  i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.

  well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.

  makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.

  Saving them for what?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find myself lacking in zeal in the door-to-door work.

  i have this hidden feeling that these worldly people are better off to face jah's judgement at armageddon with their ignorance intact, rather than to bring them into our fold to struggle daily for worthiness and perhaps be set up for failure.

  does anyone else ever think this way?

  i'm married, have a wonderful, but "unbelieving" wife.

  i have three kids, all of whom are honor students and very responsible.. now my dilemma: none of my kids are the least bit interested in being jw's.

  i took them all to meetings even as babies without the help of my wife or anyone else in the congregation.

  My Journey

  by Frenchy in

  i suppose we all think of ourselves as unique and we are in so many ways.

  what i fail to realize, i guess, is that we are far more alike than unique.

  every now and then i will reveal some little fear or quirk or dream that i have only to find out that someone else has experienced the same thing!

  i believe that for the most parts all religions start off with a good motive, i.e., to provide a forum that will help people to serve god.

  (basically).
