EF:
You make house calls?
yesterday, a woman who identified herself as 'christian' told me that she had been faith healed of an illness.
i asked her what it was and she said 'diabetes'.
i asked which type she had.
EF:
You make house calls?
what were you all disfellowshipped for?
.
perhaps a frequent topic overall but i never happened to notice it.
Not DF'd or DA'd; just quit going.
today is my husband, rocker-dudes, birthday!.
he is 41 which is quite disturbing for someone with heavy metal coursing through his veins...he was never supposed to pass 21. .
your 'condolences' would be most appreciated... .
Happy Birthday!!
mom and i went to have a bite to eat at one of her favorite restaurants which is in a casino.
lo and behold as we were leaving in walks 5 of her dub friends who were going to eat at the same place.
she was talking and talking and i got tired of standing there being ignored so i walked away and started playing the slots which was well in their eye site.
I didn't think it was a conscious matter also; I thought a JW couldn't work in an establishment where gambling took place and if that was the case why would it be alright for a JW to patronize a place where a JW couldn't work?
well, i introduced the kitten to catnip today ... lol!
she is too cute, except when she lands on my back with all four paws, claws out, to get my attention ... ouch!.
it just makes me wonder .. why is it okay to get our pets stoned, and not ourselves?.
all my cats would go wild on catnip also; I will try to post some of their pics sometimes; I have my own kind of katnip I enjoy from time to time and have some pink floyd CDs and DVDs to chill to
...another perfectly lovely friday night sitting in front of my computer because...
jeannie; you are not alone. Im lurking about, showered and getting ready to go out with a friend clubbing a little. I really am not into it but maybe it will change; He wanted to go out and I said I would earlier this week. I may just have a couple of glasses of wine and then come back to JWD later this evening :)

"My goal in life: to have my one nice dress on and smile for the cameras just so I can have my photograph in an edition of the Watchtower!" *sings "on the cover the watchtowerrrrr" in a parody of Dr. Hook's on the cover of the rolling stone, lol
ok, i'm finally starting some dialogue with my brother, i've let him know that i have questions that no one can answer, and he says to send them over so he can either answer them or get answers, and that no question is disallowed or "apostate".
he sent me an article (from 08.15.04 wt, thanks blondie!
) via e-mail, on which i pointed out one simple question on reply to him, which he has replied to.
"The earth was left in darkness without God's presence from the time Jesus died to 1919 when jesus came back to inspect things..."
Is that what they are teaching at this time. I may not remember correctly but isn't the parable about the separating the sheeps and the goats parallel with the parable about the wheat and the weeds growing together until the CST and then the angels are the reapers, yadda yadda yadda? If so wouldn't that show that there was some of God's presence? Does this mean that Jesus came back twice? once in 1914 and then in 1919? and if both parables mean the same thing are they now teaching that we are not living in the time of the harvest now?
a former jw friend of mine brought up to an active bro.
about the wts as an ngo and then discontinuing their.
membership.
"Elder said that "yes" he had received a letter from the Society, but only ONE person was involved"
What the hell does it matter if ONE or ONE MILLION people were involved? Is he saying that "that only one person" secretly did that without anybody at the headquarters knowing about it? What about a little leaven fermenting the whole lump? I guess it would do me no good to argue the double standards to anybody still in the org, especially to "those taking the lead" since it will only get you sent to the back room of the KH to have you thinking adjusted to their twisted legalistic logic or DF'd.

Is this an actual quote from a speaker to the Gilead students? If I heard this at a meeting now after being away as long as I have I would have to leave before I turn green and start having dry heaves.
