tonight the talk was given and he speaker talks about the two hopes, i roll my eyes.
then he talks about how the evening meal is onky for the elite 144,000. i think to myself "why the hell does paul say in 1 corinthians 11 when hes referring tothe entire corinthians congregation (right?
) that they should do it in remembernce of christ?
"Is this Christs memorial or a dick measuring contest?"
Didn't you do the Watchtower lesson for this past Sunday?
There is an entire section devoted to Christ "strapping on his sword."
I have a feeling the answer to your question is: Either way, Christ wins.
hey folks.
just need to check in.
due to an injury, i had to start taking some pretty powerful pain killers and stayed on them for about 1 1/2 months until i finally had surgery this past wednesday.
I was on dilaudid after shoulder surgery, and it really was the best painkiller - least side effects and most effective in blocking pain. However, I took a much smaller dose for a much shorter period of time than you, and so had no trouble getting off.
I do however have quite extensive experience tapering off other medications and experienced much of what you are right now: clearly irrational emotional swings/thoughts, all the time knowing this wasn't the "real me" talking.
I can't say it gave me true comfort, but thinking about it rationally, realizing that the anxieties/emotions I was facing were not the result of any real threat/fear/situation was somewhat helpful.
From previous experiences tapering off meds, I also knew it wouldn't last forever: I just made myself as comfortable as possible and waited it out.
Watching mindless TV (food network worked well for me) also was a big help. I'm not a big tv watcher for the fact that you're "zoned out" while watching, but it works great when going through this kind of crap.
I know what you're going through sucks, but you'll get through it.
You might even try tapering more slowly - like ridiculously slowly. I became quite an expert in cutting pills myself.
when bethel serves pancakes, do they give you a choice?
is it only 1 choice.
it sure would be a deal breaker for me if i didn't get to choose between bacon, or sausages.
Taylor ham, well done.
Just gave away where I live!
1. they done me wrong.
2. i'm depressed.
3. i'm gonna act like an apostate (smoke, drink, drugs, sex, outrageous behavior).
I'm at TERRY's #4: Big search, big decisions. The search isn't about truth or god but How do I know what I know? and I'm enjoying my time now as a full-time student figuring at least a small part of the puzzle out. Big decision was to leave work to go to school FT, but no regrets there.
I also do quite a bit of #6, but mostly for my wife's benefit. Actually, with the new FDS teaching, kicking Russell to the curb and the ever-expanding definition of "this generation" my wife does plenty of #6 on her own.
My Jello hasn't "set" yet.
Thus, the "dent" in my mold is of no consequence.
as written in the july 15 2014 wt.
what gerrit used to believe and teach.... the roman catholic teaching of apostolic succession claims that there is an unbroken succession of popes in a line extending all the way back to the apostle peter.
(the church misinterprets jesus words that are quoted at matthew 16:18, 19.
OUTLAW - that is great! I think Rogers Waters would be proud. . . .
when jws come around with their articles asking "is god cruel?
", i often point them to genesis 22:2:.
2 then god said, take your son, your only son, whom you loveisaacand go to the region of moriah.
Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What ?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done ?"
God says "Out on Highway 61"
so the latest clip on jw.org for kids is so wrong!.
it is about the "victory song".
lets all sing songs about how vengeful and destructive "our loving god" can be...along with cartoonish pictures...... all rejoice at the death of the evil people who used their "god-given free will", then got punished for doing so!.
Nah. . . . They're not fundamentalists.
where is salisbury township?
who will own this residential village for elderly jw's?
spending $6.5 million to build it, housing up to 38 individuals.
$2900/month is a lot of windows. . . .
because they don't know what to do and they want to numb the pain .
especially for bornins..
I know I started drinking A LOT more after I had been an elder for a couple of years, and right through my personal crisis that led me to "step down" and eventually to TTATT.
