… and it came about that the Pharos became incensed when he heard of the slaves complaining. The Pharos decreed that in addition to making their quota of bricks that they would now have to gather and chop the straw that was used in making the bricks. The idea in this being that they would not have time to complain while working to make the demanded quota of bricks.

REASONING FROM THE SCRIPTURES,page 243

invisibility.
when an plane is in a thick cloud or above the clouds,people on the ground usually cannot c it,although they may hear the roar of the engine.jehovah told moses;"i am coming 2 u in a dark cloud.

Hi,
Instead of representing invisibility wouldn’t clouds better represent anonymity, obstruction and general vagueness?
Just a thought.

An epiphany, and prelude to other thoughts
by onacruse inwell, this is being a remarkable couple of weeks for me; one of those moments i'll remember for the rest of my life.
not to be melodramatic, but i think "epiphany" best describes what i'm experiencing.. a little history: i was born and raised a jw, bethel-bound at 8, baptized at 10. always a book-worm, liked to study math, science, and old wts publications (what a combo lol).
when i wasn't vacation pioneering (as it was called then), i spent my summers in my room, frequently reading for 16 hours at a stretch.

Ravyn,
Your actions transcended beyond faith and belief into the realm of true love. I wonder how many of us could be so brave? I am truly impressed.

Ever been to a therapist?
by teejay insorry if the title came across as a "minimus question," but after posting to one of joelbear's threads, i thought of my experience with therapists.
all together, i've spent between 20 and 30 hours in counseling on two separate occassions and, i'm happy to say, both of the counselors and both of the experiences remain very good memories.
i found out early on that for them to do their job, you had to be bluntly honest so that's what i did.

Oh yeah,
Some of the hardest work that I have ever done has been in such an office.
Came away from the experience with a better understanding of myself and learned a new set of survival skills to live in the real world.

Kaytee & Twink's "Resignation" letter
by twinkletoes inthis was the second letter given to elders that turned out to be a "resignation" letter.
this was, as you will see, because they chose not to answer any of our questions.
the reason we are posting our letter, is because it is now obvious (by personal experiences) that ones who we thought were our friends are now choosing to shun us.

If you are going to listen to elevator music like White Zombie then you should have no worries. It is the harder stuff you need to worry about
