  How weird is this?

  by safe4kids in

  as many of you know, i'm divorced, have been for 2 years now, after a 13 year marriage.

  my ex and i get along pretty well, we're friends of a sort, and we have our kids' well being as our main priority in life.

  that's not the weird part..well, i suppose in some ways it is, but that may be a story for another post!.

  DYING OF CANCER, whom can help me.

  by nightwarrior in

  2. experiences

  have to share this experience with you all.

  years ago we were advised in england that computers were frowned upon not to bother with them,anyhow i never listened & therfore we bought into the computer market,we were allso advised not to spend to much time with televisions,of which i took alittle note got rid of it for six months,it gave us back family time ,any how as you guesed it the persuasion came from the local elders ,(geting rid of things.).

  we then decided to buy a caravan ,yes this was frowned upon ,as we wanted weekends away to enjoy life with the family,people complained that we wouldnot be able to meet for field service transgresing against jehovah stealing his time,anyhow we went out and bought a 23 foot twin wheel caravan the one you have to pull behind a car or jeep.. we visited lots of areas of natural beauty in england .but the story now gets interesting ,we ended up storing our caravan down in summerset ,we had great times at the site meeting all types of different people & familys,we met a special middle aged couple & there famiy became good friends,the husband has developed cancer ,has been given six months to live,he was left for deadby the hospital with no hope of seeing next christmas or beyond,, he had cancer in his liver ,i found a article on the internet wherby a (cancer surgeon ) had a way of operating on the liver ,i informed my friend ,gave his wife the contact address,and three weeks later he is booked in for an operation that will save & prolong his life,the surgeon is going to starve the infected cancerouse liver then remove the slight infected other liver which will then start to grow ,kapow a new lease of lifeto a man who was resigned for death.. my point here is.. if,we had listened to the society, (about bad associations ).

  Would some of us be better off as Witnesses?

  by Jerry Bergman in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i have often wondered if many people would be better off if they stayed witnesses.

  some people i have known have really gone off the deep end after they left the watchtower.

  most all of my family have left now (not due to me as i was cut off from them for years) and many others i know who have left are now bitter atheists or have become pagans and worship stones or new ageers playing with crystals.

  Looking Back, Were You Easy Prey For The Witnesses

  2. friends

  based upon your life and circumstances, were you easy prey for witnesses to get to you with their message?

  were you going thru some trauma or bad times?

  Its a good thought to ponder - I often wonder the same about my mum and dad - why they stick to it so venimously. My parents are still `strong` even after me (their eldest) leaving 20years ago (DF) and in recent years two of my three sisters DF & DA. Ironically, there is only one sister left in it now and she and her husband won`t even speak to my parents - they say its because my parents ocassionally contact myself and my other sisters. So now my parents are dammed if they do and dammed if they dont speak to any of us........My sister once asked my mum why she stays and she says that she couldn`t live without some sort of faith! Hmmmmm and this coming from one of the `remnant`! She is very intelligent - but still wont / can`t question the basics even after the loss of all her blood family. Sad eh!

  Well I think you need to see a GP and get some help for this.....its ok...I think anyone that has experience with JW`s has a `hermit` type of existence I know I struggle with it coz its safe...and can get worse at times....if you are young it is part of knowing the world and yourself......I would suggest you try and get a network of supportive friends ones that you trust and get out a bit...its hard but often worth the effort....Hope you feel better soonXXX

  i'm watching this show on vh1.

  the hosts are adrianna and christopher from the sopranos!

  they declared the end to certain things from 2002. my personal favorite was that people using cell phones will no longer be allowed to use the phrase "can you hear me now" amen brother.
