hi
i watched a show detailing the invention of a "spirit,com"
they recorded funny sounds that "carried" other sounds as well.
it was developed with the (tacit) approval of the pope (pios).
they were voices claiming to be daed people.
allso they recorded voices just by leaving a tape recorder on.
they sounded semi-plausable.
i havent developed a beleif system yey for death, and afterlife, so am at a loss
to explain it.
very weird.

"this is the truth", she said.. well i am now an apostate.

other way around.. however i did have freinds, and was treated well by most people.. now it seems i am "marked".. i have been snubbed twice last week, and met two elders, and one ex-elder as well.. only one an old mate wanted to talk.

only one an old mate wanted to talk. the rest tried to tunnel under me to escape.
do i get a badge or something ?
it would make it easier to ignore me, and i would like the jewellry. (kind of a war medal)

celebrate your past.
it is the foundation for your dreams and goals in the future.
flexibility and adaptability are key.
peace brother.

earlier in isp's thread, someone posted a reprint of a 1952 wt article likening women to cows.. i cut and pasted the whole article to my dad as well as my sister and a jw friend who continues to talk to me despite my being labeled apostate.. i did not change any words, only highlighted or bolded the sentences that i thought were especially outrageous.. i sent the article under the 'guise' of a lighthearted joke to this sister, and telling her she needs to do her wifely duty and bear children to her husband.. a few minutes ago, i received this response from my dad.. lisa, .
i don't understand your purpose in sending me e-mails of a 40-year old article from the watchtower that i already have access to if i chose to spend the time to look it up.
i can sense from your "subject" and the high-lighted portions of the article that your intent was perhaps to riducule the counsel, especially the comparison of a young girl to a cow.
i thought your post was sad.
i hope you make up with your dad.
i am in a similar situation with my mum.
i try to avoid it now.
family is just too important.

well sometimes we are.. look we have the knowledge and experience to help a lot of people.must of us have one time been jw's and understand how many think.so lets not put them off by being too negative.. when we were witnesses most of us were quite happy .
we tried to be good people , to put into practise principles that many people think are good.
we did this sometimes even when we didn't want to , because we thought god would hold us accountable and because we cared for people .
a bit late here but,
a lovely post. i throughly agree.
i for one will try to show less animosity in future.
