On the inside I feel like I'm in my 30's . But my physical self feels their's certain limits on movement.
I don't dress like people my age. At least not the norm. Whaterver that is? And by who's standards??

How old do you feel?
by JH insome people look younger than their age and also feel younger than their age.
and some people look and act older than their age.
although i'm 43, i feel like 25. i do the same things and think the same way as i did then, but with a bit more experience which helps me not to repeat certain errors of life.

My first "Wordly" Funeral...
by confuzcious inhey guys, .
i just attended my first "worldly" funeral since i've been out of "the truth" tm.. anyways, i thought it was nicely done.
it gave honor to the deceased, it drew me closer to jesus and it evoked emotions within me.. i'm just contrasting this to the jw funerals which always seems like way to peddle products rather than honor the dead.. no thoughts in particular for me, but anyone have any similar thoughts???.

I am sorry you experienced the lack of concern and not acknowledging feeling with the loss of your friend. I find it appalling!!!! Whatever the higher or god gave each one us feelings to experience. We are not made to go around like robots.
Last night was a celebration of a co-worker life. She passed away week and a half ago. She died of breast cancer. She did'nt want a furneral. It was very empowering and a way to honor of each one of us and our connection with her. Burned candles. There was no mention of God or the bible.
Another co-worker passed away over the week-end, from suicide. His furneral is tommorrow out of state. That will be a more traditional funeral. Have'nt heard if they are having a celebration of his life at work.
A friend of mine who was DF'ed committed suicide. She was from out of town. A jw friend called me 3 weeks after her death. I was floored . She said "Well you would'nt have gone anyway". I said"No it would have been my choice" and it was all ready made for me. I was pissed. You know what? I would have definitely gone. The jws did not do the furneral. A DF'ed CO !! Of course their would'nt be any jw's there.
I thank whatever I'm OUT OF THERE!!

Do you ever just get frustrated?
by Aztec innot necessarily with anything in particular, but, with the world in general?
watching the news is disturbing, there just seems to be so little compassion or empathy.
most of us are so spoiled and we don't even realize it!

I definitely find the way situations are going is scarey. I've said this all along since 9-11. Dealing with terrorism and the dealings with our President and government. It feels like domestic abuse only on Gobal level. Not knowing when the shoe is going to drop. Those of us who understand the ways of domestic abuse understand . One is verbally, physically,sexual and emotionally abused Theres this calm before the strom says sorry and gives gifts of whatever. Overly nice. Tha the shoe drops again. Recycle.....recycle..
Thats what I see has or is happening in Iraq. We battered the country here comes the gifts of food, clothing and medicine. To cover it over the wounds.
Like this am on the news says possible terrorism in the US. This enhances the feelings of waiting for the shoe drop. Creates these feeling of being battered again. Unconsciously it stirs up the feelings all over again. Its connected to PTSD.
I need to make a more of a effort to be selective dealing with the media. You know what ? There will be someone around you that will let you know something drastic is going to happen or has happen!!
I would be appalled if Geo. Bush receives the Nobel Award! I don't know how in good conscience in accepting it.
Done with my rant.

your catch phrase
by SpiceItUp inso i'm sitting here at work and it just dawned on me that i use the same phrase over and over subconsciously.
in my job i have lots of people that thank me on the phone and for some reason instead of saying "your welcome" (which i do use occasionally) i say "not a problem" or "no problem".. what is your little catch phrase that you subconsciously use?.

Celebrating Mother's And Father's Day Is Unscriptural! You Gotta READ This!
by minimus inthe may 8, 1956 awake had the article entitled,"mother and father worship unscriptural".
it states:"nowhere in the bible do we find that parents are to be worshipped, or that there should be a father's day and a mother's day kept in their honor.
worship belongs exclusively to jehovah god, as he himself says:' i jehovah your god am a god exacting exclusive devotion'.
