  I live only a few hundred miles from Roswell. It's a really big deal down there still. Every year they have a big celebration on the anniversary of the crash...

  Welcome Limbo! I know it's difficult at first, we're kind of newbies also, and we are happy that you are here with us! Just breathe. It does get easier. Take time to give your mind a chance to become clearer. Hubby & I had to re-learn everything of what we thought we knew of the bible. We understand tho how some can become so disheartened that they cannot possibly believe in God. But you will sort it all in time.

  The FIRST Memorial I’ve missed in 41 years…

  by Londo111 in

  2. friends

  last year, my last jw memorial, i listened to the talk as an outsider would.

  the speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, i saw that the interpretations made no sense.

  afterward, i had a private memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

  Wrong week to stop sniffing glue: Do you know Don't call me Shirley? He's a new poster. Same movie, just a thought.

  This will be Hubby & I first time missing in 49 yrs. We plan on doing a quiet celebration at home by ourselves. I just posted the bread recipe on the other thread about the Memorial if anyone needs it.

  Anyone else celebrating the Memorial with just their families at home tonight?

  tonight, i have decided to bake unleavened bread so that my partner and i can have our own memorial at home.

  i already have the wine, and i will be serving it in an authentic ancient greel drinking vessel called a kantharos that was used in ancient times.

  i've collected ancient greek and roman coins and antiquities for quite a few years, and i thought it would be neat to try be be as authentic as possible by serving the emblems in ancient wares.

  leaving the org was not a doctrinal choice for me as it was for many on this board.

  i left mentally because of the boredom and then i physically left by being dfd.

  i have been reading here for about a month or so and now i know i made the right decision.

  In AZ [U.S.A] they used the driver's license list. I served on the COUNTY Grand Jury for 6 months because at the time, I had no excuse not to. But after my own research and asking a dear friend who was an elder. The Grand Jury was different than a regular trial hearing. You are only read details of a case and then you decide if there is enough evidence for it to go court.

  I learned alot in that 6 months! I also learned which JW's had got arrested for DWI's/DUI's
