I think people who think they are of the anointed have delusions of grandeur. They want to consider themselves like gods or that they have some special direct connection.

I have just starting to go to moon ceremonies as well. Except since we are on the east coast we smudge with sweetgrass. I also smudge at home on a weekly basis. I found out last month that my father is half Lenape (native American) so I've been really diving into my native roots.

Best and worst experience in your religion?
by haujobbz inill tell you my best experience in my belief was being totally drunk at my mates wedding surrounded by jehovahs witnesses who were trying to talk to me even though i didnt want to talk to them (and they were the ones who ignored me at meetings lol)and all i could do is smile at them because i couldnt understand what the hell they were speaking about,and i was so happy and they were so offended because i was pis~@d.

Worst - The hell my parents were put through as they sat through all my teenage committee meetings. To this day they still think I am inherently wicked. In fact, the elders made my dad a servant the day I moved out of the house.
Best - I never knew I could be such a wonderful person once I left.

What are your careers?
by The_Bad_Seed in.
having milled around this board for a little while, and getting to know the odd poster a tad better, one (at least i do) gets to wondering what some of you do for work.... i work installing custom hardwood flooring and ceramic tiles, with the odd wc renovation, and was going to start a career last year in avionics, but our friend osama put my plans on the backburner, until (or if) the canadian industry returns to normal.
i am considering going to university to further my photography skills, and am currently (and very slowly) working on a pictorial book that i hope to be published by the time i am 95. oh, and i devote 87643 hours of service to yhwh each month.. your turn.... .

I graduated High School in 1989 just like you P. And, just like you, my parents refused to let me follow my dreams and go to college. It was off to regular pioneer-dom for me. I'm alot smarter these days and will be graduating next May with my batchelor's degree. I currently work as an applications engineer. Not bad for a JW who was once heading nowhere.

I loved 12 Monkeys! It's one of my favorite movies along with the Matrix, etc. I like films that mess with your entire preception.

Tacoma Ass--embly
by Cappuccino OC inmy dear aunty, just told me that this last weekend they where admonished not listen to the "secular" news.
they gave the example that during sept 11 all the tv stations had erroneous information.
that the real truth about sept 11 & hope came out a couple months later with their "awake" magazine.

the police said he is "extremely dangerous" and one of the victims , now in early 20's,gave an interview and said "do not bother with the elders, go straight to the police

Yes he certainly did. I got the Chicken Pox at the age of 22 when I was a JW in Rugby and everyone insisted - I was not to go to the hospital - James Barratt could cure me with a little white pill under my tongue. Needless to say Chicken Pox as an adult is quite serious and I suffered for a month with high fevers, etc. In my delerium I decided that I could cure it by getting drunk and watching horse racing on tv. Needless to say he had a thriving practice.

What do you like to watch?
by SpiceItUp inok...not that there is anything wrong with serious threads (i for one enjoy them) but i was looking through the ones today and decided i needed a bit of fluff in my day (been way too serious lately).
so my question is..even though its rerun season...what tv shows do you like to watch?.
myself - i was an avid "x-files" fan but alas they have ended the series .

I like that new Law & Order show - "Crime & Punishment". Sometimes Sunday night is the only time I ever have time to sit and watch TV all week. I also watch "State V" on Wednesday nights if I'm home.

DEAR WTS, I love your new director.......
by deddaisy inanother example of gross hypocrisy - do they honestly think that these type of things will never be discovered?
unbelievable.
i suppose their excuse is that the shares were donated as gifts and through wills etc, yet surely they should not accept them if they are not appropriate to the teachings of the organisation.

This whole issue really disgusts me. We lived on mac & cheese for a year as a kid when my father got fired for refusing to do military work (he's a machinist). He thought Jehovah would bless him for standing firm but, while we were suffering, the Watchtower had its hands in the military pie.
