  Bible Study Burns Down the House...

  by Sparkplug in

  2. friends

  someone just mentioned 1978 and it reminded me that a bible study of my mothers burnt our house down while we were gone to the international convention in california.

  she robbed us blind and then toasted our house.

  do you think jehovah had a plan there and that we were being blessed for sitting something like 8 freaking days out in the sun in california?

  Thank you for taking the time to post a remarkable life. I hope others have read your story, it's at:

  Maybe this will encourage others to start writing their biography. Doing so helps one to reflect on their past, and the progress made through life. It can be a paragraph, or pages, but the process of writing about who we are is good for the soul.
  
  Thanks again, Sparkplug!

  Did your Mom ever come to her senses? It's one thing to get pissed on, it's another thing to thank the person doing it.
  
  The mind of a True Believer is remarkable!

  Sparkplug -- I'll bet the Tower wanted you to report this blessing at the next assembly. I'm sure the Tower set up a fund for your family so they and other could help. Most of their (our) $$$ was tied up in stocks, bonds, and real estate, but I'm sure they did the right and moral thing and helped a family in need.

  Another Reason People Invented "God" -- Absolution

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we've all hurt people at one time or another.

  some may have managed to keep it to the "made me feel bad" level, but others of us have hurt people severely.

  this has almost surely been true down through the ages.. sometimes the people we hurt can't be asked for forgiveness.

  introductions so i never said the official "hi i'm a newbie thing".

  now i'm a junior member and i thought that maybe i should speak up and just say hi to everybody out here that gave me good advice when i needed it and made me laugh in spite of things.

  hi to all that i haven't gotten a chance to talk to yet and hopefully we'll get the chance here soon.

  2. friends

  whilst i was sitting upon my porcelin thinking chair today i had a flash(originally translated as "splash") of new light.

  why not get some wbts toilet paper printed.

  i checked around and getting it done is no problem.. you can have up to 16" x 3.5" repeated area.

  It's a great idea. Rolls could be made up of WT old light--that would fill a large roll without repeating itself. :-))
