  Kingdom Hall talk about 9/11

  2. scandals

  i was listening to a talk on www.freeminds.org where this circuit overseer was discussing the impact that the events in n.y.c.

  had on the brothers at bethel.

  the major reason it was on the site was different than this point but i found this appalling enough for it to stand out in my mind.. it amazed me that this person, in discussing what happened, constantly encouraged the listeners to imagine the effects that the "brothers in bethel" must have felt to have to see such horrific events.

  New Easter Hymn... "Pharoah, let my people go!!!"

  i went down to a church around the corner for an easter egg hunt, this morning, with the kids.

  i had never been to any other church before, but it was great fun for the kids.

  before they had the hunt, there was a puppet show and some songs were sung.. i was impressed with the upbeat, positive atmosphere of everybody there.

  2. friends

  after reading francois' last post, it reminded me of how easy it is for jw's to ignore common sense.

  what, to you, is the most ridiculous justification that they have used to refute you exposing their religion as possibly not being the truth?.

  for myself, when i have discussed with them the greatest scandals that have come up lately, (u.n., paedophiles, etc.

  By the way, it was my birthday yesterday.... April 8th, 1969

  it's weird that, 11 years after getting df'd,and 8 years after vowing to never go back, i still kind of felt guilty toasting my birthday with my friends.

  i am a hell of a lot closer, though, to feeling no shame at all, and a lot of you are to be credited with my freedom......... .

  Your most powerful spiritual saying is?????

  2. friends

  we all go through times of stress and sad times.

  what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?

  you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .

  i previously existed as anti-absolutism but had to change my name because of a screw up of my computer.
