as you may have gathered, we've just returned from our vacation / visiting my dad in canada.
we all had a great time as we always do (i'll post some pics later).. it was very nice of 'concerned mama' to invite us over for dinner and for her and her daughter to show us the wonders of the west edmonton mall (where we went on a submarine ride!).
thank you so much for taking the time out for us and for your very generous hospitality - we hope we can repay the favour sometime!.
Sometimes it's depressing that Canada is SO big. I'm in Atlantic Canada and would've loved to have seen you.
I am glad you got a chance to visit with Shunned Father. Does he know where his daughter is yet?
Sorry you both came home to such an ugly mess, but
WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lotsa luv to Simon and Ang,
Mimilly
i thought it would be a nice break from things to have a little fun and at the same time fine tune our jw repellant skills.
so it is time for another round of un-theocratic ministry school.
for this presentation my fine ex-jw friends, we will play door to door games with dubs.
So what happens to those who are disfellowshipped? Jesus never did that. He talked to everyone regardless of what mistakes they'd made. Humans are imperfect and will make mistakes. Who are the Jehovahs to judge? Judgin' is only for God to do. This don't sound right to me. I mean, look at the example of the good samaritan. That in itself shows that God recognizes someone's heart and actions - not just belongin' to a certain group. That samaritan never said Jehovah.
There are other churches mister who use the name Jehovah and they read their bibles and they have plenty of joy. Maybe you can't see this cos you're on the inside.
You have a family don't ya? What happens if one of em gets disfellowshipped?
.........
.......hearing people belly ache about how "we can no longer swear" or "say whatever we want"!!!.
if you cannot make a sensible comment without swearing...then you are a moron!!.
if you cannot get your point across without being rude and abusive to one another then you are a moron!!
LL - check out my thread called 'Remember..' It's on page two now.
hugs, Mimilly

Certainly not tap water - not around here! geesh! (hands you an ice cold bottle of water)
Tell me about this disfello ... whatever it was you said. And yes, I am familiar with Jesus' life and sayings.
And you said 'truth'. How can you be certain that God only speaks to Jehovahs? I mean truly, how can you be 'certain' ?

Sir, you duck and dance like a great boxer. I asked you a question. Do Jehovahs believe that they are the only ones who will be saved or who god talks to? There are people all over the earth doing things to make a difference, and it has nothing to do with magazines.
Please step in out of this ungodly heat. It's giving me a terrible headache. It's just horrible the way you have to go out in those suits in this weather. I've got ice water in the fridge, and you've already got a terrible sunburn. Is THIS what God tells you to do?
..... ushers you inside.

hummm ... perhaps they need to "clone" this, al la jurassic park.
christmas dinner will be quite interesting.. xandria
Come to think of it though - that bird would make a great feast for an Apostafest! HUGE bonfire at the beach - get a huge tractor and just dump the bird on the bonfire. No feathers to pluck that way

Ah, Sir, you sound a little bit delusional. Why has such a god waited for so bloody long to DO something? Millions have died, and you yourself say that the world is going downhill.
Oh,,,wait a minute... I remember something a friend told me a long time ago - that Jehovahs believe that they are the only ones who god would save. Is this true?
As for the tools, I think God would've given us the 'tools' if he thought we needed them. All his words are right there in the Bible. All those magazines cost money to make and just kill trees. Why aren't you giving out bibles?

Yeh, right.... Jehovah's Witnesses. I've heard of you people. I thought you people preached the bible or something..... why are you pushing magazines? And really, a Paradise earth? Look at it all! No one can get along! The enviornment is collapsing! How is a paradise going to come about with this? There are too many people to reason with and too many who want the wars.
............
well well....how wonderful it is to see people taking potshots at one another, to see a group of people who could be supporting and helping one another instead turn to infighting and slagging.
i'm disgusted by it all, i really am.
in the last year or so that i've been online, i thought that i had made some real friends, i thought that it was possible to really get to know people thru this modern miracle of technology.
Hey sweet Dana,
The past two (or so) days that this has been going on, has drained me, and also triggered me. It reminded me of when my parents were fighting - one would be in the livingroom with the tv and the other would be in the rec room with the stereo. If one turned up the volume, the other would turn up the volume etc. etc. etc. until things were blaring in the house. Now, I had school in the morning and this often happened at night. Things would escalate until my parents were yelling at each other (over the volume of the tv and stereo) and then objects would start being thrown. I thought my head would surely bust.
I was so dismayed that Simon and Angahard had to arrive home to THIS - happening in their cyber home. I was disgusted that common sense was an abstract thing to some - they needed exact rules, which is censorship, which they didn't want. Circular arguments. I spent a couple times trying to reason with some. Check my thread 'Remember...'. It didn't get many responses but I hope it slapped a few people upside the head - figuratively speaking.
No one will ever make me leave this place. I'm in a bad space today because of the fighting (but I could've left - I just didn't want people to get hurt so I stuck around). Just like I did as a kid. I made sure mom wasn't killed. This place is home to me. It's done so much good and the majority of people here are fantastic spirits. Dana - please don't let anyone push you away. It gives them too much power and they are already experiencing delusions of adequacy.
Give my thread a look-see cos I bring up all the good stuff. Things have settled down now.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Dana)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) This place needs people like you.
