i was in the mood today... got the tree cheap (came w/lights), decorations and ribbon for half price and made the bow myself to save money.
i was going to put it aside until after thanksgiving, but couldn't resist completing the project.
i just have to get some fiber fill for "snow" at the base.
Why, yes my boyfriend and I bought our first tree. Normally (being the last 3 years )we would celebrate x-mas at his parents house. But his mother passed away this summer. So we are making our own festivities. This is the first time I've EVER decorated my house for x-mas. I don't feel bad, actually. So maybe I have made some progress...
...by the way your tree looks nice Juni :)
the point was made at the assembly today, that we have to 'prove' our love for jehovah to him.
as i sat there, bored, this thought struck me as odd.
since jehovah is supposed to be able to read 'hearts', why do we as humans, have to prove anything to him, since he already knows us down to our kidneys and would know if we loved him or not.
Jealousy...proving one's 'love' constantly...that relationship was too complicated for me.
hi, folks,.
for many years my immediate family and i have been messing with stinging insects of all kinds.
in fall (when they are most active), our phones about ring off the hook.
Wow. These pictures are amazing! I suppose I never thought of that concept...harvesting bees (venom) for pharmaceutical companies. I would have just imagined them cultivating everything in monitored labs. But, looks like you've got it down.
hi, just wanted to introduce myself.
born-in, as was my husband.
we were both baptized as teens, married when we were teens (he was early 20s) and we were both the "perfect" witnesses.
Welcome to board! You made the best choice for you and your child.
As everyone has already said, freedom is priceless.
early in the exit process, it's very important to begin overcoming irrational fears.
fear of the devil.
fear of god.
Freeminds is a great site. Thank you for posting this leavingwt.
this website is odd.
it seems to be the witnesses, but maybe not?
honestly i don't know what to make of it.
Maybe it's...shechaiyah's site...
it's nice to have you here !
i found that this board was very supportive when i first got on it over 4 years ago .
i still find it supportive !
Thanks Mr. Flipper.
you can find it at theocraticgames.com http://www.theocraticgames.com/.
it sounds totally bizarre.. it even has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/house-2-house-theocratic-board-game/120807941289256.

Lame. It says ages 13+ to play the game. But it's certainly acceptable to use a 2 year old to make googly eyes at a stranger to place a magazine.
it's nice to have you here !

Personally, this board has definitely been a source of support. Because many of my close friends were never JW's...and some are faders but too scared to really share how they feel (from fear of being labeled an apostate.)
That being it said, it's nice to be around empathetic and educated people. Most of you are insightful, smart and have a great sense of humor...which is the best mix . I am fairly new and at times stop visiting, because I feel disgusted thinking about my former life as a JW. But, it is unavoidable as my family is still deeply involved.
I would, however, like to make some real (close) friends here eventually. But I find it hard because I'm still new and somewhat shy. Perhaps I need to throw a huge apostafest. hah.
Either way, this board is a great resource even if it is not approved by Jehovee himself.
