  i was looking at the link nelly has posted for the bethel tours and went to the comment sections.

  they had posted a comment from a "spiritual widow" and i had to wonder what the heck they meant by that???

  what do they consider her hubby already dead???

  Knight Education

  young king arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom.

  the monarch could have killed him, but was moved by arthur's youth and ideals.

  so the monarch offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

  Where were you when you first came here?

  i noticed in a couple of threads people discussing the impact this board would have on jw's with doubts coming here and reading the messages.

  it got me to wondering where most people that post here were at...what stage in their jw/ex jw process...when they started reading and/or posting here.

  also curious, when you did come here what was your main focus?

  with the 4th anniversary of my parents death looming and the anniversary of their last wedding anniversary party where my family was together and happy for the last time just being past ....i was feeling kind of depressed and wanted to reach out to what family i have left.

  i sat there and debated in my mind if i should do it...should i try and reach out to my sister..see if i could reach her across the barrier of the jw religion.

  should i try to remind her that we are sisters...we were sisters before we became jws and we will always be sisters.

  Funerals

  by Xena in

  2. friends

  i haven't been to a "worldly" funeral...well ever that i can remember.

  all the funerals i have been to have been jw ones where they use it as another opportunity to preach to everyone in sight.

  they usually make a token mention of the dead loved one and then begin with the resurrection and earthly paradise and how you have to be a jw to get there.. today i went to my aunts funeral.

  How Long???

  i have been drifting for about 1 1/2 years now and was hoping that in a year or two i would have distanced myself enough from the org.

  that i can actually start living my life exactly the way i want to...aka celebrating the holidays by putting lights on the house, not having to tell my daughter not to say anything about going trick or treating, getting birthday presents or going to cheerleader camp.

  but i read some posts in the disfellowhiping thread started by somebody where people have been inactive for 3 years and are still disfellowhiped!

  Redneck Church

  by Xena in

  2. humour

  thought this was amusing.... you might be in a redneck church if... .

  people ask, when jesus fed 5000, whether the two fish were bass or catfish, and what bait was used to catch 'em.

  the pastor says, "i'd like to ask bubba to help take up the offering," then five guys and two women stand up.
