As I said you are more of a forgiving person than myself.
Forgivness also doesn't mean forgetness
in thinking back over the years past it makes me really sad what we have come to as jehovah's witnesses.
i never thought i would ever be at this point in my life.
in doing some new year reflections i can't help but think of the people i cared about in past years.

well, i just got home and im piping madd.. im laughing about it as well though because i outsmarted them at their own game and got a rant off my chest.. heres what happened.
an acquaintance i used to go to the hall with.. who is also 3 years younger than me asked me for money about 6 months ago.. at the time, i loaned him $50 to get the tires on his car fixed.
in that time period, not only did he move out of his parents house to an undisclosed location because he decided to stop going to the kh.. but i also da myself in that time frame.. due to the fact he moved out, i havent been able to reach him.. i tried calling his parents home to discover his current location or at least to tell them if he contacts them, to be sure to have him reach me because he owes me money.. no response.
Geesh didn't even look at the date on the thread

now that u are thinking about deserting the org and religion.....do you believe in the devil?.
I don't know what I think about this I do know that I hate religion using Satan as an excuse for all wrong doing.I think people need to take responsiblity for their own actions. All I know is if Satan is anything like Al Pacino in "Devils Advocate" Holy Crap he is scary

My two cents first as a parent of an almost 18 year old I'd kick his ass if he did that to someone. I always loved the witness mentality "screw your brother but if he is now longer in the "truth" F*** him over".
Do I think you should forgive a debt ya if the person was struggling and had kids but a little brat that asked a favor then hides. Funny my monster Father in law always looked at the debt thing that way he would just burn himself out in a community take take take until they would almost run him out on a rail!!!
I understand that your irked, venting is great and having a place to vent is great but you can't expect them all to be nice or agree that my dear is life
funny test!
i love it!
have a great new year everyone!http://people.cornell.edu/pages/anb2/quiz.
