I'm not complaining, I've had a good life in and out, so it really doesn't matter so much to me. When I got where I didn't like it I left. I think it will be a couple more years before I'm half and half at 72.

How old will you be....
by Scully inwhen you will have been an exjw for as long as you were a jw?.
i was raised in the jws from before the age of 10, and stopped going to the kh at the age of 31. i was involved with the jws for a total of 23 years.
i will be 54 years old by the time i have spent more of my life as an exjw than i did as a jw..

The God of death...
by zeroday ini could no sooner kill a dog much less a human but the god of death yearns to destroy 6 billion plus humans to uphold his sovernity.
the omnipotent god, sees all, knows all just to watch his creation live and die and yet does nothing to stop it.
would you, stop it if you could.

Amazing you make a few good points but what I can't really understand is why nature,most wild animals etc. which have no choice are more cruel in their actions than humans. And also the natural disasters, viruses, mosquitos which according to TV has killed half of all humans who have lived. Who was responsibile for all this, not humans, so it must have been God.
Also when God chose a tribe of people they were used to kill continually the other nations and then God turned on them when they didn't meet his every demand.
It's hard to see this loving God that so many say he gave his son so he could forgive us of something we didn't do.

I didn't know several of them until they told me who they were. The brother who gave the memorial service did a good job. It was so different from the times when I was giving them. He talked about my aunt and her life, even mentioned how much she liked cats. I asked about some of the ones I knew and they had died. My wife went with me and they were friendly with her also.
It was held in the new KH they built a couple of years ago.

From what I have seen in life there are very few happy families. If you are happy with your life and family just enjoy it. The human race is a screwed up mess and those who have a happy life should appreciate it and nurture it. It takes a lot of work and forgiveness by both parties to keep life happy and especially love. I'm glad you are keeping yours together and wish you luck in the future.(I was refering to your husband and kids as your family)

I can't seem to stop thinking about my sweet Coco. My other little dog will miss her so also. She whines when Coco went to get a hair cut until she came back. My daughter actually owned the dog but she has lived with us sine she was a puppy. She went with me to the vet and made the decision with me to let her go. She was crying along with me. She comes over every weekend and gives them a bath. I hope my Ginger will be OK tonight without her sleep mate.

Enlarging and changing my business - finally.
by Madame Quixote inwell, after years of indecision and inability to settle into any real career, i have finally decided on a viable, meaningful one for me; and it's one that has endless potential (for work, at least).
i am doing research now and will probably take some courses and apply for sbc grants to start my own small-scale recycling business.
i already have a few potential clients in the people for whom i currently work, and will hopefully have references and other clients from them.

Having a terrible voice, A MAJOR CURSE!
by free2beme inanyone hear remember the old police academy movies?
remember the black lady who had that soft sweet voice, that almost sounded like she was breathing in helium, and how people would not respect her?

My brother and I have almost the same voice. I remember once calling his wife and she thought I was my brother. Just a normal Southern red neck(just kidding).

Robotic Elders - Then and Now question.l..
by james_woods ini would assume that there a few of us here who are ex-elders...i am at least one, having resigned the "commision" in about 1981 and left the jw world shortly after.. here is my question: do present-day elders live under a greater degree of control from the society (circuit/district overseer, etc) than we used to in my day?.
i never really felt like we were being put under a "microscope" back in the 1975 to 1980 era - but now i read a lot of comments about how paranoid the society has become, and that maybe even the elders feel that they are under the thumb of the ever-present "big brother" wt society.. just my imagination, or have things actually become more controlling, even for the local elders?.

Darned if I know. I left in 1972 when I was a Congregation Servant or something like that and can't remember too much of how it was like except I was overloaded with too much WT slavery to keep the congregation going.
The only two meetings that the servants had with publishers were, one for adultery, DFed and another sister who's worldly husband was using a light bulb for a sex toy and it broke and she had to go to the hospital. She requested the meeting because she was afraid of what would be said. I just told her I hope she would be OK.

All beliefs are illogical, only facts are logical. Of course I believe I'm smart so that proves my point.
