  hi all,.

  reading the 1914 thread brought a question to mind.. how many of us became jws because of witnesses coming to our doors telling us that christ came into power invisibly in 1914 and this generation that saw those events would not pass away untill all those things took place?.

  i.e.the new system coming.satan bound for a thousand years.people becoming perfect.ect,ect........ neyank

  JW Dictionary

  warning !.

  the following "dictionary" may be very discomforting to true believers of jehovah's organization.

  if you ask too many questions about these things you are told " jehovah will make it all clear in time.

  I remember the open mind article...it was the start of the "we're not a cult" campaign.
  It struck me even then that what they wanted other people to do ie. question their beliefs was something that we weren't prepared to do ourselves.
  When I was little (must've been about 9 or 10) I asked an elder 'how do we know that WE have the right religion?' (I must have been the sort of child that you want to hit...). Hi reply was 'could all the millions of JWs be wrong?'. I nodded wisely while thinking "there are more millions who DO think we're wrong". Still, after all this time they cant come up with any more convincing argument!

  i've always found it difficult to put into words my true feelings and after 240 posts-i find it no easier.

  i am not a good writer, nor will i ever be.

  i feel most at home with brush in hand-allowing it to do my talking for me.

  I think the world (notable exception being the US) has finally woken up to the fact that global warming IS happening and something needs to be done.
  Unfortunately politicians, as always, let us down and failed to get the agreements at the recent earh summit. It is very disappointing that the USA is responsible for a disproportionate amount of the pollution.
  The UK has suffered some major flooding recently and is ready to make tactical withdrawls from certain areas of coastline which can't be defended.
  What will things be like in 50 years time i wonder?

  Public Reproof

  an open letter to my virtual congregation.. last night i opened a bottle of chardonnay with dinner.

  within a short time the county had another bottle to recycle and i had a muddled brain.

  i know better than to drink and drive, but i hadn't learned not to drink and surf.. i presently don't have the time to go back and read any posts i made, and interestingly enough, i can't quite recall what i wrote.. to any of you that i may have offended, angered or bored (most likely bored), i heartily apologize.. if i had a headache, i would refuse to take an aspirin.

  I must be drinking the wrong stuff...I just get smart and then fall asleep. Sometimes I get close to being good looking but sleep usually wins.
  You'll have to post some cocktail recipes mommy (sorry, I still can't help giggling when I type that)
