witness find it silly that catholics have statues or a crucifix, and that some will look at these while talking to jesus in prayer.. the bottom line is, althought you're a christian, you can't even pray to jesus or even say thank-you for anything to jesus.. imagine if an apostle would still be alive today, and although he talked to jesus when he was on earth, and all of a sudden after jesus's death, that apostle wouldn't be allowed to even talk to him in prayer, basically shunning him for the last 2000 years.. when jesus died 2000 years ago, did the apostles just shun him from that day like the jw's want us to do, by only praying jehovah?.
I try to come here a few times a week to see if there is any "new light". I guess my biggest fear is WTBTS is going to offer "koolaid" to my family; down to things i can use to gently increase their thoughts of how wrong everything is.
But I am confused with this one; they no longer say "in Jesus name we pray....." Prayers are only directly to "God"?
some thing just occurred to me.
i live in a city 500+ miles from my home town.
in a large metropolitan area.
I live in an area we had rather work door to door when i was growing up. Mostly rural country with an occassional group of houses. I have been here 14 years and have only seen them about 6 times.
"The time is drawing near."
i realize that randy watters is not the type of person to want to worry others, especially when it come to his own health.
and i also realize that randy might want to kick me in the backsides for posting this little message.
thats ok, i'll even buy him a new set of boots to kick me with, but for right now if we could take a few moments to send our prayers, thoughts, and perhaps ecards for randy's swift recovery, then i know that randy would certainly appreciate it .dear friends of randy, due to some complications from a pain medication randy was using during an attack of his crohn's disease last week, he became seriously dehydrated and was hospitalized this past thursday, april 13th.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
this man walks into a pet shop (worldly man) and sees a parrot he likes.
so he takes it.. on monday he was sat there, reading the paper, having breakfast when the parrot talks.
"have you done your book study" and it keeps repeating it.
cute
i was on the phone speaking with verne thoren, presiding overseer of the willow springs, nc congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
he tells me he knows of my possesssion of the flock book.
he knows of my involvement on this site.
My thoughts are with you Richie.
read my profile to learn a little about me.
i would love to hear from those whom have experienced similar backgrounds as myself.
as i said, read my profile and then get back with me.
Welcome to the board. You will find a lot of suppor there.
missed you yesterday.
i had my garden shoes on and was shoveling away.
i left a little spot just for you.
I guess i'm not to good at giving directions - maybe next year.
At least we both had a beer.

Missed you yesterday. I had my garden shoes on and was shoveling away. I left a little spot just for you. : )
I tipped my beer to you and wished you a wonderful day.
tell us of some funny things that other people told you either recently or in the distant past.
i have the following quotes: .
how someone described his father in law to me: "he has a little moustache like charlie chaplin and a big head like the frankenstein monster.
We were driving down the road with a few friends, my husband ran over some of the reflectors dividing the highway. One of the wives said 'I never understood why they put those things in the road, I am sure they mess up tires or something on our cars when we run over them. They probably do it so that we have to have our cars fixed more". No one said anything for a movement then her husband said 'They are there so that when blind people are headed into oncoming traffic they know to pull the wheel back to the right a little so that they don't have a head-on collision.' We waited for her response… “oh OK that explains it” and goes back to our previous conversation.
I guess that is why he responded to JamesThomas the way that he did in the thread "Dear JamesThomas".
Guess he is trying to hide his true identity.
