  So these bastards waited until most of the congregation had fallen asleep at the end of two boring hours and then announced, "Oh, by the way, BrotherKwinisaJehovah'sWitnessnowquickletssingasongbeforeanyonewakesupandaskswhatthehellisgoingon

  That is funny! Thats exactly how I felt when I heard it. Wow.. they did a rush job on saving someones life! They don't want anyone thinking " man.. you mean the perfect elders that pray to jehovah for his holy spirit before making any decision actually made a WRONG decision????"

  ya know.. i wouldn't mind calling her back and saying how I would like to get a copy of the up to date watchtower and awakes. Since i am choosing to 'study' at home for ease of understanding. Since going to the meetings w/ 3 kids makes it almost impossible to really listen and understand the goings on. -- But really needing the WT to see whats going on with JWs so I can better talk w/ family and help them slowly see the problems they are now blind to.

  I used to keep it by my bed for when I had nightmares about demons and i would wake up and be scared to go back to sleep and have another nightmare so i would take the bible and read some of Psalms to calm me down. Now that I am fading.. i haven't had nightmares that were so scary anymore. Does that mean god isn't with me since the demons aren't scaring me anymore?? Ya know.. cause they only torment you to get you away from god and all....(so the meetings tell you)

  I got a message on my machine from some lady. She says "HI.. this is ' ' I was just calling to see how you are doing. I know you don't know me. I go to ' local congo'. I wanted to make a visit. I was given your ph # and was excited about calling you. I hope you call me my number is ' ' and have a great evening. "

  This bothers me. Someone either in the congo that knows us or an elder gave someone our ph# without asking us if its okay.

  What should I do? Call her and ask her to dinner? lol (since hubby is DFd i wonder what she would say)

  I can't really out myself to her since family of hubby goes there and we are trying not to stir the family pot.

  I really want to know who gave out my # though.. even just to tell them to NEVER give out someones ph# without thier permission.

  Not Daily - more when i am researching for the WT study or trying to understand the reasoning behind one of the many forbidden things. But if you have one of those little books .. daily scripture ..something. I forget.. you don't need to read the bible daily.. just that thing.

  I was in Montana at home and since the cable bill wasn't paid I had no TV. I was making the beds and doing laundry when my (1st) husband came home around noon and asked me if I was listening to the radio. "no.. why would i be?" Then he told me what happened. I almost couldn't believe him... it seemed unreal. For 3 days all i heard were radio accounts of the tragedy until we finally went out to eat at a sports bar and 3 of the 5 tvs were showing the tapes of the plane crashes. The thing that just freaked me out so much were the news of the people.. jumping from the bldg!!!

  Wouldn't it be a better witness of what a great religion it is and how loving the people are if they did try to not just help their own , which was a great thing, but also to help others as well???? People would then say.." wow.. those JWs were so nice and helped so many people no matter who they were.. maybe we should study with them!!!"
