i just got this thought that we're like a huge soap opera to god and other spiritual beings.
if the almighty makes it all perfect and joyful, then how the heck will he/they get entertained?!.
in other words, the almighty powers that be aren't interested in the least bit in making things happy and perfect for all because we're like a huge spectacle for them to watch for ever and ever.. alright, there goes my sanity for today.. dy

i was a catholic all my life then in my early 30s i got baptized as a jw.
a friend of mine when in her 20s became a dub.
she always talked to me about the borg and troof and i listened.
Born and raised into it. My parents converted a few years before I was born, first one, then later the other, so my brothers and sisters could remember not being JW's.
this was too good to leave on the bush/gay marriage thread so i'm starting a new topic on it: .
the following was sent to me recently: .
as certain politicians work diligently to prevent marriage between two people of the same sex, others of us have been busy drafting a constitutional amendment codifying all marriages entirely on biblical principles.. after all, god wouldn't want us to "pick and choose" which of the scriptures we elevate to civil law and which we choose to ignore:.
ThiChi,
As far as I understand it, the MagnaCarta is a Brittish document, and we politely asked them to leave in 1776. :-) As for our own nation's fathers, many of them were deists. I don't think the deists' views on religion would sit well with the current neocon dittoheads.
with me and that perhaps i should be viewed as "bad association".
funny thing, the same elder bastard called me at work to say how much he missed my "smiling face.
" my elder friend said," i said to myself, i'd rather associate with him anyday, even if you think he's bad association----than you!
If you live in the south, wait till the elder is gone on a vacation or better yet to the convention. Then lovingly plant Kudzu all over his yard.
ok,,,,, i admit it..... i was not the perfect .
there was nooooooo way i would have went to the elders while still living in my father's home..... he would have beat me unmercifully, not to mention the emotional abuse of having failed him, the reproach and embarrassement i caused etc.
i was ready to just die at armeggedon , than to confess my sins to the elders.
Oh yeah, I forgot. I was privately reproved one other time when I was a kid.. 16 I think it was. I went out a couple of times with a "worldy" girl. I think they took mic's away from me for awhile.
I really learned my lesson from that admonishment of Jehovah. After that I had a "JW" girlfriend, all cutesy trips to the gatherings every couple of weeks or so as a smokescreen so i could go out with whoever I wanted to in the real world. I learned valuable lessons for life, in the JW's, yessiree. :)
Gita of the Dontgetcaught Class
in my ongoing series of new kingdom melodies: .
song 312: jah knows i'm miserable now.
i was happy in the haze of my bethel days.
Handsome Elder
All the seats are crammed with things
Eager to be nailed
I know what mics are for
And I'd like to help my self
You say "Out of Time"
But I sense something more
And I would like to give you
What I think you're asking for
you handsome elder
Oh, you handsome elder
Let me get start to gag
on your leather book bag
and let me get your tool
in the old second school
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
But you deserve it
You deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
A sheep in the fold
Is worth two in the field
I think I can give you a spiritual meal
Oh, you handsome elder
Oh, let me start to gag
on your leather book bag
and let me see your tool
in the old second school
I say, I say, I say
I crack the whip
And you skip
but you deserve it
you deserve it, deserve it, deserve it
And when we'ere in the Literature room
Who will council whom?
when when we're in the Literature room
Who will council whom?
you handsome elder.
Oh let me start to gag
on your leather book bag
and let me see your tool
in the old second school
I say, I say, I say
There's more to life then placing books
But not much more
Oh, there's more to life then placing books
But not much more, not much more
Oh you handsome elder
Oh you handsome elder

After prayerful and heartfelt ruminations, I have decided to take up your offer of coming back. May Jah bless this board, and other boards, sticks, twigs, beams and posts around the world.
Gita
after two months of terribly abusive emails from my mother telling me that i "am not capable of appreciating true love" and her weird delusions that i have no friends and my life is a mess, i finally cut her off.
i blocked her email address, and i told her to stop contacting me.
yes, the jehovah?s witnesses.
that is sad on more levels then I would care to mention. I hope that bridge get's unburned at some point, and both of you can have some kind of relationship. Nothing is permanent, one way or another.

having been in the borg my entire life (now over 40), i never got a good answer to why the memorial could not be "celebrated" in the afternoon.
remember, the jewish "day" runs from sunset to sunset.
and 2 out of every 7 years, nisan 14 falls on a friday or saturday.
so they will have full aural powers from the moon deity.
