  Well I have been labeled as an Apostate...

  on facebook.

  it turns out i was asking too many thought provoking questions, and a "sister" investigated.

  7 months ago this would have devastated me, now it just makes me laugh!

  i received this message from a jw on jwc@fe, after i asked some simple questions:"miss jada, every sentence or phrase in the bible can very easily be turned into a question.

  it doesnt take much to raise questions.

  even jesus himself left some questions unanswered.

  I have not really been to any neutral type of funerals. But I have lots of ideas. I would make it in a beautiful place, like a park or somewhere the person loved to be. I would make sure that it was more of a sharing happy memories kind of thing and praising the person and showing love and comfort to the family. There is no need to tell people where the dead person is or might be. No one REALLY knows...the dead can't talk. Kind of a morbid subject, but I think that it is interesting as well.

  The Powerful Trend No One Comments On

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  i happen to work with a number of 20 - 30 year olds and i am stunned by the overwhelming social/tech trend that has emerged among them:.

  the obsessive - minute to minute use of electronic devices (i. e. 'smartphones, i phones, and the like').

  these people are so intensely addicted that they can't stay away for more than a few minutes and keep using them during critical functions at work.

  This is very true. It can be addictive to see new emails and messages. The more stuff that is networked, the more curious people are.

  If your girlfriend runs the other way, she is not for you! We all come with some kind of past baggage. I met a man who is so unbelievably supportive and there for me during this difficult time as I am only 15 mos out. He is patient, has been taking it all in, and helping me to tick off items from this "bucket list" that we talk about. I have met a lot of his friends and have been open about all of this, and people are very kind and sympathetic and somewhat shocked. It is such a huge part of our lives, but I can see being 15 years out, how it is a small part now for you.

  Good luck on the hunt for the right person, I think that is cool how she approached you at the market though, must have felt good!

  Cheap tequila is awful, but some nice smooth stuff is very enticing. I am a wine drinker myself, but a shot of some of the hard stuff once in a while always is nice.

  I looked this up just now and came up with this list:

  Following are the religions that no longer exist.
  
  1. SUMERIAN RELIGION
  2. BABYLONIAN RELIGION
  3. ASSYRIAN RELIGION
  4. EGYPTIAN RELIGION
  5. GREEK RELIGION
  6. MITHRAISM AND ROMAN RELIGION
  7. GERMANIC AND NORSE RELIGION
  8. MAYA RELIGION

  If this list is accurate, that really doesnt make me feel hopeful that the JW religion might someday be brought down. These religions are no doubt very, very old, and probably just small offshoots from some other mainstream belief system.

  I have been very honest with any potential suitors and even friends about my background. Not one person has ever looked at me like I was a one eyed green monster.
