pm me if you'd like to chat but don't want your location known on the board...
I should have remembered that area, but I live about 70 miles from there. I did give a few talks there about 50 years ago. We went there as a family back then, my dad had JW friends who lived there. I remember going to their home and eating dinner after the 3:00 PM Sunday meeting. I can't remember their names anymore. I enjoyed my young years with my family as a JW.

What is the RTP area? I live in NC but don't recognize that area, of course my mind doesn't work very well lately.

my daughter exercised on a bicycle machine and her muscles swelled and caused a rare condition that put her in the hospital.
i can't remember the name of the condition but it is a serious problem.
it causes problems with your kidneys and other things.
Just got back from hospital. The problem is called Rhabdomyolysis. I just looked it up on the internet. It can be dangerous. I think she will be OK. Her kidneys are OK now. She was given a pain killer and she was alergic to it and made her nauseous. I hope she feels better when I go back in few minutes. She is a beautiful person in so many ways.

It causes problems with your kidneys and other things. I'll have to write down the name of the condition, I can't remember it now. I'm going back up there in a few minutes. Give her your good thoughts. Her name is Jaime.

for believers:.
does an omniscient god's permission of the loss of human life due to natural disasters imply some sort of negligence?.
if god possesses the power to prevent suffering, but chooses not to, what reasonable explanation can be offered?
Haven't you read the first few verses of Nahum?
It explains all the differeent natural disasters and then says,"Who can stand against his indignation? and abide in the fierceness of his anger? his furry is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him."
Yep, he's mad at mankind and you better watch out.

i didn't know there had been a major deportation of illegals in 1954 in order to open up those jobs for americans needing work.
with unemployment rising quickly, do you think that the next president will produce another 'operation roundup' so that they can better manage the countries finances and labour problems?
operation wetback was a 1954 project of the united statesimmigration and naturalization service (ins) to remove about 4 million illegal immigrants from the southwestern united states, with a focus on mexican nationals.. .
I would just like to keep the English language and the hospitals.

the more i read on this site, the more i see that all religions think their version of what is right and wrong is what matters.
some punish you now for disobedience to the church's rules and others supposedly give you your reward in the hereafter.. some live their lives with more strictness.
others are more liberal.. look at the jewish faith.
The church is Wesleyan. I just go to please my wife and learn what religions teach. They beleive the trinity doctrine, and getting saved etc. Just sometimes the preacher sounds like an elder.

Sometimes the preacher of the church that I attend with my wife sounds like a JW. He was talking about witnessing door to door, uses Jehovah often and some other things I can't remember.

that was the question that i asked myself for many years when i struggled to believe the deceptive texts flowing forth from the watchtower.
sure, this doesn't make any damn sense to me but apparently it does to six million other people.
they can't all be wrong, can they?
If you can't find who is right, how do you know who is wrong? I'm talking about finding God. I just can't seem to get any evidence of his actions in the present. The things that was told about God in the past doesn't seem like someone I would like to worship.

My 2nd cousin walked out of her house after her husband and children were asleep and shot herself. She was in her early 40s. She was a JW. Her dad was killed in a car wreck several years ago. She had depresson and biopolar problems. Her brother sometimes post on here. It seems all I hear lately is someone dying in my family.
