freemindfades mention of 2 wake ups is interesting.
What if its a gradual awakening?
When you wake up from sleeping at night - when are you awake?
Is it when you are conscious of rolling over and your alarm wont go off for another 5 minutes?
Is it when you throw back the covers and sit or stand?
Is it after you take a shower? Have coffee?
My point is that I think it can sometimes be a gradual thing and something that comes at you from several angles.
was merrily walking down my local high street this morning when a lady approached me and than told me not to worry i'm not a jw, i said dont worry i used to be one and she was astounded and we went into a full blown doctrinal biblical discussion , she was representing her local baptist church, i really shot her away with my knowledge and she agreed she's never met someone like me before , she said that i would still need to repent and and accept jc as my personal saviour etc blah blah and that the devil was pleased that i'd accepted a path of atheism , i said you think the devil is directing people to atheism, i said you dont think the devil would be wanting people to be joining devil worshipping groups, occult groups, wiccan/pagan and witch covern groups?
i asked her to direct me to see a physical image of the devil and demons and to direct to to where they reside etc, i asked don't you think demons can manifest themselves in the form of humans?
she agreed, i then said where are they?
Pretty funny that she used "I am not a JW" as her disclaimer!
it is my birthday today.
given that i turn 60 today means that i graduated high school in 1975. time flies when you are having fun.. i remember the council i got about not worrying about a career because this wicked system was rapidly coming to a conclusion.
now i am 60 and most of those bastards are dead and the end is still in the future..
A very Happy Birthday to you!!!!
what is the rarest jb book ever printed?
i just bought a copy of the finished mystery and it can be a bit rare.
but i bet there are others much more rare.
Wasnt "Commentary On James" yanked because of who wrote it?
I would gather that would make it somewhat hard to find although not as much so as some of the ones previously mentioned here.
Really good Stuck.
I especially relate to 5 and it lead to 7. Some of the first choices dont really seem to fit me. What happened is not because I failed to pray. The religion failed to pass muster.
i remember reading here about a woman who wrote a religious column for a newspaper.
i would like to find that thread again but apparently my research skills here are not so good.
could anyone help me find that link?
Thank you so much fokyc for those two links. I am reading that first one now.

last week we had a reassurance ultrasound with our ob.
she was just supposed to check heartbeats on the two little ones and they were going strong!
but because she had extra time and she can be quite anal about her work (which is a good thing) she decided to take some measurements.
So very sad to hear this and you are both in my thoughts,.
lol ...if you are new here, you might not understand the question..
Yes to missing the red dot!
my therapist inspired me to start looking on the bright side.
even though i've pretty much given up listening to the bs and usually tune out the meeting by playing on my phone/tablet, i find the local needs talk oddly fascinating.
probably because it's the only part that doesn't seem outlined to death (at least at our hall), and you truly don't know what you get.
Someone should sit on the front row wearing their hat and exercise clothes. That would be funny! Thanks for the great review Sorry,,,,very fun to read.
