so today i was in kansas city shopping for wine and i purchased a bottle of yalumba barossa shiraz (2002 but only because it had a higher robert parker rating than the 2001) and it was $15.99 - just had a glass.

absolutely wonderful.

another ass-kicking wine from south easet australia.. have you had this wine and how did you rate it?

A "friend" has died.

i met this man 17 years ago - new to the city, he was an elder in the congregation.

his personality was warm and loud - (a new yorker, of course) -- i had left home, but i was reminded of home every time he opened his mouth.

one of the most endearing things about him was the way he pronounced jehovah - with an "er" at the end, more like jehover... boy was he loud and warm.

So sorry for your loss

OK, I't My Turn As The Newbie

i'm not sure where to start, probably in two major areas.

mechanics thing, that can't work, and what i see as the lack of true love in the brotherhood.

i've been in "the truth" or lack thereof, for about 30 years, give or take a little.

So happy you have joined us

i never thought i would do one of those infamous goodbye i cant take this board anymore posts where the person shows up again a week later and looks like an idiot.

when i had enough of this board and needed a little break i would just quietly leave for a few months and hopefully nobody noticed.

that is not the case this time.

My goodness I have never seen so many pages on any discussion before so that shows how we all feel, all the very best Dave.

HOW MANY ARE REALLY TRUE TO ORGANIZATION TEACHINGS???

by chuckyy in

my experience since leaving the jw's, knowing certain ones who still have contact, is that many jw's in good standing have done, or are doing things that could merit expulsion.

celebrating new year.

agreeing to blood transfusion.

Help! My parents want to take my daughter to meetings!

i have a problem that im hoping you can all help me with.. my daughter who is now 11 was devastated when we left.

she loved it, our fault we did everything by th book.

she wants to go to the meetings with my parents.

Miss_MG

If she was brought up as a jehovahs wittness it will take time so be patient and arrange activities and arrange for a school friend to come along but the most important thing dont let her spend much time alone with your parents (well meaning as they may be) they will try to indoctrinate her that will confuse and make her a very unhappy little girl you cannot tell her about the organization at this stage she is too young just love her and spend a lot of time with her. All the very best.
