i am a believer in christ have been df'd since 7/01, but left the jw's in my heart for some time before that.. i feel that the gifts of the spirit didn't end in the 1st and 2nd century but should continue until the church is no longer on earth.. i have been to serveral different christian groups and have heard many speak in tongues, but to be honest i'm not very impressed.. it seems to be, not supernatural,.. but more like the reaction you get when you jump in very cold water, and get a terrible chill that makes your jaw vibrate.. the women seems to be the most prominent ones in speaking in tongues, so i wonder if it is just an emotional response, more than any thing else?.

and if paul said to limit the speaking in tongues to just 2 and only if there is an interpeter, why does the speaking in tongues become so prominent at these meetings?

and how come i never hear a translator interpet what is said?.

I'm with COMF on this one, and I understood him completly, Brother COMF I just want to say

Elders never visit

by rhett in

jw
friends

am i the only one here who has never gotten hardly any shit from the elders?

true, i was never baptized but i was jw for 21 years (born into it).

i was able to weasel my way out of various meetings for about a year then i got married and moved out of my parents house and just totally stopped going all together.

LB

Well without ever being baptized the elders have little control over you. The most they could do is to announce you as a bad association. That won't happen unless you are hanging out with witnesses.

Count your blessings there. Many people live in fear of those jerks.

well, it's sunday morning and i'm sitting here posting on this board when i hear 2 car doors slam.

i peek out the window and see 2 elders walking up to the door.

since i'm still in my jammies, i told my husband to go get the door while i snuck into the bedroom.

A couple of years ago, when I was busy trying to be zealous, I got a butt chewing for giving a KM to an inactive couple.

A Beautiful Mind

by LB in

i see quite a few movies during the year but this one really stands out as the best i've seen for a long time.

russell crowe was fantastic and no longer will i remember him just as the gladiator.

jennifer connelly was more than the attractive girl in this one.

I see quite a few movies during the year but this one really stands out as the best I've seen for a long time. Russell Crowe was fantastic and no longer will I remember him just as the Gladiator. Jennifer Connelly was more than the attractive girl in this one. She has come a long ways as an actress. Don't miss this one.

Snoring/ Help wanted

by Aussiemanhunter in

friends

i have a bad problem where i sore all night.

not just on the inhale, but on the exhale as well.

can anyone help me as my partner finds it hard to sleep.. any suggestions????.

LB

Sleep Apnea is a serious thing to have. Sometimes a person is forced to wear a CPAP machine when they go to bed. This forces air into your airways and you'll sleep much better and wake up rested. Another sign of sleep apnea is getting 8 hours sleep yet feeling very tired throughout the day.

Get that checked out. A sleep study will let you know one way or the other.

first post.

not df, so a bit nervous.

thought i would check in from lurking.

Magog welcome,
The books mentioned are great. Especially if you are in the research stage. There are some very knowledgable people on this site also. I'm not one of them, I'm a fluffer. Not in the porn sense of course, in the message content sense.

Post any questions you may have. Usually they get tons of answers.

A Beautiful Mind

the little girl stands for your family within the organization all the attempts they will make to encourage you to come back and have their approval if you will just submit.

the best friend represents all those that you grew up with in the organization, people you have known all your life, those who you may see once a year at the district convention who rush up to you and are so happy to see you, they make you feel secure and a part of something.

the government agent symbolizes the organization that has desperate need of your services.

LB

Well I'm simple minded. I only saw the movie in front of me and didn't think of anything else. It was captivating though. Russel Crowe did a great job but I was also impressed with Jennifer Connely. She's always just been the cute girl with big boobs, but this lady can act.

Did I say boobs??????

I'm so glad there isn't a back room around here!
