or do traces or attitudes still rear its ugly head of your past involvement with the witnesses?
I still get really really down on myself for past and present mistakes...mostly past, as im a better person now that I'm not a witness. I started a thread here (one of 2! I'm so lame!!) about the guilt I feel when I'm not perfect, and the responses helped a lot. Now I repeat this mantra when I'm feeling down on myself and it allows me to keep things in perspective:
I'm not perfect. I will never be perfect. I will do stupid things.
i know there was another thread about halloween, and i was going to post on it.
but, thought i wanted to make a couple of points on mine.
so.... here it is.. i took my 11 year old trick or treating this year.
growing up my parents would barricade our home off by parking vehicles bumper to bumper - you would have to crawl under the cars or over the bumpers to get to our door.
also, we would turn off all the lights and hide in the back room away from the street.. that was the norm for me.
isnt that insane?
We would turn off all the lights and hide in the basement. I remember being terrified that children would knock on our door! So silly!!
Tonight we went to a neighborhood in town that I had heard was mobbed this time of year...and wow, was it. It's fun seeing the kids and parents from school. Trick or treating is community! Then we came and hit our favorite spots near our house.

in just a matter of days this has appeared.

Or those of us on the left will say it was caused by Fracking.
Earth is amazing isn't it? When these destructive things happen it gets even more beautiful. Kind of like the Grand Canyon I suppose. Simple erosion over a long period of time caused by a river=breathtaking beauty. However this was mysteriously fast! Yep, demons. ;)
thought she was gonna take a pic of me on the sneak.
im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.
so she probably would have gotten away with it without anyone knowing.....except that her flash was on.
information just passed to me.
let's hope this becomes even more widespread.
i wonder if the britain branch suspects a conspiracy?

at the latest co visit something very strange happened.
during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.
upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.
Anything to make people feel LOW and UNWORTHY.
Speaking of Oubliette's tag line, I was wondering where outlaw is?? I miss his pictures.
the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".
7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
Yep, simple solution: don't be a JW!
Sabin, I <3 you and your poem!!!
I would change only one thing-- I do want to see them again, AFTER they leave the cult!
well its that time again when the ghouls come out to play.
i personally think halloween is a bit irresponsible and inappropriate from a sociological perspective.. there's something about the intent of frightening young impressionable children minds with frightening objests.
and feeding them candy which most likely cause tooth decay and stomachs is irresponsible activity conducted by adults.
