time to take a break from debating religion.
take in a breath of fresh air and be healed by the wonders of nature around you.. how many of you have a garden?
how many have a nice flower patch to go with your vegetable garden?
our garden has quite a lot of butterflies and birds. I saw a bullfinch this morning. We had a fox come by the in the day the dog was asleep and didn't notice it. slow worms and frogs and toads. we have blackberry apples plum gooseberry grapes and cherries. I made some wine one year from the blackberries and another year from the grapes. It was drinkable.
I lost interest in the garden and it is now more natural.
my son asked me 40 years ago.
should we be glad adam sinned?
because if he hadn't, we would not be the person we are.. any opinions?

depends on what i sould have been
i applaud anyone, male or female, who overcomes shallowness and looks at a person’s deeper qualities, especially in regard dating and marriage.
the movie and fashion industry does much to institute shallowness to the point that, in my opinion, it promotes outright discrimination and judgmentalism even as they give lip service to tolerance..
on the other hand, among jehovah’s witnesses, there seem to be a preponderance of incompatible marriages.
This has been reinforced by the words of Anthony Morris III at the US Branch visit: women should not marry a man who is not at least a ministerial servant. It was implied the marriage is doomed otherwise.
where can i find this so i can show it to a JW?
you will remember the frequent exhortations to "maintain loyalty" to jehovah..a thinly disguised instruction to never question the wts.

This organization has never disappointed us and always gives us an abundance of pure waters of truth from God’s Word"

then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!

but it could happen..
had an interesting conversation with my wife recently.
she struggles with physical, emotional and psychological problems which have often caused her to miss meetings.
she mentioned how she is equally tortured by guilt if she misses meetings and ministry, and severe stress if she does them.
Don't answer their questions - they're being judgemental tossers.
Landy is that how you judged my post?

take good care of her
She still fully believes and is super fragile.
my suggestion was probably not a good idea

How can you feel guilty about something which has misled you? Still love the bros and sis on the ground but the higher ups
Maybe you should tell the bros and sis how you feel about the higher ups. Carefully.
