Sure, but I have to go to bed now. Sorry, because I do want to talk about those exact topics. Maybe tomorrow evening when I have more time.

by Deacon infor those who have left the confines of regulated thinking, either voluntarily or by being thrown out...and who currently are lost....where to now?.
i took time to read a few books, do some research and recharge.
i received some very nice emails from total strangers who encouraged me with their loving concern, and to all those i say a heartfelt thank you.. yesterday, a long chat between isp and myself left me thinking..what do we believe anymore?

Goodbye, and Thanks For All the Fish......
by Prisca indear all,.
it is with much regret that i have decided to leave jw.com.
it is not a decision i have made lightly, in fact i had been thinking about it for many weeks now.. i am leaving because i cannot be a part of a forum that condones abuse and deliberate offensiveness towards other posters.

The Tomorrow Trap
by ozziepost ina us columnist writes of encountering hundreds of people who, she says, "essentially live for the future, taking refuge in visions of a relaxed, rewarding personal and family life somewhere down the road".
she calls this "the tomorrow trap" - a kind of mirage that people chase while in reality they are burying themselves in work and other pursuits".

Time for family? Not with 5 meetings perweek, field service, etc.
One time my father was asked how he was so successful raising me and the elders were not with their own. His responce was I came first and the elders had no time to spend with their children.

What a bunch of crap. I am so glad I am out of that mess. The story said something about the Kingdumb Hell having windows. Since when? The Kingdumb Hells around here don't have windows.

Thanks, I have not had the time to study Calvinism. Since my girlfriend is Buddhist, I need to look into it first. Little by little I am going to learn something about most mainstream religions.
