someone that i know well because of my business, suddenly died, while on vacation.
i talked to his wife yesterday.
she told me that her husband's view of life was that he wanted to enjoy life every day and that when he did die, he wanted to die in his favorite vacation spot, aruba.

so said an italian man on page 31 of the 2/22/03 awake!
magazine:.
awake!
I was feeling these weird rumblings in my tummy, and I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered I hadn't read the latest Awake!, the Awake! told me that rumblings were commonly caused by being HUNGRY! Amazed, I found some food, and sure enough the rumblings went away! Thank you Awake! for once again saving my life!
Condescending Crap!!!!!!!
a paragraph in next weeks study had me seeing red.
then i thought, why should i have all the fun?
regular readers of blondie should be able to pick out the manipulative language.
How DARE the organization presume to know whether someone really loves god or not?? The outright arrogance just amazes me.... over and over again.
km, feb 03 - page 3, paragraph 6: .
a brother who was unexpectedly laid off from his secular employment took advantage of the situation to auxiliary pioneer....reflecting on his experience, he said: "what a month!
" how elated he was for having jehovah's direction and help!
It makes me angry that the watchtower uses unreal experiences like this to cause witnesses further grief and guilt over not doing enough. Where is the love? It puts unreachable expectations on everyone. It suprises me that the organization doesn't cause more suicides than it already does.... this has really made me sad, I remember feeling SO inadequate because of dumb experiences like this.
been a witness all my life all i see is negitivity,why.do you have nothing better to do than to type your life story on how you left the truth,who cares..im happy where i stand
AGGGHHHH! Please forgive me, I HAVE to respond to this troll, or I will explode...
I feel guilty for all the hours I spent in field service, brainwashing people. I hope my little time on here can undo some of the damage I have done.
arghhhh!!
it's cold in jersey today.
normally, my girth protects me, but as i was having one of my weekend cigars, i noticed that i had to keep switching hands while i warmed the other.....gar!.
Country Girl,
There are some nice things about the cabin, but more bad than good for me right now... I'm thoroughly worn out, working full time almost an hour drive away, I really dont' have the time or energy to devote to all the work it takes. We have a wood stove, but it doesn't seem to keep it warm enough, not to mention setting the alarm every three hours in the night to add more wood. But its free rent right now and I can't afford to move. I hate the complainer that I have become, because it seems like that is all I do anymore. Sorry!
arghhhh!!

.....a 2 part question.......1--- if you were still a witness and you played the lottery and won and 2--------if you won, right now.
Simon you always have such a cute way of saying things! I don't know what a lashing is but it sounds cool!
arghhhh!!

Its really really cold here, our water is frozen so I've been outside chipping at it and running inside to warm my hands over the wood stove. ahhh, to have running water and central heat and air again, I"d give almost anything! Screw this old time living...
remember the watchtower that asked "are jws a cult?
" and then listed things that cleared it of the accusations of being such?
cant remember the date.. anyway one of the things it said was that "cults" usually have a lot of ex members testifying against it and the damage it has caused to their family lives.
I to am shunned, it makes me so angry and so sad at the same time for all of you, and the pain you've all had to endure. This might sound cold, but that my family shuns me is actually a huge relief in that I don't have to deal with them anymore! My life is a lot happier, without that abuse all the time, however it does make me so sad that I've lost my mom and my sister to this viscious cult and I'll never have the same relationship with them, because even if they left tommorow and they suddenly thought it was okay to see me, it would take awhile for them to get back in MY good graces, they have hurt me deeply, its time for them to make the apologies and come begging back, not me.
