Why would God...
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel input us on this planet...giving us life with all its beauty.
flowers, children, relationships, clouds, trees, kittens...then.
tell us we are imperfect human beings and that there are invisible evil forces and demonic influences that are much greater and stronger than we are trying to sway us in the wrong direction.

Purpose...What is it
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel inafter losing my father-in-law last week, who is not a jw, but was a loving, kind and generous man, i find myself pondering that age old question about the purpose of life.
leaving the jw organization after 15 years, i am completely turned off to religion itself.
i am not even sure about the bible anymore.

a By the love they have among themselves
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel ini dont know the hebrew word for fake love....but this is the love that i have seen over and over again.. last year my nephew married a sister from our hall.
this young man is a good hearted person and saved himself for marraige.
looking back now in hindsight, i dont think this sister was a virgin but i think she pretended as though she was one.

by Crooked Lumpy Vessel incan a person be disfellowshipped and not know about it?
me and my husband have been shunned the moment we stopped attending meetings.
no one has ever called and only a few have come by over the last 2 years.

JW Mentality
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel ini recently received a visit from a sister who is moving out of the area.
she was telling me how she would live in her new place on the weekends and then stay here locally in an apartment (mon - fri) while she and her husband finish out their last year before retirement.
what made the conversation so mental was she was explaining this to me in terms of how she would be attending her meetings.

Buying a new Home...I hope...dream
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel inme and hubby have been looking at some model homes and they were so beautiful...i am completely sold.
we have built over 150,000 in equity in the last 3 years, so it looks like my dream home might be a reality.
this is something i would never have thought of in my earlier jw days.

Dinosaurs...What are your thoughts?
by Crooked Lumpy Vessel inthe "why do animals die" thread got me thinking about the dinosaurs.
why would god create a species of animals and then completely destroy them or allow them to be destroyed.
would he do that to humans too?.
