i'm shocked by how many people i know who live in larger towns that do not lock their doors or windows.....do you?
Wow Susan.......I work with cops all the time, when they stop by my house they are forever telling me to lock up...you need better security etc. I guess when you work and see the dark side of humanity, you don't trust anyone.
For the question...I always lock up at night, but not during the day. Probably not bright. I never lock my car unless I have something in it. My husband locks his all the time, and his car is the one they broke into.

hello all, just wanted to fill you in on the situation with my mother.. she's doing good now after having the emergency surgery last week.
we're hoping that she can come home in a couple days.
her blood counts are still low but they have risen since the surgery.
Glad to hear that your mom is doing better. Just make sure she gets the sleep, and care that she needs to gain her strength back. Loosing alot of blood makes you extremely tired. Keep us posted on how you both are holding up.

hello folks, mr. flipper the pot stirrer here again.
no, not really, i was easy on the old guy.
at our post office in our home town there every day is an approximately 65 to 70 year old witness man who stands next to the post office entry door with the magazines wt & awake.
The average rank and file has no idea about the "truth" about the "lie." Keep them ignorant is the motto of the JW religion. Leslie

but am partial to celestial seasonings tension tamer or ginger.. what's yours?.
I drink tea everyday..multiple times, but I like old fashioned hot tea. Prefer Red Rose.

i'm brand spanking new to this forum.... my story is a long one that i will save for rainy day....however i will say i have been out for a long time 10+ years and when i left i really left.
i walked away at 20 (in my heart i was mentally gone at 17) and never really looked back much.
i was raised jw my father was an elder my mother an off and on pioneer (my father is no longer except he goes to the memorials, poor bastard and again thats another long story) i was not shunned by my parents both of whom were still very much in although my father left shortly after me and i would like to think that my bravery and courage allowed him to do the same.
Welcome Miss Bliss...it is always a shock when you learn the "truth" about the "lie."
Leslie

i am back .
i hope all is well.
We left the light on for you..,,,,glad you found your way back, we have missed you around here.

here is the best that i could do, but i think it gets the main points of the articles across.
i wouldn't bet my life on this translation, but i think it is good enough for our purposes.
question box.
Well after all they are a publishing company, where would they be if you didn't feel that you had to use their publications for the answers.
Leslie
since i am new here..
i was wondering, is everyone here a df, dis-associated, fallen away?
or are there also "real" witnesses here?
DA...had I realized that I no longer had to play their game, I would have faded.

i live in the southern united states.
i'm not too fond of the state i'm in but i'm within close driving distance of some very cool places.
the people in the south are awesome, very hospitable.
I live in the Northeast in New York State. It is beautiful, but the winters are tough. Good place to raise kids, but can always go to the city or large urban area if I want to do something. So all in all it is fine.

my first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.
(actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").
why do animals die?.
The JW answer is:
Animals die because they do not have the capacity to worship. Only humans were made in God's image, with the ability to reason, gain knowledge, and worship him.
I think that like Madtiger says....We all die, because it is natural to all animal and human species.
