2 tim.2:15 says," do your utmost to present yourself approved to god, a workman with nothing to be ashamed of,handling the word of the truth aright.
" when you were at work, school or play did you find yourself ashamed to tell anyone that you were a witness?
what if they found out anyway?
Constant humiliation and embarassment.
Glad to be out!

do you think that you will see your dear loved ones come back to life in a ressurection of some sort or do you think there is no hope of such a thing?
(((Windchaser)))
Awwwww. . .I'm so sorry to hear that you have a son who died.
It was tough for me to think I would not see my grandma or mom again, after I left the jws. Then I realized that I wanted to stop thinking like a jw. I thought outside the "jw box" after that, came to the conclusion that I will still see my loved ones again, even if I did not have the answer as to the "HOW" of it . . . at this moment.
I don't need to know all the answers NOW. Later is okay, too!
Love,

what is the wt policy on shirts for the brothers?
are they supposed to be only white shirts?
my son, no a sort of waning mormon said that he thought it was funny that the witnesses here copy the mormons (white shirts only).
My son was counselled for wearing colored shirts. The elder told him he was "supposed to" wear only white ones!
Geeeez! <rolling eyes>

my friend was counseled for having a bad attitude because he wore white socks w/ his suit.
When my son was a teenager, he and his friends made "crop circles" . . . .
I'm so proud of my boy!

sheesh...first they disfellowship me without even meeting with me at all...and then the other day i call my mom on my annual call home to let her know i am alive and her grandchildren are ok and becasue they were christened in the methodist church i am now an apostate, and ..."liable for the second death.
"
Yup, welcome to Apostate-ville!
I, too, was disfellowshipped without my attendance at their judicial meeting. I knew about the meeting because there was a message on my phone one day, "We are holding a meeting on <date> to "conclude" this matter."
Based on that comment, I realized that there would be no point in being there. They knew what their "judgment" would be whether I was in attendance or not. I didn't need the drama. So I did a "no show".
Their evidence against me was that an elder's wife saw me and my dance partner leaving a dance . . . together. ooooooooooh! I'm soooooo baaaaaad!
You have friends here. . . take heart!!!
ESTEE

one of the things that i think i was supposed to believe all my years in the organization was that the earth is the only inhabited planet.
am i right in this or am i having a flashback???
is there other life in the universe?
I got to thinking about that issue when I watched a purely demonic movie called "Out on a Limb". It is about 6 hours long. I watched it TWICE it was so demonic!!!! Very interesting and thought provoking, I thought. Definitely food for thought.
ESTEE
EDITED to add: If anyone else has seen the show. . . .tell me what you thought of it???
