  i guess the co came by with a local elder.

  funny thing is only my husband's name is on it.

  we are both inactive, but the rumors are that i celebrate everything now (i do).

  Studied with JW grandma for 3 years and went to meetings, I have now seen the light!

  im new here and im 17, going to turn 18 in 1 week.

  i studied with my gradma the bible teach book and went to meeting with her and other relatives (considering most my relatives are jw except my parents) and i believe in all of it because i never read the bible for myself.

  after reading the gospels i started noticing contradictions in the jw doctrine like when jesus said many would dine with the patriachs in the kingdom of heaven (yet only 144,000 jws can) which would seem odd considering the fact he adressed this to more then the apostles.

  Hi Totally.......omg that sounds like heaven!

  More of us need to grow our own food, makes

  you healthy to be outside to feed the chickens &

  collect the eggs, digging & weeding a garden gives

  a good appetite as well as fresh "organic" food!

  I would do it again in a NY minute...given the chance!

  ...when i told them i didn't believe anymore.

  they cried like i'd never seen before.

  my oldest, 10, pleaded with me that she'd do anything to get me to keep going to meetings ("i'll get a's on my report card!").

  Syl .... it sounded like... you swallow the lemon whole ...

  and then wash it down with water! hahah it just hit my

  funny bone that's all!

  I never had those problems, & was so glad cause my

  job was really difficult & worked with mostly men at the time!

  The only thing that I gave credit to, was vitamin E & calcium.

  The inevitable memorial invitation

  by Really?! in

  i knew it was coming.

  i'd managed to swerve it once already when i saw the paper invite laid out all special in my mothers kitchen when i arrived at her house..i avoided the kitchen for the rest of the visit.. had the family over this weekend, we were alone whilst preparing food and i knew from the second that the tone in her voice changed what was coming.

  the usual words along the line of "i invite you every year, i've got the paper invite to give you as well (like that would make a difference?!
