  Ever have a day...

  my whole week has been very stressful...i am working on my resume and essay to get a placement for student teaching...because numbers of student teachers are so high, and numbers of teachers willing to accept us are so low, well pressure is on to impress.

  we've been lectured for the last two months that if you don't strike on the formula they want, your gone.

  if you have one grammatical error, you're gone.

  my dear joannadandy,

  first let me say that i have enjoyed reading your posts. i love your humor and good common sense.

  i am sorry for this past stressful week you've been through. sometimes it just goes like that - it always rains when it pours, but you will get through it.

  finally, i am so so sorry for the loss of your cat. it is so amazing to me that these little loving creatures can become so special to us, we truly truly love them, and they love us back. they just get right inside our hearts. so, i guess you may have read about my squeak from your comments.....so you know that i understand exactly what you are feeling. my heart goes out to you.

  my best to you with love, nowisee

  If your conscience is troubling you - just deaden it.

  the subject matter is a quote from by father-in-law, a staunch.

  knows-no-better-all-his-life-a-jw, which although said with a touch of humour, contains a measure of credibility as to how jw's can justify a lot of their actions.

  they have no conscience, or, if they do, they 'deaden' or numb it, to allow them to continue on their course.. just call me holey_cheeses.

  I need help in writing a letter to disassociate myself

  by kelpie in

  where do i start??.

  i recieved a letter from mum in the mail yesterday telling me that the door will always be open etc etc but she has to put jehovah first.

  she would do anything for me but nothing that would ruin her relationship with jehovah.. of course i broke down and started crying.

  reading the above just gave me another thought.....

  i think writing the letter and saying everything you have to say would be really good and healthy for you. then.....why not post it here? let us all see it and pronounce your da official. what are good friends for?

  you can always send it at a time of your choosing and when timing is absolutely right. but why make it harder on yourself than you need to?

  my best wishes, nowisee

  tKingdom Melodies I remember/liked.

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok bucking the trend here, but there was some kms i liked, alot of stick has been given to "gods loyal love"....well i liked that one.

  nice melody.. i think song 4 "gods promise of a paradise" too.

  and song number 15 "life without end at last".....remember this was in the brown book....still like that one, especially at conventions, always guaranteed to be on the sunday programme, still get teary eyed at that one.. what i want to know is what happened to "keep your eyes on the prize"....i can remember writing those words out on a sheet and hanging it in my room, surely the classic jw kingdom melody of all time...guaranteed at conventions circa 70's/80/s......still miss it, and hum it even now occasionaly.

  is that because of me or you??

  Princess Diana.....remember??!!

  by ScoobySnax in

  fluffy i know.

  but tonight i was thinking it must be almost 6 years since diana was killed in that car crash in paris, and i was thinking about the outpouring of grief that happened not just here, but around the world.

  i never was one of the ones that went to london on the day of her funeral as at the time i was flying back from a holiday in turkey, but i remember it appearing in newspapers out there and people of different nationalities coming up to me and expressing their condolences, particulary this french bloke hugging me whilst i was sitting around the pool a couple of days after the crash!.

  i think practically everything said above is true to some degree. she was a complicated person, yes manipulative - probably to survive - she just wanted to be happy i think, and don't think she knew the way. she was such a child when she married, and i believe had no idea what she was getting into.

  it was just a sad case.

  that being said, well in a way i miss her, she was such eye-candy, even for women! you just couldn't take your eyes off of her. in a way (hope this doesn't sound strange) it was nice that she died young as that is how she will always be remembered - like marilyn, like jean (harlow), like elvis (well i know he was out of shape but he was still only 42), like john lennon....and so many others - like jfk - you tend to remember them in their primes.

  wow, this is the best message board ever!

  i really admire all you guys for realising the real truth about jehovah's witnesses.

  i have never been a witness, but i had a serious relationship with one that ended in heart break.
