big boys don't cry!

well that's what we are told anyway!

and i guess this convention is widespread in many cultures.

Curious, isn't it ISP, that women 'say' they want a man to cry and then God forbid if he does.

He'll be labeled a wimp, or a fish-wife. LOL

Good subject.

What would you have done without the WT?

imagine that you had never heard of the watchtower.

imagine that your life and that of your families had never been influenced by wt teachings.. i know for a fact that the wt's philosophy on further education contributed to my not achieving what i should have at school.

this is not to shirk the responsibility for my grades; ultimately they were my responsibility.

Frog Prince:

Whether you choose to adorn you status with the ex- prefix does not change the hard and cold reality that you remain enslaved to your past.

WOW!!!! Would you mind sharing the earth shattering news that we are all products of our childhood environments with the next convention of Psychologists and Psychiatrists?

My rabid response was directed at you because you admonished people to *stop whining.* Who do you think you are? This thread was started with the intent that people could dream that the time they spent peddling magazines was instead spent pursuing an enriching personal activity.

You nor any other person has the right to minimize those dreams, fantasies or whatever else you want to call it.

Larc,
As you know I love you, friend. I will only ever unsheath my talons when provoked. Thank you for your kind words.

Yes, I know the account of the horse whisperer well. I have seen a TV show documentary on this subject.

help myself to send you this information concerning your quote:.

LDH

Well, this being the case, is there anyone from a congregation here who has sent too much money and been refunded?!??!

Anyone receive a letter stating the dollar amount in question was so much it would cover the next month's literature order?!?!

It's not possible that all of the other congregations are sending in donations to the exact dollar amount is it?

Mac old buddy,

If I am reading this correctly, it took the reading of a very sophmoric article:

. If he cultivates in you the hope of going to heaven, that becomes a firm confidence of yours, and you are just swallowed up in that hope, so that you are talking as one who has the hope of going to heaven, you are counting on that, you are thinking that, you offer prayers to God in expression of that hope. You are setting that as your goal. It permeates your whole being. You cannot get it out of your system. It is the hope that engrosses you.

for our dear sister to realize that for 30 years she had never really thought about or was planning on going to heaven?!?!?!

To quote Inspector Gadget, 'Wowsers!'

Anyone out there?

my name is clark.

i have been disfellowshiped since december 31, 1991. i attended the redwood city north congregation and was disfellowshipped along with an elder on the same night...you do the "mathwork.".

i am new to this sight (about 1/2 hour) and am not familiar with the format of the do's and don'ts ... or even if i should be here.... however, i have a question for anyone...(and i'm ready for the answers whether it be from over enthusiastic jw's or people who understand...or from anyone in between).. i was disfellowshipped because i openly admitted before 3 elders that i am gay and lived this life as a gay man despite being previously a regular pioneer and a ministerial servant.
