  anyone else bored with religion versus atheism or is it just me?.

  i'm planning to go to greece in may.. i'm thinking about planting rocket and beetroot in my garden this year because they are getting rather expensive to buy.. this week i want to make chocolate refridgerator cakes.

  some for my daughter who is coming home from uni this weekend and some to take in to work to give away with free tea and coffee because it's national libraries day on saturday.. i just finished reading the humans by matt haig which was brilliant.

  How does anxiety affect your heart rate?

  by Splash in

  -- w54 4/15 p. 233 scriptural aspect of psychosomatic medicine --.

  "doctors have found also that anxiety slows down the heart beat as much as 27 beats a minute.

  the bible shows that men become faint out of fear and the heart may stop.luke 21:26 (men become faint out of fear)".

  Reading exJW then JW facebook sites can make you go crazy!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's absolutely amazing what exactly the same event can do to the jw community and the exjw community.. the difference is that the jw community does not think and has the expected response... we think and, of course, have the exact opposite response as the jw's.. take for example the march km with the "will this be the last?

  here are some comments from a jw site:.

  wow it comes like that in the km?

  I see the same reaction that I saw in the early 70s the JWs are so trained to expect the big A, they read KM, Watchtower, and study books for any little hint of a coming date.

  as you can see from the picture, in the kingdom hall there was a board with "publishers, books, booklets," etc... aparently for the entire congregation.

  not sure what the other line is, maybe it is a goal?.

  I remember the board with publishers names listed and their hours, mags, books, etc. I use to sit and study it when I was bored as a child. This was the 50s

  Pete my experience with JWs I grew up with most have now moved on with their lives. 3 kids in my family 2 faded and 1 JW. My husband 4 children' 3 faded and 1 JW. Simular satistics in the familes I was in KH with. My best guess is 1 in 3 raised in JWs remains a JW for life. By the way all these kids are now senior citizens except one she is only mid 50's
