this is my first forum post though i've been out here reading yours for a while.
i didn't know how to post my bio.
i became a jdub at the age of 16. i had a child out-of-wedlock who was 1 year old at the time and i was searching for answers - i wanted my son to have a future and the one the witnesses portrayed was better than anything i'd ever heard!

poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.
the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.
last weekend she actually looked a little better.
Sorry about your loss Nina, wanted to send you a bear hug. Wishing you and yours strength & courage in your time of sorrow.

one of my pet peeves is being behind a too slow driver.
it "drives" me crazy!
little kids with cell phonesThis is one that I will never be able to come to grips with!!!!
.
on a day to day basis, does it really make any difference to you as how you perceive others and how they perceive you?
if so, do you think this thought process can be altered, in one way or another, for the greater good?
And What a Wonderful World There, Franklin J!!!

Stupid shoppers in grocery stores, leaving their carts in the middle of the aisle, making it necessary for you to navigate around them or actually having to move them myself.
Stupid People Should Not Be Allowed to Breathe!!!

i know there are mostly ex jw's on here.
i just wondered how many of you are ex jws, left or df'd, how many are still in but have lost heart?.
are there any jws on here who still believe its all the truth, go to meetings and trust the organisation?.
Hey Holly, I've vanished, disappeared off the radar screen. Left of my own accord, because of my crimes. Turning myself in was mistaken for repentance, I was wishing to be executed by the state, I was given a reprieve, by that time, my guilt was so encompassing that the best thing I could think to do was to take myself out. I walked away in shame and disgrace. Walking off into the sunset, travelling lonely parched places, for 10 years.
Do I believe it's still all the truth? No, at least not entirely. I believe they have a sizeable portion of the biblical understanding correct. Living forever on an earth run by the Government of God, a new heavens and a new earth was promised. I still believe that God will have to eventually intervene in the affairs of mankind in order that he does not destroy the planet or mankind as whole. Death due to the diseases that are now on the horizon such as AIDS, West Nile Virus, Mad Cow Disease would seem to give rise for the need for God to interceed in the affairs of man, lest he come to be extinct all together. And surely, more plagues and maladies are just around the corner. With the spread of terrorism in the US, the possibility of biological terrorism is a distinct possibility. Magnify that times those who not only want to kill Americans with biological terror, but also want to kill everybody else on the planet who do not support their views, and you have a recepie for mass killings all over the planet, tenthousand fold. I believe the Jehovah's Witnesses have gotten only half the story right. I don't realistically see the time as being as near as they claim it to be, that as bad as things are here on the planet, they'll have to get even worse before anything is resolved via Jehovah God's intervention.
I continue to maintain confidence in Jehovah, His Son Christ Jesus and all the promises that are outlined in the Scriptures, I just no longer believe that Jehovah's Witnesses are the only ones who have a true relationship with the Almighty.
as i told kl, i'm not sabotaging her thread, mine has a twist, for example, my wife 'descibes' me best by always reminding that i'm not 'normal.
' this means i do things differently than the ordinary person as i'm into many activities.
many of these activities involve people.
Prophecor, how long did it take you to think that up? You did one hell of a mental exercise if its original. Good job.No time at all Guest 77, I try to keep account of my assets and liabilities daily.
