Nope. We have more social media and more technology to get news out immediately, around the world. It only SEEMS like it's the "end times".

I'M SERIOUS!!!! If you eat cupcakes you will die at the Big "A"

i was just doing dishes not really thinking about anything in particular, and all of a sudden this experience came flooding back and i started crying.. a few years ago i went back to one of the states i lived in to see/visit my friends (before i learned ttatt, i was still a happy borg at this time).. the friends i were staying with had two young girls, one was 3rd grade and the other was preschool.

so one day the father comes home after picking up the older girl (i think she was 7, 8...i'm not sure exactly this was several years ago) and she was all red and looked like she had been crying.

i noticed she had some blue at the corner of her mouth.

Aaah crap, I just ate a Hello Kitty cupcake! Guess I'm doomed. Guess I should binge eat, drink heavily daily, and go worship Baal. *Sigh* That poor little girl. I don't remember you telling me that story! Ok, so you WERE still Borg, but dang! I remember my 4th Grade teacher called my parents and said that I put an ornament on the classroom tree lol. I was in SO much trouble! (I was always in trouble, so I don't remember what happened)

Awesome! Thank you mom :) That is quite interesting. I never went through the Temple endowments because I just didn't feel right doing it. You can't do it until you have been 100% faithful (tithing, church service, calling duties, etc) and at least a year after your baptism. I was not going to do it. I was curious as to the rites that happened. They say they are "not secret, they're sacred", but that just seemed so fishy to me. Makes sense now. Wonder where their rituals in the Temple come from for the Sealing? Do you have any info on that? When you are married (and both people hold a Temple recommend) you get "sealed" to each other, and children to their parents, so everyone in the end is all sealed in one chain of humankind.

For my husband, he knows nothing about cars/engines or tools or fixing things. I need to put everything together, and I do quite well, and enjoy it. We don't have a car because I was tired of doing all of the wife/mother things and working on the car on top of that. The largest parts of the male brain diagram are completely my brain! Plus the typical "stepford wife" OCD issues I have. lol. Only thing is...his brain consists of his 40 hour work week and making sure his shows are downloaded on time. That's it. Total. Oh, and baseball. (Sports are something i thoroughly enjoy as well.) I WISH he had that typical male brain, and more than once every 4 months. We're not even 30! lol

Watchtower vs. the Roman Catholic Church
by Farkel in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the roman catholic church (rcc) religious leaders wear ridiculous clothing.. wts elders wear ridiculous cheap suits.. .

one can wear a beard and still be a priest in the rcc.. one can wear a beard in the wts, but never be an elder with one.

it's bible-based(tm).

Well that sums it up!

!!!!INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT!!!! this morning. Family member hears TTATT.
by Gojira_101 in
1. jw
2. friends
so my husband's brother called him this morning.

i will call his brother earl (fake name :) so earl calls him out of the blue, hubby hasn't talked to him in a few months.

earl was never baptized and left jw's in his later teens and the family has also thought he was a low life and the black sheep of the family.
Stubborn Disbeliever

It's so refreshing to hear stories like this!!! I'm glad they were happy tears today. I know you both were having such a hard time even just a month ago. I'm glad Earl called and is open to hearing the info.
When I was DF'd (it has actually been 11 years in August now), it was like those exorcism things you hear about, where it felt like something was ripped out of you, but then you felt alive and real. I was never "in", but pretended to play the part, and it was still shocking how I felt like I had heavy chains unlocked from my whole self.
I hope Earl and his wife (and others) keep their eyes and hearts open to the info they receive. I still am just baffled by TTATT (last night was pretty intense just looking around JWN here!). So I'm sure you'll be hearing from them more often. :)
