How did you treat people?

do you ever feel guilty about the way you pre-judged others when you were a drone?.

i feel guilty about it every day!

people's lives are so complex, we know so little of their personal struggles and "thorns in the flesh" yet we're conditioned to prejudge on a checklist of criteria published by a few men in new york.

i always felt deep sorrow for anyone "in trouble"....if they were disfellowshipped,,,,i would go up to them during the meeting and give them hugs in front of everyone...we were not suppose to speak to them,,,but no one ever said you couldn't touch them....i was not well liked by the congregation and didn't like the puishment aspect of things...

i got my ass in trouble more than once,,,

three of my kids live within two miles of where this tornado hit friday night.. it was a pretty frightful night.

my daughters apt was three inches from getting flooded.

we moved what we could to upstairs and on shelves.. stayed in half bath with grandbaby with pillows and blankets over the baby.. my son has been working at this site where it hit to help out.. these pics were taken today (sunday) can't imagine what it looked like yesterday, they said there were over 300 (worldly) .

may you have peace!.

the most holy one of israel, jah of armies, has heard your questions and your accusations regarding him.

his word to you, however, is that you have not heard his questions to you.

what makes you think it was "the lord" that sent you???? even satan can transform himself into an angel of goodness.....are you counting your time?? are you a jehovahs witness???

you and i would never get along...so,,,i will not write anymore....as for worring about what people think of me..TOO FUNNY!! your shout is loud,,,and because of inacurate knowledge and judgement again....your shout will NOT be effective...but will land on deaf ears....the "spirit" being blocked by attitude,,,,,not from those "lost",,,,,,but "those" filled with selfrighteous and "mock" humility.....peaches...

something i have not heard before on this board is waiting in the car out in service or any of the woman who were elders wives waiting on their husbands while in an elders meeting.. i was 24 years old when i got married to an older man he was 41 and had been an elder for about 12 years.

i truly loved my husband when we got married.

i truly loved him like crazy.
