I'm not so sure that those other churches mentioned through out this thread "walk the talk" any better than most if one has to be secretive about particular church doctrine...doesn't make sense to me. Whom or What is there to be fearful of? Sounds like the same mumble-jumble of organized "spirituality", oops - I mean religion.
Whatever happened to the great Master's having taught that The Kingdom is Within...christ/jesus didn't have anything over Buddha or a myriad of other hero figures discussed through out Mythology.
Just my ramblings early...
I always love the music at church gatherings. Heck, next Sunday hubby and I go to my surrogate family's church as our way of saying "I love you" before moving. No longer intimidated by their interpetations of what is good/bad...what GOD wants for me, do da, do da...people remain the most interesting subject matter. And I'm happy we all have choices. Enjoy the adventure of exploration.
Love,
granny

This made me laugh :)
by betweenworlds inthis was a cartoon i saw in the sunday paper today.
it's a strip called "non sequitur" done by wiley miller.
the strip is very long so it doesn't ever all fit in the scan.

Being JW did not make me a better person...
by Granny Linda inno, it wasn't that group of people who showed me what life is about.
hell, their so busy preparing to die that it seems life eludes them.
it was by becoming an active participant in my own adventure.

No, it wasn't that group of people who showed me what life is about. Hell, their so busy preparing to die that it seems life eludes them. It was by becoming an active participant in my own adventure. Now I do know that any of us are shaped and molded by the community around us, but in the end we alone are responsible for the quality of our life. I find humor in that paradox...maybe even more like irony.
Here we have one of the most precious gifts...and yet we found ourselves at death's door. Or at least that is my story. How can someone raised to believe everything around them is wicked and vile find the beauty? Well, they don't - my opinion.
So, while my husband and I continue moving forward with our soon to be relocating out of state, I saw so clearly just how JW's and other's of their ilk don't make better people out of us...we do. Not saying that we weren't good and decent before that experience, it's just that happiness breeds like and brings with it an element of Magik that I love. And all that boils down to is learning how to work with the energies that surround us. Removing my self from the negative as in JW allowed me to become the person I was always meant to be.
Thank you Goddesses and godsand ALL those wonderfully delightful fellow (sometimes) insane workers of goodness that helped me along my journey. Thanks for being here for me, ya'll.
Granny, of the "I'm tired" class.

Snoozy.....OMG, it's too funny in a pathetic sort of way. Another irony of life, eh.
Well you know I'm no lover of JWism. All I can do is sit here and shake my head at the continual display of hyprocisy those people are famous for. While you may not be surprised over such unloving inattention to one of their own...what a cruel attitude to take towards a 'believer.' But then again, everyone apparently made their decision on what to believe - or in your case; what not to believe.
My thoughts are with you often, Missy.

i figured it is time to start my first official thread and introduce myself.. first i would like to thank simon for providing this forum.
i have enjoyed it immensely for the past year or so and found it both thought provoking, and humerous.. the problem i have, is trying to get my wife of 18 years to visit here.
