  Curious, if she hated white people so much, why did she move to where so many of them lived? Barbara, how did you manage to calm down after that tirade? I would've been a shaking mess for weeks after that.

  Delusional. As long as they keep themselves occupied with ridiculous things, they keep their minds away from serious questions.

  ok, so the time has finally come to register an account on this site.

  not that i think i have much to contribute to the discussions here, but more out of a desire to show that yet another person has learned ttatt.

  i am a fader, not discussing ttatt with anyone as i know the inevitable outcome it would have.

  Hellow and welcome. Love your point about creation and whoever or whatever is behind it leaving a book for only a select few...with that thought of intelligent design, the book itself is extremely archaic.

  How funny, Jehovah's Witnesses and Roman Catholics being cited together in the same paragraph as those who obstruct legal investigations.

  i attended the school late last year, and it was an emotional and mental rollercoaster for me.

  i was already divided in my heart to say the least.

  one of the instructors stayed in my home for the week, and my family genuinely enjoyed his company.

  I don't know why...but this is what has been happening in my ex-jw world...

  by misguided in

  2. beliefs

  so i took up volunterring for habitat for humanity in one of their restores about a year and a half/two years ago.

  now as far as i've known growing up in the religion, this is a faith-based organization that jehovah's witnesses are not to support.

  so i am wirded ou in some ways of what has happened during this time.. my first event was a previous elder from a congregation 3 hours away from where i live now, coming into the store.

  Rose, maybe many of them don't realize that the Habitat store is faith-based. I didn't until you just mentioned it. I like the Habitat stores, but the one near me is rather a disaster, unfortunately.
