hi everyone, it's good to be back.
last thursday, as i lay on the couch stuffed full of turkey, i had the sudden idea for a discussion, and please forgive me if this has been asked before.. when my brother came back from college and we began to clean the apartment for the impending arrival of the rest of the family for thanksgiving dinner (my mom was of course not calling it that), he asked her why she had so many stacks of watchtower magazines everywhere.
they were all organized by date in zip lock bags, not including her bound volumes and study books.
If Jesus was directing the "faithful slave," than why would he waste time telling them things that he knows would be proven false in three years?
> Loved that statement.
I doubt that Jesus would ever approve of a publishing company. "You received free, give free" was his motto.
IF Jesus were alive, I picture him going straight to the WTBS and clearing out the place.
learning to find friends as an ex-jw.
i wrote this essay because of what i have observed and experienced in the way of disappointment and reward in the relationships and freinds i have made online.
i can relate to how you some x-jws feel about leaving online discussion boards.
Great article Jim!
I totally agree with what you have written...you will have a pm!
i just received an email that read:.
kingdom melody n. 54 sang by celine dion and george benson.
follow together with your sing book... it's beautiful!!!!.
How did George Benson rope her into this?
Actually...when I was an active JW....I loved singing at the KH....I had an appitude for music ...
Everybody loved my singing at all the KH"s I was at...I was called the "songbird"...
Maybe when I was there, the singing gave me a meaning, since I loved music so much...(since I was stripped of my musical scholarships while being a JW to be "spiritual")
Actually, a lot of those songs were VERY difficult and only understood by those with musical direction could sing them well..(some never should have been songs they were horrible to sing even if you were a gifted musician)

today is my one year aniversary on jwd.
what a difference a year can make.
this time last year i was just mustering the courage to type jehovah into a search engine and view the results (and this after being away from the hall for 2 years.
Congrats
i got a phone call from a person that i gave my phone # to.
and this person said that gays are not welcome here and this is not what this board was really about.
i told them that this is only one part of the crap that the wts did to people and that we are people too.
(((Hambeak)))
You are welcome here!!! You are a kind, thoughtful person. End of story.
Anybody who would call you or pm you with hateful words are CRAZY!!! They haven't learned what this board is all about: spiritual healing
Hope you have a great day

a woman, renewing her driver's license at the county clerk's office was asked by the woman recorder to state her occupation.. .

Sending you many hugs....
I only dream of unconditional love with my family too...
