but not according to me.. for the number of jws still going strong the ones here is but a handful, so mabye most of you are just pitiful whiners who should accept a little personal responsibility for your lives and quit trying so hard to blame someone or something.

and is the following reasonable?you have the right to do anything you want on this board ... it would be 'nice' if the name didn't say 'forum for jehovah's witnesses' though.
Obiwan ... yes, you are not pitiful.
Vivamus: Of course most people here have suffered pain ... I have too. All I'm saying is take some personal responsibilty and quit blaming someone or something. The sooner one puts bad things behind them the faster they will move on and the healing begins. Bringing up old topics of our painful pasts can only keep the old sores festering. Or is that what some people want?

William Penwell:
If you do take personal responibility for your lot in life and don't whine about the big bad old borg ... then good for you!!!! Around here you would be one of a few.
You mentioned a mythologic devil ... I didn't. Don't put words in my mouth.

first, simon and other mods, please let this thread run its course for a while.
if it gets too dicey, then i will move or lock it.
my goal is not to have a big flame war, but to expose an issue for what it is.
jst2laws:
You are excused also.
Can Gordy not speak for himself? (Now you've explain what he thinks it's pretty easy for him ... IMHO.

Do I understand your second paragraph?
Is questioning what Franz has already written a taboo? Do we want that?
Excuse me ... I thought this forum was about exposing falsehoods no matter what side of the coin.

does anyone have any info on how to go about doing this?
i don't own a home or anything much, nor any type of huge estate with precious valuables.
i have no idea of the cost or the process.
I meant to mention in my last post that the law in most countries allows wills to be written out by hand and your signature witnessed by two people. Most drug stores sell simple forms that all you do is fill in the blanks. There is a large space at the end to write in anything personal, plus you can add a codicil any time you want. That is because circumstances change all the time and it saves the bother of starting from scratch.
When it comes to leaving someone in charge of your childrens future, ALWAYS get a lawyer. The expense is small compared to the peace of mind you will have.

Years ago I was an executor of a will of a relative. She was thirty something and died unexpectedly of a heart ailment. She was divorced with minor children, without a great deal of worldly goods. This situation is not JW related but is an important issue. Without a will her ex would have had complete say about the childrens future. As a married couple they never did see eye to eye on child rearing and her final words did affect the ex's mindset in taking care of the kids.
While some people don't put a lot of stock in what someone may say in everyday conversation, they will often remember their final words.
scenario 1: if you could guarantee that you would not get caught would you steal a million dollars?.
scenario 2: if you could guarantee that you would not get caught would you steal a million dollars from the wtbs?.
scenario 3: if you could guarantee that you would not get caught would you steal a million dollars from a bank?.
No .. No .. No .. No ..
Been there ... sounds like a wise Granny ... look at the good it's done you.

i am going back to the kh.
i've been here 2 years and posted over a year trying to be supportive of everyone but some things are even too obvious for even me to not see.
Plmkrsy:
You and I have never conversed here but your choice of returning to the KH is a bit curious. You say it is the less of evils. If THIS is really your thinking ... give it some serious thought first. To class it as any 'evil' is worrying. No one should try to change your mind about a serious choice you've made ... but please do it for the right reasons.

i read your reply to 'not fitting' and i'm sorry to hear that only one person welcomed you to the board.
you have to forgive some of us because the board moves quickly and trying to read as many posts as possible and make replies is a chore within itself.
anyways, welcome and i think i speak for others.
no one:
I would welcome you here too but don't often feel very welcome myself. (violins play softly in the background)
(I PM'd you earlier today)
Take care ... northern girl

22there has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, the dog turns back to his own vomit, and, the sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire..
i remember when i was going over my baptismal questions the elder spouted off this scripture to me.. looking back at it i wonder how could he be such a moron!
I was 14 when I was baptized and for me it was too young. My sister was baptized at 14 and she was ready. It is a personal thing and no age is right for everyone.
In those days my mother thought it would be a protection for me of sorts. Of course that thinking is wrong, but it was a different era.
