  further to my post the other day re: jw study who had a conversation with me on facebook and started questioning his beliefs, he has now contacted me back....will post the quotes underneath.. his response:.

  yes i did tell some brothers how confused i was about the information you sent me, they said does it matter where charles russel is burried, i aggree its abou god not man, and as for peadophillia in past yes it did happen in congregations, but that happens everywhere and they said they did not promote it obviously and that people leave when they done that dark act, they said that the police have been employed in past, there are no more cases i now of, again i dont blame god for this he will sort them out...havent been for a while now , at the end of the day there is lots of stuff on net and as long as i am doing it whole from my heart no one judges me but god, i have so many beautifulll friends in the truth, i believe jehova does have a body of people in the world , you do what you will and all the best i just want to do well and all the religions are in wars and do what they want , i am up for 1 god 1 tounge and not doin waht the rest proclaim to do and be there own gods.... its just that all this came out of nowhere , our chats and was damaging to god , i have no idea what you believe in but your messin with fire if you ask me , dont get lost in apostasy and youtube as its a minefield of miss trust.

  thats my view, i hardly know you well at all and you keep contacting me asking what they say etc , i too tired to feel lowe cos you dont really say anything good about god you just seem to want to deter me, not once have you mentioned love peace , jesus , just on about me being mislead, you catch my drift, dont mean to come across rude as i am a happy man , but i get your point how you feel and i have always known fun love great friendships and a relation ship with yaweh,jehova etc so shall we just talk footy and world as its clear you can damage my spiritual health as we not talking about good stuff just jw people are mislead when we should be in union regarding the coming of jesus famines wars, disease im gagging for it to come.. my response:.

  He doesn't sound that he's all that smart. Probably best for him to have something in life which gives him guidance, even if it's the JWs.

  That's the beauty of the internet - ppl from all areas of the world can access it and find others who are questioning the religion.

  30 years ago phones were still attached to the wall and it took a couple of days to receive a letter from a friend.

  So it's easy for young JWs to find other JWs who don't completely swallow the kool-aid and thus can stand up privately, if not publically. Something those of us from earlier generations didn't have the luxury of having.

  She told me that I was spreading it on too thick, and proceeded up scrape off all but a small thin layer of Vegemite.

  Yes, it's meant to be scraped across the bread, not eaten by the spoonful

  I heartily thank my friend BP for sharing with me me the deliciousness that is called Vegemite!

  You're welcome sweetheart!

  I always loved it when some unemployed sister that was going through financially difficult times would leave a check for $400 in the world wide work box.

  You may have been using a hyperbole, but if she's donating that much money when she needs it herself... no wonder she's in financial strife!

  I've never heard of Vegemite with tomato - you learn something new every day!

  I'm so unAustralian... I don't like Vegemite

  so my niece was disfellowshipped about 18 months ago for having a worldly boyfriend who was obviously staying over at her place on a regular basis.

  they now have a house together an are going strong.

  her boyfriend is a nice guy.

  Toughen up princess

  I tend to read more than respond these days. In many ways I've moved on from the JWs so I don't even read many of the threads anyway.

  The Congregation just paid flowers and other expensive for the PO COBE who died two weeks ago?

  by life is to short in

  i have never in my whole life heard of this being done but at my husband's hall they just asked the congregation to pay about $250.00 to help with the cost of the dinner after the memorial and for flowers.. i was a jw for over 45 years and i have never heard of this.

  when my parents died who had been jw's for years i felt lucky fortunate to even be able to use the kingdom hall for their memorial.

  i am just speechless at them giving money.

  No for both occasions, although with the grenade one I might try to drag at least one other person out with me.

  As for the organ donation, I don't see the point of giving up my life for others. And I'm a nce person too.

  I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!

  as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

  well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

  after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.
