  I had that no. 3 talk, im finding it increasingly difficult to keep up the pretense.. Interesting finding something I can actually speak about with conviction without getting rumbled though! Balancing act...

  i was born in, and i'm 30 years old.

  it's hard to just read as a guest, and not share with anyone eventually.

  Cheers steve and black sheep, ive been doing this on and off with the missus, as opposed to telling her stuff, wording it in a question, 'I don't get this' , or 'how do you understand this' etc.. It all feels a little too slow though, I'm not seeing any fruitage yet, but I KNOW I've got to be more patient... I read experiences like crazy guys recently, things like that give me real hope!

  ITS A MIRCALE,YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPEN TO ME.

  first i made love to my wife, maybe i'm better in bed then i thought, because about an hour after that my wife comes back in and i'm sitting at my desk and i asked her, "when the elders df me are you going to leave me, spiritual endangerment and all" she said, no, i don't feel endangered and we talked awhile and i talked about da ing and not sure what to do, then i shared with her a toned down version of the da letter that i posted and that led to her asking about my beliefs and understandings of who the great crowd and 144k, heaven and earthly hopes.

  i was even able to tell her how they changed or distorted the meaning of the word naos to show the great crowd not in heaven.

  i was able to show her some of the scriptures from the da letter, able to tell her a little about 1914 and how jesus did'nt invisably come in a presence, showing her scriptures on that and some more ttatt.

  Cheers Adam, you're quite right. My long term plan is VERY long though. It's testing my patience already! I'll control myself from now on, false alert everybody, nothing to see here.
