The feeling of being disconnected from my family for so long makes me feel old. I think it's because the people I saw all the time when I was younger I don't see to often and you really notice that change in little bits but over time it really shows. The last time alot of witness friends I was 16, then I show up at a family event and I'm 28. That's life and I do get it but it really makes me feel old.

Can some one please explain Deuteronomy 23:12-13
by Jayk inat a bible study when i was younger i read this scripture out loud and totally did with a straight face realising what they were talking about halfway through it.
i think i start reading in verse 12 "when evening falls, he should wash with water, and then he may return to the camp at sunset.+ 12 a private place* should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

I was wondering about the toilet paper issue was. Originally I thought that might be what the peg is also used for..

James mixon I have a friend who is first generation Vietnamese. His little brother started screwing off so his mom shipped him back to Vietnam for 2 years to live without electricity or Plumbing. Ironically enough when my friends mom moved here so her boys would have a better life. They got a baby sitter who was a JW and she was crazy from what my friend tells me. But he was raised a witness also because the baby sitter would bring him and his brothers to meetings. I could only imagine the state of Vietnam during the war if my buddys brother was only shipped back a few years ago. -

But then I'll sit down and enjoy the party and see who goes out of there way to talk to me. It's nice to see some of the people who you wouldn't expect come say hi and wanna know what I been up to.

I see how the question seems immature or not thought out.

I'm a fan of the movie "space oddesy" and only recently saw the movie. Before I ever watched it or knew what it was about I had my own theories about aliens possibly being gods.

Makes sense. On a side note. My aunt told me something about Jod or some other people know the earth was round or that we're floating in space. I made the remark "could you imagine we where created by aliens or what you call a god is actually a alien" she actually seemed slightly open to the fact but quickly turned it back to accepting the bibles word.. translate it any which way you want but accept the bible as truth..

Why exactly was it needed in the bible? Or most importantly it was quoted in one of the books we where reading from a long time ago it was a side scripture we looked up at a bible study. I think the book at the time was called "walking with jesus" or something like that.. thought it was a good laugh now. I understand what it means.
