I bought some book on the Historical Jesus last spring. Tried multiple times to read it and just got tired head. Had no clue what the author was trying to convey.

That's where women that get abused come from. The guy is just programming his daughter to take abuse. Well she held onto this bomb for seven years and dropped it today the week before his re-election. I guess someone is getting the last laugh today.

Your friend should go up to the podium, clear his throat, adjust the microphone, then say "This is all a literature selling scam out of hand". Then he should walk out, go to the bar and get really drunk. Wake up the next morning and try not to regret the years wasted that gave him a chance to give the talk.

You can't let other people control your emotions. Easier said than done but it's impossible to function any other way. Maybe a little bit of unresolved anger too. You mentioned "flipping". When I feel that way, I just avoid people and situations that might provoke that till I am in a better state of mind. You don't work for her, you can ignore the beckoning finger and she is welcome to complain to the "estate manager".

Hello--new to the witnesses...and you
by LKM injust wanted to introduce myself.
i went to the kh for the first time 2 weeks ago...and will go again tomorrow.
i don't believe anything witnessy...(i was raised in the assembly of god church and now the closest thing i "do" with religion is yoga or sometimes the buddhist temple).... but the man i'm in love with is a df'd jw (we've been together for 6 years).... and he wants to get reinstated just to talk to his family again (i can assure you he does not believe it).... and he wants his family to accept me because we are about to get married... so, i'm going to meetings...its very interesting, but only because it shows me more about how he was raised.

LKM, Forgive me if I am repeating anything. I only read the first page of replies and outlaws graphical and accurate sentiment.
What you are saying (innocently) is like me hearing someone say this:
My boyfriend stopped slamming heroin but doesn't want to alienate his heroin injecting family and friends so we are doing heroin occasionaly with them.
My bigger question is I was you would be: If your boyfriend is ready to take a big step like marriage why does it matter what his family thinks? Second, why are you enableing this?

I think you meant a "757 is not capable". The ground effect alone would be bumping you around a good 30-50ft.

My only own regret when I left
by Joey Jo-Jo inmy parents are still witnesses, i read coc, isocf and conceptoc, then decided not to attend meetings.. i told them everything i knew about what was written and this pushed them away from me and further into the "truth", we still talk like a normal family but when a topic merges that i speak about jw's i get shunned, they don't comment.
i didn't understand why they continued to believe after i mentioned gb voting system, un, and others, i also mentioned about ray franz and what the bible really says, dad asked me why not i just join his (ray's) religion since i know so much.. i knew about hassans books but didn't see them necessary at the time, but i didn't understand why they are acting this way.
i just finished releasing the bonds, now i understand why they acted the way they did and why they didn't listen, my only regret was not reading this and combating cult mind control earlier.. so we were all brought up in the truth, all my family members are in the truth, during the years they were taught not to think anything negative about the religion - that's how you loose part of your critical thinking skills (remenber how the brothers kept remind of how happy we all are.).

There is a point where we have to accept eachother. JW or not there are a lot of things I do that I know my parents would not approve of. We all the right to believe what we want to believe not matter how illogical.
I tell myself it's not they are killing baby seals or drowning puppies. Sometimes it helps to put things in perspective.

No plane. Hitting that building right at the wall would be an act of extremely skilled piloting as well. As big as a 757 is you would expect to see the tail section flip over the roof and continue to travel.
