  2. friends

  say you didnt want to be in paradise would that mean you were anointed,because i never liked the idea of living in parklike surrounds,singing birds,waterfalls,etc.

  i mean i have grown up in the city and thats were i wanted to stay,so say didnt want to live in paradise what then.i remember someone thinkin that they were anointed because they had this feeling that they werent meant for the earth huh?

  You know, I don't really know if I ever wanted to live in paradise, it was just a belief that I had that seemed as sure to me as Sunday coming around every week. Know what I mean?.....

  I often wonder how deeply rooted this belief was now that I have left. NEVER have I ever felt sad that I no longer have this "prize" to look forward to. NEVER.

  I do remember wanting to be happy in the here and now and not feeling happiness. Always felt like I was striving for something better....something more. That was of thinking really was a thorn in my side for many years. It hasn't been until the past few years that I can say that I can honestly know what contentment is.

  I no longer am afraid or uncertain of death though. I have a wonderful life now and feel as if I am living in a "paradise" now. I want or need for nothing. I have a sprituality that I never experienced when I was a dub.

  This listening we are told to do is only for the purpose that we can use what they say to get our own line of reasoning across to them.

  Matty....you just summed up everything that I learned at Pioneer School!

  Okay.....maybe I still do have "issues"......criminy. After reading this upbeat (gag) article about door-to-door witnessing I became increasingly agitated!

  Jeremy is walking alongside his mother. They stop at one house displaying a "No Soliciting" sign, but are not deterred. Mrs. Berger says she figures the sign applies to people selling things, not Witnesses spreading good news. Unless a sign says specifically "No Jehovah's Witnesses" -- which some do -- she generally knocks.

  This p.o.'d me!

  "Good morning, how are you?" Mrs. Casper starts in, her face a happy smile. "I know you weren't expecting anyone. We just thought we'd brighten your day a little bit. . . ."

  Okay, if ANYONE talked to me like this on a Saturday morning when I wasn't expecting visitors........aarrgghhh......a comment like that certainly wouldn't "brighten my day".

  Guess I need more work, peeps. More issues to iron out! Oh the hours I wasted door knockin'!

  hello.. after lurking around for some time decided to join.

  i've been df for 32 years...and glad for it.. i'd pretty much laid the jw stuff to rest until last year when my older sister, after years of absence from my life, made comment to me about "struggling with the truth.

  " i took it upon myself to begin some research and have been "hooked" on these type forums since.

  Bikers are sooooo hot! (fluff)

  well, i must digress..... i was traveling home from work last night when a biker and i both stopped at ajoining stop signs at the same time.

  i waved for him to go ahead of me (two roads were converging into one).

  he flashed me this goregous smile and went ahead down the country road in a blaze of leather and hair on his steel gray harley.

  plmkrzy...........yes we must!

  FreeRangeChicken......No, I didn't "lift my shirt" at Sturgis, but I did a few weeks back when I went riding w/my friend! It was really hot and we were with a group of about 10 riding. Bruce road up besides me and mouthed out "show me your tits" and for some strange reason I did! I blame it on the heat, but it was pretty liberating! I laughed when he almost drove off the side of the road. Guess he was suprised that I did something like that........sssshhhhhhhh.......don't tell "Filthy"! LOL

  I have always had a fascination w/bikes and bikers. For my wedding gift my hubby bought me a 1999 HD Heritage Softtail.....custom painted to my favorite color (PURPLE!). It is my pride and joy......nothing like being a woman and being able to handle it!

  I do have to say one thing, there are the stereotypical "bad" bikers, but for the most part, bikers and the most loyal and nicest people around. If I was broken down on the side of the road, I would much rather have a biker help me than a man in a 3-pc suit! We have a group of about 30 that we ride w/intermittently and each and every one of them would drop anything to help a fellow biker out.

  Ahhhhhhhhh..........YEAH!

  I remember when I first met my "filthy".......instant attraction! Who would have guessed that we would be married later on?!

  Last year I went out to Sturgis for the first time........I was geared up knowing that my hubby would be seeing bikini clad women and would probably trip over his tongue.......

  I never thought that it would be ME that was having a hard time walking! HOT DAMN......you should have seen the men on the bikes!

  But after the long ride home, my favorite sexy "filthy" biker is still my own hubby!

  Amanda.........first, a HUGE hug for you and your daughter. By the number of posts on this thread, you know that you are surrounded my many many friends who care deeply for you.

  I can only "guess" what has happened by your posts, and I don't like guessing so I just want to say to you......even though you don't feel strong right now YOU HAVE TO BE. Sometimes that means leaning on someone else for support. Your daughter needs you to be strong and you can do it!

  Call a Crisis Shelter, call a friend, call a doctor. CALL SOMEONE.

  Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
