Stopped counting at 100. Why are you shoe lovers embarrassed? At any given time I have about 6 pairs in the car. I keep the off season shoes in the basement. I have so many because I find so many great bargains. One of my most proud is this cute pair of Prada platform high heeled sandals marked down to $55.00.

So close, they're saying it every meeting?

by CrimsonAshes in

was listening to the meeting on the phone tonight, and the second half, after the song, one of the announcements said about the gt.. at first i thought they said "great tribulation one day away," but then i listened to the rest, and realized it was "great tribulation is one more day near.

" either way....they're saying it at every meeting now?

and the reason it was an announcement was because they were announcing baptisms.

That seems weird.

concerning "morality" in the congregation, did you ever think "how do we have the nerve to judge "worldley " people ?

by looloo in

when i was a study , at first i was really impressed with the high morals in the congregation and how "happy "everyone seemed , i eventually fell for a pioneer and commited adultery , which i felt and was made to feel the most wicked woman in the world for .

(i am married to him now ) but after i left i found out just how much had really been going on in the cong , there was one brother who had been having an affair for 5 years with a sister (he was married ) he only got reprooved and she was disfellowshipped !

i found out lots of people who wed in the hall had already done the "deed" child abuse had not been reported etc domestic violence situations , all though i am not in a position to judge "wrong doing " myself im amazed that so many in the cong had the nerve to look down on church goers "immorality " or "worldly people considering what they knew had gone on in the kingdom hall !.

Yes, guilt and shame is what keeps people coming back.

That's true CC, but try getting them to admit those problems exist.

I remember watching the Dateline expose years ago, I was still very much in. I was watching with another sister, I said that I believe that it happened. She told me be careful, it's probably just apostates making accusations. I felt it was likely true d/t the things that the victims were told- "wait on Jehovah, etc" I've heard that helpful "counsel" before. What most JWs do is attack the source quickly, therefore they don't have to hear any accusations made. She wouldn't even consider whether or not the accusations could be true, just focused on who was doing the accusing. My mother assumes that anything I tell her I got from the net, so she doesn't listen.

Really COOL(or Really DUMB) Vanity plates

by serenitynow! in

so i have a 100 mile daily commute, so i see lots of plates.

i get a kick out of the good ones.

saw 2 hearses- toolate, lastrde, guy in a navy caprice classic-notfuzz; minivan-mmbeer.

"I'd say the 4 is to be read as an A"

"CASINO"

I feel so retarded. I didn't think it could be that simple.

I hate any plate that is Jesus related, or with scriptures, or anything about being "blessed" and all that. I always wonder what kind of person he/she is really. It seems very self righteous.
