  I am myself again - not some picture perfect person who will never and can never live up to unrealisitic expectations that are set by the BORG.
  I have found my life and I am ejoying it - with out having to balckmail others into a family style realtionship.
  I HATE the conditional Love that the BORG demands of all. They like you only IF you are doing what THEY say - with out questioning!

  I am much better - havea better relationship with all including my God.I am also an active member of my Lutheran Church too - and I do this because I want to - not because I was told I had to do this. I am me because of the Grace that God has Lovingly given...

  Just my thoughts...

  Which came first, man or woman?

  if men were created in the image of god , and women created for men , then why do all foetuses start off female?.

  according to the bible eve was created out of adam.. well i can't speak for adam but the basic body structure of a human it seams starts off as female , men branching off at a certain point of developement due to man making hormones.it doen't get rid of our nipples though.. if men came first or are in some way superior in gods eyes then why the need to develope as a female first , shouldn't it be the other way round?.

  so shouldn't have god made eve first?

  I find the Books very interseting, especially as i have just finished teaching a Sunday School class on the book of revelation...I find that they have taken a bit of literary lisence in some places - but They are easy to read and enjoyable!

  Valkyrie,
  I too love Jane Austen and I also enjoy the works on Russian History - especially the ones dealing with the Russian Revolution and Csar Nicholas and Alexandra.

  Thanks for all the posts!!

  2. friends

  just wondering here as i had recieved a very cold letter (via e-mail) from a "loving dub" telling me i was a very bad person.

  it just seems funny to me that i recieved it after the date of the talk ( this person knew full well i had d'ad myself 2 years ago - and had no problem until now) and was wondering what sort of "new darkness' they were spreading on the fields of the dubs .

  ok. just read the thread on the "special talk" today and how they mentioned apostates.. well, that explains why i had such a painful conversation today with my sister-in-law.

  she called to let me know that she and her mother had reached a painful decision today....to abide by the shunning rule.

  up until today, we had a great relationship....everything was fine.

  Hummmmmm.................
  that might make this unexpected letter make a bit more sense..

  since I have just today learned that you have disasociated yourself from the kingdom hall and Jehovah, I will not be returning any more e-mails or speaking to you again. You know that as a baptized Witness. I can no longer have any relationship with you at all. I can only speak to you if there would be some medical emergency or as such, as you already know. The most heart wrenching thing is that once aain I lose nieces and a nephew over this. At least, let the kids know that I love them and always shall ! And, I shall miss what shoud have been and could have been. However, YOU have made this choice for yourself, your children, my self and my family and for Jehovah....Respect what you know I must do to follow the Bible...Leave us alone now. I shall be deleting you adresses and phone numbers from my computer and phone books. And somehow, I must leave you to be whoever it is you have decided you need to be.

  I wondered why,
  after I was upfront with this person..
  and I had recieved an invite to her son's wedding ( I didn't attend) and recived a nasty e-mail about not showing,
  I recieved this..now its all making sense....

  Long live the apostates!!!
