to show you how dumb and shallow my congregation is a one of our "deeper" sisters claimed in field services that "jehovah answers all my prayers...like last week i wanted a new skirt and shoes for field service but only had $20 dollars....and would you believe i found them!!!
now i for one though well, why didn't you pray or the oil pipe in the mexican gulf to dry up...or food for the poor in haiti.
other pioneers tell of vegetables falling off trucks just when they had nothing for dinner???
JOHN 14...verses 13 and 14....."whatever it is that you ask in my name,,,,I will do this,,,in order that the father may be glorified in connection with the son....if you ask ANYTHING in my name....I WILL DO IT......
spiritual people...who have BLIND FAITH...actually believe this...it is quite scarry when you think about it...peaches--shuddering....
has been bugging me since i read it.. she mentioned how a classmate took special delight in tormenting her due to mary's being a jw.. mary mentioned that this girl pointed to and mocked her when she couldn't share in a birthday?
celebration.. are some kids really that cruel?
where were the teachers?.
snowbird...if it is safe for you to do say so,,,,where do you live exactly...thanks...peaches
as opposed to soft, pale bodies?.
thanks for the inspiration, minimus.
sylvia.
i could give a crap what some one looks like.....it is whats on the inside....kindness,,,humor,,,forgiveness,,,,GOD,,,i feel like i am answering at the kingdom hall....but truthfully....i like those qualities quoted,,,,,looks again,,,are the last thing on my list....
we had this couple in our kingdom hall,,,,used to call them barbie and ken...georgous couple....big time....however,,,,2 of the saddest people you could ever meet....they were perfect in "looks" and style.....it has gotten so bad,,,,that the wife said,,,if she went anyplace alone,,,,and if he was home and not a work,,,,that he would SMELL her breath to see if she had eaten anything....(she at all times had to be thin)...
she used to talk with me and cry.....they finally got divorced....it was awful to say the least...two "elders kids" that were suppose to have the perfect life and marriage.....give me some one with personality....FUC!! THE LOOKS....
wendy cloete louwwe lost a sister in our congregation today, had severe depression and tried to take her own life.
sad thing is if the doctors stopped being petty and insisting on bloody and just gave her alternative blood volumiser sooner she might have been fine.
it took the elders hours to get her transferred to a new hospital.
flowers for the poor soul that felt the only way out was death.....
pure hatred for those who have so much "faith" and yet could not see,,,care,,,or were so F'ing stupid they did not recongonize the signs...AND THERE ARE SIGNS....if someone in the congregation has an emotional problem,,,,it should immediately be encouraged to seek "professional help"...and monitored closey.....
there is no room for mental illness in the organization....reguardless of your age....and this is a typical outcome of their complete evil teachings..peaches.....
i studied with this guy for years.
he believed it was the "truth" although a few things weren't right with him.
he asked me how business, family, being an elder was and he was flabbergasted when i told him i was divorced and had left the religion.
that must have been awkward....glad you agree'ed to speak with him....kindness on your part....good luck....peaches
...is when people ask why i wasn't there.
usually i tell them, that i was sick, or not feeling well, which for the most part is true.
what is irritating is when someone presses it, especially someone you are closer with in the congregation.
just tell them you have heard about some really nasty rumors being said about you,,,and you do not have the ability to face anyone...tell them you had to get some antidepressants from your doctor....and he said for you to stay away until you are stronger mentally and can deal with the abuse...
lay on some guilt...they go....peaches
he see's even "the embryo of us"..."and all it's parts are down in writting.." according to the bible.
yet he will destroy millions of kids and babies because their "worldly" parents closed the door on a witness one busy saturday morning..
contradiction????
it is all so sick thinking....i will NEVER understand it....peaches...
we are happy to share it with you !!!.
yesterday:.
today:.
beyond words wonderful!!!! clap...clap....clap....happy for you both...CONGRATULATIONS BIG TIME........peaches

seeing as it's not my lord, but an imposter anyway.
the comments really are funny (and my lord does have a sense of humor, trust me - that's where i get it.
thinking to myself...maybe she is a really nice person,,,,and not just a religious fenatic.. it is nice to meet the "other" side of you... peaches
i appreciate any who tell us what the latest co's talk is about or what was said at the meetings.
i just don't know how you can do it.
knowing that the "truth" is false and even laughable, it boggles my mind that you can still go, listen to the spiritual bullshit and maintain.. how do you do it?.
oh my,,,,reading all this hostility gave me flashbacks that i was at a kingdom hall....there will be phone calls after the meeting to each of the elders,,,there will be a "special" meeting set up to "discuss this incident....are peoples consciences hurt??? who heard all of these things....will the holy spirit be blocked from the hall by these activities??? Lets meet at the hall tomorrow at 4:30pm...after work...
at the very least there is spiritual weakness,,,,possibly some demonic influence!!! let us prayer..
