SUFFERING IN SILENCE
by MerryMagdalene inhow many of you tend to suffer through your heartaches, worries, illnesses, or anything else that gets you down----alone----while wishing that you could reach out for a little reassurance, validation, affection like you see "others" do???.
i only ask because ever since i was a kid that has been my tendency and, even though i am not suffering anything right now, i can't help but think of those who are.. why do we do it?
are we afraid of what people will think of us?

Do as we do, not as we say?
by MerryMagdalene inis this just one more example of the wts preaching one thing but practicing another?.
sound, reasonable loving advice is currently being presented on their official website in regard to "your role as a parent".
but how can the average jw take this into consideration----experts believe that overscheduling children with countless adult-led activities could stifle their imagination and creativity.

He Said WHAT?!?
by MerryMagdalene inin millions now living will never die, rutherford, 2nd president of the wtbts, had this to say in regard to clergy and religion:
appeal to the clergyit is not my thought to hold up the clergy to ridicule, but rather would i appeal to them that they fulfil their duty and obligation to the people in this hour of distress.
i would remind them that the commission given to all followers of jesus is not to convert the world and bring them into some organized system.

We touch each other...
by MerryMagdalene in.
...in so many ways, some known to us, others remaining unknown and unrecognised, sometimes for years, sometimes forever.. so, my question is: would you rather know of the ways in which your presence effects others or would you prefer such things not be drawn to your attention?
recognition or anonymity?.

Sentimental Mood
by MerryMagdalene ini've been thinking back to my j-dub childhood with a sort of sad fondness.... my great-grandfather was the first witness in the valley where he lived and ranched.
he became one after listening to rutherford's radio programs.
i have no idea why and am a bit curious.

Request for Words of Love and Encouragement...
by MerryMagdalene in...for tijkmo please as he is having a rough day..... i'll start:.
we're all in this together... and whatever each of us is going through on our own we'll get through it together and never have to struggle on alone ever again cos we've found each other and accepted each other unconditionally.
we're here for you just like you are here for us (and wishin' to be there for you more than here, but thems the breaks, i guess...).
