hm of you with a divided house have to put up with this?
in this house its walking a mine field.. also our little cat has been gone for some 24 hours and her absence is also my fault apparently..
Hope kittius kattius comes home safe and sound. My cat and prior ones are/were indoor ones....we abut conservation land that is home to coyote, bobcat....Fisher cat....so pets aren't particularly safe around here.
As for the post convention blues.....sorry it's difficult. Why not plan a special treat....take her somewhere she likes...do something fun?
when was that first preached , with the book babylon the great has fallen gods kingdom rules ,the 1970`s ?
where they claimed that false religion had a fall in 1919 and that it was continuing to that day .
however today we see not babylon the great that is falling ,but the jehovah`s witnesses religion that are on the decline ,selling off branches , kingdom halls in one place after another throughout the earth .. and only a couple of years ago they were predicting they would be needing thousands of kingdom halls to be built for the expected influx of new worshippers ?
And the little one that became a thousand....... Then fizzled out?
... "has brexit been sorted out yet?
".
Hahaha....I'm American but have read about the euro zone and Britain....that is funny!
just yesterday, a pimi jw that i've known for years told me that at the end of a wedding they recently attended in pennsylvania, usa, the "brother" that officiated the ceremony concluded by saying to the bride and groom, "you may now embrace the bride.
no kissing.
just a hug.
This is ridiculous. But then given the source not surprising. Next perhaps a you and the bride may now shake hands.
The thing about giving sensitive sexual topic parts to young or new converts though is appalling. What are they thinking? In the first place it is not in good taste or appropriate to have talks on those subjects with prepubescents in the audience.... That cult is sick. Maybe they'll adopt some Islamic type rules about things next. Can't believe I was part of that mess.....so glad and happy to be long gone.
do you ever find yourself starting to hum a jw tune subconsciously?
several times while driving alone i started singing one of them, and then i get to an offensive lyric which jolts me 'awake', and i say something to myself like 'no!
if anybody heard they'd think i was a few bricks shy of a load 😆.
Thanks a lot. Move ahead move ahead to maturity...SCREAM!!!
if you have , was it worth what you paid?
?.
We fell once for a hose one...the kind that scrunched up when the water is out...the thing came and was not the size they claimed and the price charged was significantly higher than advertised. It was a total hassle...the 800 number was not real...and the return address bogus. I did end up finding a place to return it along with my letter of scathing indignation. Did find a similar type hose for about half the price from another vendor...it only lasted one season though. So ..... No matter how fabulous the hype I will never fall for those ads again.
for nearly two years i have not seen any jehovah's witnesses going door to door in my neighborhood.
that was not the case when my wife and i first moved here (north central oregon).
in fact, our neighborhood was visited at least once every 4 to 5 months - even in the coldest winter months.
How can they even stand it....to sit around in a car mindlessly....slowly driving in circles....hanging out on doorsteps for minutes on end.....ugh. I quit fs very early on in my prolonged fade.....and prior to that I was criticized because there were drug crime infested zones I categorically refused to go in. I wasn't exercising faith in the angels protection....and I was denying the life giving message to the down trodden. Evil me.
hi i’m getting disfellowshipped on thursday and was wondering what advice those that have left have for me.
i’m not sure if i still believe or not.

Welcome. Take the opportunity to step away from the religion and simply live your life free from the judgements of people that are no better than you and who really have no authority over you except that which you choose to accept. Work, play...make new friends...live free. Life unfettered by religion is a beautiful thing....and spirituality exists beyond the walls of kingdom halls.
go- teach.
par.1 : marching orders given to 500 attendees, none of them anointed, but 11 partakers, jesus taught and served people with an "earthly hope" and the commission to go was not as wt now claims a mandate to the gb members; the os only being supposed supporters.
4) new disciple stops drinking.
This thread is as confusing as that religion! How happifying to be long gone and far away from it......except for my predilection for this site which I find fascinating to see how loony the whole thing has become.
Those lyrics to that cult chant......seriously??? Ayiyiy!!!
i've thought about keeping this to myself but i'm still confused on what i should do.. my ex wife(never been a jw) and myself(raised in the org till 16)have been reconnecting these past few weeks.
we been divorced for almost 10 years, we got married when we where pretty young, and it didnt last long.. fast forward 10 years, her and i have been reconnecting and things are getting semi serious.. she got remarried, divorced again, and recently broke up with her gf.
so in the past 10 years she has only been with 3 people (including myself) and here comes me "a sucker with no self esteem".
Love is the key to a strong and lasting relationship. Base line question....are the two of you in love with each other? Just wanting a marriage doesn't make it a good decision. Unselfish loyal love .....both ways is the only way it works.
Think about it....if you take sex out of the picture....can you live happily ever after? Reality bites.
