i know we all make mistakes but did you ever really hurt someone while you were a jw, because of sticking to their darn rules?
did you ever, even as it was happening, feel selfrighteous?.
it is something that i have been thru over and over in my head and i have forgiven myself for it, but i can never make it right with the person i hurt.. my dad was an elder , very self righteous, he taught me well, i did what ever he said and acted the way he told me too.
All this has made me cry.
I love you all.

yesterday alone the price of gasoline went up 9 cents a liter here in eastern canada passing from 68 to 77 cents a liter.
a one day jump of 9 cents a liter is equal to about 40 cents a gallon.
so now we pay 77 cents a liter or 3.50$ a canadian gallon.
Here in England Gasoline is 0.80 per Litre (ave price in midlands). Todays exchange 1.00 = $1.65 American. I will let you do the math.

ok here is my deal.... for those of you who don't know already i have never been df'd or da'd.
i just quit going, and was never baptized.
(that will become relevant later).
Personaly, I would phone her and say something like........"sorry for losing contact, I was giving you time to settle into married lif, how have you been ?"
Then see what reaction you get. At least you will know for sure then.

do you feel as if children in the watchtower organization get baptized too early in age?
when you think that in most places, you have to be at least 18 years old to vote, go in a bar, or have a drivers licence.
being told that it was the most important day of our life, wouldn't it be reasonable to wait to be at least 18 years old before getting baptized.
Heathen.
I really can't understand how they could have baptized women back then on account that they didn't have swim suits and women would have had to have been naked in the site of a male who was not their husband.
They wore a Robe, like a heavy night-shirt.

Somewhere Other Than The Night
He could see the storm clouds rollin' across the hill
He barely beat the rain in from the field
And between the backdoor slammin' she heard him say
"Damn this rain and damn this wasted day"
But she'd been waitin' for this day for oh so long
She was standin' in the kitchen with nothin' but her
apron on
And in disbelief he stood and he stared a while
When their eyes met, they both began to smile
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
They spent the day wrapped up in a blanket
On the front porch swing
He'd come to realize he'd neglected certain things
And there are times she feels alone even by his side
It was the first time she ever saw him cry
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to hear I love you
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know you care
She wants to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night
She needs to know she's needed
She needs to be held tight
Somewhere other than the night

several times we have voiced our feelings as to who is the smartest poster.
but how about the most caring and understanding poster.
who shows true empathy for others and their problems.
Brummie.

vicar to kids: santa is toast .
london--a british vicar reduced children to tears and stunned their parents when he said santa claus and his reindeer would burn to a crisp while delivering presents at supersonic speed.. lee rayfield shattered the illusions of dozens of children at a school service on tuesday when he joked in his sermon that santa and his reindeer would burn up flying at 3,000 times the speed of sound.. "there were a lot of children there who still believe in santa, or did so until last night," sue smee, who took her 5- and 9-year old sons to the service, told the daily mirror yesterday.
But EVERYONE knows that Santa has endless night until all the presents are delivered !
