i'm writing this here because i need someone to talk to, and you're the only folks i know who will understand.
most of the time i think i'm a pretty happy and together person, but lately, i'll see something that reminds me of my family and i'll spontaneously start crying.
i miss them so much and my heart keeps breaking, and even though i have kind people i work and volunteer with, i feel so incredibly lonely sometimes.
Miss B, I feel your pain. With the exception of your hospital experience I have been exactly where you are.
It hurts to lose your family for any reason; it's particularly painful when they self-righteously shun us because of a religious delusion.
My only suggestion is to begin forming new friends. You can and will find people that love you for WHO you are, and not for WHAT you (pretend to) believe.
It gets better.
Oubliette
can you be true to god, yet hide the facts?.
would you rather have the truth covered... ?
or do you want to know the facts?.
I think all of this stuff comes out of the horse's other end.

CT, wow, that is fresh news!
That ToMo is a real tool.
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
VI: Just put a folded copy of the September 2015 public Watchtower, highlighted where it says they will never solicit for funds, into their contribution box.
Great move. Now the local elders know they have a hidden "apostate" in their midst. That'll drive 'em crazy!

Is Newbergh in New York, US?
Was it this last Saturday, May 30th?
in 1897, j.j. thomson discovered the electron.
this was the first constituent part of the atom which, for 2,000 years, was thought to be indivisible.
today, we know of 18 elemental particles following the recent discovery of the higgs boson, the so-called god particle.. back in 1897, most people believed in god because there weren't even any theories as to how the universe came into being.
Cofty: How can a fantasy be dead?
Obviously it can't.
Nietzsche wasn't talking about the literal death of a real being. Here is an interesting commentary from the Philosophy Index about this famous phrase:
Friedrich Nietzsche writes his famous declaration, God is dead several times throughout his works.
The meaning of the phrase is often misunderstood — many have interpereted that Nietzsche believed in a literal death or end of God. Instead, the line points to the western world’s reliance on religion as a moral compass and source of meaning. As he explains in The Gay Science (Section 125, The Madman):
God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

What CAN be given and what WILL be given are not the same things.

Wow, when and where was this recorded?
Garbage in, garbage out!
i've always known that df'd ones were supposed to go to all meetings and study for all parts yet there seams to be a lot of other things the elders make people do, what are they?
