i bet there's a lot of jws in "good standiing" that frequent this place.. what do you think?
?.
Actually, since my last post on this thread, I think I may have rumbled a fader. I've sent them a PM. I really hope it is who I suspect as I had quite a bit of respect for this person when I was 'in' as he was/is genuinely nice (as opposed to the nicey-nicey, fake-ass JWs who couldn't really give a monkey's).
*Crosses fingers and waits for a PM*....

startfragment.
so many of my non-witness relatives were, and are, good people.
i had to do something to deal with the likelihood of their being destroyed.. those i was close to in the faith, and i, had the hope that, sometime before the end, some issue would arise that would wake up our relatives and other loved ones to the realization that they had to come into the fold.
I used to pray for my relatives and others to come to know "The Truth™" because I was conditioned to do so as a born-in. I never really thought that they would be destroyed as at the back of my mind I never really believed that Armageddon would happen despite the fact that I get nightmares about it.
an inspirational quote or saying you would like to share?
i have a little book that i write stuff down in,, some funny, some serious .... .
here's one i stole from a friend's f/b feed..... .
For my birthday a couple of years ago, knowing that I'd been battling with anxiety and depression, a very good friend gave me a little book called "50 Things to Always Remember...and One Thing to Never Forget" by Douglas Pagels. The blurb on the back says, " Words to Live By and Wishes to Share With Someone Very Important". The following quote is my favourite.
"Nothing wastes more energy than worrying. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. Make your tomorrows everything you want them to be. If there is a change to be made, set the stage for tomorrow to bring it. When you're not sure what to do, trust your intuition and just wing it."
I feel sorry for Mitch Winehouse and the rest of her family - a parent should not have to outlive their child, especially when in circustances where the death could well have been prevented. Truly tragic.
didn't know if this has been addressed before , but it's kinda interesting.
when we were witnesses we were always told,oh!
don't look at horoscopes or read anything about your sign because it's demonized !
I am a Libra, my wife mrs. Flipper is an Aries ! All comments welcome.
Ah, you guys are polar oppsites in the zodiac. In a marriage, this combination is usually complementary and works well - opposites attract.
I am an Aries. A few years ago I had my birth chart drawn up at The Astrology Shop in Covent Garden, London, as a gift from a friend. It was surprisingly detailed and accurate (free from the generalisations of a daily horoscope for a sign as a whole). There were a couple of details mentioned about a couple of events that occured in my life with the timescale specified also, that neither my friend nor the astrologer could possibly have known about.
watchtower and the woodshed .
today i uploaded to my blog an illustration from 1957 that had a serious impact on children at the time.
i remember those days.
It continued to have an impact over 20 years later.
Arrghh, I haz Basement cat!....Or perhaps one of its' evil kitteh minions. Either way, it's a psychopathic, black kitteh.
LOLZ
its been 2 years.
she was lying in intensive care (i didnt know she only had a few days left)...... building up to the bloody convention in cardiff millenium stadium.
yap yap yap we can take you yap yap, you need to be there yap yap, oh my head was all over the place.
Awww Paula honey,
I feel awful for you. I wish I'd seen this earlier before I went out for the afternoon, I'd have driven straight over to give you that much needed hug.
We missed the last few days with my grandpa because we were at the convention and we stayed behind an extra day to clean the Arms Park when he died.
Sizemik's words were especially touching and helpful. Your Mum passed knowing that you love her. She sounds like she was one hell of a girl - a real character. Is there anything you'd like to do, eat/drink, or anywhere you might like to go that you can do in her honour?
Will send you a PM...
Lots of love & ((hugs)) xxx
