my born-again christian friend that help me leave the wts is devoted to telling jews that they are going to hell for not believing in jesus christ.
i tell him all the time that i believe that jehovah and jesus going to save jews if their worship is sincere.
he insist that jews and anybody that is not a born-again christian is going to burn in hell for eternity.

as mentioned in my other thread, my daughter lena is having brainsurgery on monday, jan 24. the surgery will last 6-7 hours, so i'm hoping the board members will be willing to make a special effort tomorrow to send positive thoughts, healing energy, good wishes and prayers her way.
we are asking that the surgeon's hands be delicate and skillful and that lena does not bleed overmuch and that brain damage be minimal (if not non-existant).
surgery begins at 8 am eastern standard time (us), but we have to have her to the hospital by 6 am, so this is "good night!
Wonderful news, Brenda.
wow, what a big sigh of relief. Please let us know about how everything turns out. I hope you two took this semester off to recoup after all this "stuff". mmmmkay!
Hugs,
Joy

i am not posting this to justify my actions, i am doing so for the benifit of any witnesses who are unsure about there feelings toward the "truth".
i was a reguler pioneer for about 8 yrs, back when it was 100 hours a month, befor thet i did a couple of yrs as a vacation pioneer, they later changed the name to auxilery pioneer, and during the following 20 yrs i had a few intermitant spells as an auxilery when i had time to.
during my pioneer years i have given talks at circuit assemblies and had assignments at district assemblies .
Welcome Londoner,
you summarized what we all have gone through as we pass on in our life:
I feel my life has been wasted, taken from me, yes I am bitter, I still lose sleep over it often, but I am slowly starting to feel a heavy weight has been lifted from my back.
Give yourself time to grieve, heal and move on. Someone first suggested to me when I came here that it will take at least 2 years before you really feel "deprogrammed". So take your time, start looking at what really interests you and your wife. There is no hurry for anything anymore and don't be anxious to live all the things you think you missed out on. Just learn to love the life you have and who you are now. It will be ever changing.
Looking forward to hearing from you again.

tuesday.
ditto, what bikerchic said.
i was fired.
i can't believe it.
it has come as a total shock.
Glad to hear you have a job interview set up, Inkie.
Nothing throws like being fired. Keep remembering how long you have worked and that you are a good worker. Don't let one a$$hole cloud your opinion of yourself. Remember he's an a$$hole.
btw, you didn't answer my question.
