  But I believe God is much bigger than any religion on this earth who claims Him as their own.

  Absolutely!

  Black Sheep

  so loving are jehovah's peoples, not!

  it hurts worse i know when it comes from family the first people you would expect to show you love.

  i wish i could say something to help the hurt and i wish that time would heal but in this arena of spiritual warfare they just make themselves look mean and hateful.. i got to where i made sure i had something else fun planned to do on these occasions and that really helped me take my mind off the rejection i got from my jw family.

  Ok, so I'm no longer a black sheep.

  I don't know if I was included because they really need my help or if they actually felt bad that they excluded me. I was asked for assistance with the Wedding and will be included in on the next family meeting.

  What's the most ridiculous thing you were ever counselled on?

  by micheal in

  one of the cornerstones of jw's is counsel.

  they just love to give counsel and many times they will literally make things up just for the sake of counsel.

  i was once counselled for joking around too much.

  also, he ordered us to preach to the people and to give a thorough witness that this is the one decreed by god to be judge of the living and the dead.

  43 to him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone putting faith in him gets forgiveness of sins through his name.

  " acts 10 nwthow could anyone seriously believe that when peter stated the above words, he had anything remotely like the impressive work of distributing a 4 page color tract to all corners of the earth?

  Two teenagers came by my house yesterday too. I just told them I already got the message/tract from my family who are witnesses. I keep thinking I should have talked to them. But I don't really know what I would have said either. They seem to come through this neighborhood often. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've seem them since May of this year.

  How Clean is your House?

  how clean is your house?.

  i just love this show.. kim and aggie run into some pretty disturbing homes i must admit.

  i am certainly not on the list of the most disgusting homes but, dont have the most organized house on the street..... i like cleanliness in all parts of my home( cat litter empted, dishes cleaned, bathroom area very sanitary, floors cleaned, carpets vacuumed, garbage emptied if full, candles burning, the furniture and carpet deodorized daily, the dog has to be bathed regular, ash trays dumped and cleaned every time i finish smoking in the back room, and finally, the supper dishes must be done before i go to bed... i could not give two sh*ts if the bed did not get made properly, the kids room has dirty laundry on it or all their junk, they dont have their beds made every day, the computer desk has bills/papers lying on it, the cats/dogs food runs out of dish, there is a cob web up in the corner of the living room, ( thats a great decoration for this time of the year anyways...lol) the wires are showing from the t.v and dvd player, there are a few pairs of shoes at the door at not put away on the shoe rack, there is a coat on the back of a chair instead of hung up, and the pillows and blankets are scattered all over the couch for comfort (at night only, not during the day unless it is the weekend).

  I wish I was a neat freak, I'm trying. My fiance is very paranoid about germs. It used to drive me CRAZY. That is until he got sick a couple months ago. He has a suppressed immune system. Now it still drives me a little crazy but I hold my tongue and try hard to keep thing cleaner. I've always kept the Kitchen, bathroom and living room clean. Now I go through the house on a daily basis with disinfectant. But we do have some clutter in the office and in part of the living room. We moved in back in May and are still doing some home repairs. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

  I do remember at least one other KN Campaign in my run w/ the witnesses. Someone said 1996 I think. But wasn't there one sometime between 1990 and 1994. Those were the years I was technically active in field service. It's amazing to me now that I can see so clearly now the truths behind all the WT'a actions. It's such an obvious attempt to keep the people they have in their ranks, scare the ones who've drifted off back, and if they get a few more converts then that's even better. It seems like they had another KN tract they were all hyped up about within the last 6 years as well. It may not have been the same title but I'm sure it was meant to hype the same hysteria.

  I always liked Spiderman . . . I absolutely loved it on the big screen, both times. I'm looking forward to three as well. I'm no a big fan of Kristen Dunst, whatever the hell her name is. I heard speculation that she'll be killed off in three. Of course I don't want her dead in real life but I hope she gets wacked in spide3.

  The dubs were in my neck of the woods this morning. I was outside watering the lawn watching them. They seemed to be hitting the doors really fast, just knocking and leaving the tract. They finished the street so quickly. A young teenage? pair, boy and girl came around the corner and tried to talk to me. My house sits on a corner. She was walking along the street on her cell phone. Then after they turned the corner she hung up and tried to give me the tract. She called me and said something like . . . Good Morning, we have an "Important Message for you and your family." I just yelled out Thank you but I already got it from my family. She didn't hear me or understand me so I repeated my self and added my family are witnesses. Nobody in my family bothered to give me a tract. Anyways, the dubs seemed to be crawling all over our neighborhood today. I was at my parents house this afternoon and my little eight-yr-old niece mentioned that they were all over their neighborhood too today. Then she said and I quote: "It was so embarrassing we should have been out on field service today too," 8 yrs Old! God the freaking brain-washing! This niece I do have hope for though. She is a very logical person. A couple years ago she asked me about Noah and how he could have gotten every animal on the ark. She loves animals and is always watching nature shows and animal planet, which I am sure made her think and ask me this question.
