by Eppie inhey everyone,.
i have a question: i am happily faded but i recently got the desire to talk to an elder of my old congregation.

What is your worst fear?
by Scully ina recent death in my family triggered my worst fear - as irrational as it may sound - into a very real possibility.. let me explain: as a global culture, we simply accept that when someone dies, those who care about them will want to gather and offer a meaningful tribute to the person and those who survive them.
with regard to my recently deceased family member - her own children decided against holding a memorial service for her surviving family, which included two children and their respective spouses, eight grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.
yes, we are spread out over 2000 miles.

JOE MILLIONAIRE - NOT!!
by Mary in.
okay for those of us that actually watched the final episode last night (and are willing to admit it): what would you have done if you were the girl and he told you he had "chosen" you.......but then you found out that he lied and didn't have any $$$......would you still wanna see him?.
and guys, would you ever consider trying something like this?.

Just How Dysfunctional Are We?
by Englishman ini've noted that one of our ex-members believes that the vast majority of posters to this site are, in his opinion, worthy of the label of being "dysfunctional".. for what it's worth, i believe that some persons, especially those who have exited the witnesses fairly recently, may well be a little naive and probably somewhat immature also.
from my own observations i have seen how maturation virtually ceases when anyone becomes overly committed to a belief system.
once someone leaves that belief system, then their maturation continues afresh and goes into over-drive as the person strives to "catch up" and eventually feel comfortable in relatively normal society.. so no, i don't think that many of us are dysfunctional at all.

Virgin Mary or verging on the ridiculous?
by Abaddon invandals have torn down a fence post in australia's largest city, sydney, which devoted catholics had begun to flock to because they believed it projected an image of the virgin mary.
this combination picture shows a woman reaching to touch the fence post (image on right).
the picture on the left was deliberately shot out of focus to show how it resembles the virgin mary from a distance.
