my husband said he would be gone for the day.
the circuit overseer is at their cong and he trying to get brownie points.
i was just chilling watching tv with a cuppa, when i heard a car outside.
I would be shocked too!
Maybe he forgot his phone or something and needed to grab it?
Hopefully that is the end of it!

So I am learning for the first time that it is a new teaching that the heavenly 144,000 will share in execution.
I always thought that their role was to be priests, kings and judges. In other words. part of the judiciary branch of this heavenly government
(to use their own explanation)
so now, the anointed are executioners?
I am not doubting but I wonder if anyone has a link to where this got announced because I didnt know this!
I have come to think that ANY belief system carried to the extreme can have a negative effect on others.
Balance is a good thing.
Some things lend themselves more to being unbalanced than others.
Religion is one of those things.
just a few minutes till the start ..... we hope for a news from absalom and wifibandit very soon.. wifibandit, any tread on reddit for am?.
also there were some info about live stream.
any news about that..
I wonder if things are calm because they are tired?
Its just a bunch of old men who are not used to having to give much in the way of energy.
I think all the broadcasts and having to be having to be poster boys has proven to be tiring.
sad days for me.
i have been doing the above and came across various notes letters i had kept down the years.
there were some letters from my mother.. some i have kept others were from beginning to end all wt dogma.
Im glad there are some letters you were able to keep zeb.
I have noticed some of my "in" family members seem to want to talk ONLY about things to do with religion now that I am out.
I think they think it is a way of witnessing lecturing
what's the greatest advantage in becoming a roman catholic after leaving the jehovah's witnesses some 17 years ago?
why, it's the way it totally irritates people and really pushes their buttons...that is, if you are one of the unfortunate jehovah's witnesses who happens across my door during field service.
i have developed several techniques to make it very frustrating to the unwary witness who hopes to make headway at my house.
Hernandez I took your post in the spirit in which you meant it and loved it!
I think the concept of not taking ourselves too seriously is a great one.
i find it hard to believe that the flamboyant grooming, earrings and heels would grant him positive status in the congregation.
it definitely wouldn't fly in my old cong in arizona.
he would been pulled in the b room rather fast.
There was also an announcement expressing sorrow over his death released by headquarters in New York wasnt there?
when you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.
for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.
i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.
I went to a biker bar with a disfellowhipped frend and her Harley riding brother and played pool.
Such nice people and an easy going group.
Most fun I'd had in forever.
