I ride a Santa Cruz Heckler

ahhh, got it.

One of my sons is a bicycle mechanic. He has a cute montain bike thingie where his hitch goes. lol He participated in a 12 hour mountain bike event (yes here in Florida). It was a 12 mile loop through the woods and swamps of florida. Long grueling event. Went from 10 am to 10 pm But it was fun to watch, volunteer and encourage the riders.

BTW, we have the Ironman in our town every year and the running part goes right down our street. Front row seats!! whoohoo

So What Is The Point Of It All?

by Swan in

we talk it to death.

every subject.

is it really of any benefit to you to let it out here?

Tammy,

I think toppleing the WTBTs is a grandioso idea. The Catholic Church has been around for ummmm...you add it up....with all their atrocities.

Little by little, telling people about the control of the JWs will help alert people not become involved with them.

BTW, when did you start believing their statistics?? You know they are padded and just what they want the R & F and world to believe.

Just remember you are free and that is great. People will be people and some are just drawn to being under mind control. Well, not drawn, but still they enjoy that box.

No one knows the DAY or the HOUR - have we misread this verse?

by truthseeker in

i was just thinking the other day, about what jesus said concerning the end of the system of things.

he said that, "no one knows the day or the hour...but only the father.".

there are two units of measurement - day and hour.

Joyzabel

Remember the first thing Jesus said was: "Don't be fooled (or mislead, forgot the NWT version)"

is there any concrete proof the JWs are wrong? Iam new here.

iam very new to this forum.

so glad to meet all of you.

ive been reading here for quite a while but never felt the need to join in.

I wish organized religion never existed.

Amen!

psst, FYI, those on the GB are annointed.(or I used to say "profess to be of the annointed, *snort*) Yes even the new ones. The Given Ones? are not of the annointed and sit in on the GB meetings, you know, to help when the old ones can't make decisions and I'm sure to take over when the Annointed Ones? are gone on to their heavenly calling. *snicker*

The different branches of the organizations (mini organizations) are run by many just plain ole JW Bethel elders. Poor things, they will all be listed as responsible when lawsuits hit the WTBTs.

ok, carry on.

i have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.

was it really that bad?

when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.

I went to the memorial service for Talia Balletti.

by hubert in

i sent a pm to one of the forum assistants telling him this, and he said i should post and let everyone know how it went.. i didn't want to do this until mario posted first, because it's about his daughter, not mine.

but, i know all you wonderful people out there are waiting for some news on the memorial service, and i think mario is too grief stricken to be able to write right now.

sometimes these things hit you harder after it's all over, because now you have more time to think about it.

Joyzabel

Thank you Hubert for going and knowing all of would have wanted to be there, too.

May Talia rest in peace and may her family eventually have warm, soft memories of her short life on earth.

Hugs & tears,

englishman had his op today and all is going according to plan.

he's feeling woozy and sore tonight, but hopefully that will pass in a day or so.

chris says he will probably have to stay in for about a week, but no doubt he will be posting if he can get hold of a laptop.

Joyzabel

Thank you for letting us know ((((Belmonts))))

Hey Mikie!!! Hope it all gets better and the plumbing works. Just sit back and relax, let your body recover and don't push getting out too fast.

(((((Christina))))) hang in there sweetie. You do so much for Mike. Enjoy the peace and quiet in your house and be ready for his return.

Hugs to all,
