by AiAi in

jw
friends

this is an exact copy of my letter to the watchtower.

it never recieved a reply (i did not include 'attn writing committee' in the address however).

please keep in mind that when i wrote this i had just started my intensive research into their beliefs/history, and despite my agressive tone i really did expect a satisfactory answer.

American Rantings About World Cup Soccer (Football)

i try ... i really try to watch football (soccer) ... it's world cup time ... i really do try.. i just don't get it ... i really don't.. yes, it's a world-wide sport.

in most countries it is the number 1 or number 2 sport ... no doubt about it.

it's maybe number 5 in the usa for professional sports.. from an american's perspective (i think i speak for many), we just wonder if these guys actually have testicles.

Watching baseball at the stadium is fun! Nothing quite like eating cold hotdogs with warm beer.

Has anyone ever saved another persons life?

by LogCon in

i don't mean you advised them and they changed their lives around, kind of saving a life.. i mean right before your eyes, right now, you had to do something to save a person or they would be dead.. how did it make you feel?

did it have any affect on you?.

forty years ago i was working on a construction site and a back-hoe had loosened a large boulder.

A young Chinese kid was drowning in a pool at a resort in Florida. He was weakly yelling for help, in Chinese, which nobody understood. A sunbathing woman came up to me and asked 'Do you think that kid is drowning?' Up until that moment I was as oblivious as everyone else. Being a very good swimmer I jumped in and grabbed him and with the help of the sunbathing woman, dragged him out of the water. Poor kid just lay on the pool deck gasping for air.

Dale, I am glad you both found a voice in your marriage and beliefs, and that you were happy together. Being a JW was hard on all of us. So sorry to learn of your Parkinsons diagnosis. So difficult. I am wishing you the very best.

How do you shut your mind down so you can get a good night sleep???

Ambien. Super effective. I take it every night and have for several years. You must go to bed immediately after taking it or you may end up sleep eating, texting, having sex or whatever. Some people don't tolerate it well, but millions do. I wake up refreshed every morning. Without it my brain wakes me repeatedly or won't turn off.

My friends have made a stand on shunning.

Great news quelly and blondie, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, work and RESPECT everyone or be fired, it may change the individual shunners attitude. We all know the WTBTS isn't going to help them find a new job or make their house payment when it comes due.
