Well...seems we have a little kissing war going on here! Do I have to separate you two! Go to neutral corners and come out mooching! I'll just stand in the middle and... err...mediate things, OK?Maverick

DA Update

as some of you know, i sent a letter to the elders of my last congregation disassociating myself from jehovah's witnesses.

i was originally going to wait, as my mother, who's 81, is very ill with cancer.

she's not expected to live very long.

Dear iiz2cool: My thoughts are with you. Seems like we have things happen to us in bunches. Keep your head down and your spirits up for this too will pass.

Telling you these patitudes reminds me of a little story. This young woman had a little boy. He was a darling child but very ugly! When she was in public people would stare and point. One day walking with her son, it got so bad that she just broke down, sat on the curbstone, put her face in her hands an sobbed. An old man walked by, looked at her little boy silently standing by her, and then at her sitting and crying. The gentleman stopped, turned to her and in a very soft and kind tone said, "Don't be sad little lady, things will get better. Tomorrow is a new day. And behind every dark cloud is a silver lining." And, as she started to look up he added, "And here's a quarter for the monkey!" Maverick

a regular at the local diner was sitting in his usual spot, all long in the face and sad, when his friend the waitress came over to take his order.

"why so mopey?

", she inquired.

Bendrr: Kissing is a great wax job, but you need to park that monster in the garage now and again my friend! Maverick

Walk Away or Fight?

i've posted in the past about some tension with some coworkers.

i'm sure some of it is my fault.

i've got a quick temper and the stress at work really brings it out in me.

Maverick

Try not to think about it too much, I know that is easy to say and hard to do, but try. And don't be packin'! This is not school, this is the real world, people die, not good. Been stabbed and shot, you don't want to go there, trust me! Keep your work-mates close, and watch your back. Let me know how Monday goes. This worries me bro. Maverick

JWs have no power of reasoning

by Brummie in

one thing that amazes me all the time is how jws have no power of reasoning!

i think back at how i used to reason doubts through as a jw and i could kick myself.

a while ago i talked to a jw lady from my old congregation and i showed her a lot of the errors, organ transplants/bethsarim/dates/ etc, her reply was this: " well i know 2 jw regular pioneer sisters who live in france and if this wasnt the truth they would have left, so therefore it must be the truth"....huh?

Maverick

It's a locked loop mental gymnastics. As long as they want to believe, they will find a way to make it work! Maverick
