Been there....thanfully, haven't done that. You say you are 41 and have grown children and grand children. Behave yourself as the mature, responsible adult you are supposed to be, a living example to your children and grandchildren. You are still legally married until a divorce is final. You can still ride with you friends and have fun. Be a real man and do what you know is right and proper. talley

Thermodynamics Falsifies Evolution

by SYN in

jw
friends

.

an interesting article.

your comments, guys?.

talley

The "automobile in the desert" example is totally wrong, as all us upper midwesterners know. We constantly look for antique and classic models that were purchased new in the dry southwest of the USA and stayed in that area: no rust, no corrosion, replace belts, seals and hoses, a little more fun stuff and you have an antique ready to roll under its own power!!!! I was ambovolent about evolution until life experience, observation and occupation impressed upon me the wonders of genetics, development and birth. No contest in my mind - all life (plant & animal) has not been derrived from some grand accident, rather it was marvelously designed and implemented.

1 6oz. package of cherry Jello

2 cups. boiling water (disolve per directions)

1 can of cherry pie filling

8 oz. (1/2 pint) of heavey whipping cream

after disolving per directions, let cool to just above room temp and add the cherry pie filling, stirring to blend, then add the heavey whipping cream (do not whip), stirring again to blend to uniform color. refrigerate - I give it a couple of more stirs while it is beginning to set up just to be sure (?) - until firm. can be topped with cool whip or the real thing or left plain.

The Reasons Why You Were A Jehovah's Witness

by minimus in

jw
friends

many here have been raised as witnesses.

others were introduced to the "truth" through various forms of witnessing.

what was the common denominator for remaining a witness for the time that we have?

talley

I was 'found' in the door to door work and the lovely person who contacted me and I hit it off personality wise. She was funny and down to earth.

On the intellectual side, I had been reading (studying) the Bible for at least 15 years and seeing how the doctrins the Bible teaches would not correlate with my Lutheran upbringing. On my own I did not believe in the trinity, heaven, hell, emortal soul, so when Jeaneane came to the door the first time, she was surprised that I kew who the Father was by name, etc. I devowerd the Let God Be True book in less than a week. The JW main doctrines seemed to be right on the mark. As time went on I did the slow fade because as an org. it appeared to me they were going way beyond the Bible, getting into judging that belonged to Jehovah and Christ alone, and after experiencing several congregations (hubby of the time thought frequent moves would separate me from the org.), noticed that there was a definate lack of the Fruitage of the Spirit. Started fading in '73, after the divorce, and after 10 yrs. of being very active. I do not believe they are Jehovah's org. because of their 'fruitage' over the years.

The best thing that ever happend to me was meeting and marrying my 'worldly' husband, Bud, who is a living example of Rom.12:13-16.

"Crisis of Conscience" and "In Search of Christian Freedom" by Ray Franz, which I learned about through this board, after finally getting a computer, verified my logic and gut feelings.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY STOLSIS (sp) TO ALL !!!

i have already gotten an email from someone stating that their gift arrived safely in the mail.

i thought it would be nice to start a thread where we can post what we got (for those nosey like me who want to know!

) and a thank you.. as for me, i haven't even begun yet!

talley

Thank You , Englishman and Her Ladyship, for the very clever combination hot pad-oven mitt-potholder; what I wanted and really needed. The refrigerator magnets exactly match the accent color of my kitchen ( how did you know that ???) !!!!!!!!!!

A suprising side benefit is that every time I go into the kitchen now and see the mitt hanging and the magnets on the frig I am constantly reminded of all you wonderful people here on this board - absolutely warming the cockles of my heart - and the special thought and effort of Englishman and Her Ladyship in making my Christmas brighter.
