it takes time...

by googlemagoogle in

today i visited a (ex)jw christian forum, the first one i registered to when i needed to talk about my doubts and thoughts.

i read my posts from 1 year ago, when i was really deep into research about the bible and the canon in particular.

now it will soon be one year ago that i finally accepted that there is no jehovah.

Go at your own pace, google.

I had to fake it for almost two years before my "I can't take it anymore" alarm went off!

Thanks, everyone.

and they asked me to give the last talk of the school impromtooo, ... and i was looking up information.

i used to do those, ... and it woke me up.. and i have'nt been to a regular meeting in four years.

I haven't been to a meeting in over two years. Ironically, I have had dreams (recently) that I was giving talks for the TMS.

Also, I sometimes dream that I am sitting in the Hall during the Public Talk. This dream always has me sitting in the meeting, plotting to get out. Each time I am bored out of my skull!

Jehovah saved Michael Jackson!?

by Gill in

so, there i was quietly dropping off to sleep while listening to the news at 10 on the bbc last night.

suddenly, michael jackson had been found not guilty of everything, and fair enough, i'm no judge or jury so it's not up to me to say yay or nay.. then my eldest son rushes into the bedroom on the phone to his jw full time pioneer girl friend.. her father had just told her that michael jackson had given credit to jehovah, that if he should be found not guilty of these charges his great god jehovah is the one that saved him and the girls elder father was saying what a wonderful witness this is, letting everyone in the world hear jehovah's name.. the best i could mumble at the time was 'go away you bunch of freaks!'.

however, the ludicrousness of this has finally dawned on me this morning!.

There have been some hints that MJ is dabbling with the JWs again.

Jacko's Weekend Holiday

Monday, June 13, 2005 By Roger Friedman

Jacko Takes a Break

As I reported over the weekend, Michael Jackson decamped from Neverland for a few days while he awaited the jury's decision.

Jackson and his inner circle checked into the posh Santa Ynez Inn on Friday.

Jackson is also said to have made an appearance on Sunday with his mother, Katherine Jackson, at her local church.

This would indicate that, at least for the moment, the singer is re-embracing the values of the Jehovah's Witnesses, even though he's publicly separated himself from the denomination in the past.

Read any good books lately?

by chrissy in

so, i will be down and out for awhile after a little surgery this week and i am trying to get a few books to keep myself amused and i am looking for suggestions on something you may have read recently and enjoyed.

i prefer non-fiction, but will consider reading anything highly recommended, as long as it contains at least a spark of truth.

well, i will recommend a book to you alla few days ago, i finished reading into the wild by jon krakauera biographical story about a young man who, after graduating college, got rid of all of his belongings and hitch-hiked across the country in search of jack london-esque adventures.

Letter's From a Nut by Ted L. Nancy (a/k/a Jerry Seinfeld).

Is it juvenille? Yes. Is it hysterically funny? Absolutely. Letter's sent to hotels, corporations, businesses (large and small). Here's a link to review what others have said about this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/product-description/0380973545/ref=dp_proddesc_0/104-9591624-1659109?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=507846
