as a born in jw, i've always believed that jehovah had no beginning per say.
at the same time i've had the house and watch having a creator argument stamped within my brain for use against evolutionists.
some days its difficult rationalising god's existance as having always been, with everything else needing to be created by him.

i'm sure i'm the very last person to notice the day shift / night shift groups of posters but i kinda think it's funny when i pop in on an evening and discover posters i've never seen, but who have 10,000 posts.. that's all.
carry on.
situation "normal".. edit: hi, night crew, i'm on the day crew, btw..
Here we go again...

sarah ann is the name of mine.. syl.
All of my friendships, either inside or outside The Truth TM , have been transient and temporary. The longest a friendship would last would be a few years... then they'd move out of town and drift away. Anything even close to being a "Best Friend" would be few and far between. Now that I'm swearing off being a JW forever, I'll need close friendships more than ever, especially considering that I might stand to lose my family at some point...

but her reply made me so very envious.
you know my mother always would tell me, "wordly people aren't really happy.
" as a kid that always bugged me because i figured if people are laughing, smiling, and generally having a good time, they must be happy.

@rebel8,
I think what Miz meant by "ruining" a woman was that if a guy dates a woman (and maybe marries her?) and makes her life miserable, when he continually lies and manipulates, it could make her feel devastated and incurably cynical, especially when the relationship fails after many years. It has a lot more to do with than just sex, sweetie...

this is something i've thought about for a while now.
it seems like the same story on this board over and over--the husband, who also might be an elder, ms, etc.--starts having doubts and researching, aka miseryloveselders and franklin massey and others.
he starts to smell the coffee and realizes that this organization isn't what it claims to be.
It is true that men's reasons vs women's reasons for waking up are often on opposite sides of the logical/emotional continuum. Perhaps it's true that the ratio of men vs women waking up first favours the masculine side of the scale but I doubt it's quite as lopsided as it would seem to the mermaid. We DO see ladies waking up because of being excluded from the group, being the outsiders in their own congregations, usually through no fault or doing of their own. Men on the other hand, usually become at odds with the congregation and/or the WTS because of things of their own doing. There are of course statistical outliers on both sides who end up being the opposite of what's typical of their gender, but, all-in-all, we are all individuals and we all do things for our own reasons...

just haven't heard from him lately.
maybe i've just missed his posts?.

Incorrect, Mary. Shamus doesn't live in BC, but I do. The problem is that nobody knows where OUTLAW lives in BC; it's a big place you know. It's like some big military secret. Trying to find OUTLAW would be like trying to find a needle at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Do you know something we don't? If not, ask Purps!

i heard from an american friend that gas prices were at record highs over in the states.
they had just paid $3.34 for a gallon of gas, which, here in britain, is remarkably cheap.. doing the maths;.
1 gallon = 4.5 litres.
Sam Whiskey? I could swear that it's cameo-d...
