Medium Well - which apparently no one in the resturant industry has ever heard of...it comes out well done with the chared parts scoured off with a brillo pad.
YUM!

New Light! Invisible Armageddon!
by jstalin init is going to be announced that with all the anticipation for the coming of armageddon, we didnt notice the actual event.
thats right, it was an invisible armageddon.
if we take the 70 years of captivity, plus 1914, we get 1984. then we use the people equal hours rule and apply it to the 144,000, using division, and we get 6,000. then we use the hours equal years rule to divide 6,000 by 360 to get 16.66 additional years, add that to 1984, and we get the year 2000 for armageddon!

Haunted Hall
by Virgogirl inwas it just me, or did anyone else experience unsettling, wierd vibes inside a kingdom hall?
it used to creep me out, it felt almost eerie and spooky inside.
sometimes we opened the doors on saturday afternoon to clean, and it was all dark and sinister inside when we entered, and it almost felt like something was in there, not good vibes, either.

Nope.
No vibes. No nothing. Just an empty loveless, joyless building. Even weddings at halls seemed so joyless and prefunctory. Everything routine - nothing spontaneous. Halls for me were always just empty hulls.

Do you find it difficult to tell your JW parents you love them?
by misspeaches indoes anyone find it difficult to express their emotions to their jw parents?
my father has never been a jw and i feel comfortable enough to tell him how much i love him without hesitation.
when it comes to my jw mum i feel like it is forced and then i feel resentful and then i feel guilty all at once.

I have a really strained relationship with my mom too.
It's hard. But it has gotten easier. I think most of the strain was I was still at home and exercising my rights as an adult to choose to not attend church. It was downright ugly.
A lot of it with my mother and I is also she was never really affectionate with me as a kid. She's made it ubandantly clear if she had her life to do over again she probably wouldn't have had kids. Doesn't inspire one with warm fuzzys.
The past few years she has tried really hard to say the "I love you" phrases, to hug, etc. At first it was so hard. I literally stiffened up at her touch. And when she said "I love you" I felt the only thing I could say was "I know". I know that hurt her - and I know deep down it was wrong - but it was a hard transition for me to make.
Since I have been out on my own - and since she persisted and never gave up on me (she could have - I wasn't exactly cuddly at first) it's gotten a lot easier. Now when I see her I get hugs coming and going. Even a few "I love you" and lots of "I miss you". Enough time has passed. I can tell my mom I love her and mean it, I know I always meant it - and I also know I will never have a really close cuddly relationship with her - ever. It's not her style - too much time has passed I think, and there is the JW thing between us. When she says she misses me - it still seems like a lie. I know deep down it's now, but that naughty little cynical voice in my head says "whatever"
I think it will just take more time with us. Right now my huge acomplishment is not feeling like I am going to jump out of my skin when I get hugs - and actually being able to enjoy quality time with her. It's a work in progress - we both have a lot to atone for.
Mother daughter relationships are never easy it seems - and having the religion factor mixed in doesn't seem to help much.
Not sure if any of this was very helpful for you - I guess I am just trying to say - I can relate, I have felt the guilt, and I think I understand where you are coming from.

Saturday morning, a Peaceful New World tract, and a conversion van
by Gopher inthis past saturday morning, two jw's encountered a householder (a friend of my co-worker) with an interesting perspective.
his brilliant and humorous insight into the "peaceful new world" tract is below!
id just settled down with canettis brilliant novel, translated as auto-da-fe, to listen to a saturday midmorning beethoven concert, when the doorbell went off.. .
