Sorry to respond so late, I hope you see this. I was never a JW, so I doubt we know eachother. You may know some of the same people I knew through gossip though. I caused quite a stir in Wichita with some JW's. But I would love to talk if you would be open to that. Again, I would love the chance to talk about the bible to you, but please don't feel overwhelmed. If you don't believe the same as I do, we can still be friends. I would love to meet. If you want my email, just let me know. You know how small Wichita is, we have probably seen eachother sometime already. HEhe

One of my favorites is the one I have as a quote
-don't be so open minded that your brains fall out.
-bloom where you are planted
-pace yourself-an elephant can be eaten, one bite at a time
-there is no limit to the good people can accomplish-if they don't care who gets the credit
The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them. ---a man soon finds out how little he knows when a child is asking questions.
-a man often shows his worse side to his better half
-speak well of your enemies-remember you made them

by TheItalian ini apologize in advance for the length.
when i finally resolved myself to choose a nick, after a year and a half spent as an infamous lurker, i very likely thought to be the only one from this vaticanland interested in this weird net-place and its inhabitants.
but yesterday i found out it's not this way.

SP-I am from Wichita too, maybe you would like to meet sometime. I am a christian. I could possibly help with some questions you might have. Or maybe we could just be friends. No converting pressure, but if you have some questions that I could answer, I would be happy to do so.

Thank you for sharing your story J.J. and welcome in from the shadows. I was never a JW, so you might find better advise from others on the board regarding that, but I wanted to welcome you.

by Tyler_Durden in"our father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come" matt 6:9,10 (kjv).

Have you ever spoken to someone who used your name over and over again. Tyler how are you doing today, Tyler? Tyler, I have to tell you a funny story tyler. Tyler, you won't believe Tyler what happened the other day, Tyler. Tyler, I was on the street, and Tyler, would you believe what I saw there Tyler? I think people should think about why God told us what his many names were. The same reason that you tell people your name. So that they may know who you are, not so that they can annoy the crap out of you using it over and over and over. Also, how sad he must be to note how people can fight and argue over something so trivial.

Give credit, good or bad, where it is due
by whyhideit inthis might sound familiar
a family in the kingdom hall is having some troubles with money.
they are hardly making enough to feed the family and pay bills, because something has happened in their lives that is financially devastating.

First I would like to say AMEN SISTA to mouthy. I also think it is important to draw a line between giving God glory, and being able to pat yourslef on the back once in awhile. While God calls us to be humble, he did not call us to have broken spirits. We are instructed to love one another as we love ourselves. How can you love someone else fully, while having contempt for yourself. The witnesses put a high value on not exalting yourself, and in my experiences, especially with rank and file women, I see low lowwl loww self esteem. God created us, not because he had to, but because he wanted to, he gave us a paradise to live in, he gave Adam a companion because he didn't want him to be lonely, and when the rules got to hard to follow, he sent his son to die for us. He talks all the time about blessing us and the great love he has for us. Does this sound like a God who wants us to never feel good about ourselves and the things we do for others? I love God, and I consider all of the blessings I have to have come from him. I don't give him credit because I feel I don't deserve to be called a good person, but I do so because I love him. I know too that he rejoices when we have love in our hearts for others, he knows this is a choice we make, and I believe he is proud of us.
