pale - i went through the same thing. I signed my card last time I got my license renewed.
It was the time I totally realized I would die and that's it.
I was depressed.
this thread is quite morbid so i apologize in advance.. a few days ago i was having a conversation with my girlfriend in which she mentioned in passing that she's signed up to donate her organs after her death.
i was quite surprised because she mentioned it like it was no big deal.
i asked her which organs.

note the picture on the top right hand side.
the little boy in green is standing between the man's legs (jesus), face forward.
the picture is not appropriate at all and suggestive.
A bridge too far.
october 31, 2017 to selected bodies of elders in the united states branch territory re: discontinuation of the funds-on-deposit arrangement.
Wow - when are they going to run out of ways to TAKE peoples money without the congregation noticing exactly what they are doing?
ok, i apologise in advance if this seems irreverent to those who believe in god.. but, the bible says that god (jehovah) impregnated mary.
without her consent.
so that would seem to be rape...right?.
Apparently the only solution the guy who made the universe could come up with for the GIANT F-UP he created in eden.
have any of you heard some theories from jws that are not based on scripture?
i have, in the past few days, heard a couple that have me shaking my head.. first one is that since satan was around during the creation period and probably watched on as things were being made, it is possible that he is responsible for the creation of some of the more hideous and nasty creatures that live among us.
surely god wouldn't make horrible things.. second one is that satan already had a bad attitude before the creation of adam and eve and was collecting followers among the other angels early on and stirring trouble.
Yes - EVE was SOOOOO Perfect that...
A) A talking snake did not surprise her as being strange.
B) With only 46 words from the snake - she DUMPED GOD who just made her and gave her everything.
Makes perfect sense.

Did you hear the one about the Princess that had such soft skin that she could feel a pea under 10 mattresses!
Now that makes you think!
how have you all coped with facing the reality of our mortality?.
most of us were raised to firmly believe we would never get old or die... so here we are now having to face the reality that are getting older... we are going to die.. sometimes it really pisses me off that we were never helped to comprehend this most basic of facts.
we were given a utopian dream as a "fact", and hence never taught how to face our inevitable futures.... thoughts?.
I am having a really hard time.
Since I am well into middle age and have lost so so much, its not like there is much time to get any of that back. The back end of life is rapidly approaching.
I am having a hard time dealing with it:(
hello everyone, my wife wants nothing to do with my awakening.
every time i try explaining something she tells me she doesn't want to hear it.
i believe she's afraid of learning something she's not ready for.
Are you going to meetings? How did you first tell her?
When you come out big time up front, its gonna be hard.
It is always better to help lead them to think on things with breadcrumbs.
The "I dont know how this fits" or "why would this change again" or "this doesnt seem like something jesus would do" ... "what do you think" questions.
female martyrs will be chief of 72 virgins the fairest of the women, and plus she will made beautiful , happy and without jealousy .."whoopee" their paradise is worst than jw's paradise..
My question is - what do you do after that 72?
Forever is a long time, if virgins are so worth dying for, what do you do on day 73?
