  i know, i know...it's all part and parcel of the whole fading thing.....but..... i missed a phone call from an unknown number tonight....oddly enough, had this been a few months ago the number would have still been programmed in my phone.

  the number was to the kingdom hall i used to attend over a year ago.

  i have not set foot in it since probably late april, early may, of 2009. but tonight an elder called.

  RE: reading people's hearts

  i didn't want to hijack highdose's thread because i apparently went off on a rant when attempting to simply comment, so i thought i'd start my own thread.

  this has been something that has just recently become more apparent in my thinking and bugs the crap outta me!:.

  if it is a universal fact that god exists and can read people's hearts.....then why is there the statement that only jw's and those "ignorant" of jw teachings will live?.

  Question for the deaf folks here....

  when i was an active jw i had a several friends that learned sign language in their respective areas to preach to the deaf population.

  i just recently saw a thread on here that mentioned there were several posters here who were deaf or hearing impaired in some way.

  that got me to thinking about something that i'm now curious to hear some possible insight on..... i was always told that the deaf have a very tight knit community and that it can be very hard to earn their trust and/or "fit in" sometimes with them.

  this is probably going to be a doozy of a post, as i'm no good at giving the abridged version of stories lol especially when they are about me.

  lol i tend to give too many details and not get to the point, but i'll do my best to keep things as short as possible.. that being said, i have finally decided to give you all my background story.. i was born into the organization.

  two older sisters.

  random thought/pondering

  first off, i just wanna say that i don't know how i feel about god, the bible, etc.

  i'm in a major state of confusion, as i'm just newly out of the organization and coming to realize all the lies.

  this has led to me questioning everything.. so the other day i was talking with a friend and had this interesting thought (i'll try to explain it as clear as possible without rambling or talking in circles and muddying up the concept lol).
