  Diagnosis:
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I do not know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.
  You were born somewhere around territory of modern Alaska approximately on 575.
  Your profession was librarian, priest, keeper of tribal relics.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
  Seeker of truth and wisdom. You could have seen your future lives. Others perceived you as an idealist illuminating path to future.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:
  You fulfill your lesson by helping old folks and children. You came to that life to learn to care about weak and helpless.

  looking after dying jw

  by A Paduan in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  part of my job involves palliative care - and tonight i was looking after a dying jw man - awakes, nwt bible and the rest around the room of course.

  after feeding, washing, consoling, giving drinks, turning etc (you get the picture), i thought 'none of my colleagues are jws or even religious, but they are the ones here.

  i'll post again tomorrow, he may not be alive i suppose - but i can say that i haven't seen family about, let alone any "brothers/sisters" about to feed or console - i just see a scared and alone person - and thank goodness we're not all jws.

  JW alternatives to holidays

  by YellowLab in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  even though you couldn't celebrate holidays growing up as a jw, did your parents ever have alternatives instead?

  in my case, we never celebrated christmas, we had "surprise day" usually a week before.

  instead of celebrating thanksgiving, we would have a turkey dinner a few weeks later.

  We never got presents in lieu of Xmas or other hols.....my parents were very stingy with money so for them it meant they could save more money! I spose the idea being that we could go on holidays BUT as soon as I left school and earned my own money I was excluded from these too. I have always over compensated for my own kids and spend tons on them each holiday - mainly coz they don`t get extended family gifts....

  Time travel- if you could...would you?

  by freedom96 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was recently looking at a picture that showed my city almost a hundred years ago.

  i started trying to imagine the scene, but in color, and what it would have been like.. they say if time travel was possible, you must be careful, for what you do could alter the future.. though i know it is not possible, i think it would be fantastic to do so.. so, would you do it if you could?

  what time era would you go to?.

  Have You Been Divorced?

  by Outaservice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  divorce is much more common in the jehovah's witness community than they would like to admit.

  probably more so than the population in general.. if you have been divorced do you think that the watchtower society contributed to the divorce, or caused it, or is it just possible you married some jerk or abuser and divorce would have occured no matter what religion you were, or even if you had no religion?.

  possibly you got married way too young as the end was coming and there is no marriage in the resurrection if you died.
