  Heaven, where you are?

  so in the last couple of months we lost robin williams and joan rivers and i have heard something a lot.

  i bet they are loving the comedy shows in heaven, or they are now performing with no pain and so on.

  so is this the image christians have of heaven, that what you are on earth is what you will be doing in heaven?

  Sunny : that was the point that really got me thinking. It is easy not to really value life if you think it is just a pit stop to something better. That philosophy starts coloring everything you do.

  If god was so loving (and existed)and this is just a pit stop, why did he build in this need for us to fight to live? We should be able to just accept death because something better is around the corner.

  It just does'nt make sense to me anymore.

  I really never stopped to think what people were actually saying when I heard statements like that. They are saying you are better off dead.

  My mom makes statements like that about my nonJW sisters.

  JWfacts is right: she says it out of love and disrepair. She thinks that will be the only way we will all be together in paradise.

  I am surprised there are not more "mercy" killings.

  The last time my mom made a statement like that , I excused myself and hung up. I dont have the energy to try to explain to her how messed up and illogical that line of thought is.

  Translating JWFacts to Spanish... Update?

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.

  given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.

  i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

  ...as we were enjoying our weekly sunday "no meetings margaritas.. my friend and i have been meeting for lunch and margaritas ( okay mostly margaritas, we throw lunch in so we dont feel like alcoholics lol ??).

  instead of going to meetings.. ( we discovered we could have lunch*margaritas* without the meeting first.).

  my jw lady friend still goes out "in service" and stays in touch with her "service buddies" who also know me.. so she was telling me that they asked about me and mentioned that they would like to stop by to see me.

  Quelly: lol. We are regulars there so the staff knows to get those margaritas out there asap.

  My friend does not like to wait. One time we had a new waitress who actually gave us water before the margaritas...the horror!! Lol

  to my grieving sister about the death of her only son almost 2 year ago.

  he was 25.. we were having lunch when she repeated those words of"wisdom" from one of her jw in-laws.

  this is a hard month for her.

  I know my sister still grieves deeply. I wish I could give her real comfort instead of false hope I. I think right now the only thing keeping her going is the reserrection hope.

  They sold their house and are changing congregations since they are moving so they can start fresh without so many reminders.

  My heart hurts for her. She loves completely heart and soul and her children were her life. He was her first born. She was so close to both of her kids.

  It kills me to see her having to live without her son.

  Millie: thanks. I am so glad I met her. She always tells me how much my company means to her. We have confided in each other and have shared some painful memories.

  I always look forward to Sundays now.
