Oh, My. They do-o-o-o look delicious. I might run down to a store tomorrow to see if I can get a Lemongrass for Mom for Xmas. She loves lemon scents since she is allergic to just about everything else. Thanks Lilacs for the site.

i don't know how good the other sents are but the cupcake one smells wonderful.

Welcome to Florida. I'm from Fort Lauderdale. Miami is a VERY BIG place. The most popular beach is South Beach. You can go on from there.

In Key West, the most well-known bar is Captain Tony's.

As with any visit to a unfamiliar place, precautions are necessary. Be careful, use common sense, watch your possessions and have a good time.

now that ive stopped going to meetings, ive had to become the faithful and discreet slave for myself, so to speak, and read the bible often and meditate on what it says.

now jehovah is the spirit; and where the spirit of jehovah is, there is freedom.

bchamber: Very interesting and informative. Can you comment on the following because this scripture bugs me:
I looked up Luke 23:43 in the WTS Greek Interlinear (it's the only one I have). The NWT places the comma after today. Their footnote reads: ""Today." Wescott and Hort text puts a comma in Greek text before the word for "today." In the original Greek no comma is found. Hence we omit comma before "today."
Then they then turn around and put the comma after "today" instead in the NWT. WHY? Could it be as Shera stated:
You can see clearly that the comma was placed in this place to take away from the heavenly hope to anyone who believes in Jesus. No other translation has a comma in this spot. Why? Because this is how the WTS wants the JW's to believe.
Why did Westcott & Hort choose to put the comma in front? OR is this just one of those things that is left up to interpretation? Evidently, the NWT wants to interpret it to take away the heavenly hope from all who believe in Jesus except for (after twisting up Revelations scriptures) their precious 144,000 anointed...all JW's, of course? Sick.
Really would like your comment bchamber. I have to run out to shop a bit but I'll be back later.

my first post :-).
wondering if anyone here is from northeast ohio.
not necessarily looking for any specific reunion, but really anyone online here that may be geographically available to discuss jw matters.
Born in Youngstown. Grew up in East Palestine, Cuyahoga Falls, Akron areas. High School in Troy. Left Ohio in 1976 for Florida, Texas, then Florida again. In Ft. Lauderdale right now. I wish I could be a snow bird. I love Florida winters, hate Florida summers. Love Spring, Summer, and Fall in Ohio; hate Ohio winters. I do miss my Ohio, though.

i am so furious.
the very zealous elderly pioneer sister who lives across the street (alberta) has been canvassing the neighborhood for studies.
i watch her walk up and down the street and being very friendly and helpful with her neighbors (all the while preaching to them i'm sure).
Kist:
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. You answered my question perfectly as to whether I should get involved. I, too, feel the same way and want to get involved for the same reasons. I just have to do it tactfully and soon before the brainwashing takes affect.

it looks like the article with "those who simply leave the faith are not shunned" has been replaced by this one:.

Give me a break..hope for reinstatement? Not interested in this (or any other) lifetime. Their arrogance just amazes me.
