today i experienced the absolute "climax" in my life .
the first words he spoke to us, when we asked him about the state of health of my aunt, were: .
at this moment we were aware of the fact that my aunt always spoke the truth about this man; but she was unable to help herself.

yesterday's watchtower study appears to have revealed a little.
bit of new light.. there is a scripture in psalm 91:7,8 that speaks about 1000's falling.
at your side.
Thank you, Room 215. The idea that the psalm applied primarily to the anointed was given without any proof.
found this on another ex-jw board, and thought it might be of interest.. .
culled this from a newsgroup [original.

I'm tired of justifying working full-time.
true story.
a new england congregation had to have a "local needs".
talk on why brothers shouldn't be going to topless bars.
The most uncomfortable: coed parties for kids under ten where they were "exploring" each other.
anyone else felt uncomfortable, awkward, wary, unsure, frightened, distraught, when around worldly people?
afraid they were going to try to seduce you, offer you drugs, get you drunk, kill you, etc?.

I have to laugh that everyone took my question quite so literally. I used a little bit of exaggeration to convey a point - that most witnesses avoid worldy people to the point that they seem to feel that they are visiting another country/culture whenever they are around them.
what you got to say, in a nutshell?.
peace.

without honest communication a relationship is empty.
just for fun, i thought we could post what celebrities people may have told us we look like.

i'll be the first one to say it....i'm mainly a fluff poster.
I've gotten sandra bullock and meg ryan.
the elder that was studying with my husband last year called him last night.
during the conversation my husband told him that he's been finding out some troublesome info about the jw's, like their association with the un.
he also mentioned that he has a problem with the way they treat members who raise questions about the teachings of the society and the way they treat ex members.
You should review some of the threads started by hawk. Or I started a thread called something like "One More Question about the UN thing" that ended up being filled with lots of excellent information, which he kindly refilled with everything he had researched.

do they close up shop for the holidays?.
as jw's we didn't mind having the day off and, judging from the holidays i was out in service as a new jw, most did not use that day to knock on doors.. but what if your boss is a jw and so are the employees, do they get the holiday off?
and go out in field service?
Brothers working for brothers in the construction field....
They never know until a day or two before if they are going to have the holidays off. If they ask, they are looked at funny because they don't celebrate the holidays, why would they want the time off? Can't plan any vacations around the holidays because they have no clue if the time will be given off.
