Rudderless, I sail through life,
Bumping into unfriendly shores,
Seeking a safe place to hide,
My compass is broken,
My direction unsure,
The horizon is before me,
Yet, I know not how to reach it.

A lunchtime spotting of JWs on their break from door-knocking...
by Jim_TX innot that big of a deal, but it is kind of humorous.... my wife and i went to a local mcdonald's for lunch.
yes, i know all the bad things that are in their foods... but it's difficult to find lunch places that are 'healthy' and low-cost.. anyway, she went and sat down, and i ordered the food.
as i came round the corner with the tray filled with burger, fries and the cups for our sodas, i spotted a group of four women sitting at one of the tables.. folks... i just want to make one thing very clear.

On the floral dress issue: Most of those dresses are like mumus, big, comfortable for all day wear, and they render one completely unsexy...it would have been plain wrong to look sexy out in the field ministry.

How about this one-Two sisters went on a singles cruise. One of the sisters fell for a man on the ship and proceeded to have sex with him. When the cruise was ending, this man brought the sister a present, a momento of their time together. Upon opening the small jewerly box, their was a little golden coffin, and a note which read 'You are dead, I just gave you AIDS'.

C.O.B.E-It is probably a relief to you to no longer have to hide in fear of what your wife will say should you slip up on something said. How wonderful that she is supporting you. I wish you much happiness.

outsmart-I am so sorry that your family life has deteriorated so badly. Your wife is truly behaving abominably. Your poor children are stuck in the middle. It is good that you recognize that your need to treat your depression, I hope it helps you to regain your zest for life.
Your emailing your lawyer with a copy of the custody brochure was an excellent pro-active move.

Absalom prefigured young JWs who fist bump, play video games, and take pictures of themselves with the opposite sex
by JimmyPage injehovah's witnesses top the list in not being able to hold on to their younger members.
so what do they do to combat this?
do they go out of their way to change things to keep the next generation, their only real hope of long run survival?

Isn't it wonderful to know that the whole essence of Absalom's being was simply to prefigure 21st century teenager? What spiritual enlightenment.
