admit that awful tune and appalling lyrics could drive anyone to tears .
in convasation with a american recently i was introduced to the horrific concept of putting cream in tea?!?

She is a seeeexy woman - with the voice of an angelic chorus.
seems no matter how hard i try, it winds up all shuffled up, cd covers lost, inserts pulled out, and a pile of loose cd's because who ever is listening never puts them back.. if a few are out no problem.
right now i am working on about 300 loose cd's with run away covers.. i must be doing something wrong.. do you organize by the type of music...like classical, rock, jazz,....?
do you just do it by alpha?
I organize mine by color of the spine.
Good God - My mum used to do that with 192 page books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just got an email from the dean.
i didn't know him well, but we are listed as friends on facebook.
it's really an odd feeling looking at his facebook page and reading all the comments from the people in shock, but what's really weird is seeing his last status update--20 hours ago.
Sorry for the loss of your friend. Make the most of your life don't squander it.
