  I think I have lost my friend...

  by brunhilda40 in

  2. friends

  i posted earlier regarding my friend who is a jw that i have spent time with first as a work association, and then as just a friend.

  she has a lesbian daughter and me being a lesbian was able to help her understand some of her daughters lifestyle.

  i spent time staying at her home when i was in the area, had what i thought was a good relationship with her husband.

  Brunhilda I can feel your loss and pain. I was a jw for more than thirty years. I hope you can understand her dilemma. Until she leaves either her marriage or the org. she will be torn and there is nothing you can do. If her husband hasn't attended in 2 years chances are he has said nothing to the cong. He may feel uneasy with his wife having a gay friend. I know because I am gay. I lost all of my family and friends when they found out. So give her space send her a card to her workplace once in a while to let her know you are still there for her and you never know what the future holds.

  Peace Gary

  The Lesson of Martin Luther...

  by Confucious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hey guys.... just felt like posting tonight.. comment or don't comment... but there was a good thought that came to mind tonight for me.. martin luther.... no... not martin luther king, jr.. the martin luther.. and forgive me please if my historical facts aren't 100 percent.. but martin luther went against the catholic church.. he posted the 95 rig-a-ma-role on the church doors.

  basically condeming the sale of indulgence from pope leo.. anyway... martin luther went against the so called "norm" of the day.. but one of the things that i learned from him was his famous quote.... "here i stand.

  god help me.".

  i think that jehovah will bring salvation next month to all of us.

  we, ex-jws with our lifes totally destroyed by the sect-tanic machine of lies of the cheattower, will inherit the paradise.

  no entrance allowed to gay, lesbians and that kind of satanic tribes.

  So ashamed this morning........

  by Frannie Banannie in

  i was at the grocery store, wheeling a cart about 1/4 full.

  the desire to have some cigarettes was so overwhelming that i avoided my family members with me at the store, grabbed two packs of my favorite brand of cigarettes and hid them under the growing pile of items in my cart.. it was about that time that i woke up.

  and very briefly, until i came to my senses, i felt that it was no use to even try if i was going to be so weak as to sabotage my own efforts to be strong..

  I certainly wouldn't blame Bush for all the problems in the world but he sure did escalate a lot of them unneccessarily!

  I haven't seen my 3 brothers in over 20 years, as for my mom, when I would call her while she was living with my younger brother his bitch of a wife wouldn't let me talk with her so one day I called the police and had them go by the house they lived in Napa Ca. and I live in Dallas, Tx. So I just couldn't go there to check on her. Then one day they were all gone. I google searched for them all and 6 years later I found my mother she had died in Arizona in a nursing home xmas eve 2003. I still have my memories of long past but I still have bitter feelings for the way dubs teach hatred. PS they are all still active Jws as far as I know

  Thanks for everyones input I think most agree that any invasion is going to have consequences some are more treacherous than others some localized some internationally. However when Clinton was president there were no fly zones in northern and southern Iraq and we didnot have the idiots in NK and Iran spouting as much hatred as they are now. In my opinion don't be fooled these fellows are all dangerous and a big threat to any kind of peace.

  Heard at last Sunday talk...

  i almost had to sneeze and scream bullshit when i heard this.

  the brother giving the talk said that the society has never made a prediction about when the end would come.

  he said people just read what the society published, and added their own thoughts to it!!!

  I really have to agree with blondie I was there in 75 and even though it never came from above that the new system would be here by then nothing was done to stop the rumors and even some telling non jws door to door we would be in the new world by 75
