just wanted to say i'm so sorry for not welcoming all the new ones, not responding yet to all the wonderful replies to my posts, not saying happy birthday to everyone, and not being a good friend to those in need.
i've been sick, as well as preoccupied.
there's a major rant building up in me....which i will append to this post; aren't you all lucky.. i feel like such a frigging loser.. let me just say: it's no one's fault that i got sick and had to start my life over, esp.
Beryl,
I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. It sounds like the co-worker and the boss are both jealous.The only suggestion I can give is don't listen to that co-worker! Take your power back dear. I also agree that you should keep notes. I hope you are feeling better soon, and that things go better for you at work.
Love, Prudence

what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?
we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.
for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.
An elder conducting the wt said ,"If you don't comment you might as well just stay home."
But, he wouldn't call on a lot of people that raised their hands for just about every question. So, I guess they should have not gone.
okay, so i got annoyed yesterday when someone told me i looked like debra winger.
i find her most unfeminine and unattractive.
but it doesn't piss me off half as much as when i'm told i look like liza minelli.
Hi Beryl,
I've been told I look like Meryl Streep, only better looking.I had an elder that I knew for years, say five years ago"you still look like Meryl Streep". He has a twin brother so I figure he must know something.I've seen Meryl on interviews and think, that's my mannerism she just used. But, I didn't think I looked so much like her five years ago either. Maybe a little. She is one of my favorite actresses so I don't mind.

Cheers, caspian!

many thanks go to the following who made this possible:.
nosferatu for originally acquiring the recording and uploading it for everyone to hear.. hamas for hosting it so that even more people could listen to it;.
and finally to euphemism and odrade for their help in transcribing the entire talk with me.. without further ado, here is the transcript for the talk beware of the voice of strangers:.
Scully, Nosferatu, Hamas, Euphemism, Odarade thanks for your team work in putting this together.
As I was reading this, I just kept hearing - close your mind , close your mind or die. Hate, hate, hate everyone
who isn't a jw. I'm so glad I will never have to go to another meeting or convention ever again!
Prudence
so that is a major relief.
still means they don't know what the problem is, but cancer was one of my worst fears.. tomorrow (wednesday, august 27th) is the arbitration in that stupid lawsuit and it will determine the next 20 years of our lives.
mars, the new moon, my energies are pretty scattered right now and i am just trying to get thru it an hour at a time.. thank you for all the support you have given me thus far and what you will continue to give.
Rayvn,
Super!

thanks to little toe's piquing my interest on this subject, i hafta ask it...... .
has anyone here had any personal spiritual experiences and is anyone here brave enough to describe/relate any personal spiritual experiences they've had, whether pre-borg, during being borganized or post-borg?
to be more specific, have you ever seen any angels or spirit creatures, been made aware of their presence in any way, interacted with or communicated with them, or had dream/visions...etc?
Frannie,
No, not after that, I think he got the message if you know what I mean and it sounds like you do.I would love to talk to him about it, but he passed away of natural causes years ago. I was still in the collective. It was so nice to be able to talk about my uncle again and have someone understand. I was told by my family that it was Jesus, and now after talking to you it does sounds like it was Him. This gives me something to think about again that's for sure. Thanks for the post.
Much Love, Prudence
