Had Lunch with Prisca.

by Lehaa in

i'm feeling really good today.. i had lunch with prisca yesterday, it was really great.

we talked about the reasons we both left the borg, it was really great to talk to someone face to face about everything.

the best thing is she only lives 10 minutes away from me, how great is that.. she moved to melbourne about 12 months ago.

I don't think the WT is cracking for everyday people,only towards people who are famous and bring in the money.

If I was a still a JW and my daughter was involved and I put her in a competive sport...whoa...I can imagine the "mark" ,I would get.

Nothing against your opinion czar,but this is how I see it.

I don't mind what the Williams girls are doing - it's healthy and normal to be playing tennis. I just deplore the hypocrisy as other jw youths are told not to pursue their passions, whether it be athletics, acting, singing, or other endeavors.

Agreed!So true.

Would You Have Ever Let Your Child Die & Refuse A Blood Transfusion?

by minimus in

i'm sure that i would've, believing that jehovah god would be proud of me.

I had alot of problems with this,but I knew I would let my daughter have one.I would have been scared what would happen with her,because of the aids situation,but there was no way I would let my daughter die.

(nothing against the people who would not have,I have been a JW before myself so I understand)

What First Stumbled You?

by glitter in

jw
friends

what was the very first thing that "stumbled" you?

mine was: i was about 5 or 6 years old and of course i used to find it really hard to find things in my bible at meetings (couldn't find the books quick enough before they moved onto the next paragraph and used to get frustrated).

i had the idea to make little tabs for the edges of the pages so i could tell where the books were - so i asked mum to help me neatly write out the book names on tiny slips of paper and tape them inside.

Tssskk!

***hugs*** Not very nice stuff to go threw!

My reason sure isn't as harmful,but it was during WT studies and the info and scriptures didn't add up.

Belief-O-Matic says I'm a Mormon

by rocketman in

i took the "belief-o-matic" survey at beliefnet yesterday, and it looks like i am a mormon.

the survey matches your beliefs on various matters to the creeds of the world's religions and assigns a percentage.

i was 100% church of jesus christ of latter-day saints.
