after two months of not coming to my house, today about two hours ago, one of the elders that came two months ago came to my house.
he was in serve-us with other brothers from the spanish cong and came into my house with a friend of mine (not another elder).
he said he wanted to talk to me, and he said it in front of my mom and my dad (both were there).. what was interesting is that it seems like it will be a one-on-one for half-hour.
They arrange a meet with you and you dont know what it's about or who exactly will be meeting with you?
Thy dont charge you $$$s to ask questions you know.
When you get sales calls from strangers on the phone are you the type who says OK and cant get yourself off the phone until you've bought something from them? If you aren't then you give a good impersonation of one.

so here i am after about 18 months of wake up.
the first 6 months were a rollercoster of feelings as my whole belief system unravelled.
the last year has been more stable but things seem like they are just stalling now.. my wife is aware of many of my feelings although i have held back the fact that i am pretty close to denying all belief in any kind of god.
It's easy for me to say just do it, but I know I stuggled with quitting earlier than I did despite knowing it was bollocks for fear of the reactions of my familly, and I am single with no wife and kids to consider.
But yes, you know that you will be stuck like this until you change it yourself.

"Miracles" is obviousy the term used to convey the ones purportedly done by Jesus during his ministry, ...we know that and you know that.
hubby informed me that an announcement was made to his congreation not to approach us when we are out together.
this was done at his request.
another way he can control me i guess.
Hubby is talking bollocks most likely and unless / until you have the story verified from someone who would honestly know about it you shouldnt even believe it.
Sounds like you are in an abusive relationship and need to get out.
Phone or visit the COBE and get his viewpoint.
last night i was finally able to make it to the movies and saw 'lone survivor', starring mark wahlberg.
i did a little research beforehand about the film.
premise: 4 u.s. navy seals are trapped in the mountains of afghanistan during a botched attempt to capture a taliban leader.
I'd queued this up to watch later already, so now look forward to it a bit more already thanks...
there are several of the new bibles on ebay, but here you can buy the whole box of 32. i don't know if this link will show the original listing, you may have to click on that to see the description.
i wonder where these came from, the description seems a bit strange.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/case-of-32-2013-new-world-translation-of-the-holy-scriptures-watchtower-bible-/261362288068?pt=lh_defaultdomain_0&hash=item3cda6805c4&nma=true&si=cb4ceo6bt8tstei2ousxlhx8hva%253d&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557.
"Part of a bulk purchase" ... makes me wonder where they bought them from? And then where they bought them from, etc...
There is only one way these got into this position is that they were at some point stolen and sold on by someone as I highly doubt the WTS sells them in bulk. to anyone.

i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).
Exactly. When I was waking up to the real truth i took special notice of all these little "conundrums" nature threw in the face of any creator and the obvious point was staring me in the face, ...evolution had all the answers all along.
from purely anecdotal evidence, i believe women are more indoctrinated on average.
i can openly disagree with the governing body with men and it results in a discussion however, most women i've talked to have immediately shut me down by ending the conversation.
the only person currently shunning me is a woman.
Yep, as said already you missed out the obvious choice... children.

Because there's no good TV channels in heaven...
