My mother was the biggest hypochondriac on the planet! The negitive thoughts are one of the biggest causes of bad health.Try hoping and praying the world is going to end everyday and have a positive feeling about life.

my mom is always complaining of something or another every week.
she is not that old and is in fairly good health.
she eats good and gets moderate exercise but she always has something wrong with her.. do you think that dubs get sicker than normal people cause of stress or maybe their body just overwhelmed with all the requirements finally says ok...if it takes you being sick to rest then you'll be sick?.

well, i put up a valiant struggle, but katie finally dragged me onto the plane on our way to las vegas for our wedding.. .
we got to our hotel (the flamingo), and as we walked into our room we saw the message light flashing on the phone.
" it was room service, said they had something for us, would we be in the room for the next hour?
That is great!!!
You didn't even tell me you were sweet on someone.
Would love to meet her.
P.S Our next "Spirit in the movies" meeting is on Jan. 20 2003, At my home at 7:30 p.m. Would love to see you both. We will be talking about the movie "Out on a limb"
give me a call

i put a question mark on this cuz i don't know where to turn.
i have confirmed and she has admitted to three affairs in our eight years of marriage.
i don't know if i could ever trust her again.
Hay, why would a Catholic Chaplain in the army marry a JW in the first place?
You need to look at into yourself -------------to see what was there about YOU, that drew this to yourself!
You a Catholic making fun of JWS---------Thats the pot calling the kettle BLACK.
well last week i got my first real shun.
most the time it would be people i know, they would just look away or pretend i wasn't there, you know not really a person anymore.
last week it happen, this time with someone who was one of my best friends.
Hay
I sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I wasn't upset, I was getting ready to wave to the Guy. I think Its funny, I forgot all about it until I saw him.
I guess I was more surprised then anything.
I know one thing, there is alot of people out there who have terrible things happen to them by the "dubs" How about the guy In Mcminville Or. who killed his hole family then took his own life.
What happen to me wasn't shit.

I got of my car and was walking to a restaurant. He pulled up and got out of his car, started walking to the same restaurant. He looked at me, are eyes locked. He turned around got back in his car and drove away.---------He wouldn't eat at the same restaurant as me!
I know many of you have much better storys of abuse then that.--------------Could you please share your storys.
that's right, i'm yelling.
i realized something about this board.
it thrives on something big happening, something controversial.
Well how about this one,
Whats the deal with a guy who has posted almost 2000 times, and still no BIO?-----I could see no name, because of fear-----------but no BIO no balls.
if you've left or are considering leaving the "truth", what is the most difficult thing that you must deal with?
is it losing family or friends?
is it feeling isolated?
52 Years to have been a watchtower slave.
But it wasn't the time wasted so much, as the realazation that if I was that adamant about what I believed then, even self righteous.-------- what other thought systems am I in trench in?------- NOW!
They did most of all my thinking then. Now I'm forced to think about things, make up my own mind, and that takes alot of work. We all want freedom--------who can go back to slavery?

think about it when you chose to become a jw why did you choose that belief.. was it because you witnessed there good works or there following the scriptures closely or even there so called similarity to 1st century christians.. when i think about it, i didnt really witness these things it was the books i studied which told me this because if i had really looked closely at the activities and jw roots i would of realised they werent the pure religion they claimed to be.now i think about it why didnt i take my study more serious not just reading what the jws gave me but looking to outside sources for more information, im really gutted i didnt do this now.
i mean did i look at other beliefs to see how they functioned nope i just believed the books i studied and that was it and i thought i wasnt gullible.. so now in the situation most of us are in today if you were to look at most religious christian beliefs today which would you say follows the bible closely and imitates the 1st century christians the closest,sticks to gods and christ teachings closely.
also have any of you thought about joining another faith and which one?
Who cares?
Hypocrisy= A pretending to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not; esp, a pretense of virtue ect.
So you could be in the baby killer religion, and do everything they say, not have any bad feelings about it {not say one thing and do another} thus not be a hypocrite. and be a good faith? Because they are not a hypocrite right?
Hypocrisy is not the issue.
Does a thought form have love, compassion kindness?
even though we were all raised with the firm doctrine that absolutely nothing happens to you after death, (except for those baptized before 1935 of course), does anyone here think that maybe something does happen after we die?
i've seen some programs about people that have reported having near death experiences.
while this doesn't offer proof, i find it very strange that one individual, during her nde, repeated a conversation she heard on an entirely different floor in the hospital while she was clinically dead.
The WB&ts took the fire out of hell------which is right!
They took the life out of the soul---------they are wrong!
Look into your heart and you know that we go on.---------there is no DEATH!
if you were a governing body member (or one of the power brokers at bethel) what would worry you the most?
i was thinking about this last night.
do you worry about the lawsuits connected with the pedophile cover-up?
They have alot of worries
The biggest one is time, You can cry wolf only so long.
This organization was never designed to last hundreds of years.
Its the young people they are losing,
The kids today are way to smart to buy into the same old BULL SHIT we did. At the last CA I went to, there was 2 kids to take the oath.
With no new recuits, this thing will last another 20-30 years at the most.
Kids listening to their parents and their grandparents telling them that they were never going to get out of school before the world will end.--------------will get it.
