i wonder if anyone can find the stats for this, i'm doing a slight bit of research for a question.
any help is greatly appreciated..
Tuesday, I know it's all that bible reading that you did in your younger days... you have the country spelled right in the header, but you are spelling it the way of the book of Philippians in the NT. You still have time to edit and correct the error. And the Philipinos will be happy. And us grammar nerds.
Love your videos!!!
i need to get back into my routine.
just trying to find some good motivation to keep on track.
starting today i'm going to work out 30 mins on weights one day, and the next day 1 hour running or walking.
I'm an old broad, but on my mom's side they dont live really long. I do water aerobic and toning, (at the Y) 4-5 days a week. Gotta keep my heart strong. It's hot here this summer, 90+ today.... The water is the only place my knees tolerate. I am looking forward to school starting again; we have to share the pool with lots of kids.
it's sunday morning, shouldn't y'all be at the kh?
i can't believe that you all would rather be doing something else besides sitting at the kh enjoying the latest spiritual nourishment served up from the loving gb.......you must be a bunch of heathens!
heh, i am getting ready to go to work and then i am having my latest beau over for sunday dinner.
Funniest thread ever!!!
well, guys, here it is.
it's going in the mail tomorrow.
it's for me but, dad, it's also for you.
This is a powerful thread and needs to be read by all the lurkers and newer members!!! It hit me like a ton of bricks.
a lot of people here have read and highly recommend ccmc by steven hassan and coc by ray franz, myself included.
i don't know how i would have handled leaving the borg without that knowledge.. so thinking that got me to wondering, who here has not read them (or has read one but not the other), and how are you coping with exiting the borg?
did you get counseling?
Read Crisis of Conscience and have In Search of Christian Freedom... am still reading it in spurts. Combatting Cult Mind Control is on my search list on ebay. I got the others from ebay for less than $10.00 each including shipping. Good stuff!
watchtower lawyers response .
today i uploaded a new article to my blog comparing what a watchtower lawyer wrote in a medical journal with what watchtower had actually directed.
i think readers will find it of more than a little interest.
Question: Now that the bookstudy is part of the Thursday night routine does anyone (Ynot???) have recent experience with the medical directive thing? I left so long ago that they were just starting with the card thing (pre 1970).
i thought it was meaningful to observe the spontaneous apologies being given and accepted lately.
all this among christians and atheists.
i know there are some who are concerned about our image as xjw's.
I am sorry, I just know I have hurt someones feelings (I just dont know who) Bttt
i have been df-ed for almost 9 years.
just out of curiosity, has anyone decided to find another religion or belief after being jw?
i struggle with my feelings, my mom and brother, aunt, cousins are all jw.
Annie I found "Crisis Of Conscience" on ebay...It took a week or two but it finally came up. I got it for less than $15 including shipping. If I hadn't sent it to my sister I would send it on to you. Ebay takes a little while but everything comes up sooner or later.
how do jw's deal with the fact that if you fry up a hamburger, there's some blood in it?
do they eat it anyway?.
Really, if they were worried about blood, they would eat kosher.
just another update on 1 australian senators quest to squash the tax free status of scientology/jw's and other cults:.
http://www.theage.com.au/national/call-for-independent-charities-commission-20100912-1570g.html.
now the election is over, hopefully wont take too long for legislation to pass.
When the "society" pays for the entire hospital bill for any of their dupes who decline a blood transfusion, so that those alternate options (which can be very expensive), then there might be a reason to let them retain the tax exempt status.
