I've tried Heaven but I can't get it to upload from the pictures on my iPad and my desk top is poorly, I think I need a new one.

When I upload a 'moments' photo from my iPad to this site it loads into the Have your say.... box, I can see it, but I just can't post it. The post reply button just won't work.

My Book, 'Gifts in Men', by Patricia F.Sadio

by GiftsinMen in

another member on here announced the publication of my new book "gifts in men, a heavier responsibility" a couple of months ago and some of you asked who i was as to my authenticity and motives.

i have had an amazing reaction to my book even from jws who know me and my story but were still shocked at the details.

i was not raised a jw, not disfellowshipped nor disassociated and loved being a regular pioneer, serving in uk and ireland.

Dubstepped I guess I just don't think my story is interesting enough for anyone to pay for it. Perhaps I am just too lazy or too exhausted to try and write a book. Good luck to those who do. Writing is work after all and deserves a wage. Some people's stories need to be heard.

JWs are just weird people, I think their going insane!

by ReligionOfHatred in

there's a interesting situation emerging where i live and i want to share it all with you because its proof i think jehovah has pulled his holy spirit away.

when elders think they can steal from the government and pretend to be holy, than jehovah god has left us!.

This person is obviously an active witness who joined seven hours ago and may be having a problem using this site. Welcome ROH. I hope you haven't been frightened away. Please finish your thought. We are actually nice people, honest.

I wish someone would explain what all the cynicism is about this person's book. It seems that last time it was mentioned it got a similar reaction, people asking what are her motives. Is it because she is a woman, used to be a pioneer, or what?

Haven't punky, OTWO and Terry also mentioned their books on here to a favourable reception and rave reviews. I don't get it.

Thanks Patricia, I didn't know about your book I missed that thread. So I presume you have since been disfellowshipped? How is life for you now? I regular pioneered for ten years because I thought I was saving lives when in fact I was just ruining mine.

Helen Keller is not a hero

by StopTheTears in

jw
friends

few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.

helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.

keller was a communist.

Hi Mary I've been growing climbing French beans for a few years. They're very easy and absolutely delicious. I also grew Cosmos from seed like Bonsai and that is very easy, delicate fern-like leaves and big daisy flowers. Dill grows well from seed as does Nicotiana. Sorry I can't remember which variety of Nicotiana I grew but it grew to about five feet tall with flowers that smell lovely in the evening

Why Me?

by John Aquila in

do you ever wonder why out of all the witnesses, you are the one that woke up?

i wonder many times why me.

i know many men and women that are much, much better persons than me; either they are much smarter, more humble, kinder, more successful, or just better persons all around.

For me it wasn't about 539 VS 607 etc. I just felt unhappy in the Org. I felt lonley and I also felt isolated. I had these factors first and then one day when in front of the computer I punched a question into Google and that was it.

OMG this went right through me. To have had Google in the eighties and in the privacy of my own home ask the world a question! Then we might have got out sooner and with less pain. To have had this site to come to and get help. Thanks Simon.
