  i was wondering if anyone else is feeling it on the wind that there seems to be a coming.

  equivilency between officially disassociating onesself, and simply being in a state of.

  non-association as a walkaway, fade-out, inactive person.

  If I read this correctly, then I really hope that is true. Now please don't take this the wrong way. The reason I say this is because of this.

  Both my husband and I are dissocated. And of course we are being shunned by our JW relatives. In that group are a number of inactive JW's who are also shunning us. Infact they are worse, if I may say that, than the active JWs. I feel that my inactive JW relatives are being very hipocratical. They have not attened meetings in quite some time. They chose to just go inactive, so they would not be shunned. Yet living their lives no differantly than I am. Infact, my father in-law, a former elder, refuses to ever step foot back inside the hall ever again. But he also bitches at his wife for even saying a short hello to her dissocated son. He is one of the biggest hipocrates I can think of. I am really wanting him to get a taste of his own medican.

  And the other reason I say this, this might also cause a back fireing in the faces of the Watchtower.

  I do not understand the father going on with the wedding. It seems like they would want happy memories to look back on.It's weird.

  That is just plain weird. I don't know about anyone else here, but who would want to have their marrage anniversary that close to the (not sure what to exactly call it) anniversary of your children's death. Not me, I don't think I could even bear the pain.

  Those who simply leave the faith are not shunned.

  I about choked on my tea with that one. What a line of BS, lie is that one. My whole family and hubby's whole JW family do indeed shun us, and that's not counting all the other JW's that we know who are shunning us. I do remember this man from my old congeration who DA himself, about 6 months before I did . We as the congeration was very much told to shun him. If I only had the forsite to record that.

  Family members say Miller, a single mother who divorced last year, was heartbroken that her ex-husband and her two children's father, Arthur Miller, did not postpone his Sunday wedding date.

  At 3 p.m., he married Tynette Solomon, a co-worker at Double G Coatings in Byram. The ceremony and reception were at the Hilton Hotel in Jackson.

  Prisca, you did not read that wrong. I don't know about any one eles here, but if I lost my children I know I would not be getting married, before I buried my children. He must be one cold hearted jerk.

  Tammie, your true talent is spatial ability
  
  This ability to visualize objects in three-dimensional space can give you a unique view of the world. You appear to understand how figures can be manipulated and take on new forms. Because of this talent, you can probably imagine new designs easily, including anything from floor plans to page layouts and even 3D product prototypes.
  
  People like you are usually great when it comes to putting together assemble-it-yourself furniture or other household items whether the items arrive with instructions or not. (God, how I HATE assemble yourself furniture.) Your spatial skills can also help you understand the finer points of how things work.
  
  How do we know that your true talent is spatial ability? While you were taking the test, we calculated your responses to each test question, and noticed that, relative to others, you consistently answered questions that measure spatial ability correctly.

  armaggedon - jehovahs witness speculations

  o.k, so we all know that j.w's all have their own ideas on what exactly armaggedon is going to be like.

  here are a few of the ideas i have heard from loyal dubs: .

  Here are some that I heard of when I was a dub.

  I was out in field service, and in this car group were two elders speculating on how Jehovah would handle things. Of course they never preached this from the platform. Jehovah is going to put us (JWs) on another planet when the earth is all crowded and messed up. One of the elders have sinced passed away, and the other is still an elder.

  There would be an announcement that we were to meet together, and go some where safe.

  And here is one that my mom would always say: "Just before the ending prayer of the district convetion, the attendants would lock the door. All those who did not leave early (you know to beat the rush trying to get back to the hotels) would be safe inside. While all those who choose to leave early would be destroyed at the big A." (I changed it to big A, but she said Armageddon.)

  having finally accepted that the united kingdom is not the centre of the universe - i know, it hurts, it hurts - i have been boning up on some american history for a change.. first off, i have been watching a series on sky that deals with the american civil war.

  wow, what an amazingly complicated conflict that was.

  i was astonished to learn that the the uk was about to switch it's allegience fron the north to the south purely for trade purposes so as to keep it's cotton mills spinning.. secondly, i have been swotting through my encyclopaedia's for more information about this conflict.

  But slavery was the main one, and was the only one serious enough to go to war over. Think about it: take slavery out of the picture,totally---------if slavery didn't exist or if both sides agreed on the issue, would there have been a Civil War? Don't think so.

  This is a total untrue statement. The civil war was not about slaves. Infact, slavery, was on it's way out anyway. Most folks who lived in the south was very poor, and could not afford to care for them. Only a very few, did own them. The war had to do with "big business" and the south was getting the "shaft" or was being cheated. People was getting tired of the Northern banking system and Northern businesses telling them basicly what to do.

  Yes, I got a full education of both sides view point of the civil war. My mother is from Wisconsin, and my daddy was from the south. (Texas and Oklahoma) I had also went to school all over this country. Every state has it's own version on the reasons for the war. And actually my family of that time was fighting each other. (cousin) General Grant was on my mothers side, and (Uncle) John Wilks Booth was on my father's side. That's the black sheep of the family. Plus a number of other military personal. Which many was either killed or wounded. As far as which military prisioners that was treated the worse, was the Union militiary. Has a couple of great Uncles (can't recall right at the moment how many greats ago) who died at Andersonville Military Prision.

  I'm sorry to say but as recent as my own daddy, there is a strong dislike for those of the north. Don't ask me why he married some one from there. Me personally, I feel that is some very old history and time to move on.
