I know what it's like to be moving and packing endless boxes, I did that several months ago to move interstate. I don't envy you. As outnfree said, just tackle one box at a time. Even if you have a spare 5 mins, it's surprising what you can get done during a commercial break! It's also a good time to clear out your closets and get rid of any junk you've been accumulating.

the ngo should provide an audited annual financial statement, conducted by a qualified, independent accountant .

my wife and i are in the process of pulling together the threads and links on the un and wt- as we were going over some sites we ran across the above, can you believe that the wt would not tell it's 6milion members the financial status of gods organization, yet would volunteer to tell satan's number one tool and agent on earth the un.

can you say hypocrite

JT, Can you provide a reference for that, please?

Was there a special song that meant alot to you when you left?

nice thread.. "when the world turned blue" by joe samples & lala hathaway.

it just had a big impact on me when i was leaving the watchtower, i still play it now.. "soul 2 soul" keep on moving.

i was playing that a lot at the time so it had an impact on memories.. "havent you heard" patrice rushen.

When I was discovering the truth about "the Truth", realising that my religion was no longer The One, and wondering if I'd be shunned by my family for leaving, this song was on the radio alot, and I could really relate to it. The words that particularly were meaningful to me are highlighted in red.

"No Matter What" - Boyzone

Chorus:
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say

Repeat Chorus

And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No Matter What

Is Having Kids Worth It?

by Prisca in

ok, i'm a single female in her early 30s looking for someone to settle down with.

i'd like to have kids, but the trouble with dating guys who are over 30 is that by now most have a kid and/or have decided they don't want any/more.

so i am getting faced with the dilemma of maybe finding that someone special, but he may not want to have kids.

Prisca

I just want to thank everyone for their responses. There are too many for me to comment on, but many of you have given me things to think about, and I value your imput.

I know raising kids is no picnic. It's not something I am about to rush into, nor do I think it's something I am going to let myself miss out on (if I can help it). I believe a child needs both parents, so I will be careful when and to whom I fall pregnant. Hey, I don't even have a regular guy yet, so it will be quite a while before I start asking for knitting patterns, LOL!

Thanks again guys.

first, simon and other mods, please let this thread run its course for a while.

if it gets too dicey, then i will move or lock it.

my goal is not to have a big flame war, but to expose an issue for what it is.

Well said Waiting. I think some male posters here have a hard time getting away from the elder/MS mentality.

navigator joined us on the last day taking a break from his cruise.

we enjoyed it so much so i thought i would share just a little of it with you.

Beautiful pics. I went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef several years ago. It's unreal being under the water, swimming alongside schools of fishies and around coral.

Thanks for sharing your pics. Glad you guys had such a fun time.

i have my reasons for not saying much on this thread and i really think the warning was put out there and it is up to you to trust jes,,,,,,,,someone you have known a long damn time, or someone who has already been deceptive.

i don't want to say anymore,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, my reasons are very important to me and there may be some that may want to pm me about this , if i feel i can trust them , i will answer questions.

i will not answer some questions on this thread to protect a poster here whom i dont want to hurt , she is a sweet lady and he knows her well, i don't think she knows he is even on this forum.. you all know me,,,,,,,,,,, you know jes,,,,,,,,,,there is more to it than you think.

July 8 Awake! - Erik Haaest's Recommendation

by Stephanus in

jw
friends

from the back of the 8/7/2003 awake!

so, who is this erik haaest, what is he an author of, and why would the 'tower flog the recommendation of a wordly author so enthusiastically?

can any of our european friends enlighten us?

Prisca

The Society is not flogging the author, but using the "recommendation" that the guy gives so enthusiastically about their book. The Borg does this often - as long as they can find someone who will say favorable things about their publications!!!

Also noticed that the cover for the Search for God book must be their softcover version. The original hardback was a plain red cover with gold lettering.
