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...).

The Pain & Devastation of Learning the Truth about "the Truth"
by MerryMagdalene ina while back i posted my experience about running into an old jw friend who revealed to me he had left the "borg" and told me all about why he had.
today he e-mailed me something he had written and i want to share it for the sake of those who are going thru something similar.
i think it helps to know that we're not alone in our turmoil.

unforgivable sin
by MerryMagdalene intijkmo's post on watson's "hypothetical" thread got me wondering again...just what the heck is it to sin against the holy spirit according to jw beliefs/teachings?
for something so important as to be "unforgivable" it has always seemed awfully vague to me (so vague that i was sure as a kid that it must be masturbation and for years i felt the great weight of ultimate doom heavily upon me).
is it intentionally vague, do you think, just to keep everyone on their toes and hyper-paranoid or am i missing something?
