frankie-You are a mind reader! As a little kid, I used to pray like that (without the arm removal & eye poking-out stuff) that Jehovah wouldn't kill me for some crazy infraction...so sad! Kids are really made to feel that they are worthy of death in the borg.

Caleb's Prayer To Jehovah After Trashing Sparlock To Keep Jehovah From Experiencing A Major Depression
by frankiespeakin inplease click the louis armstrong video and read.. dear jehovah i approach you in jesus name this is what i want to say:.
yesterday i tossed my farvorite toy "sparlock the warrior wizard" in the garbage can because my mommy who is one of your witnesses said it would make you sadly depressed.
i beg for your forgiveness in jesus name, if i had known before hand i would have never excepted this gift from johnny my worldly friend who mommy said was most likely going to be destroyed at armageddon because his parents are worldly and make you very sad because they are not jehovah's witnesses like my parents.. and after thinking the matter over i decided to burn sparlock just to make sure you forgive me, i'm so so sorry i made you sad please don't take my life at armageddon.

John the BAPTISER vs John the BAPTIST - which do you prefer?
by PaintedToeNail ini have always wondered why, as jw's, we would always say jt baptiser instead of jt baptist like everyone else.
it bugged me, so i refused to say it.
does anyone know why the wtbts uses the 'baptiser' moniker instead of the norm?.

We had the CO and Wife over for lunch. They were delightful. His last name was Adams. He was Jewish by birth, and his wife was an outspoken woman for a JW wife. After they left our circuit, we heard that he had a heart attack from the stress of being a CO. The doctors allegedly told him his 'job' was killing him, after they learned what it was he did. I don't know what happened to that couple, I hope they are happy wherever they are.

jam-Sorry about your friend, he sounds like an intelligent, caring and involved man. Sorry also that you feel you life was meaningless. You loved someone probably, that meant something to them. You aren't dead yet, there are still things you can accomplish to make a difference. What about going to a hospital and holding abandoned babies, born to addict mothers. Or a nursing home to read to those who can no longer read, or just listen to their fascinating stories, that will bring meaning to them. It is probably best not to compare yourself to other people, it can only bring one of you dissatisfaction.
I hope you get over being depressed. If you were nearby, I'd invite you for coffee and we could laugh about crazy things that happened in the borg.
