guy pierce was born into a large mormon family.
his mother and father were jack mormons, sympathetic to the mormon faith but not ved/ active.
afterworld war ll, his parents moved from utah to california, where guy was born on november 6, l934.when he was eight years old, his grandmother wanted three of her grandchildren to be baptized in the mormon church.
So, with the changes, he wasn't annointed until 1999, only two years after being invited to bethel. I feel lost trying to figure this out?
ln 1997, Guy and Penny were invited to Bethel, where one of their sons was already serving. ln 1998, Guy was appointed to be a helper to the Personnel Committee, and he was appointed to the Governing Body in 1999.
He can be in the presence of his great God,Jehovah,and be with his brothers,the 144,000.
i was in my company vehicle and i spotted some jw's going from door to door.. i circled around the block and pulled over.
when they passed, i rolled down the .
window and asked the pleasant looking middle aged couple as they passed, if they were jehovah's .
i am reading "stranger in a strange land" by robert a. heinlein.
i read it over 20 years ago.
now i am reading it from a completely different perspective.
The Bitten series, it's Canadian and they have a new series for TV.
pixel's boe letter made me think of this.
i have been out since january 2006. here are the ones i can think of:.
1. deletion of cong.
Wow! I left in 95. I had no idea about all of these changes. Un'freakin'believable!
i will write my story soon... .
Congrats! I attended my df'ing at the age of 18. I would never change that.
i know for me it was soon after lurking here for awhile and reading some threads on the issue.
i remenber when i tore it into little tiny pieces.
it felt so liberating..
They took mine away when I got df'd. Isn't that the usual process?
last night my third oldest child wanted to know why we stayed in the organization so long.
child is a third year college student enjoying all the classes this "wicked system" has to offer, the insatiable appetite for learning makes him want to argue and debate, i don't have the energy to debate because i don't feel good with all life has thrown our way.. .
"the only reason i went to meetings so long was because grandma and grandpa needed somebody to take them to meetings and cobe aunt and uncle and secretary aunt and uncle refused to talk to grandma for years, otherwise i would have stopped attending the kingdom hall because the kids were assholes and i was always the one who had to make "first contact", "i was the one who had to go around and meet and greet newbies while the regular jw wall-flowers (calebs) ignored all the visitors and new persons visiting our kingdom hall.
I took from that that he may be worried/angry about his siblings?
my heart aches because of the wall i have had to build around myself.
this ache is easier to handle than the ache i would suffer if i ever went through the situation again.
i just can't do it.
My heart aches because of the wall I have had to build around myself. This ache is easier to handle than the ache I would suffer if I ever went through the situation again. I just can't do it. I will always love my parents, I always have. I will always pray for them, they have been in my prayers for 13 years.
yesterday after an awesome workout at the gym i was walking to the front door and i saw my former friend who is a "spiritually strong" (non-thinking) jw walking towards me talking with a trainer.
i thought she was either there on a job interview or was taking a tour of the facilities before joining.. i thought should i say hi, should i say nothing, would she acknowledge me, etc.
i decided to say hi to make sure that she remembered that i am a member of this gym, so that she would not feel uncomfortable it she accepted a job there or joined it.. the gym is about 20 miles from where she lived when i was friends with her, but is in a convenient location between where she was living and where she works.. i said "hi n" about five feet before me, no response.. i said "hi n" a little louder about five feet after they passed me.
Hopefully she will be free one day, and you will be there for her. One of my dearest friends finally left a couple of years ago, and it was truly one of the happiest days of my life when she found me on Facebook. It does make me sad that we missed so many years of friendship, though.
