In life we all experiance adversities. I have expreianced great adversity! I was baptised at 2, I grew up putting up with constant bullying got to the stage where I got brainwashed into believing that I was worthless, fat etc. Been through the stage of having suicidal thoughts. But though all this pain and adversity, I have benefitted greatly from it! It was hard, it was painful. But now I am very happy! with strong faith in our Father.

(I believe in fate, destiny and of cause god) I believe that everything happens for a reason, the reason can sometimes be hard to find, but we are never given anything more than we can handle. Many religions not just christians teach this. You will be surprised when you look into different religions that they all seem to have a special link (cults don't really share this special link that is how you can often tell them apart) Their Gods may seem different, some believe in re-incarnation, but if you look closely at their beliefs you will see similarities in the teachings, so even if you do not believe in the christian God there is bound to be a surpreme being out there, I looked at Hinduism the other day I have a very nice hindu friend just from what I've heard I could see so much similarities!!

So what i'm getting at is most religions (if not all) teach that there will be adversity in your life, some as lessons, some just to purify you, some to just make you a better person.

So in suffering we can triumph! It is possible! with faith we can move mountains.

So I am happy with my life, for I havea great relationship with God, and hope for the future.

I am happy with my life. But it does have its ups and downs.i Dont think id be happier if i stopped serving Jehovah. Well maybe i would, the bible does say that sin is enjoyable.........TEMPORARALLY!

I certainly don't find sin enjoyable, I don't like hurting others or offending god. Evanescence

i am not an it person per se but i do a hellaceous amount of typing and i cannot stand brand new cheaply made keyboards that are now on the market.

i prefer the old ibm clicky clack keyboards.

i take my old ibm keyboard whereever i work since i can type up a storm on it; something i really have a hard time doing with newer keyboards.

Evanescence

I've got a clickety keyboard! they are not that rare in my area.

The ones I can't stand is the Laptop keyboards ohhh I hate them sooo much!!!

I love my keyboard! its black and silver!

the kingdom hall?

jw: if you want to learn more about the jehovah's witnesses then you can always come down to the kingdom hall in (town) .

me: oh no the school i go to is in (different town).

Evanescence

Please tell us more about the JW girl who chases the Catholic kids with knives! What's that all about? Has anyone called the police on her or what?

Well there are heaps of stories on Mary also known as 'Mad Mary' (as some students like to call her ) Well we havn't really called the police or anything, she is no real threat just a bit wacko! The teachers just tell us to keep away from her.

She is A jehovah's witness she is always standing at the front of her house yellling stuff about Jehovah! and how we are all gonna die in Armageddon and that our school is for the devil! She also throws bibles at students.

She also cuts her grass with sissers (hasn't she heard of a lawn mower?) And on rainy days she goes and lyes out on the ground underneith the trees in her garden!

One day my friend walked past her house to get to school. Mary said "Do you want to buy a bible?" My friend politly said 'no' so Mary sprays her with a hose! my poor friend walked into the school soaking wet!

Well I think thats enough, you've got the point.

They believe it is the parents' responsibility to teach their kids religion and they are NOT supposed to teach other people's kids.

lol really? I thought the guy was really trying to convert me! Well he figured that my parents are oviously not interested in the Jehovah's Witnesses so it wouldn't be any point in talking to them, hey I only rang up to ask about their basic doctrines for my oral presentation.

I might have missed it .........but why did it cost you $10.00? Did you phone long distance or local?

I used my Mobile phone cause I didn't want the call to show up on the house bill and I don't know how to put the house phone on private, so I used my mobile instead and put it on private cause I don't really want the Jehovahs witnesses ringing up my house, my parents would get rather annoyed lol! Take one big guess on why it costed $10.00?? The guy was talking and talking and wouldn't stop lol! cause although it may of costed me a lot it didn't bother me too much cause I found it interesting and the JW guy was very nice! but still annoyed at losing $10 in one convo! when I just updated my phone credit! now i have to go buy some more, *Me thinks I should get a $30 doller phone credit lol!*

Male voice: "Well, IBM has the BEST computers in the WORLD!!! All those other computer companies don't have true computing power; their results are incorrect. But IBM is the BEST! Can you come down to the office here and fill out an application? Did you know we have the BEST retirement plan? Don't you want to retire in comfort? Well IBM is the only place you can do that"

Evanescence: "Um, I just wanted to know about how your departments are organized, for my business class report."

Male voice (totally missing the point): "Well, can I call you at home? [to a 15 y.o. girl???!!!???] Do you know any IBM employees that can get you a job application? Would you like to read our stock prospectus? How much money were you thinking of investing? Class A or Class B shares? Did I mention the retirement fund?"

LMAO!!!! ha ha ha! that was exactly what it was like lol! exept when I first started talking the jw woman was all confused probebly thinking (whos this and what do they want?????) I told the lady that I want to know about their doctrines the lady was still puzzled (she sure sounded puzzled) so she handed me over to the Male JW I over heard her say "there is someone on the phone who wants to know about the doctrines) Male voice sounded somewhat surprised was all like "REALLY!" (probebly thinking that its a prank or something) lol when he found out that I was serious he got all excited! he wouldn't shup up about paradise earth lol! he was going on and on and on about it! he would then mention something else then immediatly go back to the paradise earth topic lol! The JW guy was all hyped and excited it was so funny lol! I was thinking afterwards that I must of made his day lol!

Actually, more like that really great looking hamberger on TV and when you buy it, the bun is smushed, the burger is cardboard, and the lettuce and other veggies are wilted. "Ah, can I have my money back, please?"

LOL I was thinking that! the Jehovah's witnesses sound so good it was like an advertisement with tiny writing down the bottem lol! The Male JW's voice sounded like the voice you would hear on T.V he had such a 'pitch' in his voice (if you know what I mean) and when he discussed Armageddon he had that really passonate (advertisement: you better hurry! only supplied while stocks last HURRY HURRY HURRY!!!) voice about it lol!

Another urban legend in the making

LMAO!!!!! Ohhh I wonder what the JW guy is saying about me lol! I think most of the jw's would be annoyed that i dobbed them in on their field service lol! the elder had that (ohhhhh I have some people to kill once I hang up) voice about him when I told him lol! he was full on shocked that it has been a decade since a jw last came to my door lol! To all those JW's floating around, don't think that I mean any of this in offence these are just my thoughts and feelings I had when I spoke to one of your elders Evanescence

at some point in the future you may be involved in some carreer or hobby that requires that people contact you and you will be required to take every caller seriously... i imagine that you would be pretty annoyed to find out that someone did it just to have a laugh at your expense

Well I was being serious I wanted to know a bit more on their doctrine and talk to a local jw, I wasn't really laughing or mocking him! just thought the whole thing was funny but hey I was taking note for my oral presentation. and yes I'm interested in their religion but not converting of cause

Thought I'd share the convo with you guys.
