  i keep hoping and doing searches on the site for people in my area.

  so far no one i recognize.

  i have a few df'd friends that i lost touch with long before they were out (two who were elders actually when they got the boot) and would love to find out they were on here, but don't know if they plan on coming back.

  Your experience has been similar to my recent experiences. My fleshly brother died recently living in the same congregation territory he had since birth (62 years) true he left JWs as a teen but our sistter is still faithful and our mom was faithful to death. How many active JWs attended only 3 family member but many ex JWs and all his worldly friends.I loved the love shown by his true friends (mostly bikers.)

  Many of the faithful elderly in this area have had very poor attended JW fuereals.The excuse given I didn't know her or him very well. Enough of their excuses I don't want to hear how loving they are.

  7 years ago i started on a path i had long ago given up on as impossible.

  i met with my elders and told them i could not justify carrying on as a jw.

  i went and got my high school qualifications and my higher education diploma (a levels with distinction) in just 12 months.

  WOW Fifty years!!! I was 16, excited they were appearing on Ed Sullivan. The congregation was warning all of us young ones that they were from Satan, the end was very close because of their music. JWs have been proven WRONG. I was never to grow old in this system, but I have, but the Beatles Music hasn't lost its magic with me. I often listen to Beatles on Ipod at the beach. I still own Beatle Albums in 33 1/3 albums, tapes, cassets, and cd and on Ipods. Can't play all of them but each album brings me enjoyment from memories.

  How does anxiety affect your heart rate?

  by Splash in

  2. beliefs

  -- 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)".

  My Dr. said recently that many suffering from anxiety end up in the ER thinking they are having a heart attack.
