  when you were a good active jw, would you have considered marrying a non jw or was this completely out of the question..

  I did and I knew all the scriptures that said, I shouldn't. We lasted almost 44 years until death stepped in. I never had any problems marrying a non-witness.

  so i laid 1500 sf of sod thursday (approx 2,000 #), and unloaded 1500 # of sand yesterday, and did a whole lot of roto-tilling and raking and dog-turd scooping, not to mention the idiot "helpers" at home depot.. anyway, my poor old body (54 years old) foolishly listened to my 18-year old brain and said (like that little devil on the shoulder): "sure, you can do it, you can do it!!!".

  lol.

  pain is life, and life is pain.

  Count-Down 9: The Meaning of Life

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can recall a number of jw articles talking about the meaning of life - of course that meant doing something the watchtower said would make you happy, like selling magazines door to door .

  i love what my oldest son once said: "i don't look for the meaning of life ... rather ... i create my own meaning.

  " that is my son.

  Your son hit the nail on the head!!!! We must also learn to extract the positive out of our negative experiences.

  some of you are quite old with most of your life behind you.

  make the best use of what's left.

  forget the years that were stolen from you and wasted by the tower.

  All people, whether ex-witnesses or not should make it a practice to extract the positive out of negative experiences. Our car batteries have a negative and a positive posts and it gets us to our destination.

  Bad day at the Office ... This Dr. went nuts on the wrong testicle.

  vet claims docs removed wrong testicle .

  los angeles - an air force veteran filed a federal claim after undergoing an operation at a veterans administration hospital in which a healthy testicle was removed instead of a potentially cancerous one.

  benjamin houghton, 47, was to have had his left testicle removed on june 14 at the west los angeles va medical center because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells.

  Over a year ago, this man in New York was to have his left leg amputated, before surgery, he reminded the doctor to make sure to take the right leg off . Low and behold the surgeon took off his RIGHT leg !!!!!!
  In yesterday's news, this women had gone through chemotherapy for cancer and come to find out she didn't have cancer. She is suing the doctor. This doctor had retired two years ago.

  i have always wondered what happened to "the truth" or jehovah's true followers from the time at the end of the bible until ct russsell and jf rutherford came on the scene?
