Fight with daughter
by Cath ini don't post too often and this is really hard for me to do but i just have to vent about this.. i have had my answering machine take any incoming calls for the last couple of days because i am really not in the mood for talking to anyone apart from my daughters at this point in time, so i pick up only if it is one of them.. well i picked up tonight as it was my eldest and us being very close i always tell her what is going on in my life/head etc.
she is a mother herself but never was a jw as i swore i would never force that on my girls or anyone else.
she thanks me for that because her three children are free of fear and normal well adjusted kids.

Squandering/Burying Talents JW Style
by Room 215 inonce morning while on a business trip to south africa, i turned on the television in my hotel room to catch up on the local news while i prepared for my day.
instead i hit upon one of the most mesmerising,thought-provoking sermons i've ever heard.
delivered by a young black preacher it focused on jesus' parable of the talents (matt: 25) and its lesson for us all.

Mindfield - What is god - Jan 13
by Cath ini was just going back through some of the older recent material to see what i may have missed and i came across this question - what is god?.
better late than never i suppose.. i no longer believe in god as a seperate entity but believe in a life force that is within each of us and everything else on this planet and also the planet itself.. that got me to thinking about the origin of life also as he is said to have created us but as i dont believe in him where did we come from.. in my search i came across this site - http://www.spiritweb.org - which has a section on channellings.
the channellers name is john payne and if you scroll thru his stuff to his seminar called manifesting with joy (you'll need real player) and have a listen to the thing, then to the question time at the end it is quite interesting and thought provoking.

Gasp! My dad stepped inside church
by Cath ini went to my non jw nephews wedding very recently which was held in a church and imagine my surprise when i saw my jw dad standing in a side aisle waving to me.
i had to pinch myself.
needless to say he didn't remain indoors for the ceremony but i didn't think even walking into a church was allowed.

Support group
by Cath ini would like to form a support group for those ex jw's that live in perth western australia.
we all of us have a story to tell about what life was like on the "inside" for us and for some it was harder to get out than others.. i dont necessarily want everyone to tell their story as some find it very hard, but for myself, going it alone without just knowing someone who had been there was the hardest.
i dont want a very formal atmosphere, but it would be nice to be able to get together with like minded others for coffee and a chat.

Rainbow covenant... a fairy tale?
by LyinEyes inyesterday evening , after a little rain storm there was the most beautiful rainbow in the sky.
it reminded me of the promise that god gave that the earth would never be destroyed again by flood.
so every times it rains , all over the world , you will usually see a rainbow.
