  by new hope and happiness in

  i mean " courting" certainley sounds more dignified than " hanging out with a new squeeze".

  " comely" is a word i think should be used more often".

  i am going to try and use " jabberwockey" in a sentece today.. anyway do you have any favourite words, in any language?.

  I recently saw this Congolese word (in relation with Suarez biting an opponent for the 3th time):

  ilunga - a person who is ready to forgive and forget any abuse for the first time, tolerate it the second time, but never on the third offense

  Scripture? The GB has spoken!

  The reasoning in the article is that sincere people get baptized and God only hears sincere prayers. So only God only hears prayers of baptized people. Illustrated as: "Human kings do not allow just anyone to enter into the royal palace unannounced. An audience with a king is a restricted privilege. So is prayer to the King of eternity."

  Ow, my ex went mad when she discovered this. We had tell our Bible studies sort or less that their prayers would not be heard. To me it was an eye opener.

  Bye bye birdie:

  the baptism talk was insulting to anyone not baptized. Brother Mangnusun said, "now that you are baptized your prayers are more readily heard by Jehovah. Let me illustrate, a man loves children but certainly a father loves and protects his own children ahead of any others. So your prayers are especially heard."

  So unless you are baptized you are a red headed step child and prayers go to voice mail.

  Didn't you know that?

  *** w90 5/15 p. 12 par. 11 Fear Jehovah, the Hearer of Prayer ***
  Only baptized believers have an unrestricted privilege of approaching the King Eternal in prayer.

  Your final WTF? Moment!

  it was a long time coming for me.....when i read about the extened generations, after being raised on1914 being the be all end all, and millions would never die....that was the end.

  i was part of the 1975 fiasco, the 6 month only truth book studies, suffered through a disifellowshipping and their version of a rewind.

  i finally am free and hope others can eventually look in instead of inside looking out!

  Years of sincere prayers didn't result in the promised strength.
  One day I concluded: OMG, nobody is listening!

  my spouse felt a need to tell to elders about me reading apostate websites and speaking against wt stuff , so they'll probably try to readjust my apostate thinking any time soon.

  my spuse never see me reading anything but, during our arguments i did't keep my mouth shut and she knows that i had to read it somwhere and it wasn't jw.org.

  could this get my in the trouble if my spose is the only witness and never spoke to another person about this stuff ?

  If your teen kid allready has doubts, don't worry about him. Be a friend and when your in private with him, encourage him to follow his heart.

  Wikipedia and newspapers are not apostate material.

  For an easy fade: don't say anything that might sound apostate to your wife.

  You're marriage is the most important thing (I think). So, for the sake of your marriage, you can admit partially (what EdenOne says). You came accross something in the internet MONTHS AGO.

  Actually I worry more about the arguments you have with your wife. And that she's talking about you with the elders. That is uhm... not good, my friend. You're fading. Is she your only link with the borg?

  I am Dutch, but living in Spain. Got a big Dutch flag hanging out of my window (couldn't do that in my JW-days). I blew my horn with every goal loader and loader. My poor neighbours... (not )
