The suspense is killing me - smiddy
How do you think I feel...lol it is extremely hard to keep your mouth shut when so many well-meaning people would just love an update unfortunately at this point in time embertoecho has chosen to remain silent, reason, mainly family and personal.
As we all know when some family are still "in" things that may or may not affect them just can not be posted.
At this time anyway.
I am sure most here understand her position as we all at some point needed the same space to allow time to pass.
All can rest assure when umbby is ready to tell all.
I guarantee you .....you will not shut her up!!

Laugh-out-Loud BS from Insight Book

how would it be possible in 1,000 years to resurrect and educate the billions now in the grave?.

nevertheless, an illustration reveals what a simple, practical thing jehovah has in mind for mankind.

not to prophesy, but merely for the purpose of illustration, let us assume that those who compose the great crowd of righteous persons who come out of the great tribulation on this system of things alive (re 7:9, 14) number about 6,000,000 (about 1/1000 of earths present population).

With God, nothing is impossible
It's impossible for god to raise people from the dead looking exactly the same way as when they were alive!!.
God cannot reproduce the exact same cells once they have died.
This is what I was taught as a jw.
When I was told this as a child I thought to myself, hmmm.....god has limitations.
Also learnt With God, nothing is impossible

excuse me, where can I technicolor yarn!!

THE OAF and the ONE-LEGGED MAN
by Terry in
1. jw
2. experiences
the oaf and the one-legged man.

spatters of rain dribbled into unsettled silence.. the man with the prosthetic leg dropped the umbrella from his shoulder and shook it onto the sidewalk in front of the bookstore.

his scooter chair roosted nearby like a guide dog for a blind man.. steadying himself, he exchanged tattered raingear for his cane and wobbled uneasily toward the door handle.a tall man with a van dyke beard held the door open for him with a neighborly grin.. "you get caught in this downpour on that thing?

This employee is late middle age with a playful appreciation for regular customers such as Dub.
Oddly, few of the other employees welcome the sight of Dub for reasons beyond his reckoning

Another well-written piece really enjoyed it.

Have a feeling the "employee" is you.:)

" the girl was from a snobby family, and her last name actually was"rich," terry rich.

it was terry rich and only terry rich.why?

you know what a straw poll is?".

I will read your story next time online.
Um, uhhh, okay. Say what?

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Oh man, that just cracked me up lucky I didn't have a coffee in my hand!
I must have missed this story another well-presented piece.
As a shy youth, you tactfully controlled the entire phone conversation. That takes balls!
The ONLY phone conversation with a girl (jw) for me was asking her out to the movies in a group. She excitingly asks "which movie?!"
Followed immediately by a booming "NO GIRL YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!"
In the background.
welcome to my world :)

WORDS MY FATHER NEVER SPOKE
by Terry in
1. jw
2. friends
words my father never spoke.

"the last time i saw wes he was standing over your baby bed reciting something from--oh, i don't know--shakespeare or the old testament.

then, he leaned down to kiss you instead of picking you up.
MightyV8

Another fantastic piece of writing.
again I was there with you like i went back in time
An excellent writer whom i know quoted this once:
a piece of writing should sound like somebody is standing there in front of you telling you right out of thin air--straight from the heart.
Well, you certainly achieved that. :)
I was 55 years old when I final realised the three words I have NEVER heard from my parents:
"I Love You"

1. jw
2. experiences
happily never after.

(remembrance from my childhood).

hers was a primal scream, cutting me with an icy blade of accusation..
MightyV8

Terry what can i say...
I was right there behind you as a little boy following you as you ran through the house

I dashed quickly through our hallway and out the screen door and jumped over the front porch onto the driveway adjacent to the Robert's house.
Your gift to paint a clear vivid picture in the readers mind is amazing!
thank you for sharing.:)
