looks like israeli intelligence is saying that our old friend sadaam has hooked up with bin lahden to cook up yesterdays attacks.
great ... this means war with an insane man who has chems and nukes and can't wait to use them.
hold on folks ... it is going to be a bumpy ride.

i have not been posting here for long and i am trying to get a "feel" for the makup of the group.
i thought about telling my story in the personal experiances area but chickened out.
i have noticed that the majority of the posters here are xjw's but there seem to be a few active jw's.
Thaks folks ... I am trying to work up the corage ... I will write the story soon .... promise ...

I have noticed that the majority of the posters here are XJW's but there seem to be a few active JW's. 2 questions. Who is Whom? and .... (with all due respect) If you are an active JW, what does it say about your "spirituality" or your willingness to adhere to the organizations "principles", that you post here?

if i am misquoting the theology espoused by jws then please correct me.. but i am trying to appreciate their theology as far as death and armageddon are concerned.
we know that the jw belief is as follows: "he who has died has been acquitted of his sin".
this is often used to imply that almost all who die prior to the great tribulation or armageddon will receive a resurrection of life or judgement (ok we know sodom dudes, judas and the flood victims wont get one according to jw theology).
normie67,
I appreciate your attempt at fairness, but I must say that your experience has been vastly different than mine. I was associated with 5 English speaking and 2 Spanish speaking congregations in 3 different states, and I must say that I have never experienced a more judgemntal group of people.
You say that they don't judge, but would you feel comfortable telling them that you regularly read and post here??

...that he's finally out of the limelight.. before it struck home how actually horrific this whole thing was, i cracked a joke about how much gary condit paid to have those two planes rammed into the wtc, just to get himself out of the top news story spot.... i apologized to the person i made the comment to, and still feel guilty.
reagan.
i am the master of my fate/i am the captain of my soul.
Don't feel too bad. Bob made a very similar comment on the way to work this morning. Not having to hear about Congressman Condit might be the only only little bit of silver lining we find in this cloud.

I am so depressed. I am really trying hard not to be but I am. My mother called last night to "Witness" to me again. She calls every few weeks to tell me about a wonderful talk or excited about her upcoming part at the circuit assembly or some other thing. I am getting more and more ill. Last night I was sufficiently intoxicated to handle the situation, but I am beginning to feel physically ill whenever I talk to her. I am trying not to completely alienate my family, my hope is to one day help open their eyes to the truth about the WTBS. However,I can't continue the way I am going now. I am getting closer to that place where I won't give a sh**. I am afraid that I will just go off one day and then they will lable me apostate and close their minds and hearts to me. How have you handled this situation? What has worked for you??
BobsGirl
maybe later.
i wish i could delete this thread, but i don't know how.
really sorry.. bobsgirl
Maybe later. I think that maybe it was a little to soon to try and do this ... sorry. I wish I could delete this thread, but I don't know how. Really sorry.

The American Red cross is coordinating blood donations nationwide. You can call (800) Give-Life to schedule an appointment locally. They are trying to encourage people to make appointments for the next few weeks. With the tragedy so fresh, everyone is anxious to donate now, but inevitably, donations will decrease as time passes. The need however, will not. You can also make a tax deductible credit card donation to the Red Cross by calling (800)Help Now.
