My mother used to make me go OUT IN SERVICE on Halloween. One woman felt sorry for me and gave me candy. I'm suprised my mother let me keep it.

I had terrible back pain for years, herniated disks and stuff. I was given two options by the medical community, surgery (no guarantee) or pain meds. The meds messed up my stomach so that was out.
I would sob with pain and couldn't walk 1 block without crying.
Thank God I found Network Chiropractic. It's a mind-body connection which helps you to let go of trapped emotional energy in your spinal column which causes pain. A combination of mild spinal adjustments and breathing.
I can now walk almost a mile before having to sit down and haven't had a pain pill in over a year.

Artwork portraying the coming Paradise earth.
by Blueblades inmany readers of this journal and its companion, awake!, enjoy the artwork portraying the coming paradise earth.
of cause, we do not know exactly what the paradise earth will look like, and the pictures published are simply artisic impressions based on such bible passages as isaiah 11:6--9.. nevertheless,one christian woman said:"when i see pictures of the coming paradise in the watchtower and awake!, i examine them closely, as one would a travel brochure.
i endeavor to see myself there because this is where i truly hope to be in god's due time.".

Looking at the pix of the Big A, notice that all females (even doomed ones) are wearing modest skirts.
Hey Dave, how's your um.... leather seat? All healed up?

friend getting DFed tonight and my upcoming meeting....
by red so deep inwell it looks like my friend's dfing is getting announced tonight.
she decided not to try an appeal because she really doesn't want the stress of telling the story all over again, and she's heard horror stories from one of her friends that was dfed about 12 elder appeal committies and whatnot.
i've really been trying to help her out and let her know that it's going to be incredibly difficult but that i'll be there for her even though i'm baptized (when i was 11 years old..great decision...) pretty much all of her friends will be cut off from her, except for the few "worldly" friends she has, but it doesn't sound like her mom will really allow any association with them either.... so we'll see how the weeks ahead turn out... i also have a meeting thursday night with two elders in my hall.

Your poor friend, why is she going to that meeting? Is her parents going to make her attend while she's DF? This is messed up.
She's lucky to have you.

Fun cat toys!
by Nosferatu inmy ex picked this up a few years ago.
she knew i wasn't fond of bill gates, and i got a royal kick out of this cat toy!
i still have it, and the cats still attack it.

I've had two cats that loved string beans. Whenever I would sit and clean them they'd sit there and stare at me until I threw them one. Then they'd worry it and play with it until it was a pulpy mess.

Thank those who helped you out of the Org
by Nosferatu inhere's a thread for all of you to thank those who helped you make your way out of the org.
i'll start.. i'd like to thank my ex-fiance for the support that she had given me when i needed it the most.
when i was faced with the elders coming to give me a shepharding call, she had given me the encouragement to stand up to them, and tell them truly how i felt.

OK, think "Survivor."
16 JWs stranded on a island, no food, except maybe a plate of blood sausages. Whoever broke down from sheer hunger first and ate them would be voted off.
Ditto Memorial emblems.
OK, for the reward challenge, the first to successfully elicit a "voluntary donation" for a book or magazine from a native islander wins a sturdy 4-door service car.
For immunity, survivors are given 20 scriptures, whoever can quote the most of them in their entirety wins immunity. The rest... Tribal Council!!
Another challenge would be to place Smurfs in their camps. Whoever the demons attack first wins immunity.
