an aussie friend of mine once summed life up in this phrase:.
we are all food for worms.. .
so, now outside the wt mindset, what is your view on life purpose?.
I guess its only polite to share my view, and it has taken a while to get to it:
I think, in essence, that my friend is right. In the meantime, we should play our roll in advancing the evolution of humanity,
be it socially or intellectually. We owe a special debt to our children, who, after all, didnt ask to be born.
We owe it to them to pass on our experiencein life and our help when things are difficult for them.
In brief, to be there for others.

hi guys.. im moving to chester in 4 days and its out of the jurisdiction of my congregation so... woop woop!
the jws are going to be invited in often.. however, the territory im moving to should have been the northgate congregation however my cousin told me it was disbanded a while ago.
apparntly it has been split up and meshed with blacon.
I live in another country but all the jws in the area know who I am. The "family still in" tell the congregation secretary. He tells the bethel. bethel contacts the bethel in the new country. That bethel contacts the new congregation. and........ the new congregation sends an elder to see you, normally around the memorial time.
So, one came to our door. Unfortunately for him, Mrs P, I swear she has some Klingon blood in her, answered.
" Some of your husbands friends from his old country asked us to pass by" he said.
He never did get alot further, good old Mrs P LOL.
So the moral is: they will know where you are, and it will be noted on the new territory file.
Then of course, if your family don't know where you're moving to, well what can I say.... " enjoy yourself"
i have basically thrown away all of my bound volumes and loose wt and awake magazines.
i kept some bpoks, the insight to the scriptures, god's love, the reasoning book, and daniel's prophecies (this was my favorite) .
i held onto insight to the scriptures after reading some of ray franz's book, crisis of conscience.
I did photocopy the entire elders book, before I gave it back. It took me a long time.
Nowadays its so easy to get a copy on the internet.
a friend of mine just got given a recording of the last ca which was held here a couple of weeks ago and she said there's been a change to the 144k teaching.
she didn't understand what the hell they were rabbiting on about.
she's really waking up as a result of all these changes, and so are some others she knows.. anyone know of any change to the 144k doctrine?
I asked my mother how many partook of the emblems this year. "there must only be a few hundred left" I added.
I did not get an answer. Perhaps she didnt hear me?
my stepson has just finished his national exams in his mother tongue.. talking about how it went, i suddenely had a flashback.. did you, like me, used to right about the "new system" paradise, or other jw stuff, given any opportunity, ( usually in english essays ) ?.
............... and did you count the time?.
I had not anticipated the different examination systems that exist.
America basically tests at the state level
I suppose that in America, a state is the equivalent of a country in Europe. In Europe, the exams differ widely between members of the EU.
An equivalent in England would be the 'A' levels ( if indeed they are still called that way).
At any rate, the point I wish to make has nothing to do with the exams themselves, but rather if we were " encouraged" to "witness" at any given
oportunity at school, and that even during written exams if the chance arose.

cantleave: LOL
when you were a believer did you give large donations to the society?
if so how much did you give?
i know an elder who's a chiropractor and he generously gives $400-800 a month to the society.
I didnt think that I gave much at all, and then I became accounts servant, and realised that I contributed 10% of the total contributions.
(congregation of around 100 publishers)
It must have been a really tight congregation. Second thoughts, they probably got their values right.

well i have been up and down this year with this current company i work for.
from the time they employed me they have paid me late, without explanation.
i have been miserable coming in here.
I am genuinely happy for you,LouBelle, and hope you are now going to turn the corner. Good luck.
