The same almost exact thing was said about 20 years ago. A sister in the KH I attended prided herself on copying talks on cassette tapes to lend to others. When this same drivel came out, she stopped lending them.

do you ever post without quoting the bible?
why do you feel a compulsive need to quote scriptures in all your posts?
were you once a bible-thumping jw or are you just a born-again bible thumper who never was a jw and just happens to dislike jws?.
Keep doing what you do Chalam. I'm in full agreement with you. The "scriptures" are a guideline for a happy life.
What you said is also how my life is going the past ten years since leaving the JW's. "I have had more LIFE in the last few years with faith in Jesus"................
Old HappyDad here has experienced the workings of Holy Spirit and wouldn't want it any other way. Life is great with Jesus in it.

so life comes at you pretty fast...lol............the entire scope of what we have here is pretty amazing............and you newbies?........just hang out here a bit!....geeze i never did that here with any wonder or questions in my heart...i just knew....i am wired a bit differently maybe....cause i was like ok...here it is.....i am supposed to just pour my heart out.........and did so as coaster for a hundred posts and thank you guys for not kicking me off due to my new love of cuss words....dammm i cuss soooooo much now?!?!...............
.....oh....and btw for those who do not did not know me....then or now........i just wear it all on my sleave.....i like open and honest...that is me....and i am a very sexual person.....i am a born giver too and there is nothing like the massage therapist in me to show that......lmao...i am so glad this is not on facebook..............oompa.
So Oompa.......
Reads like you just might be toking a little dried leaf! Need something else to take the place of alcochol? If so..........you just blew the time you spent in rehab and that tells me that you are on the road to self destruction. Addiction is addiction. Take it from someone who has been there,
There's always someone reaching out with a hand of help to those like you.......but if you don't want it for yourself........then what else is there.
Me.....HappyDad........I've worked with enough people in addiction to know that I can't get personally involved. My attitude today (no matter how much the bleeding hearts may hate this) is for you or whoever doesn't want a sober and clean life is to just continue on the road to whatever end is waiting for you. I really care for them and you, but to worry about you? Nahhhhh! You've chosen your own way to death.
I just wish you would realize that your life is at stake buddy and I hope you can overcome. You might not love yourself, but others love you.
NOW.....I'm really hoping that your title of this thread is a joke and that I've just finished blowing smoke for no reason at all. That is what would make me really happy.

seeing this video brought back some memories.
i got baptized at this place in 99'.
the guy actually takes the video camera back into the changing room behind the baptism pool (memories!
Drew,
So they finally remodeled the place? I haven't been there since 1996-97. The remodel must have cost more than the original construction price in the '70's.
I can't believe they took out that beautiful fireplace. At least now it looks like a glass wall in the foyer that you can actually see outside now.

my husband just called me.
he said that he's is leaving field service and is on his way home.
i told him to bring something to eat but not anything too heavy.
Good news to hear!
There was/still is a nut case in the KH I once attended who said that eating turkey on thanksgiving is taking part in demonism. What a jerk!
Even when we were good JDubs, my late wife or JW mother-in-law would make turkey even though technically we weren't celebrating Thanksgiving. And the whole JW family would come over. Fifteen people altogether. After dinner, my JW father-in-law would break out the moonshine. We already started on the beer before dinner. LOL Great memories of my past even though I was a JW who didn't know any better.
HappyDad
so my husband dragged me to the meeting this morning.
i brought my new bible that i bought instead of the nwt and he didn't say anything about it.
in the public talk, the speaker opened to matt.
Just tell your husband that IT IS NOT his place to turn in YOUr time. You are responsible for turning in your own time.
I wish you well in your having to put up with going there to keep peace with your husband.

obama lifts a ban on entry into u.s. by h.i.v.-positive peopleby julia preston.
published: october 30, 2009. .
president obama on friday announced the end of a 22-year ban on travel to the united states by people who had tested positive for the virus that causes aids, fulfilling a promise he made to gay advocates and acting to eliminate a restriction he said was rooted in fear rather than fact.. .
50 years ago, people with TB (tuberculosis) were quarantined. I know because my cousins husband was confined to a hospital clinic in Nebraska for one year until they determined him free of TB.
Today, people may look at HIV differently but in some cases it becomes full blown AIDS. I watched a pretty young 30 something girl in my community die from AIDS that she contracted from a dirty needle. A needles loss!
The powers that be have more knowledge about these things. Or at least they should have! But this is just my opinion........enough problems have happened in the U.S. by allowing the free entrance of foreigners with problems.
I vote to NOT let anyone tested HIV positive or any other contagious disease into the country.
On the other hand.....if it were someone dear to me, I'd probably feel quite differently. No matter which way I think, there is always a reasonable alternative to how others may think and feel.
I think I'm getting mellow as I age!

words fail me.. .
om & wife!.
Congratulations Open Mind and wife.
I dedicate a few verses of Johnny Mathis' "Wonderful, Wonderful" to you both. May you have the happiest life together now!
The world is full of wond'rous things it's true
But they wouldn't have much meaning without you
Some quiet ev'ning I sit by your side
And we're lost in a world of our own
I feel the glow of your unspoken love
I'm aware of the treasure that I own
And I say to myself
"It's wonderful, wonderful"
"Oh, so wonderful, my love
