even though i was raised a witness, i was never convinced that the end would be in 1975 or even in my lifetime..
The sad part of this realisation, is that Im still coming to terms with the fact I will never see my darling mum ever again.
When she passed away, I guess I was in a bubble, kind of wandering around like nobody or nothing could touch me, because I was SURE Id see her again in Paradise.....................that bit really sucks. It still does actually.
following the recent breakthrough i have just sent the following email to sky news, expanding on the issue of the "mentally diseased" article to incorporate the issue of uk charitable status.
i feel this is a good angle to go at, because sky news tends to focus on uk economic policy issues quite extensively.
5 million per year in government gift aid being frittered away on a charity that condones breaking-up families and blocking medical treatment seems to me to be a newsworthy item.. here is the email.
I thought that very same thing Ceders, last week on Radio 2. At 12, Jeremy Vine does a 2 hr slot. Now most of it is very interesting, but the past few days were trivial and a bore (IMO).....suddenly, in the middle of my kitchen mid-washing up, my eyes glazed over as i played a story out regarding the "mentally diseased" slur...(in my head obviously)..I got all warm and snuggly , had a ridiculous half smile, ...my revire only to be broken when I realised Id been drying the same cup for over 10 mins.
Oh, just imagine Jeremy Vine getting hold of it, hes like a dog with an overbite with some subjects.......
Keep at em Ceders, youre doing a great job. x

dear friends:.
for years now after my exit from the wtbts i have searched for god.
as i have previously mentioned in other threads i looked into many other religions, including druidry, zen and tibetan buddhism (not really a religion), asatru, native american shamanism, kemetic orthodoxy, gnosticism and pandeism.
I dont think anyone of us "has it"...the answer.
As long as your life works for you, then thats the closest we come to being the best we can be. With or without God.
It doesnt make you better or worse than the next person.
Enjoy your life.
Live well. Laugh often. Love much.

This is spreading like dairylea on a soft roll...........lovely.
Well done those involved x
the wt study was always my favorite meeting as i could sit back and soak up all the unintelligent comments made by high school dropout pioneers or home learned children.
my favorite is when i would hear people make up their own words.
misunderestimate.
"fleshly brothers and sisters"..as opposed to "spiritual brothers and sisters"........................ gimme a freeking break!
as elders we were told that tattoos were a no no!
because leviticus 19:28 says not......and jar hoover doesn't change according to micah.. the verse prior says not to cut your beard.. we have here typical wbt$ spin.
take one scripture literally and 'appeal to authority' ie.
I though Messianic Law meant scrapping everything in the old testament? You know, dont eat a cows bollock on a Friday, dont eat cheese on a Tuesday, etc etc..........
My ex-teacher told me once Messianic law was enforced, everything else written before was pretty much null and void. They are cherry picking as per ususal.
Ive seen Angus with long hair. Dont go there, it aint preety!!

the nosy elder at the congregation i attend until i can get out very soon (just quickly: born in, was headed towards unbaptized pub but changed my mind about that and baptism) pulled me aside and showed me the scripture about coming across the body of water and asking "what prevents me from getting baptized" and i really want a quick, preferably smart-ass reply the next time he puts me on the spot like that.. .

fire away!
Im severely allergic to water. Everytime I accidentally get some on me, my lungs shut down, I break out in hives, and need an adrenaline shot.
Welcome to the forum!
