  Thesis defense

  2. friends

  tomorrow is my master's thesis defense.

  i've been working on my master's degree in applied linguistics for three years.

  i'm really nervous in spite of the fact that the defense has nothing to do with my grade.

  Do you find the bible boring?

  by ChrisVance in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was raised as a dub, and i suppose when i was quite young i found some of the bible stories interesting.

  however, the older i got the more boring the bible seemed.

  obviously, it had a lot to do with repetition.

  Proactive prayers!

  by ChrisVance in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  .

  i said this on another thread, but since prayer is "so powerful" why don't sayers of prayers pray that such disasters don't happen in the future.

  it would save a lot of misery and show "god" that you're pro-active.. answer: nothing fails like prayer.. .

  Is there something wrong with me?

  by ChrisVance in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just read david_10's thread "my mother died..." 13 years ago i called my mother, after i had left the lie because i'm gay.

  i hadn't been disfellowshipped at that point, but she told me she didn't want to keep in contact because "being homosexual is one of the worst things.

  " i told her ok and have never tried to contact her again.
