unless you are out in it.
Brr.
it is wonderfully cold and clear outside.
the sun light is glistening on the snow.
when you step outside the snow squeeks and squiggs underfoot.
unless you are out in it.
Brr.

Think BIG.
wouldnt you like to know, minimus Maximus.
not sure i've ever read any experiences from former missionaries here (but i'm sure there has been) .
but it would be very interesting to know how you feel about it today.
everything you sacrificed.
This is the thread I meant to bump :)
Seriously, though, missionaries. Gilead. Been thinking about this today.
Why are there missionaries, anyway.
hi guys and gals.
i hope you're all enjoying your lives, whatever path you have chosen.. i have a question for anyone who is currently re-instated, has previously been re-instated, or knows and is still in contact with a re-instated one.. my question is this:.
is the main reason for getting re-instated:.
Fake it till you make it.
Or so I hear.
Anyway the fam doesnt exactly welcome back with open arms, if their ubers like mine.
several years ago, whenever i got a talk slip i would get really nervous but accept it and work on it almost immediately.
of course that was way back when i still believed it all.. now they gave me a #3 talk out of the blue about a month ago and i had forgotten all about it till the meeting night.
i really thought about not showing up at all but at the last minute, i decided to go.. so when i got there the meeting had already started and so i just stayed in the back looked at the info, found 2 scriptures and then without any notes i went up and gave the stupid talk!.
Well I was a kid- started when I was about 6 years old, Always an overacheiver. It took me a long time. What a dumb thing for a kid to be doing. Should be getting socialized with other kids. Almost over it now.
Kinda.
greetings to all jwn members and lurkers,.
i would like to extend all a warm-hearted invitation for our upcoming memorial this march 26th 2013, we will be having the lord's supper at sundown in a jehovah's witness kingdom hall near you.as you can see in this invitation, jesus died for all and that includes abraham, tyndale, pastor russell and many others.
maybe you can identify the remaining key people on the top left side of jesus.we will have a wonderful talk about how jesus gave his life for all humankind thus opening the doors for everlasting life.you can all go to our official website www.jw.org and find the nearest kh where you live, under the tab about us and then go to meetings.you and your family are all invited and it is free.
I cant go cause I dont have any of that multicultural garb everyone is wearing.
I attended the memorial in 2002 to appease some people.
If I ever go again I will drink all the wine and then walk out.
please forgive me if you consider this to be presumptuous, i know i am an ultra-newbie here.
but, i see a lot of threads on jwn that read something like, "what is your dog's name" or "where's your favorite vacation spot", "what's your special name for your spouse", etc.
i give the opening posters of these threads the benefit of the doubt that they are creating them simply for entertainment purposes.
COME AND GET ME.
so last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.
I love this thread.
thank you for all of your support durning the two difficult weeks my mother was on her death bed.
last night at 10:30pm she breath her last with my sister and i by her side.
this is a real end of an era for me as i have known little these past 8 years other than taking care of my parents.
Hi Roberta. My sympathy. the end of an era is the beginning of an era.
