putting this out there.....going back 12months ago i was completely different to how i am now.
i am still loyal to jah and dont go against the scriptures, but even though ive recently returned to pioneering (only aux pio at present) i see im a little more laid back.. i think this has come through having to endure hell and back without any help, except jehovah, which im not complaining, im so glad his been there for me, for us both.
but i really believe that due to things that have badly and wrongly been allowed to take place etc its moulded me a little different to how i was.
IA, you suprise me, i mean wow im so shocked that you wish to find fault with what i say..No surely not....really? thankyou for answering my questions, you have played a vital part...I shake your hand with great happiness. Thankyou.
I had been told that i would some like you on here....i didnt think i would but hey they are the older men and i guess they were right, however im glad i have the few friends on here too. Thankyou, thankyou thankyou...so much, truly truly im so happy.
yer cantleave, leyllandies grow VERY quick and are cheap to buy too, but boy watch them for they grow and grow...faster than anything else lol
ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.
so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.
last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.

no
the point is sometimes made in these forums that the societies constant insistence that the end is nigh has meant that so many jws fail to make adequate financial provisions for their retirement.. however , ive noticed an increasing trend amongst jws in middle age to elderly ones that they also havent made adequate emotional provisions , as they have been constantly told that they would never get old in this system.
most non-jws , aware that sooner or later they will experience a deterioration in their health, are mentally better prepared to cope with this.
with many jws it seems to throw them completely.. a good friend , aged around 50 , has just been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness.
Is it true that elders are assigned to ill ones to upbuild and keep them informed of spiritual things? Sounds a loving provision but unsure if its true or if it's actually in every cong?

yup as you clearly state...you mis conclude all the time :) but hey im not having a go at you..nothing personal.
Im not outrageous,i live a good morally clean life. My elders are fine with my lifestyle for i do nothing unscriptual.
Yes i said i DONT want to leave...hence showing what you said "why would i consider leaving" ive never considered that. Thankyou.x
i've heard a little about this business, but i'm curious as to what you all think about it.
jw and exjw women - do you/did you believe it and abide by it?
jw and exjw men - do you still believe it?
DJk..id call it humble..not much of that around in this system, and satan makes it look a weakness...id love to be clothed in humility..so im always working on it :)

thanks truthseekeriam, so deeply sorry to hear of your terrible ordeal. How ones within the congregations can pray to Jah and honestly feel they are being christlike!! I sometimes think its ones like them who forget what being a TRUE servant of Jehovah is all about.
aude sapere I too went to pioneer school but thats a good quote your c/o said, brilliant!! thanks for sharing that :)
outlaw..ive never said no conscequences, you read and make your own conclusions....and ive never said im thinking of leaving. I'll never leave Jah.....
